The play last night was certainly a
good beginning to prove his state

in this land, to Benedict, the pope
has never uttered a word of protest
so far as we know-even though
those crimes shocked civilization and
shamed humanity.
"On the other hand Benedict did
not remain silent when his voice and
his pen, by urging premature peace,
effectually aided the arch-criminal of
humanity and Christianity. On the
pretense that he wanted peace-whC
does not want peace?--a message
was sent forth so clearly inspired by
the Hapsburgs, that blood stained
ruling house Of Austria; so decided
ly prejudicial to civilization, that it
brought forth a stunning rebuke
from no less man than the great
President of the United States, Wood
row Wilson. And on this Christmas
eve, the holy father once more
emerged from; his clustered halls to
send new message to the Ameri'
can people. Cordial Greetings says
the holy father. And he 'prays that
they (the American people) may take
to heart in this time of strife and
suffering the true lesson of Christ
mas-tide-the lesson of Gods inces-
SAINT love for mankind; the lesson Of
unfaltering courage and sacrifice of
self. More especially he calls upon
the little children to whom this day
belongs, to pray with all their hearts
to the Babe Of Bethlehem that he
may protect their loved ones and give
back to the world that peace which
I he came to bring upon the earth
