sales manager and national direct
tor of the VSL. "In seven months

diverse methods of determining

commission has pointed out, add

The most equitable method, the
commission states, would be to
have the passenger, on leaving the
taxicab, pay the regular meter fare
only from the point where a pas

When two or more passengers
leave the cab at the same place
only one fare should be charged

THE LITTLE WAY
When Ste. Therese, the Little
Flower, lay dying she said: Il feel
that my mission is soon to begin,
to make others love God as I love
Him to teach souls my little
way
What is the little way?' 1t is
the way of spiritual childhood, the
way of trust and absolute self-sur-
render. 1t is life that is lived for
God alone and in which nothing is
too big or too small to offer Him.
1t applies to the tiniest details of
ordinary life and sometimes the lit
tie offerings are really the greatest
for 1t Is hard to be faithful over small
things for they are rarely praised
and they offer little opportunity for
self-satisfactlon. The small daily
sacrifices made In secret with God
made the little way of the Little
Flower the Royal Road of the Holy
Cross But those same small sac
rifices, as she has pointed out, are
within the reach of all and may be
turned by all to Gods honor and
glory and our sanctification.
THE CHALLENGE
The little way of this great lit
tie saint is an everyday challenge
for us. We are accustomed to sit
back and admire the great deeds Of
the saints and TO console ourselves
with the thought that If we lived In
another age we too might have had
the courage to be saints and mar
tyrs. But would we? If We would
sincerely, then we would now be will
ling to follow the "little way" OF
trust In God which led this saint
to the highest sanctity and which Is
within the reach Of all of us.
The whole life of Ste. Therese Is
challenge to the criterion Of world
ly values. An unknown and obscure
French girl entered an unknown
Carmelite convent at the age of fiji
teen and died at the age Of twenty
four. During her short life the few
who knew her hardly even appre-
ciated her. Yet within O few years
after her death people all over the
world were clamoring for her ca
nonization. Today statues OF her
are to be seen In churches all over
the world and this little nun who
never left the convent enclosure has
been made the Patroness of the
Catholic Missions throughout the
world
