All, what do you think they said,

among the robes, laughed silvery
laugh, and said:

But Sam made no answer just then,
only to jump out and take the feeble
Widow Jones in his strong arms, and
carry her into the little new room

magic that young Harry Preston un-

Something had happened that filled
him with delight. To think, too, it
had all grown out of remark that he
made one morning when the family
came out to see the new kitchen and
milk-room, and Mrs. Preston had said:
Il wonder what we can do with
that old milk-house now. 1t seems
like a friend, it has served us so many
years"
Sam had served them for several
years. and felt very much at home, so
he spoke his thoughts:
ut would make a nice little house
for somebody wish the Widow
Jones had it instead of that old shell
she lives in.
That had been the beginning of It.
He did not know that Mrs. Preston
heard him, for she turned toward the
little house at the foot of the snowy
lawn and said not word, for at least
five minutes; then she said

idea of yours, Sam. I'll think about
it"

We hear many complaints about the
lack of opportunity for young people
today. There never was a time in the
history of the United States when the
chances for leadership were so many
and so tempting as at the present
time. This is particularly true where
Catholic leadership is concerned. The
Church has emerged from the war, her
prestige remarkably enhanced. That
the moral leadership of the world is
hers, is an unquestioned fact, observes
the True Voice. Will our young men
and women grasp the significance of
this fact and prepare themselves to
demonstrate the qualities of moral
greatness which their religion incul-

is that, when possible, they desire their

RELIGIOUS TRAINING.

During the past half century, and
previously, the Catholic voice of this
country has been persistently heard
protesting a morally destructive feat
ure of our public system of education.
Throughout this period, down to a
rather recent date, it was the only
voice heard in opposition. That voice
called courageously and constantly
for the religious element in public ed
ucation 1t contended that to divorce
religion from education, as had been
done, was certain to result in a new
Paganism quite as degrading morally
and socially as the old. 1t further
contended that God-excluding secular
list schools were bound to beget re-
ligious Indifference, skepticism and
atheism, says the Monitor.
Thereupon it was falsely charged
that Catholics were opposed to the
public schools and were seeking to
destroy this valuable American insti-
tuition. That lie has never been
throttled On the contrary, it has been
converted into dollars by bigotry, and
in some places even now precludes
Catholics from employment in these
schools.
The truth is Catholics do not now
and never have opposed a system OF
free schools supported by general
taxation. Nor is there anything in
our religious belief compelling an
tagonism to such system. What we
are opposed to is system of public
schools which is deformed; which
does not respect the equal civil and
religious rights of all citizens; which,
