Day on Our city calendar: Feb
ruary the Sixth"
ITO a certain hermitage of the
friars near Borgo, San Sepolcro,
begging for bread came some rob-
bers, who laid in wait in the
woods for passing travellers to
despoil them. Some of the friars
maintained it was not fitting to
give them aims, while others out
of pity relieved them, hoping thus
to move them to repentance.
Meanwhile Blessed Francis (of
Assisi) came to that place, whom
the friars asked if it were right to
give them aims, and Blessed
Francis answered: If you do as
l tell you, confding in God, you
shall gain their souls. Go, there
fore, and take with you good
bread and good wine to the woods
where they dwell, and calling to
them say: Brother robbers,
come to us who are your broth
ers, and who bring you good
bread and good wine" When
they come, spread a white cloth
on the ground, and place thereon
the bread and wine, and serve
them humbly and cheerfully while
they eat. When they have eat
en-, speak to them the word of
God, and at the end, beg them for
the love of God as your first petit
ton, that they will promise you
not to kill or wound anyone; for
if you ask too much of them at
first they will not listen to you,
but this much for the sake of your
humility and charity they will
promise you. Then another day,
because of their good promise,
take with the bread and wine eggs
and cheese, and serve them as be-
fore while they eat. And when
they have eaten, say to them
"Why do you stay here to die of
hunger and suffer so many hard
ships in order to do evil in will
and deed, for which you will lose
your souls unless you are con-
verified to the Lord? Better is it
to serve the Lord who in this
world will give you all you need
for your bodies and finally save
your souls" Then, inspired by
the Lord, thew will be converted,
because of the humility and pa
tience you have shown them
"The friars did all that Blessed
Francis had told them, and these
robbers, by the grace and mercy

of God, listened to them, and OBJ
served literally and in every point
all things the friars had humbly
begged of them. And further, be-
cause of the humility and kind
ness of the friars, they humbly
served the friars, carrying wood
for them to the hermitage, and
some amongst them entered the
order. Others, confessing their
sins with true repentance, made
promise into the hands of the
friars to live thenceforth by the
labor of their hands and never
more commit the like Offences"
(From St. Francis Mirror of Per-
fiction.
Have you all met DR.. Collins?
he told us he had been here but
four months and he is so nice and
friendly it seemed as if we must
have known him for years-just
like one of the family. You all
know that some come to Hawaii
and fit in like bit of mosaic into
the common plan-no fuss and no
fault-hnding - all serene, so to
speak.
There's Mr.. Gait, why we hap
pened by good fortune to step in
his office and the gentleman said,
"My names Gait and | want to
subscribe for the Times" All so
natural-like and easy. Oh, there
is nothing like having that genius
(geniD termed tact"
1t is worth a fortune to any
business man-in fact to any one
that must face the world To be
friendly and CHEEKY and kind; all,
how it helps in this our world
where men and women even at
the best, must meet often and
combat, trials and sorrow!
1t is not the money always, but
pleasing gracious manners go so
far. Manners makyth we man"
indeed. And verify, "tact" is a
word of many syllables!
But these two gentlemen are
only twins to many others.
There's Mrs. Taylor, "Now, go
and find Mrs. P. one of the best
roses" and so we came off with
three regal beauties and an ele-
giant calendar.
