Cardinal OConnell, addressing the Boston diocesan
branch of the Federation of Catholic Societies, is
quoted as saying:
And when the truth is known then all the world
will realize that for the sake of our public honor
nation must put end to the Masonic
conspiracy which for two years has deluged Mexico
with blood drained the material resources of that
country and spread atheism and anarchy a
further suspicion of what has been more than
openly asserted, that the leaders of this an
archy are receiving underhand support from this
country; but let Catholic men continue to in
vestigate the truth of conditions and then stand
Tor that truth in all their might until every word and
entenoe of its revelation is heard in Washington
This suggestion concerning the troubles in
Mexico comes from high source. The intimation
5 plain that conditions exist which are not but
hould be, known to the administration The United
States is not yet through with Mexico All the light
oossible the situation should be welcomed and in

But there are those among the successful who
can't sacrifice to themselves in this way They
know that, even while they give money, the misery
goes on together with the waste N the way of fine
human qualities among the disinherited that might
make for the benefit of society and for the gen.
era happiness. Their enjoyment OF the soft places
is marred, perhaps spoiled by the ught of those
others Several people of this kind | have known,
all the more interesting for being uncommon.
The sense of their helplessness adds to their de-
preston. They sometimes ask what right they have
to be happy, when so many of their felIow-beings
exactly like them in flesh and blood and spirit, who
want to be good just as they do or who would
want to be good if given fair encouragement, are
doomed to suffer day in and day out condemned to
poverty with all the heart-breaking complications
often to be found growing out of poverty, to minds
darkened with ignorance, to broken health and to
MANNED character.

from William James, that the instart have a
generous emotion ought to give outlet If
we don't give it outlet, let it Lecome a mere
indulgence. II go about greving over the poor
and do little nothing for the poor, make
