when the monasteries became a
dominant factor in the work of
charity. The middle ages were the
age of faith and light, and the
world owes its charity to the Cath
Ollie church. Father Keller declared
st. Vincent de Paul was the great
est worker in the field of charity
the world has ever known. He also
feelingly referred to the Sisters of
the Good Shepherd and the Little
Sisters of the Poor, who look after
the poor and needy of all classes.
In concluding he commended the
st. Vincent de Paul Society as the
greatest of its kind existing in the
world today.
Father O'Donohoe congratulated
the Vincentians on the large attend
ance and their obtaining the special
indulgence. He urged his hearers
to preserve the spirit of the society
and be present at the quarterly
meetings. With the closing prayer
the meeting adjourned, all feeling
they had been well repaid for the
time given for the cause of charity.
Rev. Father Thome and Rev. Father
Deepen gave encouragement by
their presence and were warmly
greeted on all sides.

CHRISTMAS MESSAGE.

There have been many and fine
Christmas messages from cleric and
laymen, but none that breathe a
more Christian and brotherly spirit
than the following, by Cardinal
Gibbons:
Today the whole Christian world
prostrates itself in alteration around
the crib of Bethlehem and rehearses
in accents of love a history which
precedes all time and will endure
throughout eternity. If asked to
explain the rapturous influence
which controls us we have no other
words than the evangel of joy
which the angel gave unto earth,
For this day is born unto you a
Saviour, who is Christ the Lord. Z"
The blessings resulting from our
Christian civilization are poured
out so regularly and abundantly on
the intellectual, moral and social
world, like the sunlight and the
air of heaven and the fruits of the
earth, that they have ceased to ex-
cite any surprise except to those
who visit lands where the religion
OF Christ is little known.
Before the advent of Christ the
whole world, with the exception OF
the secluded Roman province OF
Palestine, was buried in idolatry.
Men worshiped the sun and moon
and stars of heaven. They wor-
shipped everything except God only
10 whom alone divine homage is
due. Christ, the Light OF the
World, proclaimed unto all nfen in
its fullness the truth which had
hitherto been hidden in Judea. He
taught mankind to know the one
true God, God existing from
eternity unto eternity, God who
created all things by his wisdom
and whose experimenting prov
idence watches over the affairs OF
nations as well as of men-"with-
out whom not even sparrow. falls
to the ground.
The message of Christmas day If
| Intended for all men, for all times
for all conditions of existence. Only
by stern adhesion to the principles
therein contained can individuals
and nations hope to share in thai
peace which has been promised Il
men of good will. To violate then
is to reverse the order established

At the annual election of officers
of Division A, A. O., H., held Mon
day evening in Bertrand Hall,
Thomas Lynch, who had served as
Vice President of the division for
pretty nearly twenty years, was
elected to succeed President John
H. Hennessy, who had been at the
head for about the same length of
time, but declined to stand for re-
election this time on account of his
recent election as County President.
A large attendance of members was
present and short talks were made
by several, the consensus of opinion
being that the outlook for the di-
vision and the order was very
bright. State President w. j. Con-
nelly complimented the division on

do not lead to heaven a lot of peo-
pie are going to get the shock of
their careers when they kick the
bucket.
The Menace and its followers are
on the wrong track and going in
the wrong direction. Fortunately,
however, they constitute a very
small minority of Professionals Only
the riff raft, the cheap, petty, dog
matte, ignorant followers of
Professionalism give way to wild,
unreasoning prejudice. The sooner
these people realize that a church
that can prosper only by the de-
struction of a rival is doomed to
failure, the better it will. be for
true religion. There are so many
persons in the United States who
are not Christians-the field for
Protestant conversions is so large
that it is ridiculous for them to
try and win converts to Love by
appealing to Hatred.
Instead of fighting among them
selves the religious bodies should
get together if they want to per-
petuate Christianity. A majority
of the population of the United
States is non-religious. Some are
free thinkers, agnostics, skeptics
and atheists, made so by the bick-
ering and scrapping, intolerance
and hypocrisy of orthodox creeds.
The spectacle of Christians falling
out over matters of theology and
politics. over Scriptural interpreta-
tions and civil rights, instead of
combining in one solid battle front
to wage war on the Demons of pow
erty, vice, crime, disease and ignor-
ance has turned millions from re-
ligion and will turn millions more
unless the unclean hounds of dis
cord like the Menace and Tom
Watson are sent yelping to their
kennels by the decent followers of
Christ.

POPE's EFFORTS FOR PEACE

Despite the clustering denials
of the English press the sentiment
prevails that the end of the Euro
pean war is in sight, and the sug-
gestion of peace made by Germany
was foreshadowed by the conference
between His Holiness and Cardinal
Francis Bourne, Archbishop of
Westminster, last Saturday Follow
ing that conference Cardinal Bourne
visited Count de Sails, the new
British Minister to the Holy See.
Although the greatest reserve was
maintained by all concerned the
suggestion is made that Cardinal
Bourne might have been Instructed
to sound the members of the newly
organized British Cabinet, with
whom he is on excellent relations.
Just a few days after this confer
ence the German suggestion for
peace is given to the world and
transmitted through the Vatican.
That the warning powers are at a
deadlock in the present struggle
is shown by the stories of the diff
ferent American correspondents
among them being william Bayard

President Wilson tells of the futile
struggle and waste of lives now go.

Many Conferences Have New
Members Aggregated Into
the Society.
Rev. Father Keller POrtrays
Beautiful Picture of Catholic
Charity.
FATHER DONOHOE ALSO SPEAKS

The chief event of the year in
the circle of the st. Vincent de
Paul Societies was the annual meet
ing, at which the reports for the
past year were made by the many
parish conferences, also the COM
mittees on special works at the
Juvenile Court, hospitals, SANTA
RUINS, Jail, alms-house and other
public institutions. The meeting
was held Sunday afternoon at the
knights of Columbus Hall, where
all the seats were taken and many
were compelled to stand. President
John A. Doyle occupied the chair
and the speakers of the evening
were Rev. Francis Keller, assistant
pastor of st. Vincent de Paul's
church, and the Spiritual Director,
Rev. Eugene Donohoe, pastor of St.
Paul's church.
When President Doyle raped for
order the Rev. Father Donohoe Of
fered the opening prayer. Nearly
all the conferences reported that
their membership had attended
mass in a body and received holy
communion, some combining with
the Holy Name Society of their par
ishes. After new members of the
various conferences had been ag-
gregated into the society of the
world the special committees pre-
sented their reports, showing ac-
tivity and excellent work upon the
part of all The City Hospital,
Aims House, Work House, Colored
Hospital. Parental Home and School
of Reform were visited regularly,
and at present the class at the lat
ter was the smallest since that
committee had been going there.
| Several of the committees asked
that their number be increased in
order to facilitate their work,
which was greatly appreciated by
the poor and unfortunate.
Secretary Thomas Bohan read the
annual report, showing that in
Louisville there were twenty-one
conferences with a membership OF
1898 which is being steadily in
creased During the year $1,000
had been expended for relief of the
poor of the city, the total expense
which included postage. printing
stationery, ETC., being only $37. This
shows the effective charity work OF
the Vincentians The visits of the
various relief committees totaled
2,S05, and included 413 families
and assistance for 1850 needy per-
sons. This report was evidence thai
the followers of st. Vincent de Pau
were earnest in visiting the poor
bringing relief and encouragement
and that their hearts were in this
work.
4 President Doyle announced thai
1t was his intention to meet with
all the conferences. urging them Il
make interchange visits, whicn he
believed would prove interesting
and beneficial. He then introduced
the Rev. Francis Keller as one who
was very close to st. Vincent de
Paul
Father Keller. who is an eloquent
and forceful pulpit speaker, began
