1.-THE SEED is THE WORD OF
GOD"
The Seed to Be Nourished by Mem
ory, Heart and Will.

1.-THE sower went out to SOW his
seed" On this beautiful parable
which is read on Sexagesima Sunday,
Father Chaignon, S. j., writes instruc-
lively
God speaks to men in many different
ways, he says. The inspiration or
good thought is one of the ordinary
ways of communication between God
and man. All the designs Of our
Saviour may be reduced to three: To
make Saints on earth; to bring souls
to heaven; to procure the glory of
God through the virtues of the former
and the happiness of the latter. To
execute this plan He uses a good
thought, which is an interior word, a
divine seed, containing the germ of
all the blessings which His love has
destined for us in time and in eternity.
The first object of the Son of God
in coming into this world was to re-
the true worship of His majesty. For
this object He inspires us with good
thoughts. 1t is this that enables us
to know, to love, and serve God, and
establish His reign in our hearts.
can neither know nor love God if He
does not reveal Himself to my intel,
lect and to my heart. When He
wishes me to glorify His infinite wis
dom, He opens to my mind the secrets
of His providence, the great designs
He has concerning me, the admirable
means by which He governs me.
When He wishes that I should fear
His justice, He unveils for me the
evil and malice of sin, places under
my eyes, as He did for the woman OF
Samaria, the crimes which l commit.
ted, and at this sight I acknowledge
that deserve His chastisements.
The same should be said of the
other two ends of His Incarnation
which were to sanctify men on earth
and to bring souls to heaven.
Three things, says st. Thomas, are
necessary for him who hears the wore
of God. He should preserve it in his
memory, allow it to penetrate into his
heart, and direct his will so as tt
follow it's impulse. Now this is wha
is wanting to us: Our soul is like unto
highway, open to all travellers
truth is expelled by vanity, goot
thoughts by frivolity. Hardly has the
holy seed fallen upon it when the
devil destroys it, for this soul is like
unto stony ground. Virtue can mo-
take root in it; though some passing
sentiments of devotion appear on the
surface occasionally the heart remain!
hardened. Or it may be thorn!
ground in which vices stifle the growth
of virtues; the cares of time caus'
the lone only thing necessary" to b.
forgotten, though the Master said
Seek first the kingdom of God" {
Jesus, give me a calm, recollecteC
mind retaining Thy word, an attentive
soul considering the same, and FREE
from the passion which might proven

CHRIST AND THE CHILDREN.

The twilight came in Judea
At the close of sultry day,
And the laborers turned them home
ward
From the meadow and hillside gray,
In the shade of the palm they lin
gered
BY the side of deep old we'll,
And greeted their friends and neigh
bors
AS the peaceful twilight fell.
Hither the patient camels
From the dusty wayside came,
And the gentle sheep from the pas
ture,
Which the shepherds call by name,
And the little children loitered,
Tired with their merry play;
And they drank of the crystal water
In the cool of the passing day.
And there came the Master also,
To rest Him little space,
And the children clustered round
Him,
Drawn by the S0uIlo LnCO,
And the tiny brown-haired maidens,
And the little lads eager-eyed,
Trustingly leaned upon Him;
And rested there by His side.
And He lovingly clasped the wee
ones,
Feeling kinship sweet,
Master of earth and Heaven
With the little ones at His teet'
And He raised His eyes to the people
And said in His clear voice mild,
ITO enter the kingdom of Heaven
Become as little child"
The clear stars shone DER the hill
tops
AS the children homeward sped,
And the Master unused by the we'll
side,
And the sheep to the fold were led
And the years that have passed are
many,
But the Masters heart is the same
And He blesses the little children
Who whisper in love His name.

S under the charge of a vicar apos-

is under the charge of vicar apos-
tolic.
The third error which affected the
Divinity of Christ followed upon the
schism of Photius and of Caerularius
in the ninth and eleventh centuries.
In spite of these heresies of Nestor-
JUS and of Eutyches, the vast bulk
of the Eastern Church was still faith
full to Rome. This fidelity broke when
there was question of the procession
of the Holy Spirit from the Father
and the Son. True to their tendency
to fail to follow Rome and, as con-
sequence, to belittle the second Per
son Of the Holy Trinity, the Eastern
Church in the ninth century threw
off allegiance to the Pope and postu-
lated the Father alone as the Prin-
ciple from which the Holy Ghost pro-
ceeds. Today there are more than a
hundred millions in this self-styled
Orthodox Church. There are seven
teen Independent jurisdictions, Of
which the chief is that of the Great
Church, the patriachate of Constan-
tinople. The Russian Church is the
largest of the Orthodox Eastern
Churches; it numbers eight times all
the others put together.
Such is only brief outline of the
various elements that go to make up
the Eastern Church. A very small
portion of this Church is in union
with Rome; and yet the differences
between the heretics and the Uniats
in the Eastern Church are very slight
The Monophysitism of the earlier
heretics is scarcely preceptible. If
premacy of the Holy Father, there
would be no more trouble in uniting
them with the true Church of Christ.
There is special reason why the
members of the League of the Sacred
Heart should pray for the return to
the true fold of these sheep that are
strayed, special reason over and above
the wish of the Holy Father. We
build our devotion of the Sacred Heart
upon the dogma of the Divinity OF
Christ. The devotion to the Sacred
Heart is a love of reparation of our
dear Saviour with His human Heart
as the symbol of His love of repara.
ton which is the motive of ours. The
Divinity of Jesus is that which makes
Him the object of our worship, our
love of reparation And it is this very
Divinity of Jesus that the Eastern
Churches have be1ittled to such an ex
tent as to separate themselves from
His mystical Body, the Catholic
Church. Let us pray that these oul
separated members may join the mys
tic Body by accepting the Divinity Of
Christ fully, in all that it entails; and
by submitting themselves either cor
porately or individually to the only
power which Christ Jesus established
as His vicarious power,-that of the
Holy See of Rome.

IN
MCCARTHY PUT OUT BY
 CUNBOAT SMITH

New York,Dec. 24-Another would be ''White Hope was eliminated last night at the Empire A. C., when Gun boat Smith knocked out Tom McCar- thy in four rounds. The result came
 I 8, surprise after Mccarthy had held .. commanding lead for three rounds. The end came so quickly that few Of the spectators realized it.
 Mccarthy had been satisfied to box at long range, for he had been ad- vised that the Gunboat carried 8 sleep-producing punch, for which he appeared to entertain a, wholesome regard. Smith had tried several vicious swings, but Tom evaded them.
 Then in the fourth round, aS the two men came together, Smith shot out his right, which found a. mark on his opponents jaw. The blow was delivered with all the power it was possfble to put into it, and the effect was startling Bleeding profusely from the mouth the Western cow puncfer dropped to the canvas-cov- cred floor.
 He was too dazed to heed his sec- ond's advice to take the limit of the count before arising and staggered to his feet. Any chance he might have had to recover from this crushing blow was dissfpated by hl1is action for Smith who was towering over the. be- wildered boxer, did not give him a chance to recover, but rushed in with right and left swings that. rocked Smiths head fram one side to the other. Na
 Once more Mccarthy went down, srasping the ropes in a frantic effort to maintain his equilibrium. He was a beaten man, and when he rega1ned his feet he was attacked by another fusiIIade of blows The inhunan part of the boxing game entered into the combat at this stage, and Referee Dan Lone disregarded the loud cries to stop the contest, and it was not until Mccarthy fell over the ropes helpless that he ordered Smith to his corner.

WOLGAST FOOLISH TO
 ENTER RING WHILE
 ARM IS INJURED
H T. s Andreus

Sending a boxer into the ring against an opponent before an in 5ured hand or arm is properly healed in not the best plan for a manager. but still they will take chances That was always the trouble with Ad WoI- gast- He would hurt his arm and enter the ring again before it was in shape, with the result that he would have it bandaged up for repairs con tinuaIly- Even now Ad is quite un- easy because he canot get back into the ring, although hiss arm is not in proper shape and if he is wise he will
 wait at least another month before trying to use it in a match. Rftchfe Mitchell the Mil waulree feather weight, who is fast growing into g. footsteps the other night when he met Knockout Mars of Cincinnati
 Mitchell had hurt his right hand having spraiRed it, and should have waited another week or two before engaging in match, but he too chance against Mars and again sprained it, with the result that he will have to lay off at least a, month before he can fight again. It is only 8 sprain. but sometimes a sprain is worse than a. break, as it takes rest and time to bring it around all right Mitchell is a game lad and fought with his sore hand just the same W1Dn1IS Only c e5IldQS N0TOlCL.= lie O1Q not show his real class against Mars as he could not use his right hnd as often as he should, and that did no: htlp him any.
 Mans showed more class than the fans had been led to expect even though he has the awkward position of standing with his right foot for ward. It takes time for a boxer to solve him and the Kid is always dar- gerons with a good healthy left hand wailops which leads to the supaosi- ton that he is naturally left-handed. Reports have beencsetn out that Mars sail in, but If that is true then there are many featherweights about the country who are supposed to be O. K, who do not stand in the same class with the lad. He has many good fights left yet, but he wants to keep down to his own weight and not try to give away poundage to boys equally as good.

Heinie Wagner to Be
 Providence Manager

Boston, Dec. 24-With the passing of Wild Bill Donovan from the ranks of the Providence. club the announce ment that Heinie Wagner will man age the Providence club is daily ex- pected. For many months past it has been noised about, and in fact freely talked over in baseball circles, that Heinie Wagner was tot be the next manager of the Providence Grays.
 At the same time the question was asked what was President Joseph J.. Lannin to do with Bill Donovan. Bill Donovan had come through with a pennant winner for President Lam min last season, and there was hardly any conceivable cause for giving Bill his release.
 Donovan had been a faithful ena- pIoye of the Providence club since leaving Detroit three years agoS and had been a grand success. Wagner had played wonderful ball for the Red Sox for 3. number of years, and being brainy bal1-player and a. born leader, it was only natural that Pres ident Lannin should want to place Heinie in a position where he could do the most good.
 He knew Heinfe Wagner, knew his ability as a ball player and had ex- plicit confidence in him. President Iannin wanted to make Heinie man ager at Providence, and that that the loophole has come, the next step will be to put Heinie in, charge of the Grays.

McFARLAND NEVER FOUGHT CHAMPION
 IN KINGDOM CAREER

New. York, Dec. 24-The efforts that are being made to match ''Pae- kew Mcfarland and Freddie Welsh for a ten round bout to be held at Ma adison Square Garden recall that never has boxer attained the height that the Chicagoan has climbed to without at least having chance to fight for championship. Rated as the greatest boxer Of all dII1es McHar- land has met nearly of the best light weights. but not once has title been the stake for which he has battled E
 Possibly this is true because in the ten years he has been boxing, but one decision of record has been given against him. That was in his first year in the game, back in 1904, when Dusty Miller defeated him in five rounds But four times when deci- sions have been given in bouts in which he has been a principal have the verdicts been draws. In making this statement the many no decision bouts in which he has taken part are not considered.
 His record, however, is not the ex- cuse champions have advanced for steering clear of his left jabs and right crosses. His weight has been the chief drawback. "Packey' has not been a 1S3 pounder rngside for, several years. It is impossible for him to make that weight ringside. And for several years ftPackey'' has 
 ringside and be strong enough to do himself justice. He is and has been what might be called tsthree o'clock lightweight
 'tPackey'' is one of those "fn be tweeners.'' He is a, few pounds over the lightweight limit, and therefore must necessarily be classified as a welterweight- Ever since Mike Gibbons devlopd into a star the fans have clamored for a meeting between these two great boxers. If. they could be brought together the result should be slashy boxing ex- hibition.
 However, just at present all efforts are being centered in & meeting be- tween Mcfarland and Welsh, the lightweight champion. As was the case some days ago; one pound stands between these two 1umfnaries Mcfarland Is willing to make 136 pounds at three o'clock, but Welsh insists upon 1855 pounds.
 The last time that Mcfarland fought in this city was in a ten round bout against Tommy Murphy, and he tied the Flatbush scrapper into several kinds of knots before the fin al gong. Murphy was no match for his cleverness, and it is possible that Welsh while dickering with McFar land recalls that incident.
 There is little doubt that McFar- land would earn a popular decision over Welsh if they should meet but Welsh would not lose any prestige in such an encounter, for the '.fans'' do not expect the champion to outbox the wizard" They realize that Me Farland is too heavy to be a cham pionship possibility, but they always like to see him pitted against the best and they always like to see the best willing to meet the Ghicagoan, For this reason Welsh would gain popularity for his daring in taking on Mcfarland, even though McFar- land should outpoint him by a deci sive margin

 says that Lobert has not yet signed with any one. and that he will not do any further business with the Feds
 McGraw will attempt to make a trade with President Baker of the Phillies, and will point out to Baker that the only way in which the player can be saved to the league is trade him to New York.
