These undertakings are the best evil
dence we can give to the world that we
are firm in the faith and answering in
our devotion to the cause of our country
and those who have joined with US. 1t
will prove that we are single-minded and
that we know no dividing lines in cases
where the general welfare is to be con-
sidered.
Il would therefore impress upon the
clergy of the archdiocese that they do all
in their power to further the work, to
the end that these bonds may be fully
subscribed l would suggest that on next
