Experience teaches US the weakness Of hu- i.
man resolution. Insulated man is weak Ia
virtuous resolve. God himself has impIa1-
ted in our bosofns mysterious and unde+
Unable sympathy. There IS ceasaIess
yearning for consolation in niliosion--lor
participation in our joys-fpr communion
with our fellcNman. An AlkWise cfedt5f
has given Us an irresistible tendency to as
sOciation. This feeling Is manifested ii q
thousand forms SIT IS manifested IN n0IiIital
and social existences--in combination IN
moral enterprises. and IN The Church Itself.
Man, generally. is too weak 70 stand alone
and unaided BY sympathy. 70 combat he
