Beauty of St. vincent's.

the most beautiful and best appointed

which I had visited the institution. I saw

Three Words of Advice.
Boys. I would give you three words
Of advice:
First Of all. be Industrious. Avoid
idIeness. Be fond Of labor. The United
States is happily fortunate in that all
labor is regarded as honorable.
Secondly. avoid strong drink Dread
drunkenness. Avoid the companionship
Of those who drink. l have known many
young men. sons OF rich parents. whose
greatest curse was that they had too
much money, for they spent the money
in rioting. dissipating. and drink
Thirdly, cultivate piety and religion.
Here. Of course, you are required TO as
sist at mass and at other religious exer-
cises- Perhaps. at times il becomes te-
dlous and irksome to you. Perhaps you
would rather play than pray; you would
rather be on the baseball grounds than
IN the chapel But remember that this
discipline is necessary to your we'll
being When you leave this Institution
do not forget your religious training Be
gin and close each day with prayer. Ask
God at the beginning Of the day to bless
your work, and at the close thank Him
for the blessings He has bestowed on
you. Wherever you are hear mass on
Sunday and hear preached the word Of
God EndeavOr at all times 20 be Christ
