who wrote to the Corinthians Of
his time these profound words:
"God is not the God Of dis
senSiOn, but Of peace"
And Sylvester, who after the
long night of persecution could
greet the aurora of liberty and
peace invites us in this year to
direct to the rulers and peoples Of
the earth a new and still more
fervent and pressing eXhortation
to peace, to it's maintenance where
it reigns, to its reestablishment
where it is but sorrowful mem
ory, a tragic and up to this time,
alas, unfulfilled yearning.
Prays For Peace
With this appeal to the world,
we join today more fervently than
ever our prayer to God for that
tranquility Of order in which
alone peace can consist for the
execution of that individual and
collective justice without which
no order is possible.
This, our prayer, we reverently
lay before the crib Of the Prince
Of Peace.
And so we go back again in
spirit and in heart to the cave Of
Bethlehem, whence we behold the
whole Catholic world to give
thanks to that Divine Infant, to
that all-knowing Child, who be
came a. child to be more livable
and thus to draw the whole hu
man race to Himself, to His cross
to His blood, to His church, and
to His triumph.
He is today in the midst Of us
and in union with Him his vicar
extends his hand to bless you all
beloved sons, and to invoke on all
the abundance of gifts and graces
which he came to scatter as seeds
of an eternal and imperishabl'
triumph on the face Of the eartt
for men of good will.

We have had several occasions,
even recently, to explain what the
Holy and Apostolic See has always
believed and taught and what
they, according to their opportuni.
ties, have sought to accomplish
and to contribute to, yes, even up
to this day, and with ever greater
dispositions for the future, to the
welfare of all against the common
enemy.
Sounds Faith Plea
It is needless to say that in such
conditions there is nothing more
for us to do but to renew more in
Sistently, more paternally and i'm

pressing entreaty so frequently re-
peated to the faithful throughout
the world, to all souls particularly
devoted to the sacred heart and
to the interests of the church, to
all the bishops, to all the secular
and regular clergy, to all the laity,
especially to those who with such
enlightened faith and Christian
charity labor for the interests of
Christ and of souls by their active
participation with the hierarchicsl

Above all, we have called atten-

truth and justice and brotherly

The sorrowful note which this
year is mingled with the joys of
Christmas is even more profound
and distressing because of the
fact that there still RACES with all

and of destruction, a civil war in

There It seems that propaganda
and those evil forces of which we
have spoken above have wished
to make supreme experiment Of
all the destructive forces scat

they have at their command.
Spanish War Menace
Here is a new menace, more
threatening than ever. before the
whole world, and principally for
Europe and its christian civiliza-
ton.
Here are signs and portents Of
terrifying reality of what is being
prepared for Europe and the
whole world, if they do not hasten
to adopt the necessary remedies of
defense.
Among those, moreover, who
pretend to be the defenders Of
order against the subservience Of
civilization, against the spread Of
an atheiStic communism, are
many who in this defense claim
for themselves Leadership. We see
with sorrow not a few allowing
themselves to be dominated and
guided by false and fatal ideas,
both in their choice of remedies
and in the appraisal of their
adverSaries.

death a few days ago, c. w. Finch
was a dealer in Henderson in farm
machinery and horses and mules for
the farmer. His place of business on
Breckenridge street was a headquar-
tiers and meeting place for many
growers, who liked to drop in and
pass the time of day and discuss cur
rent problems of their own with Mr.
Finch, who had their respect and con-
:,idence.
During the past few years after
their father came to be in feeble
health, two of the sons, George and
Ralph Finch, have been managing the
business The training they received
from their father has enabled them
to carry on in a successful manner
even during his absence from the
store.
