Grave Abuses Noted
1 The Pope, viewing the actual
state of the modern economic
world, did not condemn it as evil
In itself, but said I'VE can not fail
to recognize it is seriously warped

He added:
"All opposition between
Glasses must cease. Harmonious
collaboration must be estab-
Hshed between the various trade
groups. Work is not a sale
able commodity of any kind, but
one of human dignity by which
the working man must always
be respected"
The Pope declared emphatically
that "the teaching of Communism
cannot be reconciled with the doc
,trines of the church" He con-
tinued:
''The free and unbridled COM

an exaggerated concentration
in the hands of few, Of the

Christmas Eve Legend

An anecdote related by Mr.. How
ison in his Sketches of Upper
Canada is full of comparative in
terest. He mentions meeting an
Indian at midnight, creeping eau
tiously along in the stiffness of a
beautiful moonlight Christmas eve.
The Indian made signals to him to
be silent and when questioned as to
his reason replied: ''Me watch to
see the deer kneel. This is Christ
mas night, and all the deer fall upon
their knees to the Great Spirit and
look up. In some parts of England
bees are popularity said to express
their veneration for the nativity by
Singing as it is called, in their
hives at midnight upon Christmas
eve.

Origin OF Santa Claus

He is believed to have been
st. Nicholas, a bishop in the
year 300. He was famous for
his kindness to children. 1t is
said that one night, wishing to
help a nobleman who was so
poor that he had no money for
his daughters dowry, the good
bishop looked in at the old
mans window and saw him
asleep by the fire.
He then climed upon the roof
and dropped a gold piece down
the chimney, thinking that it
would fall upon the hearth.
But it fell instead in one of the
gentleman's stockings, which
his daughter had hung up to
dry beside the fire. This started
the custom of hanging stock
ings over the fireplace, and the
legend of Santa coming down
the chimney.

One Job Only On Christmas

One JOB only On christmas
In olden times, and indeed
today in many parts of the Old
Country, it was and is consider
ed unlucky to leave job un-
finished at Christmas. No mat
ter the kind of work a heroic
effort was made to have it done
before the festivities commenc-
ed. No piece of work was be-
gun near the end of the year
that could not be finished in
time. 1t was a tradition closely
adhered to by Scotch black
smiths that none of their craft
would do a job on Christmas
day. To this rule there was
one exception. If anything
went wrong with the meal-mill
the apron was donned and the
defect attended to. The welfare
of a whole district might have
depended on this job being done
in time. In some districts,
notably Forfarshire, the servent
was absolutely free from his
master during the whole of
Christmas day, and went about
the country visiting his friends
and acquaintance.

Riley's Christmas Message

James Whitcomb Riley, passing
a winter in Florida, sent the follow
ing Christmas message to the people
of Indiana:
christmas means love. We can
not picture it without seeing the
spangled Christmas tree girt with
the faces of gleeful youngsters, glad
parents and happy bodies returned
home from town or far metropolis.
1T sounds like bells and cracking
logs and shouts of children, and even
our old, round shouldered, sorrow
ridden planet, with his eyes knocked
out on his cheek, pauses to smile
from sea to sea, and love is every.
where rejuvenated.

CHRISTINA S!
May it be a Joyous one for all

May it be a joyous one for all
our readers!
We hear many remark they
Cannot afford, etc., on account
of the depression" But the real
Christmas spirit need not neces-
sarily imply an exchange of gifts.
Rather it means a spirit OF
cheerfulness, kindness, helpful
ness, and we all can have this.
A cheerful greeting, kindly
word, helpful deed, pass these
along and you will share in the
true spirit of this great festival
celebrated throughout Christian
DOM. Everyone "can afford"
this, and will feel better and hap
pier for having helped brighten
the daily routine with a cheerful
word and happy smile.
So, we wish all of our readers
bright and merry Christmas!
And may they carry this spirit
with them throughout the year!

Holly and Mistletoe

Holly grows in almost every
country, and because of it's
thorns and it's blood-red ber-
ries was associated, centuries
ago, with the Passion of Christ.
Mistletoe, which grows on
oak trees, used to be held sacred
by pagans because the oak was
supposed to be the symbol OF
their god, Thor. At the time of
the great pagan winter festivals
it was customary to decorate
with all kinds of green things.
When people became Chris
tians they held onto some OF
the old customs, and continued
to decorate their homes and
places of worship with green
cry.
Holly, which was easily
secured at Christmas time,
naturally because a favorite.
and the mistletoe failed to be
forgotten, though it is not used
in churches because it was
once so closely allied with
pagon cermonies.

THE BELOVED BABE

No other star had 'ere before
shone out so bright.
And sent it's silver rays to
light the earth,
AS one which shone that won
drous night,
When on Judea's plain good
tidings, a Saviour's birth.
Never was a scene to mortaPs
eyes ere given,
AS that, the travellers from
the East, there viewed.
A new born Babe, a Son AID
heir to heaven,
Asleep in a manger, a cradle
rough and rude.
Never was an earthly king with
costliest trappings.
And of wealth, and lienage,
rightful heir;
His bed of down, and swathed
in richest wrappings,
Have homage offered, as was
offered these.
In humble stable; beasts
standing round;
A manager bed; a pillow,
twas of hay.
This is what those earnest
seekers found,
And an Infant King there
sweetly sleeping lay.
Never such gifts as were poured
at infant feet;
Never such music as was
heard by mortal ears, s
Ringing from the skies, ma
jestic, grand and sweet,
And rolling from the num-
berless shining spheres.
Never such a message as that
night was given,
And heard by jewellers in that
far off cline,
my beloved Son, peace on

Rang out, and will keep
ringing through all time.

Children's Christmas Behavior

No Holiday finds so many good
boys and girls as does Christmas.
On Christmas morning all the homes
are filled with little saints. Johnnie
has been getting in the wood and
doing his chores for the last month
without being told. Willie has had
good lessons every day and hasn't
been kept in after school during the
entire month. There has been no
trouble in getting the boys to go to
Sunday school. For some time they
nave been getting out of bed in the
morning at the first call and their
table manners have greatly improved.
AS soon as breakfast is over Sallie
has her apron on and her sleeves
rolled up, ready to wash the dishes.
Marie insists that she be allowed to
dry them. They hurry through with
the dishes so that they will have time
to sweep the house before school
time.
Papa is kissed and Rugged before
ne starts for the office in the morning
and all the children are at the gate to
meet him when he gets home in the
the evening. Santa seems to be
helping the children greatly.

Dickens and Christmas

To the genius of Charles Dickens
was due the familiar type of Christ
mas story. The pioneer of all Christ
mas numbers was "a Christmas
Carol" Thackeray called that tale of
Old Scrooge and Tiny Tim ''nation-
al benefit" More than that, "a
Christmas CAROL was an internation-
al benefit, carrying its burden of
happiness across the Atlantic and
disseminating its cheerfulness in
every community in the United
States. Millions of readers have
smiled through their tears in the
eighsty-eight years that the world has
been the richer and better for having
"A Christmas Carol"
Dickens wrote the story at the end
of 1843 to relieve himself of the finan-
cial embarrassments produced by
his rather lavish housekeeping. He
was disappointed in the pecuniary
returns. He received less than
$4,000 from the sale in its original
edition. This is attributed to the
very expensive form in which it was
published. Four other Christmas
books which followed, beginning
with ''The Chimes" were much
more profitable. Then in later years
the Christmas numbers of House
hold Words, to which the Christ
mas Stories" were contributed
sometimes reached sale of 800, 600
copies.
In the end Dickens had little reason
to complain of the rewards of his eff
forts in opening up the rich vein of
Christmas fiction. He was acknowl-
edged the supreme master in that
field. Thackery published Christ
mas books, but wisely refrained
from attempting anything similar to
"a Christmas CAROL or "The
Chimes. In their own way, how
ever, "Rebecca and Rowena," an
unapproached masterpiece of literary
burlesque, and 'The Rose and
Ring" a delightful story for chill
dren, which retains its charm for
their elders, are no less matchless
than the two principal Christmas
books by Dickens.

BY the Associated Press.
BUDAPEST, Hungary, November %
"A plot to overthrow the Hungarian

The conspiracy, aimed at the estab-
