by us and should not be received by us
through fear of mortal sin but through

and consoIing sight it is TO the angels in
heaven and the saints around the throne
Of God to see all the members Of con-

be easily granted to the saints it every
one will simply do mis- duty and follow
she prompt1ngs of his heart and go to
tbe altar and carry his resolutions into
efect.''
