Nils at legislative sessions, before the
htroduction of bills of any other char

over matters.

Annual Festivities Are Planned As
 Christmas Season Approaches
THE Christmas Spirit
By Rev. ]. Leo sullivan. St. JOscph's $ Church.

If there is any moment of the year when the gates of Heaven stand d jar and the angels come trooping down to earth. with some of Gods choicest gifts, ii is at the Christmastide.
 The clouds and fog Of world sunk in materia ism and sensualism is dispelled as the Christmas spirit moves over the land, warming with the rays of divine love, the cold selfish hearts of men.
 The ages before His coming sighed for Him; we Of today. surfeited. like the ages of old. with earthly joys, realize as the ancients did. the vanity of ma terial things, that He alone can satisfy our hearts because He made them for himself.
 Infinite wisdom placed a proper value on the riches of earth when He chose a stable for His birthplace.
 The Creator, the only real lord and owner of the world and all things therein. chose to hide His omnipotence be- hind the tattered robes of pow erty and humility.
 It was to the little ones of earth. to the simple. pure minded. wholesome shepherds, that He first revealed himself.
 1t was to the wise men who followed the urge of higher things. and sought Him that He next unveiled His sacred humanity.
 These wise men of the East represented the priestly caste Of the ancients. In the midst Of a people sunk in material things they represented the spirit.
 He came to bring peace, that heavenly peace" which sur passeth all understanding and which alone can satisfy and make happy the hearts Of men.
 He brought it 10 the shep- herds; He brought it to the wise men; He will bring it to us if, like the shepherds and the wise men. we too are men and women Of good win.
