that every member of the parish who
has reached the earning capacity should
be upon the rolls of the parish debt
society.
In attaining the one great aim and
purpose in life-the reign of Christ in
our souls-says Father Quigley. two
things are of importance; the hearing
OF mass on Sunday and the frequent
reception OF the Sacraments." He says
he regrets to say that a considerable
number neglect these duties. He
thought that between 200 and 800
adults IN the parish miss these oblga-
tons without valid excuse
Let every Catholic parent remen-
Der this he says:
THE Catholic mother who neglects
Sunday mass poisons the home life at
its source. The Catholic father who
stays from mass on Sunday without
sufficient reason. hardens his own heart
against Jesus Christ, betrays the trust
God has placed in him by parenthood
and leaves his example as hindrance
and a snare in the way Of his chill
dren."
Father Quigley in conclusion says: Il
wish TO express my grateful apprecia-
ton Of the splendid unity and cooper
alton which marks the work of tho
priests and people in this parish. God
grant it may long continue and may
Providence guide our united efforts TO
successful issue for His greater
glory and the good Of our own souls.'
