Does it often occur to us al
home how strictly we are bound to
assist the heroic missionaries
priests, Brothers and Sisters, who
are in our name carrying on the
fight against the powers Of dark
ness abroad? The Church is
obliged to supply her courageous
army with the means Of defence
and offence. OF herself the Church
has little: we are the Church, and
upon us individually devolves the
duty OF giving of our store that
this holy work may 60 on.
A worthy Christian resolution
for the New Year would be the
determination to realize our obi
cation as Christians in this re-
gard; to set aside a certain por-
ton, even though small, of our in
come in order to assist our broth
ers on the firing line Of mission
airy activity.
The Catholics of this archdio-
cese have made a wonderful rec
ord during the past few years in
helping the missions would that
every individual Catholic might
grasp this situation at it's full
value and then manfully and will
ingly bear a slight burden placed
upon him by the virtue of charity.
Christ sent His apostolic men forth
to teach all nations: is there a bet
ter work of Christianity than to
assist those heroes and heroines
who are struggling to carry out
the command Of the Saviour, a
command that means the salvation
of countless immortal souls?

Travelling salesman are. more likely
than men in any other calling to be
divorced. This unenviable preem.
inence of the drummer is proved by
statistics gathered recently and just
published by Professor Rudolph A.
Binder, director of the department of
sociology of New York University.
The investigation shows that divorce
proceedings are the outcome of one
marriage In nine among travelling
statesmen.
Professor Binders statistics show
that Americans are marrying young,
put that few children are born of such
unions. His explanation is that "chil

VIENNA HAD 927
 STRIKES IN 1920 New Record for Walk-0ut Is Established By Austrian
 CapitaI-StilI at It
By Associated Press

Vienna February 2.-Vienna set what is probably new record for strikes in the year just ended. There were 9T of them in this city partial or complete, wild or organized.
 !. Eight of them were carried over into the new year, having taken in the clos- ing week of 1990. The most recent of the strikes included employees of government printing plants. workers at the mint, ac- tors and orchestres of the national thea ters, railway employees, womens tailors, dentists assistants, city employees and the gold and sllversmiths.
 Of all the strikes which Vienna has experienced in the last i2 months not ono loosed the flood gates of indignation in the street and newspapers as did the closing of the coffee houses for five days, as the result of a demand for increased pay on the part of sne employees The Vienna coffee house means vastly more to the resident of Vienna than the club means to the average American or Eng lishman.
 |. There are thousands of Viennese who transact most of their business in the cOIIee mouse, tnoush tney nave oit'cc' and staffs of clerks. Germans say that the Austrians passion for sitting in the coffee houses all day accounts for tho fact that he had before the war but a small share of the worlds foreign trade.
 There are several reasons for this cof- fee house habit. One is that the Vien- nese goes there to rest and most of them appear to have been born tired. He also grndges himself the price of a newspa- ger but in the coffee house he obtains free the privilege of reading nearly every Austrian newspaper and many from for egn countries, besides the illustrated weeklies and monthlies. Tn the course of time he acquires the privilege of oc- cupying table before one of the spa cious windows for which the Vienna cof- fee houses are renowned. and whence he may watch the procession of women passing.

we have completed here the trilogy oi Dr. Fosdicks interpretations Of Chris tian character. "The Manhood of the Master is not the life of the Master, nor yet a study of His teaching, but it is an endeavor to understand and appreciate the qual- !ity of His character; of course. the sig nificant events of His life are consid- cred, but only for the sake of looking through them into the spirit of the per- sonality who was active there. Neither is "The Manhood of the Mas ter" an attempted contribution to the theology of the church, about Jesus; it is an endeavor rather to get back be- hind the thoughts of the centuries about him, and to see the man Christ Jesus himself as he lives in the pages of the gospel.
 In The Manhood of the Master Dr. Fosdick makes a vivid setting forth of the personal qualities of the Master his joy, magnanimity. indignation, ioy- alty to his cause, power of endurance, sincerity, self-restraint fearlessness and affection; closing with chapter on "The Measure of the Stature of the Fullness of Christi
 Of all Dr. Fosdick's books which I have read, though, "The Second Mile" touches the chord of human sympathy more completely.
 When I read the little book-because none of pr. Fosdicks books is bigger than a minute'--(just dainty, tiny lit- tie books that you could shove in your pocket or your shopping bag)-I said something about the author and the book which I want to repeat here:
 'Dr, F'osdick is one of the most thoughtful and suggestive writers of the present day.
 He says that "whenevr man glori- fies his work, he has gone the second mile; he has translated duty into priv ilege." This is good book to keep on the desk by you, and to take on a jour ney with you. Get it. Read it. And then read it again. It is worth it."
 The Second Mile' has for it's text the biblical injunction, "Whosoever shall compel thee to go one mile. go with him two"
 The little book contains a strong message based on the conception that it is vice in our goodness not to do more than is requested, showing the power of willingness to do the extra service---something beyond the ordi- nary mans programme.
 How wish I had words to describe the way feel about tn eman or wom- an who does only what he or she is paid to do!
 Since I have been out among men and women--in the great struggle against the world. have enconnt ed many types of people; the "Grafters'' the fellow who gets by without work ing; the disloyal man in the big enter prise, and all sorts, but of all the types believe that one that '.reneges" on an inch of '.extra" work is the one whom dislike most.

CHANDELIERS PUT IN INDEPENDENCE HALL l OF ORIGINAL DESIGN
By Associated Pres.

Philadelphia, February 2.-Chandeliers have been installed in independence hall that are exact reproductions of the orig inal fixtures put in when that historic building was first erected.
 They are the result of a special design prepared by experts after a careful study of the chandeliers which were in use at the time of the construction of the hall in 17s5. Some of the originals of that period, still in existence. are found in All Hallows church, Barking, England, and it was there that the experts went to examine the fixtures.
 The chandeliers are exact facsmiles of the originals, with the exception that they are wired for the use of electricity instead of relying on real candies. They are made of ornamental brass and the candle effect is achieved by means of a small frosted glass bulb.

Three Fosdick Books

N ERHAPS you don't. know pr. I0 Harry Emerson Fosdick and his q books, and if you don't. please let me introduce you to a group of three, ''The Manhood of the Master 'sThe Meaning of Service" and "The Second Mile'' (The Association Press Publishers. New York City)
 There are several others, but these three I have just finished reading; or at least 're-reading," one of them The Second Mile" while the other two came to my notice recently through hearing pr. w. R. Hendrix. pastor of Highlands Methodist church, refer to them.
 Two years or more ago Mrs. J. E. billiard, wife of pr. Dillard, pastor of the Southside Baptist church, sent me "A Copy of "The Second Mife,' and asked me to read it and say what l thought of it.
 Frankly, never read book which I enjoyed more, and to have read and re-read it, each time finding new joy in its contents, new precepts and coun- sel which touch my heart and make me see things differently.
 Dr. Hendrix mentioned especially s'The Manhood of the Master this lit- tie book being one of many from Dr. Fosdicks pen, notably The Meaning of Service" one of a trilogy, including ..The Meaning of Prayer" and The Meaning of Service completing the trilogy.
 Prayer C'The Meaning of Prayer'D deals with the inward problems of Christian life; Faith CsThe Meaning of Faith") with Christian experience; Service ("The Meaning of Service"), with the practical overflow of Chris tian life. A life that rightly conceives of prayer, that is dominated by faith, must be serviceable. "The inevitable expression of real Christianity Is a life of sacrificial service.' This is why s'The Meaning of Service" concludes the group of Dr. Fosdicks interpreta tions of Christian character.
 In The Meaning of Service" there is a profound appeal. for anyone who thinks at all in our day about human- ity's condition must think about serv- ice, its meaning, motives, and aims. This book conceives of service as the indispensable expression of disciple ship, the practical overflow of the Christian life. A life that rightly con- ceives of prayer and that is dominated by faith, must be serviceable, and so

person could read The Second Mile" and ever balk again.
 When Iago says about Desdemena that She holds 1t vice in her good ness not to do more than is requested, he lays his discriminating finger upon trait of character not ordinarily worked up in the system of ethics"
 Thus does Dr. Fosdick begin his lit tie book, "The Second Mile" and thus does he end it:
 There is but one invincible power on earth, and that is the unwearied spirit of The Second Mile Only man must surely believe in God to have it. in the God of Jesus and immortality. For un- derneath such sacrificial compassion must lie eternal love of God and ahead of it must rise violent vision, radiant, a triumphal day whose songs are even now in hours of struggle quietly audi ble:
 AS if some fair city were one voice, Around a king returning from his
 wars"
 pr. Fosdick. who is professor of prac- tical theology in Union Theological seminary, and special preacher at the First Presbyterian church. New York city writes from a compelling impulse to meet great human need. This need. in all its variety of expression, he hal felt and seen with rare understanding of human lives.
 The need made him search for help to meet it, and out of the richness of his own life, with added inspiration drawn from the contribution of other great thinkers, he has written virile, eloquent messages.
 In clear, brief, understandable lam guage he has made the meaning of prayer and Of faith, the manhood of the Master the challenge of the pres. ent crisis, the assurance of immortality, an inspiring reality in the lives of hun dreds of thousands and there is a never ending call from other thousands who arc just discovering him and are searching for the vision, the strength, the courage which his messages have given others.
 heartily recommend these little books to you, my friends, If you haven't got them, and you'll just love them, know, as I do, when you've read them The Association Press sends them out ''prettily dressed" and printed in nice, big letters and I wouldn't take any thing in the world for mine, and I know youswouldn't If you ever owned them
