The editors of The Gospeller were also large contributors to its pages. All the unsigned articles it contained were written by one or other of the brothers, and all the unsigned verses were from the pen of Father Tom. Gospeller volumes have now a unique value, as being the only record of Father Pollock's able and brilliant sermons. His preaching was practically extempore, and his scanty sermon notes offer small material for reconstruction. Father Tom always wrote his excellent practical discourses out at length.
Faith is the first resting-place of the soul.
It needs support, and is exposed to enemies. We forget that we were purged from our old sins. Then the gift of Health is needed, and it comes in GOD'S appointed way of repentance. It needs Rule to guide and restrain it all the day. For after the hard work of life, daily bread must be supplied for the strengthening and refreshing of our souls.
