Ghost, you are made strong and per-
feet Christians, soldiers of Jesus
Christ. You are to practice your faith.
How? You will be faithful in saying
your morning and evening prayers,
you will hear Mass on Sundays and
Holy days of Obligation, you will OBJ
serve the Commandments of God and
of the Church, you will not eat meat
on Friday; if people ask why, tell
them it is your meatless day; now
they will understand and admire you
for living up to your convictions, true
to your faith"

Dread Of Poverty.

A great deal Of apparent poverty
comes from dread OF poverty. A man
saves every cent and goes mind and
soul hungry and, ten to one, he is
starving somebody else at the same
time, along with himself. He is really
poor, for the time being, although he
has large bank account. Poverty
viii come every time as the result Of
the improper attitude toward money.
Money is not a reality: it represents
things that we consider for our good.
But there is no poverty like that Of
the starved soul that shrinks and
dries up into narrowness and compress
sion. In getting the feeling Of
wealth, look about you. See all the
wonders of nature; believe that won
ders will happen and then get ready
for them. After the days work is
done, build air castles, and then go
In and lay strong foundation under
one OF them. Expect to develop into
efficiency necessary for the bigger job.
The key to this lies in your hands
In doing the little things Well.-pat-
