PSALM LII.
DIxlT lNsIPIENs.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Helen Hughes HieIscher.)

The fool in his heart said There is no
God,'
The nations corrupted have gone
astray,
Abominations stalk forth in the day,
And men no longer the truth applaud.
God cast a glance from His throne
above,
To see if any might understand,
Or seek His knowledge or His COM
mand,
But all had gone astray from His love.
But the workers of evil shall they not
know,
Who eat my people as they eat bread ?
They shall tremble and fear where
there is no dread,
And their dust on the wings of the
wind shalt blow.
The great ones shall God confound and
despise,
But who out of sin shall Israel save,
And scatter the powers that his sons
enslave?
Then Jacobs song to the Lord shall
rise.

CHRISTMAS GREETING

| His life, when He said, Behold, 1
come" until the last, when He said,
| 1T is consummated," in that frenzy Of
| love to blot out transgression and
save the transgressor, He was tor
tured not so much by cold, cross, and
death, as by the fact that the cold
was not colder, and the weight Of
the cross not heavier, and the pangs
of death not keener, and the limits
of endurance in human nature not
less restricted. Il have a baptism"
He said, "wherewith l am to be bap-
tized and how am | straitened until
it be accomplished" Could infinite
love be more infinitely shown?
Of old, most significant were the
symbols of Gods eternity. He ap-
peared as the Ancient of Days. A
rainbow encircled His throne. In
that unceasing song of Heaven there
is explicit mention of Him who was,
who is, who ever shall be-" But far
more significant of eternity than the
rainbow is the Babe of Bethlehem.
The Evangelist traces His lineage
back to David, to Abraham, to Noah,
to Seth, to Adam, "who was of Cod"
prophecy sees Him coming in the
clouds to judge all men. The first
pages of the Bible speak of Him; so
do the last. He spans all time from
horizon to horizon, veritable image OF
the eternal God.
Of old, clear was the indication in
the color of the jasper of Gods un-
changeable nature. Neither time nor
weather wears away the jasper stone.
But clearer still is Gods immutabiiity
reflected in Christ, "the stone rejected
by the builders" Neither the decep-
ton of pride, nor the snare Of sense,
nor the flattery of demons could make
Him swerve or falter in His mission,
until it was consummated. InfleXible
in the truth, unbending before the
storm, and untarnished in wicked
world, He ever remained the mirror
of God, with whom there is neither
change nor shadow of change"
Furthermore, with this transcend
ent steadfastness, He manifested and
which wins all hearts. For He too
has His throne, before which the ten
thousand times a hundred thousand
stand. More than billion Christians
have lived and died with glowing
love for Him, and st. John assures
us that countless multitude of all
tribes and nations and tongues sing
| His praises forever above.
Now, if those prophets of old,
piercing through the outward mani
festations, proclaimed that they saw
God, how much more we, realizing
through Faith all the Babe Of Beth
lehem is, should confess with st.
John 1--WE saw His glory, the glory as
it were of the only begotten Of the
Father, full of grace and truth? Be
hold, there is not an attribute of God
that is not stamped upon His brow.
Behold, even in His human nature, He
is the splendor and image of the
Father. Blessed vision of Faith,
which will make our surrender COM
plete, our Christmas real, our joy
supreme!

THE DISTINGUISHED CATHOLIC
AuTHOR-HIS VARIED LITER
AIRY GIFTs-INFLUENcE AS A
CONVERT.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Cecil Underwood.)

English Catholic literature received
two heavy blows in recent years; one
in the death of Canon Sheehan; the
other in the more recent loss of Robert
Hugh Benson.
Monsignor Benson's life, brief as it
was, covered an important period in
the history of modern Catholic Eng
land. The glorious outburst of the
Oxford movement which sent a thrill
of new Catholic life into every nook
and corner had steadied down into a
strong constant stream of converts; !;
and the distinguished son of the An
glican Archbishop was caught in what
his father somewhat facetiously styled
the "Romeward Drift His conver-
sion like that of so many celebrated
Anglicans was a nine-day's wonder !;
some religious journals of the Church
of England commented sarcastically
on his detection to Rome; few non
conformists remarked that "Mr. Ben.
sons 'apostacy' came as matter OF
course-a logical sequence to ritual
ism which must be inspired by the
Jesuits, SO artfully do High Church.
men play into the hands of Rome.
From the various criticisms one
gathers the important fact that Mon
signor Benson was a person of very
high standing in the Anglican fold
partly due no doubt to the ecclesias
tical position held by his father, but IN
larger measure explained by hif
superb literary gifts.
The readers of The Catholic Bulletir
may not be acquainted with the full
output of this literary genius, inasmucl
as many of his novels have not ap
peared in America. Here is a partia
list which may serve as a guide t.

ROBERT HUGH BENSON

What Authority; The Kings Achieve
ment; The Kings Business; The
Queens Tragedy; The Coward; Lord
of the World; The Average Man;
Richard Raynal; A Mirror Of Shalott.
Besides this large amount of fiction,
there are volumes of sermons, essays,
historical sketches not to mention one
or two incursions into the drama.
A Literary Genius.
The first characteristic of Benson's
literary genius, therefore, is it's mar
velous fertility. When we bear in
mind that he died at the age of forty
three-a time when the intellectual
man has only reached the maturity
of his powers-we marvel all the more
at the magnitude of his literary work.
Add to this the condition of his health
which was never robust, and the won
der grows how he ever accomplished
SO much-we are forcibly reminded
of the career of Robert Louis Steven
son. Indeed, there are many points
of similarity between the two novel
lists; for along with unhagging indus
try under most adverse physical con-
ditions, both authors displayed upcom-
mon fluency and nice regard for
style; although the diction of Steven
son is at times overwrought and
therefore little strained, whereas
the style of Benson sometimes suf-
fers from haste and carelessness.
Yet one observes in both the same
delicacy and refinement in the choice
of words and phrases and figures-a
fine mastery of the medium of express
sion which adds peculiar charm to
all their works. They were rare spir-
its possessed of the keenest artistic
instinct, whose literary motto might
have been borrowed from Keats;
Beauty is truth, truth, beauty.
Here, however, the similarity ends;
for while Stevenson took the floWery
path of romanticism and wandered off
on treasure islands, lingering in fairy
lands of fancy, and cultiyating the
literary field simply for the number
and variety of flowers he could raise,
Benson faced the hard practical mod
ern world with its ancient problems

FATHER WiTZEL, Q. Y. NJ, FOR
VALoR ON THE BATTLEFIELD.

Information has been received at st.
Bonayenture's Monastery, Paterson, N
j., of the honor conferred upon one
of the members of the Order-Rev
Theophilus Witzel, o. F. My the
Kaiser in recognition of particular
valor displayed on the battlefield.
Father Theophilus has two brothers
in the Franciscan priesthood and an
other in the ranks of the diocesan
clergy.
While the exact particulars have not
been supplied, possloly4 due to Gen.
sorship, it appears that, Father Theo-
philus was engaged in an important
expedition, and he and some others
were reported among the missing for
several days. Upon their return his
companions reported an act of signal
bravery performed by the priest which
reached the ears of Emperor William
Father Theophilus was sent for,
greeted most cordially by the Kaiser,
and in recognition of his services pre-
sented with the Iron Cross.

FROM A PASTOR TO HIS PARISH
TONER'S.

Once more the joyful anniversary
of the Saviour's birth is at hand;
once more, from those far-off Judean
plains, we catch the echoes OF the
angels song. Now, indeed, it is good
to cast out worldly cares. Now it is
good to summon the light of Faith and
in spirit to enter more deeply into
what the apostle conceived as a
stately temple with length and
breadth and height and depth. This
temple not made with hands is the
Christmas shrine of Faith. There we
see Babe on pallet of straw but
diffusing the light of God and the joy
of Heaven. There we hear but one
word, but it is a word which makes
melody in countless hearts,-the
angel-whispered word, Jesus, Saviour
This is the permanent vision of the
children of Faith, which the spirit Of
God ever abiding, ever evokes. 1t is
a vision, (Ah, let it not fade!) which
transcends all the raptures of saint
or seer of old. They indeed for a
brief moment seem to have been
carried in spirit into the court of
Heaven, to have seen the Most High
reflected in magnificent surroundings
and to have heard the triumphal
peans of the heavenly hosts. Grand
is their vision; sublime, their story
of what they saw. But withal the
lasting vision of God in the Babe of
Bethlehem, were it ours to compre-
hend as, according to the apostle, all
the saints have comprehended it, is
grander, sweeter, and more soul
stirring still The time invites us to
essay the attempt and to make that
vision entirely our own.
Beautiful was that picture of Gods
infinitude in the vision of the seers of
old. The placid sea with it's myste-
rious depths and unseen shores re.
fiected the endless perfection of Him,
who is Perfection itself. His infinite
power, wisdom and love are beyond
mortal ken to fathom. 1t is not the
seraphic wings which really hide.
They only indicate, what cannot but
be hidden from the seer's gaze. "He
dwelleth in light inaccessible, whom
no man hath seen or can see." But
far more beautiful is the mirror of
this infinite power, wisdom and love,
which the Babe of Bethlehem holds
up to the world. Behold His power!
While yet the Christ child is lying an
infant in the manger, a star is NOV
ing from the East, powerful King is
trembling on his throne. Soon He
will make earth and air, water and
fire do His bidding. Demons will flee
at His word; and at His touch, death
will yield back his prey. Hear His
wisdom! He will look out serenely
from the very center of truth and the
words, which will fall so simple from
His lips, will endure forever. See
His unbounded love for justice and
for the unjust! But no! "The charity
of Christ surpasseth all knowledge,
it is beyond our seeing. We only
know that from the first moment oi
