the walls and gained an entrance the
Jews would not surrender. Titus would

The preacher applied the point that
while every opportunity for salvation ia
offered there is limit to grace. We
must beware how we resist the visitings
Of grace. BY Gods boundlsss grace we

As Catholics, the better man, the better
soldier you are and also the better citi-
zen. You are not like the soldiers Of
Titus invading another country, but are
instruments in the hands Of God to pro-
tect your own country. After your duty
to God comes your duty to your country.
Be humble, upright and good Catholics
and you will be honorable, upright and
good soldiers. While fighting against the
enemies of your country keep up the
strife against the enemies of your ever
lasting salvation and then in the world to
come you will wear the GROWN OF life at
the everlasting camping ground.
