McKenna, secretary to Bishop Thomas J. Shehan, rector ©f Catholic University, who has the task of raising §5,000,000 to complete the National Shrine of the Immacu- late Conception, which is now under construction at Catholic University. The profit from the sale of the Christmas cards goes into the build- ing fund of the shrine. “Rightly understood, the Christmas card Is the mutual joyous greeting of all who believe that the timely coming of the Infant of Bethlehem brought to a sick and despairing world the only remedy that could heal its ills, by the exhibition of an infinite love in the form of Infinite humility,” eaid Dr. McKenna. “It catches up, as it were, and prolongs the echo of the ‘good news' that was first proclaimed in the deep silence ot this holy night when the angels, for the first time, intoned, ‘Glory to God In the highest and peace on earth to men of good will. scause the Christmas market was flooded with cards that were at once secular and insipid, without appeal 1o religion or art, the Natlonal Shrine of the Immaculate Conception under- took to malil Christmas cards, artis- tic in quality, deeply religious in sen- timent and attractive in their make- vp.
