But somehow l can't help thinking
of old Elder Bliyins of the little New
Hampshire town where we used to go
summers before you got very rich. You.

with a conscience as highly developed

preached a mighty powerful sermon on
gambling, and the way he did seek II
at the sinners made my young blood
run cold. There happened to be sew 4
eral summer visitors in his congrega-
ton that day, among 'em Colonel Por-
ter, big stockbroker of Boston, but
that only infiamed the elder. all the
more. He declared that the stock mar
ket was run by the devil in person
and that every man who took part In
those hideous games of chance was
professionally and teetotally damned.
1t was scorcher, and the deacons
congratulated him so heartily after the
service that he naturally looked for a
fifty dollar raise in his salary, which
was just then running more to pota-
| toes than his needs seem to warrant
Colonel Porter looked little hot I'M
4 der the frying, but he didn't make q
fool of himself by going out.
About the middle of the week the
| church had grand fair and sale for
the purpose of raising funds to mend
the chimney. There were candy tables,
| flower tables and knit goods tables,
/ kissing booths, lemonade stands, cider
| stands and coffee stands. But the
crowds were always around the grab
bag and the place where tickets were
sold for the grand drawing of a piece
OF Rogers statuary representing two
old dodgers at a heartbreaking game
Of checkers.
Colonel Porter was on hand, as chip
per as a lark, spending money like q
hero and earning the blessings OF all
the ladies. He kept away from the
grab bag until he saw Elder Blivins
standing by, and then he sailed up. He
allowed that he wanted the gold ring
that was said to be in the bag, and he
paid his money and took draw. lie
got a birch bark napkin ring tied with
yellow ribbon.
"Pshaw, elder" said the colonel, look

among the negroes of the United States
and this knowledge increases his inter-
est in the welfare of your race.
His Holiness, as the Vicar of Christ,
extends his loving care to every race
without exception, and he must neces-
sarily use his good offices to urge all
Catholics to be friendly to negroes, who
are called no less than other men to
share in all the great benefits of the re-
demption.
THE life and example of St. Peter
Claver and of SO many other Catholic
missionaries are there to show that this
is no new conception of the apostolate
entrusted to the Church of Christ.
whilst frankly admitting that crime
may often be committed by members of
the negro race, His Holiness advocates
for them the justice granted to other
men by the laws of the land and a
treatment in keeping with the tenets of
Christianity.
Il am confident that these sentiments
are shared by the vast majority of the
great American people and by those
who are responsible for the custody of
the principles underlying the American
constitution.
