NEW YORK - This is the
year to decorate your whole
house for Christmas.
New products make it cas-
ier for you to use flowers and
green's in a number of places
in your home. The new mon
spillable water, which will
hold flower stems in place and
keep flowers fresh without a
container, makes it possible
to use flowers and greens on
the mantel, on stairways and
on doors and windows. This
product comes in large blocks,
and is available at your flo
rist's.
Another aid to flower
arranging, styrofoam, is
now available in a wide
variety of shapes and COL
ors. White styrofoam, of
course, is still most popu-
lar, for snowmen figures,
snowballs, snowflakes, and
other novelty decorations.
This versatile plastic ma
terial is also an excellent base
for your arrangements of
greens, because it holds
stems and accessories in
place.

ritanism were not insisted
upon by the community.
When the observance of
the Christmas Festival be-
came general in Massachu-
sets, the occupants Of the
houses on Beacon Hill in
Boston placed candles in the
front windows on Christmas
Eve, and the people going
about the city singing carols
would pause before these
homes and sing their songs.
The Boston custom of
placing lights in the win
doWs on Christmas Eve
soon spread to other cities.
With the use of electricity,
wreaths with electric lights
in them took the place of
candles.
Carol singing is common in
many American communities.
Many church choirs now 60
about town singing carols on
Christmas Eve and there is a
special Christmas Eve service
in numerous churches.
Christmas Eve is known in
the Roman and Anglican
churches as the Vigil of Our
Blessed Lord Jesus.

And there were shepherds in the
same district living in the fields and
keeping watch over their flock by night.
And behold, an angel of the Lord stood
by them and the glory of God shone
round about them, and they feared eX-
ceedingly.
And the angel said to them, DO
not be afraid, for behold, | bring you
good news of great Joy which shall be
to all the people; for there has been
born to you today in the town Of Da-

And this shall be sign to you you will

any, parallel goals with that
of the Church VIC see a mon
umental religious edifice talk
ing shape.
Here i'm the very heart Of
Orthodoxy we behold an
incompatible Ca holic
Church. Here i'm a seeming
ly sterile soil the seed of
faith grows prolifically.
These are parsdoXes which
serve only to magnify the
miracle that is Christmas.
What less than a miracle
could have ordained that
the Babe in the manger was
in fact the source of all
power and of all love.
Can there be anyone who
would question this modern
day miracle in Beograd?
Would even the most outspo-
ken of doubling Thomases be
able to find an iota Of dis
belief?
Dedicated Back In 1882
1t would not be amiss to
summarize our article on st.
Anthony's of a few weeks
ago.
BY direction of the Pope
the Franciscans Of Bosnia re-
sumed (after centuries of
Turkish interruption) their
religious activities in Serbia
following World War l.
The central dream and
eventual goal was the build
ing of a monumental Catholic
Church in Beograd. Our re-
nowned Croatian artist, Ivan
Mestrovic, was instrumental
in securing the services (gra-
tis) of a famous Slovene ar
chitect, Josip Plecnik.
Building was commenced
in 1929 and on December
8, 1882, the Papal NunciO
(later Cardinal Hermene-
gild Pellegrinett) solemn
ly dedicated the structure,
which by then was compile
ted to the point where it
could accommodate servi-
ces.
The Franciscans fathers
were able to carry the finan-
cial load to a point. However
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1956-12-19

beyond. Yes, how fortunate.
How fortunate indeed that
while thousands at this very
moment arc exchanging their
lives for their faith, while
other millions are barely able
to keep body and soul togeth-
er, we in America, endowed
with boundless m e ri a ]
wealth and bssking in the
worlds most benevolent poll
tical atmosphere, can pur-
chase life everlasting without
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1956-12-19

their resources were not un-
limited and SO the interior of
the church is barely now
nearing completion.
Now, however, has come
the almost insurmountable
problem of where to find fl
nancial assistance to erect the
huge, 50 meter, round spire
adjoining the great, rotundal
structure Of the church pro-
per. 1t is this giant (160 ft)
hand of supplication, reaching
to the heavens, that beckons
F! to us for help.
Appeal For Donations
Father zilic, the pastor, In
forms us that arrangements
have been made for the COM
pletion of one more (the last)
altar, floor and pews, organ
and balustrades for the lower
gallery. (The church has two
rows of galleries, all around)
He asks that we in the US.
and Canada lend a helping
hand so that the steeple may
be erected.
Our world famous COM
patriot, Ivan Mestroyic, has
set the example by donat-
ing a statue of st. Anthony
for the main altar. We per-
sonally have had the good
fortune to see this awe in
spring image resting in it's
central position.
In physical dimensions it
represents, naturally, as only
a work of Mestrovic can, the
ultimate in artistry. In spiri'
tual value it singnifys the ar
lists simple yet fervent be-
lief in the faith of his fathers
AS a gift from a colossal gen.
ius it sets a peerless example
Can we do less than follow it
Let us all mark this holy
season of Christmas with a
donation for st. Anthony's

Child will find suitable ways
of repaying us hundredfold

the rigors Of physical discom-
fort. How little is asked of us
and yet how even that mini
mum we sometimes begrudge.
We can, nevertheless,
generalize in characterizing
the American as tolerant,
friendly, considerate and
charitable.
And, charity, above all at
tributes, is the Christ Childs S
own favorite. 1t is this char
acteristic which, in the main,
has been responsible for our
material we'll being. 1t has
furnished the climate for ex-
pansion and progress. 1t has
been the never failing beacon
of hope and succor for the
worlds less fortunate.
| Wondrous House OF God
We personally cannot think
Of Christmas this year with
out associating it with that
wondrous house of God, st.
Anthony's Roman Catholic
Church in Beograd, Serbia. In
our minds eye it bears many
similarities to the halloWed
Nativity scene itself.

cal expedience finds few, II

Ia Passing

IAN you think of a holiday season sound
~ more appealing than the festive tinkle
of bells? Children love the thought of sleigh
bells heralding the approach of Santa and
his gift-laden pack. The true air
~ of Christmas rings when tiny bells
n N tinkle with every opening door, for
bells are as sure a mark of the
holiday season as lighted trees and Santa.
But of all the bells we hear on Christmas
Day none are sWeeter than the chimes ring
ing out from the "belfries of all Christen-
dom" as Longfellow wrote.
