Moran | Ordinarily replies to cables do come in the course of about two weeks. O1 l course, there are tremendous difficul- ties in getting prompt information al a time like this, and I realize how hard it is for people to understand the situation. There are thousands O. inquiries going through this bureal each week in regard to men in tht service, and we do the very best VI can. We.are doing the best we cal III this case; and there is really noth ing further that I can do to reliev the situation. We have both writer and sent a cable, and without question our representatives in France are do ing everything that they possibly cal to get the information that is so mucl desired. 1 certainly hope that it vii come in a very short time, and I hop that his parents will be as patient a they possibly can.
 I want to assure you and them tha this bureau will do everything 1t ca to be of assistance in gettiAg this in formation-and yet, all must realiz that there are great many thing that may delay reports.
 Very sincerely yours,

PARABLE OF SAMARITAN
Typifies True charity-Theme of Ser
 mon by Rev. MyIes P. Calvin.

The gospel read in all the masses in the Catholic churches of the world Sunday, the twelfth Sunday after 2en- tecost, was the parable of the Good Samaritan, Luke x. 23-27. At the 1O3o mass in St. Patrick's church, Rev. Myles P. Calvin preached from this gospel as an example of that charity which is pleasing to God. and which implies love of God.
 Charity should be unselfish, as was that of the Samaritan who could look forward to no reward. It should be active. Saint John the Evangelist, admonishes Christians, Love one an- other, not alone in word and tongue, but in deed and truth" 1t should be universal. manifested toward all men for love of God
