Father Calvin preached on the true
reason for the Joy Of Christmastide, Civ
ing the simple rule and practical reso-
lutions by which this joy can continue in
mems lives throughout the year just be-
gun. The Saviour has taught that whose
would follow Him must observe a two
fold commandment, Ire. love Of God and
love of neighborE Love Of God can be
demonstrated by keeping from sin, by
faithful attendance at holy mass and by
frequent reception of communion. Thus
loving Ged, man cannot possibly do any
thing else butt love his neisl1bor. since
! true love of God implies love for. every
one created in the image of Goa--noi
alone friends but enemies also. The
| preacher pointed out that this love Of
neighbor could well be exemplified by gen.
erous contribution to the collection nexi
