FeaCe or NoSs
 We are facing new conditions whether we remain at peace or not, said Joseph T. Tanning in an address | at the regular monthly meeting of the | St. Josephs Sodality, held Sunday | afternoon in their rooms on Shetuck- | ct street. President Thomas Bren- | nan presided at the meeting and there was a large attendance of members.
 The committee in charge of the l outing club reported progress in that | line and the regular routine business | was transacted.
 MT. Tanning said in part
 The attractions of mythology were invoked by great Latin poet to in Stluct us that long before the begin | ming of the Christian era while | Carthage was a nice and f1ourishing city on the northerly coast of Afri- | ca. across the sea from Italy. its destiries were guarded and directed by the goddess Juno. It was dear est 10 her of all the places over which l i. waa said. her watchful care was ex- cTci@ed. being preferred even to Sa- mos. where she was Eorn.

 when they came to the United States | with only the two weapons of unre-
 mitting industry. and adherance to 1 their religion. Here was the TO-
 nance of personal honesty and unpre- | tent1ouS living, Ornamenting their am- | b1tIon to do good. to render justice l and to provide for their children ad- l rantages which circumstances denied ! to themselves.
 We loved to read of many poor bur ] ambitious youths of our country who | after their days work, in their humble abodes or under guidance and instruc- tion at night schools, wrestled with fate for the reward of prosperity and | llVIlOI. HInR Ol the busy COllerS In
 our own community who for long per 1ods. sometimes exceeding a half cen l tury, day after day, have labored in the same employment, faithful to their
 families, their employers, their city and the state. turning the dross of
 humble living into the pure gold of a noble character At the bench of the
 carpenter, in the factory before the
 furnace, in the shop and on the farm the struggle for an honorable living
 has been fought out with heroic per-
 severence. How we rejoice when we
 learn through the press that some
 faithful workman, after thirty, forty
 or more years of toll, is to be pension
 ed by an appreciative employer as a
 reward for a continuous faithful ser
 vice, which has within dit an inspira- ton which no suggestions of fiction
 could equal We may not know the
 individual, We may never have heard his name spoken before, but everyone
 loves hero, and there Is no hero more
 genuine than the one who has been
 crowned by the genius of honorable
 industry. These benefits come with
 the other blessings of peace; but at
 the sound of the war trumpets there
 Is hushed the music which comes from
 the civilians toll and faith and perse- vering hope, and all things are devoted to the requirements of impending con-
 htct. The romance of past life is for
