The boost spirit was urged by the
speaker who reviewed the work done
in the war drives and referred to the
present membership drive that has
for, its goal million members this
year in the United States. He urged
that as the K. Of &C.. has been spread
ing the gospel as well as high stand
ards of living among Catholic men, it
should seek souls for God. He asked
that while every member bring in
another member for the order, he also
strive to bring two souls to God. To
stop now and rest on laurels already
won, would be to deteriorate and sink
into uselessness. 1t would be failing
in the high mission of the ordoe were
its members to stop now, said he.

In one of the most scholarly adj

charged them with their duty that is
more apparent than ever to fight the
