land, declared the meaning of Chris
tien charity has been forgotten, both
in homes and among nations, in an
address which marked the closing OF
the 40 hours devotions in Sacred
Heart Church last night.
In these days of trials and calami-
ties he said, when the fear OF
war, with its consequent slaughter
of human lives grips all nations. the
peace and love which Jesus Christ
taught the world of His times must
be instilled into the hearts Of men.
We must learn again the meaning
of Christian charity which embraces
the love of God and the love Of our
neighbor: otherwise there can be no
true peace, no love, nor Joy In indi-
vidual lives in homes and family life,
or even among nations"
