graves of the fallen heroes OF th'
Catholic Church. The graves of 90.
900 Catholic hero dead are to
consecrated with the symbol of their
religion the cross in order that
pilgrims to the national fields of
honor wherein their bodies will lie
may know OF the spirit of faith
and patriotic sacrifice that animatet
those saviors of democracy. 1t is a
proud honor that Catholics now have
in being called upon to assist in
bestowing that reverential care and
distinction to which the graves Of
our soldier dead are entitled.
To meet the expense of consecrat-
ing each grave and carving a cross
on each Catholic soldiers monu-
ment. a considerable amount of
money will be required. Catholics
everywhere. mindful of the supreme
sacrifice of these brave sons o:
America, should consider IL both
privilege and an honor to contribute
to the fund required for this work.

lie soldiers graves has established
an ONCE at the headquarters of the
National Catholic Welfare Council

Cardinals Last Advice.
Young man. expect great things.
Expect great things of God: great
things of your fellow men and OF
yourself. Expect great things
America. For great opportunities
are ahead; greater than any that
have come before. But only those
who have the courage and the vision
to expect them will profit when they
ccme.
81 have lived almost three times
as long as the average age of your
readers. I have watched men climb
up to success. hundreds of them:
and of all the elements that are i'm
portant for success, the most i'm
portant Is faith. No great thing
comes to any man unless he has
courage, even in dark days. to ex-
pect great things: to expect them
of himself and OF his fellow men.
OF America and OF God.
