CHRISTMAS.
The annual festival of the English speaking peoples of the world, and of the white races generally, has come round once more, and has found the nations at peace. The industrial internecine strife is as pronounced as ever, but, at the moment, the clang of military weapons has ceased and nation is not warring against nation. We do not think that the approach of the Christmas period has had anything to do with the cessation of international strife but he would be a bold man who would attempt to estimate to what extent Christianity has influenced, and is influencing, the peace of the world. Whatever agnostics and sceptics may think or say, we think it is undeniable that the
Christian religion is responsible, to an extent, which is enormous and cannot be calculated, for the uplifting of individuals and of nations. The teachings of Christianity make for peace, good
will, and merciful consideration of human failings and weaknesses and follies. It would be impossible to say to what extent Christian teaching, and the Christian environment, has led to the establishment of hospitals, the amelioration of poverty, the recognition of the proper status of women, the care of children and of the aged, and all the humanitarian impulses and enterprises with which the white peoples of the world are associated.( See paper for more)

CHRISTMAS IN IRELAND.
Ireland had a very quiet Christmas (writes a Dublin correspondent).
The weather was as bad as it could be, yet had no effect in diminishing the attendance at Mass, and all the churches were crowded, most people assisting at least two Masses. In the Dublin Pro Cathedral the Masses began at 6 o’clock and there were half-hour Masses till noon, when there was a High Mass, at which His Grace the Archbishop presided and preached. During the weekend the Cribs in all the churches drew large numbers of people. The suspension of the Dublin Corporation left the city without the old-time participation through its city fathers in the ceremonies, of the High Mass. But in other centres the local authorities were well represented. The National Army had
its own celebrations at the Curragh Camp, where Masses were said in the Garrison Church from an early hour. At the Curragh and at Portobello and other Dublin barracks there were, church parades, and in the evening a special Christmas dinner for the troops. Everywhere the holy season was marked by attention to the needs of the poor. The firm of Guinness, Dublin’s largest industry, gave the St. Vincent de Paul Society £213, which was distributed in fuel and blankets to the poor in the area of the great brewery. There were many visits to the hospitals.
BUFFALO Bill; Just over 100 years after the death of the legendary American scout, we remember the occasion in which, one day before his death, he was baptized in Denver.( Any idea where Fr. Walsh came from)
