The world today is restless and
troubled, distressed with a thou
sand cares, fevered with q THOUSAND
anxieties: society Is questioning
its old standards and its old moral
ity, welcoming strange preachers
and stranger doctrines. everywhere
tolerating II not encouraging those
who would pull down the faith and
traditions of tho Catholic Church
and substitute in their stead the
principles and practices and false
ideals Of unbelief.
The Amitie Club. founded on the
one principal of charity toward
each other, cannot fail as 1t has the
stanch backing OF the social lead
ers of the city and has been ap-
proved by many high church OIL
cials. Let us work out these ideals
