on devotion to st. Joseph-the patron
of the universal church. Daily, there
fore, after holy mass, will the prayers
in honor Of ST. Joseph, as ordered by
the holy father, be publicly recited.

spend that day as best we can, and
in our devotions both public and priv
ate, invoke the aid of our Mighty De-
fender in the fight we must wage
against the powers of darkness.
Let me exhort all, both priests and
people, to unite in prayer, not only
during lent, but at all times and sea-

ColIection on SUNDAY,


On the first Sunday OF lent the an
nual collection for the propagation of
the faith will be taken up in this
diocese, and the offerings are to be
sent to the chancery Office No. 1897
Brady street, Davenport, as soon
thereafter as possible. This collec-
ton is very important one, and l
trust that you will make a strong eff
fort to impress its Importance upon
your people. The success of this col
lection will depend very largely upon
the way you, Rev. Father, present it
to your people. II presented In an
Indifferent way, they will respond in
an Indifferent way; but, II you hold
up to them their calling of lay-apos-
ties, and impress upon them the duty
of alms-giving, insisting upon the
many spiritual benefits gained by
such an act of charity, then those.
who have always given. will give
more, and those who In the past have
never given, will certainly be moved
I to be generous. Thus, will the Of
fering Of 1914 for the propagation OF
the faith surpass those Of the preced-
ing years. In this holy season OF
penance, prayer and aims giving, no
offering is more pleasing to God
than that which helps to secure for
souls the blessings Of redemption.
Unfortunate souls, who know not God,
claim our charity at all times, but es-
pecially does the missionary cause
come home to our hearts in this
holy time, when we commemorate
the infinite sorrows and sacred saliva
ton of Him, who died for the saliva
ton of all. May the Divine Savior Of
mankind prosper your appeal, and
cause the seed to fall upon good soil
and thus bring forth fruit a hundred
fold!
