THE OTHER SHEEP.

Once upon a time the Saviour
was speaking to His Apostles. He
reminded them that they were not
the only ones called to the true
faith. He said that there were
other sheep to be gathered into
the fold, and he commissioned the
Apostles to be the official shep-
herds in this work. The Jealous
twelve went forth, and their la
bors brought countless numbers
into the. secure enclosure of the
true fold. Down the ages the zeal
and activity of apostles III every
land have succeeded in adding to
the flock ever-increasing numbers.
From time to time ravenous
wolves made incursions into the
fold and carried off lambs and
sheep. New lands were explored
and the denizens of benighted
heather countries heard the call
and hurried towards the Great
Fold. At the present day mis-
sionary effort is e&erting itself in
spite of war and the devil in pro-
claiming far and wide the mes
sage of salvation.
During the month Of january
the Church Unity Octave is cele-
.brated. 1t begins on the Feast of
st. Peters Chair, January Is, and
ends on the Feast of the CONVEX
sion of st. Paul, January 25. The
object Of this universal outpour-
ing of prayer and supplication is
that the "other Sheep may hear
and harken to the call of Christ.
"A part of the gratitude which
Catholics owe to God for the gift
of the True Faith consists in en-
deayoring to extend the same
blessing to those who arc still
without the fold. Argument at
times may provoke opposition /;
zeal may be misunderstood; but
prayer reaches straight up to the
throne of God as a powerful plea
to shed the light of faith upon
the hearts Of unbelievers. 1t is
the duty of every Catholic to pray
fervently to this end that all may
see the light and may follow it :
that the kingdom Of Christ may
be extended, and the Great Fold
filled to overfowingN with the
other sheep that shall have been
gathered in.

Messenger. He paraphrases the
usual expression, Some Of my

earned money of the Gentiles, are
transformed to illustrate the

He comedies to the Gentiles the

in a concessive way concede to

TROTZKY IN AMERICA
RUssIA's FOREIGN MINISTER
MARRIED A CATHOLIC GIRL
WHILE WORKING AS BOOK
BINDER IN PITTSBURG.

Nine years ago Leon Trotzky, the
present Foreign Minister of Russia,
was a bookbinder in book shop on
Federal street, n. S., Pittsburg, Pa,
says the Observer" of that city.
His principal ambition in those
days, according to Pittsburgers, who
remember him, was to insinuate him
self into Slavic circles. He was then
going by his real name, Braunstein.
He was not received into any of the
Slayonic organizations, however. AS
"a Polish Jew he was ineligible to
membership.
Il remember Trotzky--he was
Braunstein then-quite well,' z. Kos
telski, editor Of the Croatian Herald, 2
Pittsburg, said a few days ago. HE
used to work in the old Federal Book
Binding Company, in Federal street.
He was a lonely, homeless chap, for
ever wandering about the country, a
real man without country.
''He tried to join several of the
Croatian societies, but they would not
admit him because of his race. The
men in the shop he worked in only
knew him to nod to. His only friend,
seemingly, was Rev. DR.. Laus, pastor
of the St. Nicholas Croatian Catholic
Church, Ohio street"
Trotzky spent two or three years in
Pittsburg, working at bookbinding and
soliciting advertising for foreign Ian
guage papers. Eventually he became
acquainted with a Russian girl, to
whom Father Laus married him.
A short time later Trotzky left
Pittsburg with his bride, for New
York. Father Laus died, and as far
as anyone can remember, Trotzky
never came back here.
1t was in New York evidently that
he adopted the more Slavic name Of
Trotzky, and became connected with
the radical Russian circle of ex-
patriates. There he was a reporter for
a Russian paper, eking out his living
at precarious times in the newspaper
business by serving as a waiter in the
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.
He returned to Russia in 1916.

really insult tile Jew, the Irish
man, the Italian, or the Catholic
or the Protestant, when we at
tempt to fiatter him or ourselves
by allowing that some Of our best
friends are Irish or German, or
Protestant or Catholic, or that in
dividuals Of his race or religion
are good to their families, honest
or upright. 1t is better more
American-to measure the indi-
vidual, than to put him in a racial
or religious class and treat him
as one not of us.
This man Glass, who has given
us the most characteristic stories
of the Jew in trade, and who has
made success of it, is entitled
to read this lesson to the Gentiles.

PLAYING THE GAME.

In a popular story we are told
that Julia complained because
things did not turn out as she
desired. She resolves to complain
no more. Il am going to pretend
that all life is just a game which
| must play as skillfully and fair
ly as | can. If | lose, [ am going
to shrug my shoulders and laugh ;
also if | win. =
The English have an expression
which contains a whole philoso-
ply of life: Play the game. 1t
means that every individual
player in a contest must show all
the highest qualities Of courage,
determination, honesty, grit and
fairness. Victory may bring Ella
ton, but defeat never can depress
the man who ''Splays the game. !"
Shakespeare calls life the stage on
which each ones act is played.
Life is also a game. 1t is con-
test, not so much for triumph
over others as for mastery of
one S own resources and of victory
over one s weakness.
Some there are who engage in
the game of life better equipped
than others. They possess an edu-
Gated mind, trained will, and the
guiding principles of Christianity.
They enter the lists Of life deter
mined to win over their greatest
enemies: Sin and their own weak
ness. Their standard is borne
aloft and futters gai4y before
every breeze; they endeayor to
advance under the guidance of
the twin stars, honesty and JUS
|'tlce. Their thoughts and motives
are permeated and actuated by a
spirit which permits them to give
to every man an absolutely
square deal.'' If advantage to
themselves can be gained by fair
means they will not hesitate to
avail themselves Of the oppor-
Itunity. When victory perches
upon their banner they are
I1nodestly content when defeat
lowers that standard they are
calmly resigned. In every case
truth and justice guide them ever,
purifying their conduct. and
maintaining their equilibrium. In
every sphere Of life they play the
game, and play it fairly.
Athletic contests frequently
present player who endeavors
to elude the rules. His ambition
IS to win by fair means or foul.
Principle and honor have no part
whatsoever in his plans. Victory
gained by dishonesty exalts him

A WAR REFLECTION.
RELIGION OF NoN-cATHoLIC SOL
DlERS-MANY ARE SHOWING
INTEREST IN CATHOLICISM.

A few days ago / had CONVEX
sation with young officer who was
just about to leave for the western
front, says writer in the London
Catholic Times. He had during and
after his training come into contact
with great number of young men
of the same OF nearly the same age
as himself. AS he is an earnest
Catholic I asked him what was his
experience with regard to their re-
ligious tenets.
my experience" said he, lis that
religion does not enter into their
lives. They have simply put it aside.
I found that, as rule, there is but
slight acquaintance with religion.
A few indeed-it may be university
men-will tell you that they have
examined all religions and have not
found any one to satisfy them, but,
speaking generally, you do not dis
cover any deep knowledge of religion
amongst the non-Catholics. Some
times you are surprised to meet with
almost blank ignorance of it. AS
have said, it does not enter into their
life plans. And yet it is strange how
keenly interested they are in the
Catholic Church. They ask you all
sorts of questions about it,
IF religion does not enter into
their lives, how do they stand with
respect to morality?" I enquired.
Well he replied, many of them
are splendid fellows. They have high
ideals according to their lights. AS
to the principles of honor they are
strict, but morality as it is binding on
us they do not understand. They can
not be said to grasp the obligations
of the Christian" Then | said to my
self that great opportunity presents
itself to Catholics, and they are face
to face with pressing duty.

CHARITY In WAR
SPEAKER ADVISES AGAINST AP-
PLYING EPITHETS TO THOSE
WHO OPPOSE US.

\ Speaking ct the University of Min
nesota recently, Ray L. Shea is quoted
as follows:
Let's be fair. Hundreds of thou
sands of boys in our army and navy
are of German parentage. They are
fighting harder fight than are any
of US. From time to time, these boys
come home on furlough. If they are
to meet the word Hun on every
side, can you blame them for feeling
resentful? Can you wonder at their
showing that they are hurt, at this
evidence of a lack of appreciation on
our part?
Now for minute, let us go hack to
the years before the war In the
fields of music and art German indi-
viduals have made us their debtors.
Take Madame Schumann-Heink for in
stance. Through her wonderful sing
ing she has brought pleasure to every
corner of our country. She has done
much to raise the standard of music
on this side of the Atlantic. This
woman has two sons fighting for Uncle
Sam and one son in the Kaiser's sery-
ice. But she is every inch an Ameri-
can, if she does find it difficult to
say so in our language. Would you
call Madame Schumann-Heink a
Hum"
Lets not call people Huns" Our
doing so encourages a spirit that is
keeping from the government the sup
port it needs to equip and move its
armies, that is depriying our boys of
Red Cross aid, that is making the
problem of reimbursement a more COM
plicated one, that is making higher
taxation probable. and that marks us
as ignorant, malicious, and lacking in
appreciation.
In closing permit me again to quote
the President We have no quarrel
with the German people. We have no
feeling toward them but one Of SYM
pathy and friendship"
Drop an unkind word or careless in
minute it is gone,
But there's half a hundred ripples
circlin' on an on an on,
That keep spreadin spreadin' spread
