NEED OF RELIGION.

The question Of immortality is one
of paramount Importance, because it
carries with it incalcuable conse-
quences, writes Alfred Hermann, O.
F. NJ, in st. Anthony's Messenger If
am but handful of earth, or at most
a delicately constructed animal, des-
tined to spend few years on earth
and after that to pass awaythen
this present life and the pleasure and
comforts it offers, must be my high
est ambition, rather my only desire.
But il am more than perishable
matter, if in my mortal body there
dwells an immortal soul, then this
life Immediately assumes different
aspect; it must be considered as a
preparation for an hereafter of
eternal Duration, and everything be
comes valueless as soon as it ceases
to be conductive to that future life.
There is an essential difference be-
tween man and brute animals and
this difference lies in the very
capacity of spiritual, intellectual
operation. Now such activity re-
quires spiritual soul, that is, a
simple. indivisible substance, really
distinct from the body. If we analyze
the human body, we find that it con

CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS FROM
FATHER FA8ER.

Jesus Christ, yesterday and today
and the same, forever! These words
of st. Paul express at once the noblest
and the most delightful occupation of
our lives. To think, to speak, to write
perpetually of the grandeurs of the
Son Of God made Man for us-what
joy on earth is like it?
When we think of what we owe to
Him, and of the relation in which we
stand to Him!
Earth grows into heaven as we
come to live and breathe in the at
mosphere of the Incarnation.
Jesus makes Heaven wherever He
is, whether in the Stable of Bethle-
hem, the Tabernacle on the Catholic
Altar, or in the heart of the commu-
meant, just as He took the Beatifie
Vision with Him into Limbo when He
died, and turned the pensiye shadows
of the patriarchs' home into the full
glow Of Heaven

The Incarnation lies at the bottom
OF all sciences, and is their ultimate
explanation. 1t is the secret beauty
in all arts. 1t is the completeness OF
all true PHILOSOPHERS. It is the point
of arrival and departure to all his
tory.
The destinies of nations as well as
individuals group themselves around
it. 1t purifies all happiness and glori-
fies all sorrow.

their true life lies clustered in the
single mystery of the Incarnation.

I'm the beginning was the Word
and the Word was with God"
1t was wonderful life which the
Eternal Word led in the bosom of the
Father. 1t fascinates us as we try to
think of it! We can hardly leave, off
speaking of it! Yet behold He seeks
also a created home!, Deep in His
unfathomable wisdom there is some
thing which to our eyes looks like a
want on His part. 1t seems as if God
must go out of Himself, and summon
creatures up from nothing, and fall
upon their neck, and overwhelm them
with His love and SO find rest for
Himself!
In the fullness Of Ills freedom He
chooses to seek a home with His crea-
lures, ''His Own!"
The bosom of Mary was to be the
home Of the Word as the bosom of
the Father had been a home for Him,
realized and completed in unity of ma
ture. The materials which the Word
was to take for His created nature
were actually human, were hers, so
that the union between the Word and
the flesh should be more awful than
words can express.
So Mary is like one of those great
scientific truths whose full import we
never master except by long medita-
ton and by studying it's bearings on
a system, and then at last the fertility
and grandeur of the truth seem end
less.
In the fullness of time Mary looked
upon the Face of the Incarnate God
and adored face to face what she had
not ceased for one moment to adore
in the nine months she carried Him
hidden in her womb. And Joseph
draws near to the newborn Jesus that
he may adore before he commands.
Who shall dare to guess what Jesus
thought with His human thoughts as
He lay there for moment on the
ground before Mary and Joseph, be-
holding with His eyes the furnishings
of that Cave which He had chosen for
Himself?
He was busy worshipping, He was
busy redeeming; He was busy judging
all the world of men, past, present
and to come, at that moment. All
hearts of men lay in His Heart at that
hour. We, too, were there centred in
a little sphere of His loving knowl.
edge and His merciful consideration.

COLLECTIONS FOR JEWISH SUFFERERS : AT LOCAL CHURCHES Campaign for Relief Fund to Be Continued Until
 the Sum of S10,0OO
 Is Reached

The subscription list to the fund for the relief of Jewish sufferers from the war had reached a total in excess of $5000 last night, and the commit tees canvassing the business district yesterday found their work compara- lively easy.

 fund, and the S10,000 which the com mittee expects to raise in Birmingham, promises to be secured within the week.
 Morris Adler wired from New York yesterday that he would give $200 to
 the fund and a similar amount is re-
 ported from Ike Adler. Dr. Newfield
 reported $200 from a woman who
 wished that her name be withheld and scriptions were received yesterday .-fs| committee composed of Dr New field, Louis Pizitz, A. Leo Oberdorfer. Leo K.

 Study Club

Harold Bauer, the famous pianist some critics say the greatest piano artlst who has ever lived, will appear in recital, u,cer the auspices of the Music Study club, at the Jefferson theatre tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock
 An artist who never stoops to tickle the ears of the groundlings but who nevertheless pleases the schooled and un- schooled alike, is the way the London Daily Telegraph sums up a fiattering es- innate of Bauer. This great virtuoso has always been a favorite in London, which was his home early in his career, and his several London appearances each season are invariably deemed events of importance.
 Another point which the Telegraph em- the pianist's programmes are invariably out of the usual. Not 1t explains, that he has a weakness for discovering novel, ties in the ordinary sense of show pieces,
 but he has praisworthy way of allottins a place on his programmes to works fa-
 miliar in piano literature, but seldom of- fered by first-rank artists.

To Keep Skin in Fine
 Condition in Winter

It would be much better for the skin if little cream powder or rouge were used during the winter term. These things which clog the pores, tend to aid wind and weather in roughening and coarsening the skin. Ordinary mercol- ized wax will do more for the complex ion, and without encouraging the skin to chap, crack or become harsh and leathery It is the ideal application for the season, as it not only keeps tic pores clean but daily removes particles of scarf skin which have been spoiled by winds or temperature. By constant- ly keeping the complexion clear, white and soft. it does more toward perpetu- ating youthful countenance than any of the arts or artifices commonly em- ployed. One ounce of mercolized wax, obtainable at any drug store. will com pletely renovate the worst complexion. It is applied at night Ike cold cream and washed off in the morning
 To keep the skin from wrinkling. or to overcome such condition, there's nothing better than face bath made by dissolving 1 ounce of powdered sax olite in F pint witch hazel

HIGH SCHOOL TObE REBUILT AT ONCE
 STATES CRANF0R
Walker County School De- stroyed by Fire Friday. School to Be Continued
 as Usual

"You can't keep a good town down. said Captain Jack Cranford of Jas per, prominent Walker county bank CT. who was in Birmingham last night. Captain Cranford was at the Tutwiler and was accompanied by Mrs. Gran ford
 "The Walker County High school was totally destroyed by fire Friday night but before noon yesterday arrange ments had been made by the citizens of Jasper for the continuance of the school without the loss of day. School will be opened Monday morning as usual and will continue until new structure is built.
 Casper is just about the best place in Alabama anyway" said Cap tain Cranford "One thing I like about our city-notice I say city, not town -is that we can get into Birmingham wish less delay than almost any city in the state. Jasper has splendid rail = road facilities and that is one req son for the growth of the city in a busi- ness way.
 Jasper has within the past few years extended its jobbing and whole sale trade over a very wide area, due to the splendid railroad facilities pos sessed by our city. We are now com peting with both Birmingham and Memphis in the wholesale and job ping line and our business up the Northern Alabama and other short line railroads as well as our rural wagon trade Is making business in the Wal ker county metropolis thrive.'
 Captain Cranford did not care to dis cuss politics and he had nothing to say regarding the overwhelming de- feat which the bond issue received in his home county. He stated that coun- ty politics was becoming quite inter esting and he intimated that Walker would be there as usual in the matter of upsetting the dope of the state po- litical prognosticators. Captain Gran ford for several years has been men tioned as a possible candidate for gov ernor. but as usual he could not be drawn into discussion of politics last night

 THAT IS NOT EVERYTHING

J. C. Burns, 2209 Fourth avenue, is, as he says, a striking example of the ups and downs of life. A year ago he was a successful steeple jack making $1 an hour Now he is down to selling soap Tor a living, and he says even at that he is not making much of living
 Burns got a bad fall in Cocoa, Fla, January 1, 1915, which broke so many bones that he lost track of them. But among them were a few ribs, which did not heal properly, and this caused the backbone between the shoulders to decay. So they took him to d St. Louis hospital,

 President Denny answered this letter of Professor Losey under date of De- cember as follows:
 I am acknowledging your letter of December 6, in which you put into interrogative form certain matters concerning which you hau previously delivered yourself in the form of posi- tive affirmation. This letter l shall place on file with your letter of De- cember 3, together with a copy of my letter to you of December 6. Obviously there is no sound reason why there should be any further discussion of the matter with you"
 TEMPERAMENTALLY UNFITTED
 In his letter to Professor Losey, noti- flying him that he would not recom- mend for reappOntment President Denny wrote in part as follows:
 'l. I am convinced that you are tenn peramentally unfitted to discharge the duties of college professor. You have served as professor in two institutions ot earning-Syracuse university and the University of Ala bama. At Syracuse your career as I am reliably informed, was characterized by constant friction and ended in your enforced retirement from that institution. The incident of your retirement was followed if not accom- panied. by an attack made by you upon Chancellor Day, the executive head of the institution and minister whose high standing has been subsequently, attested by his practically unanimous election as bishop in the Methodist Episcopal church, Your criticisms were aimed not only at Chancellor Day. but also in large meas ure at other colleagues in the faculty or Syracuse university.
 At the University of Alabama your career has likewise been characterized by friction, not merely in your relation to individual students, but also in your re- lation to others who were entitled to your cooperation. As metter of fact. you have not stopped short of criticzing the head of your own department, man of recognized high character, whose motives you have impugned. Owing to your un-
