"One of the great needs Of the United
States is to increase and foster the re-
spect for parental authority in the minds
Of the children" said Cardinal Gibbons,
in his sermon yesterday afternoon at St.
AIMS Church. where he administered the
sacrament Of confirmation to a class
of no.
The duty of children to parents is re-
spect and obedience, and If this obedience
is fostered in the minds OF children 1t
is firm foundation for their respect for
the law. The life Of our institutions de-
mands respect
Cardinal Gibbons said that the chief
reason for Christians to rejoice in the
Lenten season was their brotherhood to
which have been received through the
Scriptures.
