1t Is truly a life of sacrifice
that Is lived by these good women.
Their needs are Of the simplest

dry bread and vegetables, with
meat only three times a week. On
Fridays the nuns of st. Bernard
eat their meals while kneeling.
All worldly thoughts are put
aside. All worldly pleasures and
even the simplest comforts they
renowned.
Every breath these women
breathe Is devoted to work and
prayer. They do not even COM
munlcate with each other. There
Is no transference Of ideas nor
posslolhty OF sweet friendships
which often develop in such a
clustered place.
Eacn nun lives her own life,
doing her own work and thinking

SOUND except in the chapel when
they pray.

france and gaze in awe at the
silent sisters" of st. Bernard.

WORDS FROM
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

A ' ss'7sS, man : %
Nothing is terrible except fear.
Consistency is the foundation Of
virtue.
Man seeks in society comfort,
use and protection.
Virtue, if she could be seen.
would move great love and affec-
ton.
AS a dance is a measured pace,
a verse is a measured speech.
The reverence Of a mans self
is, next to religion, the chiefest
bride of all vices.
Let fierce contending nations
know what dire effects from civil
discords flow.
Music, the greatest good that
mortals know
And all Of heaven we have below.
Joseph Addison.
The man forget not, though In
rags he lies,
And know the mortal through a
crowns disguise.
Mark Akenside.
Music exalts each joy, allays
each grief,
Expels disease, softens every
pain,
Subdues the rage of poison and
OF plague. 80
j. D. Armstrong, NJ. D.
Whosoever has a good pres
ence and good fashion carries
continual letters of recommends
ton.
Who can see worse days than
he who, yet living, follows ut the
funeral of his own reputation?
God first planted a garden and,
indeed, it is the purest Of human
pleasures.
Read not to contradict and con-
flute, nor to believe and take for
granted, nor to find talk and dis
course, but to weigh and con-
slider.
There are night and day,
brother, both sweet things-sun,
moon and stars, brother, all
sweet things. There's likewise
a wind on the heath. Life is
very sweet, brother.
