At The Churches
st. James Catholic Church

second Sunday in Lent, March /.
Large crowds took advantage of the
opportunity of hearing the word Of
/ God and of acquainting themselves
with the teachings of the Catholic
church, on important questions
! from within the Catholic church,
and not from professional religious
trouble makers, during the Lenten

and other ambitions of human life.

body. What a consolation it is to
the soul to give some part of its life
of God, to turn aside from the
frivolous things of life to those
of eternity, which after all is
the one real purpose of Iife--the
