The peace men find at their family iu-arih is but a poor outward sign n! the ilroater peace for which "~v all yearn — the spiritual peace of their Father's home. The imaging for peace that pervades our personal and political life is

but the incarnation in secular garb of our yearning for the ECCIIFIIV we instinctively know

rill be ours in the bosom of Our Father's family, the family from which we sprang originally.

in that Divine Family we are

truly children of God - not pneticaiiy. metaphorically, or in "._iz‘:ii of fancy; but in the most

‘riacretc sense of the word. We ize (‘hrisfs brothers and sons of 3nd as a result of His unfathom- able love for us—-a love so pro- ioiiiid and unhclfish as to urge the Father to have His Son share our earthly, flcsiily lot in becoming of us. "God so loved the as to give His only begotten Son‘ -- on the first fcast of love ac. humble mortals, became God's children through the Incar- nation of His Divine Son.

Why such lovc? How explain ii" liow, indccd, give reasons for he's love? Why docs any father love his children, even his "arirard children? Love is some- hllfl we cannot fix-plain, we can ’“~-.\' infer that as every father W‘ Sflllwlllllli! of great price in each of his children, 50 did Que

permit man to destroy, and man himself was too precious to be destroyed. He must be saved - elven at the expense of extreme divine suffering!

That is the treasure of God's Love, it is the token that should reassure us In time of despair — we are Christ's brothers, His Father loves us and will never allow us to go unaided. He will always be ready to help us when- ever we are in need. For, let us remember, Christ did not. become one oif us to know the weaknesses of our flesh, the better to judge us. His incarnation was inspired by a divine desire to save us-it was an unselfish love aimed at our good.

That la the love of friendship and charity. A real farther loves his children and bends his every effort to their welfare and happi- ness. We all know that from ex- perience and it is precisely our desire to share In that love, to reciprocate it as best we can, that drives us back to our families at Christmas. So, too, should a spiritual desire burn' within everyone‘: heart. burn with a holy passion, to go with Christ to Our Father, to live with Him and to be dissolved in Him. We are guilty of the most wretched in- gratitude if we refuse Him that love-for the greatest thorn that can pierce any father's heart is the refusal of his children to re- spond to his affection. We may refuse to love Him, but we will Still in spite of ourselves, instinc- tively long for His love, know- 1112 the peace it brings.

Selfish though we may be and fflrgetful oif love our families have for us, the bond still remains fTYOYIZ- WE may wander to the ..our corners of the earth. we may Si"? llllrmlth Qtrange countries, bii-t our hardened hearts will neverdcioe the imprint of our familys love. It will stir deep Hermes: in our bosoms. So, too, can‘we never quite succeed in [T351718 U19 HOIY Spirit from our Svllls. As the Holy Ghost is the Spirit. of love binding Fatlher to Son. so is He the One calling us back to Our Father in our kinship with Christ. It is the Feast. of Christ we are about to celebrate, .but it is no lem the day we weel the H01)’ Ghostb presence in our hearts in a very special manner.

Thll, then. is our family, This is the family We Christiana are hurrying to join this evening, the family in whose midst we will celebrate tomorrow. Sons of One Divine Jfaither, we are broiihers of Christ Joined in a heavenly tinion by ‘the Holy Spirit.

It ts a very uninteresting exper- ience to have to watt for a train that may be late in Qrr1v1ng_ Tlme is such a precious thing that: it seems a pity to waste f‘. In doing nothing worthwhile. and waiting at a. railway station for the purpose I have t: indicated, seems o1 all possible undertakings, the mo“, m be regretted.

There are often two kinda of waiters-one Waiting for the train $0 80. f0!‘ they have an engage- ment. at the farther end of the line. The other ls made up of such as scan the clock to see how the time ls passing, for they are ex. pecting friends on the incoming train. Both classes may have came a. distance and must wait till m; arrival.

WBIUHB l! RlWBYS hard and one grudges the time spent thus, but when the friends arrive the past is forgotten and, hand shaking and hissing and kindly greeting atone f0!‘ the Somewhat: hard feelings the waiters had for no one in parti- cular. because it would be hard to locate the blame.

It is interesting to note the ex_ presslon on the faces of the people as they ccme off the train and pass through the station-some doubt. less on serious business bent, per- haps called home by illness, some after completing a trip far away, welcomed by near relatives, 5011a strangers who were never in that locality before, as indicated by the questions asked.

You see the young husband who is there to meet his wife and small child, and what. a. hearty greeting it is!

On the other hand we see, and the sight is too sacred to behold, "lends parting. good byes are said, and the train rushes out into the night.

Some years ago in one of our Canadian towns a woman arrived and there was no one to meet her, and naturally she felt a bit bitter, but. the train man was kind and thoughtful. and helped her with he!‘ “P881156. She took his name and later mentioned him hand- somely ln her will. Their meetlrg was “like ships that pass in the night and whisper to each other in pssslnsT-the railway man was kind, not: because he might get. a. reward. but It was natural for him so to act and he was rewarded. On one occasion years ago I heard a. little boy ask over and over again the conductor what time It was, and wondered at: his patience, for not once did he tell the little fel- low to be quiet and cease asking such rt question. I thought that likely he hud a. little fellow at’. home that was in the habit. of ask- ing questions. He likely liked chil- dren better than n. couple I met: on my hospital vtsltations, who when asked by me if they had any chil- dren, replied: "No, nor do we want; any-—the little brats make such a noise". The words of Virgil to Dan- te came to my mind as they came to the place in ante-hell where s.- bode the neutrals, "Speak not; of them, but: look, and pass them by." I did not: bother with them after. Time will make tliem old and then how will they look at life?

Waiting at the station for the lute train you often see a cross- sectlon of lIle- You see the hur- ried step of the iman on business bent; you see courtesy tncarnated in the conduct of the officials; you see affection displayed tn friends meeting ater a long time. You see, too, the loafer who has nothing in particular to do but wait round. Possibly this latter class is disap- pearing, thanks to the police who do not tolerate this nuisance now.

IN MEMORIAM

MRS. GEORGE S. McKENNA

On Dec. 8th. tihere passed to her eternal reward, Ida, beloved wife of George S. McKenna, Kin- kora, at the early age of 45 years.

The deceased had been in fail- ing health for the past year and despite all that medical science and tender nursing could do. the grim reaper could not be stayed. God willed otherwise and on the morning of Our Lady's feast, the Immaculate Conception, sur- rounded by her loved ones. her gentle spirit winged its way to her Creator.

Mrs. McKenna was Ifhe daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. James McKenna, Mermaid, and came ll a bride to Kinkora twenty five years ago.

Here by her kind and cheerful disposition she won the love and esteem of all with whom she came in contact. But it was in the home. her many splendid quali- ties of mind and heart were manl- fest.

Here by love and examiple were taught the Christian virtues. it can be truly said of her, "she looked well to the ways of her household" and her husband and children may well call hei- blessed

Despite her many home ties, she was always ready and willing to lend a helping hand in time of sickness or adversity. and to as- sist in any good work for the betterment of the community.

Her death is a distinct loss to the parish, but It is in the home, where she played such a large and important part that her los will be more keenly felt. She was consoled and strengthened by the frequent visits of her good pastor, Rev. Francis McQueid, who ad- ministered to her (the last rites of Holy Mother Church. which she had loved so faithfully and well.

She leaves to mourn a discon- aolafe husband. one daughter. Phyllis and eleven sons, Ivan, Wallace. Elmer. George R. Gerald.
