VENETIAN RECORDS
PRICELESS HISTORIC DOCUMENTS
ARE TREASURED IN FA- !.
NOUS CITY.

Americans nave more than a mere
artistic interest in the preservation of
Venice from the barbarous destruction
the Germans have wreaked during the
last three years upon so many Belgian,
French, Russian and Roumanian cities
and towns, for in the monastic build
ings attached to the Church of the
Frari are preserved the priceless doc
umentary records of Venice, which are
assuredly too voluminous to have adj
mitted of their removal to Rome.
These archives contain data of the
most wonderful value concerning the
earliest explorations of the American
coasts, of the early settlements on the
shores of New England, which We
netian agents in the various western
seaports of Continental Europe and
England obtained from navigators.
They extend to the end of the eigh-
teenth century; and among them has
been found a letter signed by Benja-
min Franklin, Adams and Jefferson,
which in 1855 was addressed to the
Venetian ambassadors at Paris with a
view to the recognition of the United
States by the republic of Venice.

sChristmas season. Governments
often lent official recognition to
these performances, and added the
civic touch to the celebration
which made it distinctly national.
In recent years there has been
a re-awakening to the artistic and
aesthetic beauty Of the Christmas
spirit, as well as. to the glory of it's
religious significance. Not few
cities, both in this country and
abroad, have presented in a devout
and reverent manner various fea-
lures that bring one back to the
fervent faith and the real Christ
mas spirit of the middle ages.
Nativity plays, community sing
ing, public pageants, have sue
ceeded IN arousing among our peo-
pie the old spirit of love and char
|lty which is the predominant note
during the Christmas season.
The idea at the back of this
civic Christmas celebration is most
excellent. During the past three
years, owing to the initiative of
the st. Paul Institute, st. Paul
seems to have taken the lead in
the celebration of city-wide com
immunity Christmas. The object has
been to, make the celebration so
wide and general as to appeal
strongly to all citizens irrespective
OF creed or belief. Our Catholic
people should be especially inter
ested in this laudable enterprise
We exhort them to enter into the
beautiful spirit Of the season with
all the zest and enthusiasm which
such an occasion demands. The
members of the st. Paul institute
who have given so generously oil
their time and talents to make this
IcelebratlOn a success, deserve
nothing but the highest praise fol
their zeal and civic intelligence
We trust that our Catholic people
will unite with their fellow citi
zens IN such large numbers as tt
make st. Paul known Throughout
the nation as in every sense thu

CHRISTMAS GIFTS.

| 4
In the universal custom Of dis
tributing gifts, in extravaganza
and show, in the cultivation and
encouragement Of vanity and self
|conceit, there is danger Of the true
Christmas spirit being lost. The
real spirit of Christmas, its heart,
core and inner life, is lovelove
which vaunteth not itself, " In
honor preferring another, and lis
kind. = 1t was natural, in the OBJ
|servance Of this day, that the Civ
ing of gifts should be adopted as
the method of expression of love
for one another and thankfulness
to God. But the simple old custom
has become burden, laments an
exchange. The meat has become
more than life and the body more
than the spirit.
1t is not the most expensive gift
THAT makes the heart thrill. 1t is
the one which speaks of love and
affection, true, tried and sincere;
|such a gift is Invaluable, no mat
ter how little money it may have
cost. When we do our best for
|love's sake, we wrongly estimate

A CHICAGO BENEDlCTINE
is CHAPLAIN OF FORCES WHICH
CAPTURED THE "HOLY CITY,
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

To man who was reared in Chi
cago and who spent last summer
there fell the honor of being the chap
lain of the forces which have just en-
tered Jerusalem, according to dis
patches received last week. He is Rev.
William Raphael Ludford, Order of
st. Benedict; and he is the chaplain
of the first Christian army to enter the
Holy City in centuries. Father Lud-
fords father and mother are Mr.. and
Mrs. William Ludford, % Bellevue
place, and with them lives his sister
Lillian.
The recovery of Jerusalem, as his
tory shows, was the object of the CRU
saders, who battled and died to re-
conquer it for Christianity for cen
turtles. 1t is an interesting coincidence
that many of the preachers of the Cru
sades were Benedictines. Thus, it
appears, the same order to which this
young Chicago priest belongs was bat
thing the same foes nearly 700 years
ago.
Father Ludford, when boy, attend.
ed st. Mary Academy in Chicago. He
went abroad to be educated and for
six years he was vicar general of the
Cathedral at Port Louis, the capital
of the island of Mauritius, an English
colony in the Indian ocean. Since the
beginning of war he has been attached
to the Egyptian expeditionary forces
as chaplain. Last spring he was sent
on a special mission to Russia and
Japan. His work done, he was granted
a furlough and spent July and August
with his people in Chicago. In Sep
TENDER he sailed to rejoin the army
in Egypt.
And that is how it comes that a
Chicago boy was the chaplain of the
forces which entered Jerusalem a
few days ago.

Jealous prelates and learned doc
tors have added their efforts to
those of the Holy See in order to
lead the Orientals to recognize the
supremacy which Christ willed to
the successors of st. Peter. At
times these efforts seemed about
to be crowned with success, only
to be dashed aside by Emperor or
heresiarch.
The interest which the Holy Fa-
Their is now taking in this great
problem of the ages will, we trust,
ultimately prove the occasion Of a
reunion Of the East and the West.
Political changes in Russia within
the past few months seem aus
Hpicious for this great work. The
loosening of the grasp which the
Holy Synod held upon the Russian
people may yet allow the in
habitants Of that vast realm the
opportunity which they have been
denied for centuries, namely, free
dom to choose their own form of
belief. In any case, this move
ment inaugurated by the Holy
Father seems destined to shed new
light through the encircling gloom
and darkness which have brooded
over the Orient for more than one
thousand years.

CHRIST WITH us.

The life of God is very happy:
it is very vast: it is replete with
infinite content. Unmeasured by
time, unrestrained by space, sub
ject to no change or restrictions,
lit consists in endless duration.
To that life Time is but mere
incident: the vicissitudes of time
are powerless to effect His infinite
bliss.
Since love, Of which God is the
infinite source, is essentially COM
municative, the Almighty God
alone in his beatitude determined
to call upon his omnipotent power
in order to satisfy the warnings
of his infinite love. He would
draw out of absolute nothingness
resplendent creatures to partici-
pate in and to partake Of the linn
itless JOY that was Gods. True
love never forces itself upon it's
object: hence he would endow
these creatures with freedom of
choice. They, the angels, realized
the heights of glory upon which
they had been placed. Some of
them, rebellious spirits, like will
full children, started out on an adj
venture. They would tempt God
by making a perverse use of their
free will. Instantly for their use
hell was created where they
might continue unendingly to en-
| joy the results Of their perverse
desires.
Again God essayed to draw 9th.
| er creatures from nothingness.
This new being was called man.
He possessed matter and form
body and soul. A new kind of
creation surrounded him with
every opportunity for satisfying
the legitimate desires Of his two
fold nature. Like the angel, man
foolishly abused his freedom
death was his portion, with a
train Of endless woes.
Man being the weaker of the
two was accorded the mercy de-
MED the stronger creature, the
angel. In order to ensure man s
fidelity God Almighty Himself
would come down in the midst OF
men, heal their sins with His
blood, seal their hearts with His
love. Greater love than this no
man can conceive than that God
should dwell in the midst Of His
creatures. The day upon which
this God emerged from the splen-
doris of divine light into the dark
ness of mortal life is a day sacred
to all mankind. 1t is Christmas.

or undervalue our friends il we
think they do not prize our gift
for the reason we give it. There
is much good in human nature
after all, and if it be true that a
gift with a kind countenance is a
double present, it becomes thrice
its value when bestowed with
loving heart. There is no greater
folly than giving for, the sake of
praise and display, since there is
always some one who can Guido us
in expenditure, and we suffer the
eclipse which we justly deserve.
The true spirit Of Christmas, as
we have said, is love; and the ex-
preston of our love should lot be
limited to our own little domestic
circle, or even to the wider circle
of our friends. On this day, of all
days, it should extend to the poor
to the inmates Of the various
asylums, to the homes and refugees
for the orphaned, the aged and the
outcast. No greater opportunity
is presented for the exercise of
the spirit Of love, than in con
tributing to the comfort and pleas
ure of the afflicted and unfortu-
nate ones, old and young, Of these
institutions, who are in a special
manner the chosen friends Of the
Infant Jesus.

The Catholics of this country, espe-
cially those who have sons in the
Army or Navy, are naturally inter
ested in the subject Of Catholic mill
tary chaplains. The knowledge that
a priest is attached to the regiment,
to which their son belongs, or that a
Knights of Columbus recreation build
ing, to which is assigned a post chap
lain, has been erected within the camp,
in which their son has been stationed,
is helping many a father and mother
to tide over these days of anxiety
In report, submitted to the Bishops
of the country, Rev. Lewis O'Hern,
G. S. r., who represents the hierarchy
in the matter Of chaplain appoint
ments, outlines conditions as they
exist at present, and also the hopes
of the future. He cites that, before
the declaration Of war, there we're six
teen Catholic chaplains allowed for
the Regular Army, and eight for the
Navy. Since the declaration of war,
this number has been increased, thirty
seven priests now serving as chap
lains in the Army and nineteen in the
Navy.
The National Guard has had but few
Catholic chaplains, this probably being
caused by reason Of the fact that these
appointments are largely honorary,
the chaplain Of the National Guard
regiment having little or no work to
do during time of peace, and also be;
cause National Guard chaplains were
chosen by the commanding officers Of
