ance the church knows whereof she
speaks. She is a wise and an old
church, and has been through the
battle of the centuries. Divine and
human wisdom are hers.
Her children can indeed rejoice
that the spirit of her Founder. the
Christmas spirit, is alive today. Hers
is the spirit of charity, mercy, and
forgiveness, but not of compromise
with anti-Christ. AS we celebrate the
birthday of the Saviour by showing
love, mercy, and forgiveness towards
our brothers in Christ, let us refresh
and recharge our own souls by ap-
preaching the Holy Table and feast
ing on the sumptuous birthday BAN
quet provided for us by Christ first
at the Last Supper and ever after
wards at the Mass, the Mass of Christ,
whence the word Christmas takes it's

CATHOLIC CHURCH NOTES

Christmas Masses: Kerrick, mid
night a. m; Duquette, 8 a. M; Bruno.
1890 a. m.
Christmas is the birthday of Christ
the King-the living God-man-the
promised Messiah-the founder of the
Catholic church-the greatest man
who ever lived. Compared with what
Christ accomplished in three short
years the achievements of all our
greatest patriots, philosophers, and
scientists dwindle into insignificance.
Although primarily our spiritual
Saviour, who made possible the at
tainment of our supernatural end, He
was also our social Saviour, who gave
the world new social SyStem--a new
outlook of hope for the oppressed and
the handicapped. His revolution was
such as to stop the march of time,
and make men believe they had just
begun to live. That was 1882 years
ago, and the church which He found
ed and endowed to propagate and per-
petuate His Gospel has done both,
and is doing today very effectively.
But it has not been without opposi-
ton from anti-Christian forces; and
for the past seven or eight genera
tions from self-styled Christian forces,
who broke from the effective unity
of the mighty Church of Christ, and
thereby made the church's fight
/ against paganism more difficult. Num-
erous accusations have been made
against the Catholic church, but she
has never been accused of being 1000
staunch in her defense of Christ's
principles. She will not compromise
one iOta with Pagan principles. Rath-
er than allow one marriage divorce
she would lose England; rather than
surrender the inalienable' rights of
one individual, she would lose Rus
STA. But she lives because her work
is not yet finished. She will keep
Christ alive in the conduct of hui
of Christmas day alive because she
keeps their principle of Christ alive
for the other 364 days of the year
Christ could have saved His life on
earth if He compromised a little-if
He didn't make such mighty claims
of divinity. His church is not above
it's Master. and it cannot compromise
with pagan ideals, some of the ideals
e. g. that are born in our American
universities, and flow out to our
homes to disrupt them and through
them to disrupt our national and So
cial life. Apart from her divine guild
