The thought IL full OF sorrow;
The good / ought to do today
may not do tomorrow.
II this moment shall withhold
The help I might be giving
Some soul may die, and I shall lose
The sweetest Joy of living.
Only the present hour Is mine

In which to speak kindly word
Or help a fallen brother.
The path of life leads straight

The daily record which I make
Will stand unchanged forever.
To cheer and comfort other souls
And make their pathways
brighter;
To lift the load from other hearts
And make their burdens lighter.
This is the work we have to do
It must not be neglected,
That we improve each passing hour
Is of us all expected.

May I my life and service give
To Him who reigns forever.
Then will the failures of the past
No longer bring me sadness,
And His approving smile will fill
My heart with Joy and gladness.

"Will you be a founder? Will
you help us to build hospital on
the frontier of Catholic civilization?
A hospital is greatly needed here
and would make our holy religion

our backs. We are undertaking this
work in a missionary diocese, trust

brethren. Your assistance will do
worlds of good-especially If sent at
once, as our project is hanging in

of God, to succeed and be the means
of ministering to Christ's suffering
members and in a manner conquer

day to Hear DR..

A large and appreciative audience
greeted DR.. A. r. Blot Monday
night at Mackin Council club house,
when he delivered a most interesting
and instructive discourse on the
subject of Preventive Medicines"
From the moment of his introduc-
ton to the close he was given the
closest attention, and by many the
address was pronounced the best
yet heard in the club house. Presi-
dent Robertson occupied the chair
and dispatched the business with
alacrity. The members were urged
to bestir themselves in securing can
didates for the coming initiation,
and two more were added to the
arrangements committee. All pres
ent were requested to attend the
special meeting Wednesday night
for the consideration of the night
class proposition. Mackin Social
Club reported that their dances
were all that could be desired, and
also informed the members that
they might secure invitations for
their friends and relatives.

LATEST IN sTLYEs.

Royal purple is decidedly modish.
Figured materials trim the newest
coat models.
Some of the new waists have the
peplum extension.
Dark blouses are trimmed with
mousseline de sole.
Panel effects are still much in
evidence in skirtdom.
Lace is much used as ruffles on
skirts of evening frocks.
Ratin Is one of the favorite cloths
for skirt and coat costumes.
Many of the newest evening coats
are made with a single seam.
We see fringes on skirts, TUNES,
sashes, collars, cuffs and hats.
TUNES are longer at the back than
the front and elaborate embroidery
and fringe are used to decorate them.
The new models show high
waisted effects on skirts and slightly
shortwaisted effects on coats and
cloaks.
A few cape collars are being
shown on auto coats, but these Will
not be in the height of their fashion
until later in the season.
In street coats the regulation
sleeve still prevails, but many novel
effects are produced by the trimming
OF the cuffs, which are made u
correspond with the collar.

BISHOP AND ALTAR BOY.

Once an altar boy was invited TO
call on the Bishop. who was a very
kind man. The little boy felt afraid
and embarrassed, not knowing how
to act or what TO say. Carefully,
very carefully, he brushed his clothes
and polished his shoes, and took
good care not TO soil them on the
way. The Bishop received him very
kindly, and noticing how clean he
had kept HIS shoes, said 10 him:
''Why my dear boy, how could
you keep your shoes so clean when
the roads are so muddy"
ooh. was very careful to pick
my way"
''But this morning your shoes
we're soiled when you served mass. +"
yes; but did not know that the
Bishop would be there, or l would
have cleaned them before"
''And do you not know, my dear
boy, that when you serve mass you
are before far greater Lord than /
am-before God himself, surrounded
by thousands OF angels? Why did
you not have your shoes IN good con-
dItioH7"
The little boy burst into tears.
