WHAT SHALL GIVE HIM FOR
CHRISTMAS?

This question is more or less
source of worry to many persons
at this season of the year. In
some cases the answer is easy: in
others it taxes ones ingenuity to
arrive at a satisfactory solution.
There is one person, however,
who should not be forgotten at
this season. He is the missionary.
He once had a home like yours.
He was surrounded by luxury or
at least by the comforts Of life.
He had friends in large numbers.
He received suitable recompense
for his labors. For him Christmas
meant the giving and the receiv-
ing of gifts. He looked forward
to the great day even as you do.
His family, maybe his parishion-
ers, numbered him among those
who were to be given tokens of
gladness at this festal season.
Now all this is changed. He is
on a foreign strand. His COM
panions are poor Chinese, or jap
anese, or Indians, or any other of
the countless heather that God
has permitted to grow so album
dainty in the less favored spots
Of earth. He gives no Christmas
presents, for he possesses nothing.
Neither does he receive many pres
ents, for he is forgotten, except
mayhap by a few loving ones.
What is more, he desires nothing
for himself. But oh, how he
yearns at this time for ample
means wherewith to satisfy the
longings Of his great heart to.
wards those poor creatures whom
God has confded to his care. A
dollar, a few dollars, will mean sc
much to him. He will not take
this sum and go forth to purchase
choice gifts for friends, much less
for self. He will take your little
offering and will invest in rice, il
clothes, in medicine, in the abso
Lutte necessaries Of existence fol
the suffering beings who call hin
Father.
Can you not spare a little from
your abundance this year and sene
it to some struggling missionar,
who will invoke. a benediction OF
your charitable soulg Every pen
ny will 60 to the alienation o
misery among your companions il
the faith.
Mail your mite at once to tn
office Of this missionary's secre
tary and treasurer. The Office i
at 239 Selby Avenue, ST. Paul
just address it to the Propagation
Of the Faith at this office, and you
gift will speed Ger oceans an,

heart Of the poor missionary, an,

hearts beat warm for them, eve,
Though separated by many miles

THEATER CENSORS
MRS. QUINLAN APP Of ED
CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEE.

Several weeks ago the civics de-
partment of the Guild of Catholic
Women proposed to hold meeting
in the council chambers of the city
hall. The purpose of the assembly
was to discuss the promotion of good
moving picture productions, and
thereby the diminution of undesirable
films.
The meeting was held according to
plan, and the Mayor, Nh. l.. Z. Hodg-
son, was named permanent chairman.
On Wednesday of last week Mr. Hodg-
son appointed committee of twenty
two social workers and public spirited
citizens to serve as censors. Mrs. H.
T. Quinlan, prominent member OF the
Catholic Guild, was named chairman
of this committee, which includes also
Rev. Edward Casey, city missionary
of st. Paul.

With irony Of no mean order,
writes The Providence Visitor,
editorially: q. 1t is mod
ern, up-to-date patriotism that
urges us to announce that we are
specially fitted for reprinting
American history. Expurgative
editions are our specialties. If
any of our readers have in their
possession volumes containing ref
erences to Bunker Hill, Valley
Forge, CORVALLIS, Benedict Ar
mold, Stamp Act, Boston Tea, or
other old-fashioned anecdotes, the
Visitor will, at the lowest posi-
bic cost, expurgate these hurtful
references and bring these books
up to date. Washington's fare
we'll address, with reference about
entangling alliances, will be ex-
purgated, free of charge. y

A ROYAL MARRIAGE
LUXE BOURG JOINED WITH
HOUSE OF PARMA.

The marriage Of Prince Francis of
Bourbon Parma to the Grand Duchess
of Luxembourg took place in October,
and was Catholic royal marriage of
some Importance. 1t will be remem-
bered that the bridegroom is a broth
er to the empress of Austria, and
that the sympathies of himself and
his family were with the Allies
throughout the war; and that he and
his brother fought in the Belgian army
because they were not allowed to
join the French army. His alliance
with the Luxembourg sovereign
strengthens the French ties with that
little grand duchy, and has deep po-
litical significance, more especially so,
since the alliance planned during the
German occupation of Belgium with
one of the Bavarian royal houses is,
now off.

An important meeting of Catholic
educators was held Wednesday, No
vember 5, at the Loyola Law School,

of an active propaganda in favor of
the classical studies, in keeping with
the habitual spirit and purpose of the
American College, and with a view to
the perpetuating of truly liberal
culture as the basis of the highest
mental and moral education.

A NEW CREED.

The desire Of earnest Protes-
tants to inject some religion into
the public schools is leading to
queer developments. Thus a
despatch from Vicksburg, Miss,
says the Buffalo Echo, reports
that there is a movement on foot
in that city towards placing a
copy Of can Americans Creed
into the hands of every child IN
the local schools.
can American Creed' is de-
scribed as follows: 1t consists OF
SIG words, taken from twenty
eight books in the Old and New
Testaments, arranged in such a
manner as to preserve the con,
tinuity of the Creed from begin
ming to end. There are five para
graphs, each Of which forms a
good creed. ="
We are further told that the
new Greed bears the approval OF
J. R. Bryan, President Of the Mis-
sissippi Sunday School Assoc1a
ton, who will present copies tc
the children in the Christian
Church Sunday school as birthday
presents, "because it turns the
attention of the children to Coo
and to their neighbors.' The
Creed was compiled by one G. W
Miller, described as a former
Memphis newspaper man, who l.
also the author of Human In
terest Catechism: Answers iron
the Holy Bible .
There is a universal complain
among earnest Professionals tina
the Bible is no longer read
Whether this new "Creed," or it
accompanying "Human !nteres
Catechism, !" will revive interes
in "the Good Book" and stem tn
growing tide of Godlessnes
among our youth, is a question
which even an optimist will hest
tate to affirm. Nor is it likely tina
can Americans Creed" what
ever it's tenor, will take it's plac
beside such older symbols as tina
attributed to the Apostles, tina
ascribed to St. Athanasius, or tina
believed to have been drawn up a
Nicea and later approved at Con
lstantinople.

Here is what New York judge
said one day recently: CAS- long
as l am sitting on the bench, ten
ants who are paying large rents
and are entitled to steam heat,
will get it and plenty of it. If
they don t the landlords will go to
Jail" After making this declara-
ton he fined a real estate broker,
who lives at Coney Island and
owns a low Of apartment houses
there, the sum of 800 which his
majesty paid rather than take the
alternative-twenty days behind
the bars of a Jail. The tenants
did right, the judge did right, and
now the Landlord" may try to
do right.

LETTER OF THE MOST I
REVEREND ARCHBISHOP
WARM APPROVAL is EXTENDED
TO THE WORK OF THE SOCIETY
OF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
HOPE FOR LARGER MEMBER
SHIP.

The Most Reverend Archbishop
Bowling of st. Paul has sent the fol-
lowing letter to Mr.. James G. Nolan,
president of the Particular Council of
the St. Vincent de Paul society of st.
Paul.
Letter of the Archbishop.
November IS, 1919.
My dear Mr.. Nolan:
The st. Vincent de Paul Society has
always received and deserved the
blessings and the praise Of the Bish-
ops and priests who have known its
spirit and observed it's method. 1t is
the embodiment of practical charity in
a world that has lost the sense Of
charity and admires only benevolence
and the elimination of waste from so
ciety. In the spirit of Christ the st.
Vincent de Paul Society confronts the
misery of the parish or the groups of
parishes and noiselessly and tenderly
brings relief to 'the man who fell
among robbers" It's achievements
are usually unpublished and its rec
ords are confidential. 1t therefore
does not appeal to those who have no
patience with the lowly ways of sane
tity, but nevertheless it is a force of
very great influence in spreading "the
atmosphere" Of Catholic thought and
life. | wish that more of our men
were reached by it's spirit and quick
ened nv its inSDiratiOn
Wishing you and all the members of
the Society in this archdiocese Gods
choicest blessings, l am
Sincerely yours in Christ,
AUSTIN BOWLING,
Archbishop of St. Paul.

1t is most probable that the
elections in France bode no good
for the Church. The unbeliever,
BRAND and former Premier Vivi-
ami and Finance Minister Klotz
have been elected. By the way,
during the election, a great biz
gard swept the country; voters,
especially in Northern France,
trudged through snow 8 inches
deep to vote. Four thousand
workmen spread 1000 tons of salt
on the streets of Paris to open
narrow footpaths for pedestrians.
Not in Is years has Paris expert
enced such wintry weather as on
this election day.

HOLD A RETREAT
METHODIST MINISTERS ON RE-
TREAT LIKE PRIESTS.

Methodist Episcopal ministers of
Denver held their first retreat last
week at the Tiff School of Theology
in University Park. The custom,
which is an annual one among Cath
Ollie priests, is being adopted by
Methodists throughout the United
States, according to Chancellor Henry
A. Buchtel of Denver University. The
purpose of the conference is for a dis
cussion among the pastors of their
own spiritual life.

writing to the Archbishop of Ra-

Justice Darling, an English
criminal judge, who had occasion
to sentence twelve cul prits in one
day for bigamy, declared: ''Peo-
pie are taking a very lax view of
the marriage relation. The mar
riage contract is the most sacred
engagement into which anyone
can enter, yet many treat it as
though it were no more binding
than a dinner engagement. "

DEARTH OF COAL
CHURCHES STOP EVENING SERV-
ICES TO SAVE COAL.

There will be no services after noon
in any of the Kansas City, Mo-,
churches from now until the begin

ing of priests of the city in the Cath
Ollie Woman's Club, presided over by
Bishop Lillis. The meeting was called
to consider means of meeting the
present coal shortage. The Bishop
asked that the pastors also be as eco
nomical as possible in the use of coal.

Matron Bernice M. Whipple of
the police department of Grand
Rapids, Mich, is quoted as say
ing: Automobiles are worse
than whisky ever was so far as
effect on the morals of the young
people is concerned. There is not
one case in hundred that comes
within my jurisdiction where this
fact is not the basic reason for the
arrest. Whisky gets the old
woman. The automobile gets the
young girls, and in far greater
numbers" There is something in
speed which produces giddiness ;
and this giddiness extends to the
moral constitution. The same
fact was noted in the days of the
roller skating Kinks, and it is true

MISSIONS IN DANGER

Word has been received in the
United States that Japan may contis-

sions in that province.

can such vote totals be amassed as will withstand
the surging battle Of the last days.
Realization Of this important fact is causing an
amazing rush for the new subscriptions that are
SO valuable from vote standpoint. Three-year
clubs are being built right and left; as soon as
candidate completes one she starts on another.
The wonderful liberality of this vote bonus,
with $500 in gold as an additional tempting prize,
is exerting remarkable influence among those
candidates who, it was thought, would not try
for prize.
More than one clark horse" is already causing
deep concern among the other candidates. And
there are TEN automobiles among the prizes.
There are two important dates to remember
July 18th, when the special offer closes, and Au-
gust End, the grand final day of the campaign,
when fortune in magnificent prizes will be dis
tributed among the ambitious workers of Ala

READ THIS
CAREFULLY

Under no circumstances will the practice of
switching subscriptions be tolerated, and at
tempts to thus gain extra votes will prove ut
terly useless and only lose the votes in. the
end Some candidates are under the misap-
prehenson that, if The Age-Herald is going
to certain address and is merely changed to
another member of the family or household
or any other person at. the same address, that
such procedure will make new subscriber
out of an old one. 1t WILL NOT.
The object of this campaign is to IN
CREASE the number. of legitimate subscrib-
ers of this paper. To do that NEW subscrib-
ers that did not exist before must be added
Merely placing the subscription under some
one else's name would be futile.
The rules defining "new'' and "old" sub
scribers are both simple and positive. Any
person who was receiving The Age-Herald on
the opening day of this campaign, or had since
received it, regardless of whether he or she
was paying by the month or otherwise. is an
OLD subscriber. All others are NEW.
Out-of-town contestants should consult
The Age-Herald's agents in their vicinity to
verify subscriptions. The Age-Herald audit
ing department gives each subscription turned
in rigid investigation, and votes will be for
feited on all old subscribers turned in as new.
