Without being a prophet, or the
son Of a prophet, it is permissible
at the dawn Of a new year to cast
ones gaze forward and to peer
into the future. The past year
has left many problems unsolved,
and has departed on its way with
the world still in the throes Of in
tcrnational turmoil. Various eff

and research. He knew his relig-
ion as few laymen know it, and
was able to explain and defend it
when occasion required. With
him to know what was right, was
to do it. He practiced his re-

viction. To him the Blessed Sac
rament was the all in all, and the
daily reception Of Holy Com

real JOY that made life worth liv-

and villages. These monuments
as a rule attest the piety Of the
Catholics Of medieval times. As
a general rule, however, they rep
resent the deep-set. devotion Of
kings, mobiles, and the Weather
classes. "A vast number Of these
churches were erected as testi-
monials or votive offerings on the
part of rich and powerful famil-
les. The people usually possessed
but little, and hence were not able
to contribute largely to all these
works. Their generosity, how
ever, was always in keeping with
their means.

five decades. The Rosary finished, he
began a lively chat with the Brother,
incidentally informing him, modestly,
that he seldom let a day. pass without
saying his beads, which he always car
ried in his vest pocket.
Residents of Washington, d. c., can
recount many edifying traits in the
conduct of Catholic public men during
their careers in the National Capital.
Two or three instances came under
my own personal observation. On a
first Friday morning, going to early
Mass at old st. Matthew's, corner of
Fifteenth and Fl streets, northwest,
the Brothers of our community met
the late Senator Herman, Of New York,
helping a poor negro boy, at the cor
ner of Fifteenth and | streets, to
gather up large bundle of wood
which he had let fall, and then kindly
helping him on with it, tying it to his
shoulders This done, the Senator
quietly proceeded to st. Matthew'S tC
hear Mass and receive Holy Com
munion.

people at large. The building Of
church entails an immense
amount Of labor on the part of the
pastor and many sacrifices on the
part Of the people. 1t is necessary
to resort to every lawful means
within his power in order to gath
err together sufficient funds for the
erection Of suitable house of
worship. For this reason it is con-
sidered an event when a Catholic
Church is entirely free from debt
and is consecrated. Both priests
and people in our country today
deserve much more credit than
ever is given for the efforts which
they put forth to prepare a fit
dwelling place for the Lord God.
The duty OF every Catholic is to
do his share and contribute as
much as his means will allow in
order to further the great work
Of building churches.

SELFISHNESS.

There is a trait in human ma
ture that springs from the root of
egotism, and it is that of selfish
ness. 1t is a quality peculiar to
small minds, and it finds ready
Judgment in the heart Of the
proud. This quality which causes
a man to ever revolve about his
individual good is destructive of
the charity which is indicative OF
Christianity. A selfish man osten-
sibly is anxious about the welfare
Of others but only in so much as
it may possibly favor his own adj
vancement. The charity preach
ed by Christ is twisted and dis
torted until it fits the egotistic
ends which the selfish man has in
view. Frequently this vice is
found masked under the veil of
religion, and then it uses religion
itself as a mere tool for personal
acquisitions.
A nation is but an individual
operating on a larger scale. Self
ishness as a national trait seeks
the progress and enjoyment OF
national power and resources at
the expense Of other nations. II
commercial interests are in jeop-
ardy, or if national prominence
is threatened, selfish leaders will
stop at the violation Of no law.
human or divine, in order to
build up it's own structure ON the
ruins Of smaller and less fortunate
neighbors.

THE PERPETUAL ROSARY
DOMINICAN SISTERS IN NEW JER-
SEY KEEP PERPETUAL VIGIL.

When the Dominican Sisters of the
Perpetual Rosary began their re-
ligious life in West Hoboken they had
little or nothing of material goods.
They depended entirely on the Provi-
dence Of God Who has since blessed
their foundation in an extraordinary
manner Today their monastery is
one of the largest in the country, and
it's gray stone walls have been an in
spiration to many a sightseer. The
Sisters live a strictly clustered life,
and the prayer Of the Rosary is offered
up day and night, without Interrupt
ton, before the Blessed Sacrament in
their chapel, where the statue of the
Queen Of the Holy Rosary. occupies a
fitting place. During the day and
through the silent vigil Of the night
members of the community pray for
their friends and benefactors,. for the
conversion of sinners and for the souls
Of the departed.

THE JANUARY INTENTION.

The general intention recommended
by His Holiness, Pope Benedict XIV,
for the members Of the League of the
Sacred Heart during~January is, The
Fulfillment of the Desires of Jesus.
The revelation Of the devotion to
the Sacred Heart, made by our Lord
to Blessed Margaret Mary Alacoque,
rule over the hearts-af all men, His
rule is a rule of love. He wishes that
every soul on earth should make Him
return of love for all that He has
done to mankind. "See this Heart,
that has loved men so much"
Surely our Lord has a right to de-
mand our love. AS our Creator and
our Redeemer He has given to us all
that we have in the natural and the
supernatural order. Every gift is
from Him and all that He asks in re-
turn is our love. Alas, how cold we
are and how Indifferent. And this
GOODNESS and indifference on the part
of men our Lord makes a new reason
for His appeal. Love me-" He says,
because | have loved you; love me,
because | am not loved"
Look out over the world and see
there the vast field for reparation.
Think of half the human race in the
bondage Of paganism; think of all
those that are outside Of the Catholic
Church, nearly five-siXths of the
people of the world; think of the bad
Catholics who will not live up to the
Faith that God has given them. On
account Of this sad neglect our Lord
bids us to love Him with greater
fervor and show our love by fulfilling
His desires.
We know how His heart longs for
the Communion of Reparation; we
have been told by the Holy Father
that He desires His friends to receive
Him frequently, and even daily, in the
Sacrament of the altar. Let us pray
during this month that all men may
give Him their hearts.

DR.. JOHN B. MURPHY
WHAT THIS GREAT SURGEON AC-
COMPLIsHED FOR GOOD OF
HUMANITY.

In the December Catholic World, DIR.
James J. Walsh writes Of the late DR..
John B. Murphy:
Few men have done more for char
ity in the best sense Of the word than
this American surgeon. He constant
ly operated, without remuneration, on
the poor, and many hours Of almost
every day of his life were devoted to
their SERVICE He made it a lifelong
rule never to accept fee from priests
or religious, and it has been we'll said
that mo man knows the number Of
bishops, priests and religious women
who were treated by him without
charge" One need but talk with
some of these clerical patients to real
ize how Whole-hearted was DR.. Muir
phys charity. He made them feel
that he was personally interested in
their case, and that he spared no
amount of time or trouble to give
them the best possible service.
No WONDER then, that honors came
to DR.. Murphy from all quarters, edu-
cational, professional, secular and &C.
clesiastical. The Pope made him a
Knight of st. Gregory, and just before
his death raised him to the position Of
Knight Commander with the Star.
The University Of Notre Dame con-
ferred on him the Laetare Medal, and
many other universities honored him
with their degrees. The University of
Illinois gave him it's LII. D., in 1905,
and the University of Sheffield, in
England, it's degree Of Master of Sci
ence, while Loyola University of Chi
cago conferred the degree of M. A.,
and the Catholic University gave its
LII. D., in 1915. Besides he was made
Fellow Of the Royal College of Sur
geons in England, a Life Member OF
the Societe de Chirurgie of Paris, as
we'll as of the Deutsche Gesellschaft
fur Chirurgie of Berlin. Since his
election in 1898 to be the Orator in
surgery of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION, scarcely a year had passed
in which some important distinction
from a medical society did not come
to him. He was the Honorary Presi-
dent of the Surgical Section Of a
series of International Medical Con-
crosses; the guest by invitation of the
British Medical Association, the Hon
orary President of the international
Surgical Congress, and President Of
the American Medical Association.

BETHLEHEM OF 1916
S n ERDS OF FLOCkS OF
SHEEP AND GOATS STILL KEEP
WATCH IN THE FIELDS.

Even today the keepers of the fiocks
of sheep and goats sit silently and
solemnly about in the fields, much as
the other shepherds were doing when,
more than 1900 years ago, the heaven
ly messengers appeared to announce
to them the birth of the Saviour, and
the star appeared bright in the heav-
ems to guide them to the sacred spot.
Neither place nor, people have I'M
dergone any startling change since
the Virgin Mary laid the Infant Jesus
to rest in the manger in the stable
in which, owing to the overcrowded
condition of the khan and rural inn,
they had been compelled to find
lodging. The conditions under which
they were forced to content them
selves with such meager accommoda-
lions are repeated each year with the
return of the Christmas season.
That the great convent of the Ma
