" for the greater glory of God, the benefit of

should recommend ITSELF without needing their
fervent appeal. Let us quote one more SEN

or psstimes or reorestops are not stinted by
Parsi imonious thought; let them send the price

possibly can, to The society. This would be
better than being Indifferent; though the
great thing that is wanted is work No one

"Catholics ought not, and the Council hope {

And it may be added that it is in the power

Noticing for the last few weeks that there
has been no communication from our little

few lines to let you know we are we'll, and
hope they will find you enjoying the same
blessing" The farming season has COM
menced with vim. Some have sown
great many oats, but others have not plowed
a furrow. We fear that unless we have
less rain we will be late in getting our crops
in. We hear SOME of our best farmers say
that they do not intend to plant so much
cotton this year. A wise conclusion, this
