UNGODLY MAY FLOURISH,
PARABLE EXPLAINS WHY

Gods ways are not mans ways, said
the rector of st. Patrick S church, Rev.
John Fl. Broderick, preaching at the
730 o'clock low mass Sunday morning,
which explains why so many men ap-
pear to prosper in this world, although
their lives are a scandal, they lead
others into sin, they i,reak the COM
mandments of God and of His church.
The preachers theme was the lesson
to be deduced from the gospel for the
Sunday, the fifth after Epiphany
from st. Matthew, xiii $3.50, the para
BILE of the cookie and the wheat
The field referred 20 in the parable
is the world, and the wheat is the
hearts of men, in which God has i'm
planted the seeds Of grace, . ing to
each mortal the opportunity to pre-
duce a harvest worthy of the Etnrnal
Householder. But Col has an enemy,
the Evil One Who is ever sowing in
the field of the wocll the se9'ls CT
cookie, the weeds of sin, which appar-
emily grow as thriftilv is do the good
seed.
Of the fate of both che scripture
tells: Let both grow together until the
harvest, and at the time IF tie harvest
will say unto the re1Ders: Gather
up first the cookie and bind il in hun
dies to burn, but the wheat gathe4, into
my barns.
The sermon was an admooition 10
those of worthy disposIricr who, fail
ing perhaps, may grow discouraged
and impatient at the worldly success
of the ungodly, to keep faith in the
promises of the Saviour that the day
of reward for both mus ONE, and to
persevere in the effort to make the
sheaves of their earthly harvest wor-
thy to be gathered into Gods eternal
mansions.
The epistle for the Sunday was St
PauPs words to the Coloss.ans, iii
! 12-17. AIN ugh the early morning was
snowy and forbidding, there were sc
many at this first mass to receive holy
communion that Rev. Father Brodericl
required the assistance OF Rev. MyleE
! P. Calvin in administering the Euchar-
list.

letter from r. E. Gardner, Foochow
College: "Ne0lin Soles have solved the

out quickly on the rocky roads here,

Them" he writes.
Where other soles fail, Ne6lin Soles
always stand the test of hard wear and
rough usage. This fact points the way
to economy. Buy Ne6lin- soled shoes
for the whole family, and so save shoe
money. Ard have Neolin Soles put on
