LEGEND OF MEXICO
STORY OF IT'S COAT OF ARMS.


The coat of arms of the republic OF
Mexico, which occupies the center or
white bar of the flag and consists Of a
beautiful device representing an
eagle perched upon cactus (what
in Mexico is called nopaD, devouring
serpent, is intimately connected
with the history of the people, says
the Philadelphia Ledger In the be-
ginning of the fourteenth century the
ancient Mexicans, or Aztecs, after
wandering for long time around the
Mexican valley looking for place to
build their city, arrived after terrible
sufferings and adventures on the
southwestern border of Lake Tezcoco
in 1925.
There they halted, for in front Of
them they beheld what naturally they
considered an suspicious omen from
their gods. An immense royal eagle
of extraordinary size and beauty
stood upon a cactus growing in the
crevice of rock washed by the
waves of the lake. In its talons it
held serpent, and its broad, beauti-
full wings opened to the rising sun.
Obeying the mandate of their oracle
that there they should build their
city, they set TO work, and BY driving

IN SWEDEN
PRETTY COSTUMES OF THE HOLY
SEASON.

The pretty custom of carol-singing
prevalent in Germany and England,
is observed also in Sweden, with the
addition of the bearing of the Christ
mas Star. This star is made of gay
colored paper generally red, and
measures four or five feet across. 1t
is uplifted and borne from house to
house by groups of young men, sing
ing the Christmas hymns. Sleepers,
awakened by the joyful music, see
through their windows the bright star,
and with thoughts of Bethlehem in
their hearts, rise, and invite the hear
ers to a repast of cake and coffee.
Another pretty custom is that of
including the animals in the happy
celebration. In the early morning,
the father of every household, be he
peasant or nobleman, must go to the
household pets, and to the occupants
of kennel, barn and stable, giving
them a portion of their favorite food,
and saying, You have this because
it is Christmas Day." For the wild
birds that tarry through the winter,
bread and wheat are tied to the trees,
over doorways or to the caves of the
house. One is reminded of Isaiahs
vision, "The cow and the bear shall
feed"
The Swedes like to visit one an
other at Christmas time, and great
preparations are made in the homes
for extensive entertaining. The
women are trained to be good cooks,
and are skilled in the making of many
kinds of cake and sweet bread. Some
times, samples of as many as fifty
different kinds of cake will be placed
in a bag, and given to departing
guests, as farewell token of good
will.

MOST BEAUTIFUL HYMN
"SILENT NIGHT, HOLY NIGHT" is
THE GRANDEST CHRISTMAS
HYMN EVER SUNG.

The most glorious Christmas hymn
in the world is Silent Night, Holy
Night" and is sung wherever civilized
people dwell.
The English version is pretty
enough, but it is said that it does
not entirely catch the spirit of the
original German hymn, which is ma
jestic in it's simplicity. The hymn
was written in 1918 by a German
priest who had undertaken to con.
duct some sort of childrens Christ
mas festival He wanted something
original for the occasion, so he wrote
'Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht." Then
he took his verses to the organist who
ofTiciated at his church, and asked
him to compose a tune that would fit
The organist, dreamy old man. com
posed the immortal tune offhand, and
then played it on the organ. The
priest pronounced it grand-litt'e real
izing how grand it was. The Children
were drilled for days togethcr, and
when the Christmas festival opened
an enormous crowd was present The
hymn was sung, and after Il . last
notes died away the great audience
sat perfectly silent for 3 time. The
Germans are born music lovers, and
the new hymn touched every heart to
its profoundest depths. AT last there

FIRST PRIEST IN new YORK
FATHER JoGUES THE FIRST TO
EXERCISE HIS MINISTRY ON
MANHATTAN ISLAND.

The story of the first visit of a
Catholic priest to the island OF Man
haitian is told most interestingly by
William Harper Bennett in his "Catho-
lie Footsteps in Old New York"
in 1913, it was only seventeen
years after the purchase of the island
from the Indians when sloop from
Rensselaerswick, now Albany, landed
at the wharf a bent, broken figure OF
a man whom the kindly Dutch minis
ter, Dominic Megappolensis, conducted
into the presence of the Governor.
"A strange pair they made, the port
ly minister in his clerical black, and,
leaning upon his arm, the bent, broken
figure in rags, partly Indian and partly
European, that barely covered him.
Dominic Megappolensis presented
the strange visitor as Father Isaac
Jogues, Jesuit priest of New France,
who had been captured and cruelty
tortured by the Mohawk Indians, ran
somed by the good burgesses of Rens-
selaerswick and had, at the Cover
nor's command, been escorted by the
minister and burgesses to New Am
sterdam, there to await the sailing of
a ship to France.
mo visitor to our city has ever re-
ceived a kinder welcome than was ac-
corded the martyr priest by the Cal
whist Dutch of New Amsterdam. His
haggard countenance, drawn and
scanned, his manned hands, his evil
dent spirituality and the pathetic story
of his sufferings, evoked the deepest
sympathy of the people.
AS he was leaving the fort one day
young man, employed by merchant
of the town, ran to him, fell upon his
knees, seized the mutilated hands,
kissed them and, with tears stream
ing from his eyes, exclaimed: Martyr
of Jesus Christ! Martyr of Jesus
Christi The humble priest, confused
and embarrassed by the demonstration,
embraced him affectionately and, in
quiring if he was Calvinist, was told
he was a Polish Lutheran.
Passing a house near the fort he
glanced in at the open door and was
astonished to see on the chimney-piece
pictures of Our Lady and st. Aloysius
Gonzaga. He learned upon inquiry
that the mistress of the house was
the Portuguese Catholic wife of an en-
sign of the garrison, but, unfortunate
ly, she knew no language with which
Father Jogues was familiar 1t was
great joy to his heart, one day. to

and finally induce them to prefer the
easy ways of the lodge to the stricter
duties of Christian life (4) Because
men of easy morals are too often
made high priests, worshipful masters
and grand commanders in these socie.
ties, to the detriment of virtuous com
partnership on the part of the mem.

churches know, to their sorrow, the
lodges empty churches and while of
fering men some mutual temporal adj
vantage, deprive them of those divine
sacramento helps and graces which
Jesus Christ instituted to assist men
in keeping the commandments and
gaining eternal happiness.

THE ANGELUs
INSTITUTED BY POPE JOHN xxi
IN THE FOURTEENTH CENTURY.

In the commencement of the 14th
century, Pope John XXI, justly
alarmed at the conquest of the Mus
sulmans, instituted prayer to the
Virgin Mary called the Angelus. This
prayer, for which was chosen the
most delightful hour of that day, that
of sunset, was repeated through
of the curfew bell. Everyone then re.
cited three Hail Marys" for the sue.
cess of the Christian arms and prayed
to the Blessed Virgin for union and
peace and prosperity in all Kingdoms
protesting the true faith
Louis XI, in 1475, instituted the
Angelus, such as is now practised
among us, in honor of the Mystery OF
the Incarnation, and expressed his de-
sire that besides the evening prayer,
which was said for the general peace
of Christian States, a special prayer
at noon should be offered for the tran.
guilty of his kingdom. The ordinance
was executed with great exactitude, a
proof that the devotion to the Blessed
Virgin had been fondly cherished at
that time.
In the 18th century, at the first toll
of the Angelus, there was not a
Frenchman, whether in his house or
in the streets, or in the fields or on
the road, who did not Immediately

EXCELLENCE Of THE
CATHOLIC BIBLE
WHAT 1.-THE CHURCH TIMES" THE
MOST INFLUENTIAL OF ANGLI-
CAN WEEKLlEs, THINKS OF 1T.
written Specially for The Catholic
Bulletin.)

Along with the growing acceptance
by many learned Anglicans of the his
tory of the Catholic Church in Eng
land as it is written and presented by
Catholic historians is to be noted a
considerable and desirable change in
the attitude of such Anglicans to the
Catholic version of the Holy Scrip
lures. In recent issue of "The
Church Times" the most influential
and widely circulated of the Anglican
weeklies published in England, the
Catholic Bible in English is charac-
terized as lone of the great historic
renderings of the whole Bible" The
word whole" in such connection is
very significant, for it means as used
by the Anglican writer that the Catho-
lie Bible, including as it does the
Apocrypha, is the complete Bible. This
writer goes on to say that made con-
scientiously from the Latin Vulgate,
as the authorized text of the Western
Church, it follows in respect of the
New Testament better critical text
than that of Erasmus and Stephens
which the English translators of the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries
used, and any objection which might
be raised against the Catholic Bible
as rendering of rendering is multi
fed so this Anglican writer con-
tinues, "by the care with which the
translators collated the Greek editions
I'm IN fhnVro tfn1
in simpler words, this writer says that
the translators Of the Catholic Bible
not only rendered the Vulgate, or
Latin Bible, but compared their rem
dering with the best Greek manu-
scripts known to them. They there
fore exercised every reasonable care.
Nor, again to use this writer's words,
were they worse off than those who
went straight to merely traditional
Hebrew text in translating the
greater part of the Old Testament. In
their translation, this Anglican writer
concludes, they were sometimes ex-
traordinariIy felicitous, and the (Prot-
estant) revisers of 1911 owed more to
them than they were willing to
acknowledge" 1t is pleasing that such
confession should now be publicly
made, and that such Protestant tes-
timony to the excellence of the Catho-
lie Bible is not now uncommon may,
let us hope, prove happy augury in
that it may lead more and more of
devout Anglicans and others to find
their true home in the Catholic Church
which gave the world the whole, or
Catholic, Bible.

was such tumult of applause that
the building trembled. Then the
''kinderchor" had to sing the hymn
again, and yet again, and over and
over, and the rest of the program
was forgotten. The hymn travelled all
over the world with a speed never
yet attained by a ragtime song, and
now it is the supreme Christmas clas-
sic in dozen countries. Meanwhile
the writer and composer went on do
ing their work in their humble way,
and both died in obscurity and COM
parative poverty. The hymn has been
wrongfully credited to different people,
and only recently was it's true history
traced back and definitely established.
