In bis recent sermon on the Young Mems
Institute Bishop Lemmens of Victoria, b. c.,
said: " There is ample inducemeut for every
Catholic young man, in whose conduct or
character there is nothing that may unfit him
for membership, to give his name to the IN
stitute and be enrolled among its members.
Even those who are so situated that they
have no need of assistance in case of sick
ness or accident, and do not desire 30 draw
any of the pecuniary benefits to which MEM
bers are entitled. should not therefore
stand aloOf. If they prefer they may enter
as honorary members, and by occasional
voluntary contributions help to keep up the
membership of others who may be tempo
rarily unable to pay their dues. For, apart
from these benevolent features, it is most
desirable that Catholic young men of all
classes should mingle more frequently, cult
vate more Intimate acquaintance, familiar
lie themselves with the general needs and
combine to provide that, which is not the
least among the wants of youth-hon orable
recreation, innocent amusement and protlta-
bic entertainment. In our times, unless
man be member of some society or organi-
cation he is virtually isolated from his fell
bowman, he stands solitary and alone, de-
pendent upon his own unaided resources.
Such isolation is not Catholic; the sons of
the church should, like their Master, labor
together with unanimity of thought and pur-
pose for the general welfare of all.
