SILENCE IS HOLY VIRTUE
 SAYS LENTEN pREAcHE

The Virtue of Silence was the theme or the Lenten sermon preached by Rev. Fr. Anseln of the Order of Pas sionists of Boston, at St. Patrfek's church. on Sunday evening. Silence, Rev. Fr. AHselm said, is a virtue a holy virtue that was one of the out standing qualities of Jesus Christ while upon this earth.
 In studying the life of Christ we find that he was ever silent, He told not of His Miracles and He forbade others to tell Of them. When He was before Pontius Pilate He was silent, He maintained silence before Herod, and when the multitudes n1ocked Him He was silent. The silence of the Son of God was virtue virtue that We would do well to possess.
 In your life what part does silence play? Are you always silent when you hear things about your neighbor Do you suffer and bear your burdens in silence? No, you gossip and gab about these things. Gossip is one of the great causes of sorrow in the home. cause of poverty, cause of mis- cry and much suffering is the result of gossip. If we practiced silence there would be less sorrow, less poverty less unhappiness and things would move in greater harmony Souls are AuihCU aliu lIotH6S lIlN6OSO Dy SOBSlQ I This is an age of gossip.
 Women get together and gossip, men come together and revile all thai l g holy simply for their amusement We hear children, eight and nine years l old. cursing and bIaspheming. wht 1 $ to blame for this condition? It i. i the parents who have not learned to bt 1 silent. Something goes wrong ant
 they take the holy name of Christ ana l blaspheme it before their children. They cannot remain silent yet many of them call themselves Christians. Can We imagine Christ gossiping ant fndulging in scandal? No. yet we cal ourselves Christians. What can oti1 CTS think of us when we gossip ant gab and yet we think we are fin | church people. We are scandalizin; all that is good. When Christ spoke i l was in prayer and in asking pardon l for those who knew not what they did | We blame God because we are not "a
 fortunate as our neighbor but do w lever think of keeping silent about ou troubles. There is no greater virtu
 than silence. It is Christianiike an God-like and we should put it int
 practice. Have your lips buttoned an
 when you want to talk unbuttor ther but reflect while you are doing it an
 keep silent. Start now, this week, t
 practice silence. Do not repeat tn
 gossip that you hear, don't tell you
 troubles, don't blaspheme, but practic I tsllence-it is holy virtue
