IcitiZenS:
Five years have passed since |
learned to know you and since |
have labored for your welfare in
particular and for the uplift of
your race i'll general. This has es-
peclally been done by means of
our boarding and day school in
charge of the Sisters of Notre
Dame. No one is better fitted for
education and teaching your chill
dren than such "cligious women
who prompted and assisted by
God S grace have left home and
frequently country to consecrate
their lives to God to work for the
good of their fellow men. They
are mothers as we'll as teachers in
regard to your children. If YOU
wish to see good men and noble
women among your race, You must
give special attention to your chill
dren, for experience as we'll as
faith teaches the future man or
women will be what the boy or the
girl is today. To train children.
religion, which is the foundation
of true morality must be divorced
as little from the school rooms as
from the home. Hence the Pagans
rs well as the Hebrews of old had
no schools without religious in
IStruction. All real goodness lies
IN loving God above all things and
our neighbor as ourselves for His
sake. We cannot reasonably ex-
pect people to love God unless the
children are taught to love Him.
Hence the necessity of having rei-
glon III the Sch0l as well as in the
home. The school has the purpose
TO help the home to educate chill
dren properly. 1t is gratifying to
know that so many colOred people
realize this necessity and are
therefore anxious to send their
children to st. Benedict the Moor
school, 3l5- 9th St, founded for
the purpose Of teaching not only
most efficiently the 3 RS but also
the R-religion. The sad fact is,
that there is not yet sufficient room

come, yet we hope soon to have.
with tlfe aid Of lovers of true
Christian charity larger accommo-
dations. Meanwhile we give
preference to the children of the
Icity of Milwaukee. Mothers who
Iare obliged to work and have
small children may have them
cared for during the day at the
mission. If parents wish to see
their children properly trained at
school they must be careful to
set them the good example at
home.
Since God has set aside one day
III the week for man to refresh his
soul by hearing the word Of God
and attending divine service, par
ents should rot fail to accompany
their children to church on Sun
/ day ar" lIolydayS and if people
have no chliu en- they owe this OBJ
! legation no less to God for their
own soul and to their fcllowmen.
All are cordially invited to attend
/ divine services at St. Benedict the
Moor church, 305 9th st. The or
der Of services is as follows:
On Sunday at $40 and at 10
"A. M. and 7 40 p. m. in July and

The weekday services are at
G:30 a. m. with the exception Of
TUESDAY and Wednesday when
they are at 8 a. m Every Friday
night at 7;45, Stations Of the
Cross and Bcnediotion.
Though it is better for people
to seek their amuscmcnts in their
own home, yet owing to the fact
that mmy have no real home or
space enough for family gather
ings the home al 9l5 Prairie st.
will be open for social purposes
every Sunday and Tuesday night.
Wishing you all the blessing Of
God,
remain, Faithfully yours
in Christ
