LIFE IN

A Bitten Pays a Lonely Visit

For several days recently we
had a grumpy visitor on our
ponds edge. He came silently,
and he remained to himself
spurning the company of a trio
of ducks that paused to break
their fight to northern nesting
grounds.
Our visitor was an American
bittern, and he was the first we
had seen. The bird books. how

not an unusual event.

then he would take a very slow
step. keeping close to the edge
Of the pond. I believe he circled
the pond once while he was
with us.
He seemed to pay us no atten-

rather expect he found good eat

he said, whereas the convict

Even though those who come
in contact with prisoners would

this would not be in line with the

Holy Father:
Church Work
Brings Pain,
Strength

VATICAN CITY-Radio, NC)---
The person who disregards per-
sonal interest in working for the
Church will surely meet difficult
ties, but will also receive special
strength from God.
This advice was given by His
Holiness Pope Plus XII in a spec
ial audience granted to about $50
members of the Society of the
Helpers of the Holy Souls, whose
founder, Blessed Mary of Prov
idence Eugene SmeD, was beati-
fled on May 26.
The Pope extolled the life and
virtues of Blessed Mary of Prov
idence, stressing her. charity and
life of sacrifice for the suffering
souls in purgatory.
Recalling the foundation of the
Helpers of the Holy Souls by the
blessed, the Pope then pointed
out that while the congregation
was spreading in Europe and
abroad, its foundress was Giving
her own Calvary, suffering the
merciless tortures of disease"
Whoever acts in this way, with
disregard of all personal inter.
ests and forms of selfishness," he
added, "dedicating himself to the
work of universal salvation, will
know suffering and tribulation in
the, same way as did Mary OF
Providence. But he will also have
the unshakeable certainty of him
who depends upon the strength OF
God Himself, and awaits with
humble faith the hour of limitless
triumph"
Present at the audience were
Mother Mary of the Cross, SUI
perior General of the Helpers oi
the Holy Souls, and superiors and
representatives of the congrega
tons houses all over the world
The Helpers of the Holy Souls
are represented by almost zoe
