Many people are diffident in exercising
1 that power which ;ies In them for good;
they hesitate to get their tongues and
actions do that which their conscience
prompts them to do. They must be shown
! how they can do IL, and they must be
taught that they can do IT,
TO do this the brotherhood must stick
I TO Its own work; il must not interfere
with other organizations; il should not be
/ used as money collecting agency: it is
] spiritual. il must lead 10 a communion
/ Individual effort is the special means
/ that must be used by brotherhood men;
/ this Is the most useful and efficaciOus
/ means; it is the exercise of a Cody per-
/ sonal influence. and il has the advantage
/ that it is possible to every man."

and death and suffering begins To dawn
on us, we learn that our cross is but "a
manifestation Of the life Of God.

The Lord Bishop of ST. Adams followed
with an address which was theological
and profound, bat which did not for a
moment rise above the heads of his
youngest hearers. He said. in part:

be the words of St Paul. What will YOU

appeal; 20 the appeal Of one who has
died for Us, and who loves us; one who
asks because He has given. He appeals
for what He has done for us: appegis
