The next time you reach for

Thomas Villsnovs. That is one sure
way to keep him in mind, and you
need help, for there are eighty 9TH
pr Thomsses who made the list. St.
Thomas of Villanovs had q lot of
help from his parents along the
way TO sanctity. They were millers,
and although not rich, they always
turned the left over flour into
bread for the neighbors who we're
poorer than they. St. Thomas be-
came an Ahgustinisn and an arch
bishop.

Poor Gal
Some poor gal wrote to me the
other day about her Illustration,
and brother, she had it UP to the
chin. She did it on q two cent card,
so she is proud Of 1t by this time;
she wanted the whole world to
read it. One of her pains was that
she couldn't keep friends. Silly
gal, you don't keep friends, you
make them. If you really want to
make them, they will keep all by
themselves. | can't see why any
one in the state of grace should be
frustrated, for a person like that
is all set at any moment to take
off for the halls of gold. One trou.
Bile that many persons have is that
they ought to make a general con.
fession and get up to date on
grace. Then all they have TO do is
to blend their will with the will OF
God, and they are all set. Why

Would you believe it? Some of
our young high school people are
having it hard already. Delinquent
little psgans are ganging up on
them trying to lead them into sin.

tional, but there are some spots
that are but bad. Good Catholic
boys and girls are getting the heat
put on them because they won't be
accepted until they fracture, break
or pulverize one or more of the
Commandments. A good Catholic
youth should be as superior To
such things as st. Marie Goretti
was and lead the whole pack to
sanctity. The fact of the matter IL
that they should have enough con
fidence in their parents to report
evil goings on to their own par
ents and let the PTA and police Of
ficials clear such scum from the
pond OF the community. Young
America arise.

People who are not sharp enough
enough to hit the bulls eye are
dumb when they keep right or

For Mass Geers
One of my Catholic-mindet
friends sent me some mail with I
neat little leaflet that gives one
something to think about while al
Mass. | think you might like IL

For Travellers, too, just mention

thousand of them in the past foul
weeks, and | feel safer driving
with the thought that some of the
drivers around me have said the
same prayer.
