Conforming Prayers of Hate'

From the Literary Digest.
 Nothing better indicates the un-Chris- tan character of the present European conflict, says the editor of America, than certain passages found in book written by a Catholic to furnish "medita- ton and spiritual reading suitable both for those at home and those at the front The passage-part of a prayer-quoted by America from The War and Life" runs as follows:
 My God, when think of the enemies Of my country, I am possessed by feeling of the deepest hate They do not kill in order to conquer, but for the pleas ure of killing. My God, how can it be Thy will that resist the horror which assails me, and that I shall not hate these infamous people with all my heart?"
 Whereon the editor of the Catholic weekly observes:
 Without question, the ideals of ths medieval warrior who fought like a gentleman and prayed like a monk are becoming obsolete. However respon- s1ble the rulers and statesmen of Eu- rope may be for this war, the soldiers who are actually engaged In it are con- scientiously fighting for their homes and country. Surely. the Frenchman loves France no less than his foe L.ves Ger many, and both are equally ready to make every lawful sacrifice to protect and defend what they hold so dear Both may pray that victory may attend their country's arms, but a person who de- liherately asks God for the grace to hate these infamous people with ell my heart is not offering Christians prayer at all. Rather he is seriously violating the new commandment our Saviour gave in His sermon on the Mount and is mocking the holiness of God himself"

 During the past two weeks Broadway has been an electrical fairy land. Christ mas decorations of this character cost the merchants and amusement people thousands of dollars, but the results were startling, and Old Olba Via fairly out shine itself.
 Some of the great department stores. 12 stories or more in height, were an all most solid mass of electric bulbs on one smaller displays and many designs that were unique and altogether attractive. Some people are going back home after the holidays with an even exaggerated idea of Broadways glow, if such thing be possible.
 But let's go inside for awhile. Do you realize that this is January 1, 1916? Happy new year. Within the better restaurants and hotels of New York city last night the scenes defy accur- ate description War? High cost of liv- ing? Tut, tut-this is Manhattan, and last night was New Years eve. Ten dollars looked very diminutive to the head walters. and there seemed to be no hesitancy whatever on the part of many patrons to denote that sum, or an even greater amount, in order to procure nothing more than a table at which to sit down and eat food for Which more money had to be paid out.
