A Christmas Sermonette Peace on Earth By MARTIN FERREY (Minister, Unitarian Church.) "Peace on earth, good will toward men," Is given to us as part of the song of the Angels heard by the lowly shepherd.?. These words express the objective of the Christian religion. And yet we find so mueh misunderstanding as time after time from the pulpits, platforms and many other places the question Is asked "Has Christianity Failed?" One great obstacle towards the fulfilment of the Christian hope is that for centuries men have looked everywhere outside of their own lives for the Kingdom of Heaven. They have expect ed to find peace beyond the grave and the kingdom everywhere except where Jesus taught that his followers would find It within their own hearts and among themselves. I have seen worn faces; anxious faces rushing here and there making purchases. I have heard "O, ilwill be so glad when Christmas is over!" Such persons have forgotten the spirit for the temporal satisfactions. Peace in the world may only be found when peace Is first enthroned in' the heart. Good will to all men will bring that peace. Not a passing good-fellowship giving costly presents .and then wishing to for get about it or worrying as to how one should pay for them, but a good-radiating sympathy, kindness, understanding so much so that each one being a kingdom of God will ultimately transform the world. v The Christ spirit is a perpetual gift to humanity. Only we all must pray and learn to appreciate It. Let us remember that all men and women are children of one Father. Let us wish to all a Merry Christmas. Our smiling faces, sincere greetings and the good will we feel within will be worth more than mechanical illumination. Christmas Is an eminently saered and holy occa sion. Let each ot us help realize that in this our city Salem city of peace. Father Meier Tells Theresa Neumann, Seer Who Has Wounds of Christ in Her Body WOODBURN, December 20. Fr. Thomas Meier, O. S. B.f form er rector of Mt. Angel college, gave a lecture on "Theresa Neu mann, the Passion Flower of Kon nersreuth" to a crowded assembly under the auspices of the Knights of Columbus Tuesday night. "Many things impressed me while on my tour ot the British Islands and the continent," he said, but my fondest recollection was that of Theresa Neumann at Konnersreuth, Bavaria. "Theresa Neumann, the stigma tized seer, bears the wounds of Christ In her own body. I saw and examined the open wounds in her hands," the speaker continued, 'and I speak to you as I saw her during my four days visit at Kon nersreuth. The stlgmatas do not fester as do other sores on her body which have shown to be quite susceptible to Infection. The resa goes through the passion on Fridays, as I myself witnessed. She loses as much as six pounds In weight during her suffering but regains the same in remarkably short time.
