To those who love old customs; to
those who tenderly and reverently love
the old books and manuscripts OF the
Christian era, the writing Of Xmas IS
not meaningless. There was a time in
our history when il was written not
from haste, but with a cross in place
of the y. because the cross was holier
and dearer and more beautiful than any
written word: and today there are
many 10 whom the older form is IN
finitely dearer because OF its deeper
meaning. They merely substitute the
modern Y for the cross
Let US not be critical if any, perforce,
must write the word in haste. Let US
remember that the Lord lived among
busy people, and that He loved and IN

that after so years Of work, the wall
was only 200 feet above ground, al.

stones of the Aztec temple as their
foundation. Two hundred years werd
necessary to complete the sacristy and

feet long; with height of 179 feet, not
counting the tower, which measures
240 feet. It's magnificence Of altar
furnishings, with lamp before the
sanctuary reputed to have cost $780,.

Here are buried the remains of Itur-

also the head of the good padre,
Hidalgo, who. in his own far away
province, first rung his church bell to
summon the people to overthrow
Spanish rule In Mexico. Not always
did this skull rest In the bosom OF
the church, for when Hidalgo was
killed battling for liberty, the Span
iards hung his head on iron hooks,
still to be seen, on the prison walls
at Guanajuata.
