seals will be sold through the various
branches of the Association, through

bers and promoters of the NJ. A. c. w.
The seals are done in green; they
represent the Easter Lamb holding
aloft a banner upon which the Easter
greeting, Peace be to you is in
scribed. Show that you have a lively
faith in the Lamb of God sacrificed
for our redemption by taking an &C

selling seals, at least by purchasing
some of them. By so doing you will

WHAT is THRIFT?

Before you can practice virtue
you must know what it is. When we
speak of thrifty people we are apt to
picture them living on cheap food, in
cheap quarters, wearing shabby, worn
clothes, having little or no pleasures
and saving every cent possible. But
that is not thrift-far from it. Thrift
is a greater virtue than the mere say
ing of money. Don't forget that.
The prudent man looks ahead and
gets ready. The frugal man lives
carefully and saves persistently. The
economical man spends judiciously
buys wisely and wastes nothing. The
industrious man works hard and saves
hard; the miser boards; but the man
of thrift earns largely, spends wisely
plans carefully, manages economically
and saves.
The virtue of thrift is the most i'm
portant habit you can cultivate, the
most profitable and the most satisfac
tory. You can see what it dOes-it
works here, not hereafter. Waste is
the most costly evil you can tolerate
in your material life. Thrift will gel
you further up LIES ladder than any
other quality, and waste will carry
you down faster.
Thrift of time will do more to give
iyou an education than all the colleges
and thrift of food will make you bet
ter fed than the rich man. Thrift O
money will make you Independent o
the loan shark, the pawnbroker anC
the landlord
You must realize early or late, tina
; if you have one thing worth while YOU
may have to do without other things

HOW THE FIFTH LIVERPOOL
CHANGED ITS NAME.

Goodbye, old "Scruffy Fifth!' It's
the "Fishting Fifth now. ASK any
British soldier who was at Ypres in
the summer of 1917 what they called
the Liverpool Fifth Battalion. Ask a
London Scottie or a Welsh Fusilier;
ask the Bantams or the Ghurkas, for
they were all there, and any one of
them will answer, The Fighting
Fifth is their name, and theyv
earned it," says Tommy Kehoe, the
seventeen-year-od British veteran in
October Boys Life.
From the night we took the three
German trenches at the loss of SO
many of our men we began to hear
that new name, and it wasn't many
days before we were known by it
everywhere. And | can tell you | was
proud of it. | belonged to the Fight
ing Fifth" and the old fighters in the
lines would have to forget that they
called me "the Scruffies' mascot" We
all went about with our chests stick
ing out as if every one of us had won
the V. c.
Now, it's about time, I'm thinking
said big Tom. that since were the
Scruffies no more they should send Us
back where we can get little water
to wash our faces with, to say nothing
of washing all over
And at last we were told that we
were going back to rest billets, and
that every one of us was going to have
a bath. We had been in the front
trenches month, and | know my own
face hadn't been washed in all that
time except. in the muddy water thai
we wallowed in when it rained, fol
clean water was too scarce to use fol-
washing.

WORLDS DEBT TO ATILLA.

Chalons will always rank with the
decisive battles of the world. In this
great set-to between Aryan civiliza-
ton and Tartar despotism, between
the civilization Of brain and culture
and kindness and the rule of brute
force and fanaticism, it was settled
for all time that the former should
prevail. 1t may be interesting to re-
call the fact that it was this same
Hun demon. Atilla, that gave us the
Bride of the Adriatic," Venice, the
most charming city in the world. In
fleeing from Atilla and his Huns, the
distracted inhabitants sought safety
midst the lagoons where now stands
the City of the Sea- Slowly Venice
rose out of the waters, becoming more
and more lovely as the years passed
until finally she stood forth the thing
of beauty we hope she will remain for
ever.

Father Louis Asseray, P. F. M,
writes from Kon-Tam:
Bishop Jeanningros. coadjutor of
our vicar apostolic Bishop Grangeon)
has just spent two months in our
mountains, during which time he ad-
ministered 1000 Combinations. l re-
ceived him in my poor hut and with a
few of our brethren we had a frugal
meal, seated on mats on the floor, for
/ haven't room enough for table.
However, nobody put his feet in the
Dishes There is great wretchedness
here. We are being ruined by con
stantly depreciating currency and the
excessive cost of everything is becom-
ing more and more disturbing. Such
a situation and it's immediate conse-
quences naturally tend to whiten the
hair of all who are not as bald as
am.

EFT ERNITY.

A careworn lad leaned on an old
mans knee,
And gazing up into his wrinkled
face,
He asked how long eternity would be
And just how fast or slow it's pace.
The very thoughts the old man
dreamed were read,
And from his breast there rose Il
heavy sigh
AS unto space, with gaze fixed straight
ahead,
In solemn voice he gave back this
reply:
If only once in every million years
A little bird with weary fright
From out this earthly vale of human
tears
And by massive silent sea alight
To drink fast few drops, the rest tC
shun,
Until another million years dragged
by,
Eternity would hardly have begun
When that small bird had drunk the
whole seas dry.
