A SAINT FOR The WEEK.
ST. FELIX OF VALOIS.

st. Felix was son of the Count of
Valois. His mother took him at his
birth, to obtain the blessing of ST.
Bernard, and throughout his youth did
all she could to cultivate in him a
spirit Of charity. The unjust divorce
between his parents matured long
formed resolution Of leaving the
world; and confiding his mother to
her pious brother, Thibault, Count of
Champagne, he took the Cistercian
habit at Clairvaux. His rare virtues
drew on him such admiration that,
with st. Demands consent, he fled to
Italy, where he led an austere life
with an aged hermit At this time
he was ordained priest, and his old
counsellor having died he returned to
France, and for many years lived as
a solitary at Cerfroid- Here Goblin
spired him with the desire of found
ing an Order for the redemption of
Christian captiyes, and moved st. John
of Malta, then a youth, to conceive
a similar wish. st. John sought out
the aged Felix in his retreat, and
there together they drew up the rules
Of the Order of the Holy Trinity.
Many disciples gathered round them;
and seeing that the time had come
for further action, the two Saints
made a pilgrimage to Rome to obtain
the confirmation of the Order from
Innocent III. Their prayer was grant
ed, and the last fifteen years of Fe-
lix's long life were spent in organic
ing and developing his rapidly increas-
ing foundations. He died A. d. 1918.
| st. Felix was seventy years of age,
and worn out with austerities, when
he undertook his journey on foot to
Rome Burning, however, with zeal
| and longing to save all those poor
| suffering souls. whose rescue he had
| planned he seemed to feel no fatigue
so that st. John, his companion, be-
ing amazed, could not forbear asking
! him how it was that neither the
length of the way nor it's dangers
seemed to exist for him. Felix being
i thus forced to speak, acknowledge that
/ he saw nearly all the time an angel
before him, who held him up over the
| difficult passes, and spoke words OF
| hope and courage to him which made
him forget all but the object he hat
| in view.

cleanse us to Himself a people ac-
ceptable and pursuers of good works.
1t would be we'll if people would
endeavor to carry some of the good
cheer that abounds on Christmas
day along with them through the en-
tire year. A little sprig of holly
bright with sparkling berries, should
adorn our deeds all the year through.
We are apt to be recklessly lavish OH;
this day. We seem to hoard all our
kindness and generosity for one
grand pyrotechnical eXposition-that
takes place once a year. Why not.
use little of it each day; there'll be
a good supply Of it left by the end.
of the year, and we will have height
ened the joy Of anticipation. Let us
remember that kind word today is
worth litany Of regrets tomorrow.
Let no day of our lives pass without
having done something or said some
thing that will make others happy
and better for us. There are so many
opportunities given us in the course of
Il year for doing good, and which We
allow to pass by unheeded.
1t is often that we should tighten
the burden that rests heavily on the
shoulders Of some neighbor or
friend, if we would only bear in mind
that it was for cur fellow man, as
we'll as for us, that the Christ-Child
came into the world.
Selishness is, unfortunately, the
motive that regulates our daily con-
duct. But the lesson we can learn on
Christmas Day is one that should
teach us the virtue of unselfshness,
and the same spirit that animates us
on that day should pursue our deeds
through life. With selfishness most
of us combine thoughtlessness. If we
were a little more thoughtful-a little
more concerned about others-we
would make the entire year one grand
Christmas celebration.

THE CHOICE
A CHRISTMAS STORY.

The roses had come in large box
from the florist addressed in mas
euline hand to Miss Belle Moore, Four

AS the girl opened the box she gave
an excited exclamation Of surprise and
pleasure as the beauty and fragrance
If the flowers filled the room. They
we're American Beauties, each one
perfect in its radiant loneliness. Their
stems were wrapped in cotton wool to
preserve them from the keen, icy air
Of a frosty Christmas Eve Outside
the snow was falling softly in feathery
fakes whirled by the frolicsome wind
hither and thither ere it reached the
streets and mercifully hid the muddy
footpath caused by days of incessant
rain Within, the roses lent beauty
% the shabby room, the roses and the
girl being it's only attraction. The girl
was a contrast to the flowers, mas
much as instead of possessing their
rich coloring she was fair as lily,
with great masses of blonde hair and
sparkling blue eyes.
ooh, you beauties?" she whispered
softly. You bring me message of
love and wealth enough to carry me
away from these hateful surround
ings."
Her eyes glanced disdainfully
around. Then she lifted a rose from
he box and pinned it carefully in her
dress and surveyed the effect in a
mirror.

enigmatieally, while for a second a
hard look married the perfect lowell.

letter. "Oh, dear Mother of God, y she
cried, 'haye my prayers been in vain ?
In what have l failed that this should
happen? If l were only in time to
save her from her terrible deed!''
The thought acted like. a whip to
spur her on to definite action. Hur-
riedly putting on her outdoor gar
ments, she ordered taxicab, and leav-
ing directions in a brief note to her
husband as to her destination, she
drove off to the Hotel ST. Simon. Her
heart was bursting with grief and
horror. The vision of Belle obsessed
her-Belle as she saw her last in her
defiant young beauty-when she had
decided to give up everything for the
love of George Matthersdn regardless
of the cost. Belle a suicide! Dear
God, it could not be true! Perhaps
she had repented at the last moment!
Faster! Faster!" she cried to the
chauffeur. Her voice sounded strange
| " hoarse and her breath came in
sohbing gasps AS the cab stopped in
front of the great hotel she tried to
seem calm and act as if nothing were

to hide her agitated face and made her
way to the hotel elevator. As she
walked quickly along the seemingly
endless corridor which led to Bellies
room, she prayed ferventlt: 20 God
give me strength to face this horror.
She turned the handle of the door and

HOW THE WAR AFFECTS US

There appears to be a wide diff
ference OF q min as to the measure
of material tenefit or loss the Unit
Ell States will sustain by reason of
the war in Europe. The London Stat
list takes a very rosy view of the
prOspec. from the American stand
point and declares: THE United
,ates can become. as It has this
week the world greatest market
for capital, and IL the American peo-
pie rise to their opportunity they
can do a great deal to mitigate the
disastrous economic consequences
which would otherwise result In
many countries from a great Euro
pean wars
On the other hand. Henry Clews,
the New York banker, says: The ef-
feet of the war upon the United Stat
es win be highly injurious" A rise
in the cost Of food products is one
of the evils he states He admits
however, that probably some indus
tries would benefit by the demand for
war material and there would be
better demand for cur manufactures
OF steel, textiles, etc, to meet the
vacancy caused by the loss of for
eign trade with Germany and other
European nations would inevitably
incur" But this, in his opinion.
overbalanced by the fact that the
worlds money markets would be vio-
lently deranged, and our own would
ultimately feel the stain. Higher
interest rates would surely follow the
wholesale destruction of capital.
Whether Mr.. Clews or the London
Statist are right or wrong, every
serious obstacles. Our foreign trade
right thinking American would a.
thousand times rather forego snyI
material profit than witness, even
at this safe distance, the awful des
truction and barbarism of the inter
national European conflict But the
die is cast, and we must follow the
advice CT our great President, all
at the present time act as Ameri--
cans and Sc that America does not
suffer from what is going on In the
world at large Our own position is
sound, and We owe it to mankind to
remain in such condition ard in
such a state of mind that we can
help the rest of the world"
A few years ago it was unbelieva-
that such terrible war couIs ever
occur among what was supposed to
be the civilized nations of tthe
earth. The events of the past month
shows clearly that Europe has gone
back to the customs of the dark ages,
We should feel proud that we live
in America and are Americans.
