The Rev. Father Thomas j. Ducey,
of st: Leo's Roman Catholic church,
New York, had this to say when ques-
toned about "Povertys Sunny Side:
Universities that interfere with our
ambitions and determinations, when
our ambitions and determinations are
honorable, may, and no doubt do, ben
eft men. The honest opposition of an
honest and strong mind to our views
and convictions of necessity must en-
large our mental vision and becomes
to men sort of university training.
One may regard these oppositions at
first as a sort of adversely; they may
throw man into some little despond-
ency; but when he pulls himself to-
gether he must resolve to be a man
and call from the storehouse of his
reserve powers new lights that may
brlng victory over his adversaries, and
II they do not bring victory force
others to recognize his power of heart,
mind and will.
THE adversely that comes to man
late IN life, that robs him of his con-
fidence in his fellow men because he
has been so often and so
PERSISTENTLY DECEIVED.
these Universities, with my experience
with men, [ find, lead not to glory. but
10 despair, and in most instances to
ruin. The dependency that comes in
the wake of poverty and suffering
frequently ends in despair and death.
rms adversely makes of this earth a
place OF gloom, and in most instances
sends men and women into the grave
with broken hearts, doubling the ex-
lstence of God, through mans inhu-
mainly to man, hating his fellows, as
MS adversities and their want of sym
pathy have forced him to.
Happy IS the man who feels honestly
before God that he has never turned a
deaf ear to adversitys despairing cry
out on the contrary, has always lis
tened with interest and love to the tale
OF his sorrowing fellows, and has
never denied either the aid or sym.
patny, counsel or material relief. The
children Of adversely are dis.
posed, 1t is true in their moments
OF despair, to forget that public mer
and public teachers who honestly
SSeh 70 make life as beardble as posi-
Die are frequently overwhelmed will
the knowledge of individual suffering.
IL is dlfncult to bear our own adversi
