It is a well known fact that when-
ever a new form of social or Industrial
misery has arisen in the world, some
new religious order or congregation:
ha* arisen in the Catholic Church to
Indicate the ways and means of it* al-

great order of SL Benedict, the pa-
triarch of Monte Casslno, wa* called
into Life to spread the faith among
heathen peoples; and to counteract a little prudence

i commend to our readers, especially
to those who have ta charge the dec-

the coming holiday season. Wo recall
many fatal calamities which have oc-
curred in the past at this season, and
which might have been prevented by

Of al! th© miracles in the world
never was there one to be compared
ito His coming on earth ta the form ot
a man. It was a miracle so entirely
above and beyond our reason that i:n-!
less we knew it by faith to be a fact;
we should be inclined to pronounce
it impossible. That the infinite God
I take the form of a creature!
should be 1
, clad In a body formed of the dust of '
, the earth! that He should of His own j
; accord leave the highest heaven for a <
; life of suffering and a death of agony!
Nothing but the power of God could
- work such a wonder as this.
Yet we know that It is a fact. "For' the making of a good citizen?
u« men and for our salvation He came
down from heaven." He yearned af-
ter us with a divine love. Willing-
ly. joyfully, almost eagerly He strip-;
.,—, ------- — ..., „—Ho
humbled Himself and became obe-
dient unto death." Who after this can
refuse to believe that He loved us and
still loves us fondly, tenderly? Who
can refuse to love Him ta return, and
to show this lov* by a loyal obe-
dience to all that He asks of us?
