ing round about, it was faded from
long wear. Some creepers hung over
its top, the only spray of green in the
dreary street where so many human
lives were huddled together. And the
wall sagged under the burden of years
and weight of griefs. For many brok-
en- hearts and hearts of anguish stop
ped at the iron-wrought gate of Our
Lady of Good Counsel; young mothers
that were abandoned, mothers with a
frail pittance of humanity in their
arms, girls fearful at the mazes of the
Icity's iniquities. And the rusted
hinges would swing back to give them
entrance to the sweet-faced nuns with

led to the rooms overhead, where
Patrick Mullaney lived.

long year ago. l had hit upon the
street in it's drab shame and naked

Joseph came from somewhere onto

breathes sometimes, amid the March
decay, the sweet perfume of spring.
When they drew near Lyeki's shop,
the great oak door opened, and Dan
ny, flushed with excitement and with
brow fair from many kneelings at the
communion rail, asked them to come
lin. Eileen was waiting for them on
the first landing of the stairs. Danny
is missionary now, somewhere in
the Philippines, aud Eileen became a
Sister in that nearby convent, and aft
er brief service to Our Lady of
Good Counsel on earth, went as hand
maid to her court, in heaven.
I told Ray to go before me, and
he climbed up the steep stairs and
lopened the door at the top. The
, room was quite simple; a few pictures
on the wall, the table prepared for
| the priests coming. An old lady sat
NEAR the table saying her beads. The
told man lay on his bed, propped up
with pillows; and as l came in he
stretched out his feeble hands to-
wards me-
"Cead mile failthe, Criosde mo

"A hundred thousand welcomes,

Ray knelt down and said the Con-
Ifiteor. Jesus Christ passed from my
unworthy hands into the rich heart
of this lover
Then the old mans mind seemed
to wander. Was it delirium? l have
sometimes doubted since. For he sud-
denly turned to where Ray was kneel-

Have you ever thought that impetuosity
may be the quality you have which stands In

something in a physical way?

long enough to get your bearings, or think
what you want to do and how you are going

who never seem to be in a hurry. accomplish
SO much.

In your hurly-burly routine, Il would be
well for you to stop and think Of the un-

F. c. Munson, president of the

Lawyers by their training and
experience are too likely to be OBJ
structionists, devotees of precedent,
worshipers of the past. Lawyers
are not to be depended upon to sup
ply leadership in changing,
progressive world, where the past
must be put behind and new
,precedents must be made.
Do you suppose that in the Brit

one shipping men, there could be
anything like the obstruction and
delay now being exhibited in the
