the investor except pure interest.

THE PRAYER OF BROTHERHOOD.

No man liyeth unto himself, not
even when he enters his closet and
closes the door to pray. Not my
Father, but our Father, must be his
prayer, everyone praying for all and
all for everyone" as Cardinal Bellar-
min said. No one may ever hope to
find God save as he seeks Him In the
great communion Of humanity. Only
when he resolves to share the fate
of all his fellows, light or no light,
heaven or no heaven, do the heavens
open and the light Of God shine round
about him.

in His life He carried the logic OF love
TO its ultimate truth. and II we be His
followers we must go and do likewise.
