 Intolerance
 Father Redmond spoke on "In- | tolerance and Liberalism" and re- called the strike that the students I in the different colleges held a few weeks ago but he pointed out that | none of the Catholic students or colleges participated in the strike.
 He urged the men present to keep | illicit books and literature from their children and to uphold the
 Legion of Decency and not let their
 children see pictures that were not | fit to be seen. Father Redmond
 said that there are too many books being printed that are not fit to be read and that it is up to the people I now to refrain from buying them
 and letting young boys and girls read them.
