The Iaboring c'asses-so called IL dis
tinction from the idle people, who only
contrive the machinery and discover the
processes and lay out the work and draw
the charts and organize the various
movements which keep the world going
and make it tolerable. The organ
blower works harder with his muscles
than the organ player, and may perhaps
be exasperated into thinking himself

What we call fate is simply the uni
verse telling us we have taken the wrong
path. and that we had better make
haste and fiud another. Everything goes
down before healtey human will which
believes in God, and does not worry
about the morrow while working in the
present. The world soon comes round
to our side if we let it know 1t is our
master. All we have to do is to do our
work steadily among men, and for others
as we'll as ourselves, believing that it is
God who does the work in us. Our
children should be trained as those who

run directly counter, if necessary, to the
opinions of society, and so to develop all
affections that they may last, still beau

created The bitterest hatred between a
husband aud wife that bad formerly
loved each othev dearly; ''You are far
worse and mere mischievous than aud
all my companions in hell" What ter
rible curses are uttered in the Holy
Scriptures against those wicked peoplei
| ''Tbe wbisperer and the double-tongued
is accursed; for he hath troubled many
that we're in peace" Not without rea-
son, then, does ST. Gregory count them
amongst the children Of Belial; for If it
is true that ''Blessed are the peace-ma~
kers, for they shall be called the chill
dren of God, " there is no doubt that they
who disturb peace are the children OF
the devil. ''Six things there are which
the Lord hateth. which He cannot bear
to see in the world. as the wise man saYs
in the Book of Proverbs, "and the sew
enth his soul <letesteth," and utterly ai-
hors And what is that? Him TINT
soweth discord among brethren" chat is
commentators tell us, tale-bearer who
creates strife and enmitv among others.
Would it not be better for one of that
character to be dumb than to make such
