Whan Hee the fault? Not in dis-
position. surely, but In judgment..
Either we waste so much energy in
forming plans that wo have none left
for execution, or we attempt more
than wo are able to accomplish. The
remedy for the first mistake Iles in
doing rather than dreaming; for the
second in exercising, according to
the advice of St. Francis of Sales,
only one virtue at a time since In-
crease in one means increase In sIL
This master of the spiritual life iug-
gesta^ too. that the virtue selected be
one connected with our particular
duty in life. One such resolution of
definite alm is worth a dozen beauti-
ful intentions. .
Our intention once formed, means
for persevering are at'hand: the re-
newal of purpose each morning; thn
forecasting of the events of the day
that we may be forewarned against
temptation; the evening examination
of conscience, and regular approach
to- the Sacraments.
What if we fall, and fall again?
Perfection is not to be attained In a
day, nor yet in a lifetime. Only in
heaven will blots be made no more.

"The Churth han the right to

It is wail known that very many of

It is to bo noted that the Catholic
clergy, Btabaga and priests are
bound by them laws, not leas but
more than the laity. One of the chief
burdens and aaxlotlea of the Catholic
clergy is to provide for the Catholic
education of thalr people. In striv-

The new Cod* is not silent on this
point Canon 1379 prescribes:
"If Catholls elementary and sec-
ondary schools do not exist. Bishops
must take car* that they be built."
The CathoEs position, then, on the
education qusgtion is clearly outlin-
ed ta the new Code ot Canon Law. It
may be stated tn this way; The edu-
cation of children belong* by natural
and divine law to their parents. This
does not mesa that the parents can
give them any sort of education they
like, or no education If they please
They have the right because they
have the duty to so educate their
children that ttsy may be fit to take

them, and afikhtn the end for which
they came lata the world. Catholic

determined not to fan but to do an
within our power. Even if we nL
ready have heavy burdens, and foel
that our means aro taxed to the limit,
almoot, let us make more persistent
and strenuous efforts.
This is a time tn our history when Mena,
everyone la doing more and giving '
more than they havp ever done be* ,
fore. Can any one ot us feel that we ,
can cousdentioutly say that we have
done enugh, while war and want and
misery otill are abroad In the land?
And we Catholic women have a dou-
ble duty. Not only must we sea to K
that our boys are provided with phy-
sical comforts, but we must know
that they aro given all spiritual help
chat is in our power to give. There-
fore, how can wo dp better than to
lend our every asoiscuice to ocr <
Knights of Columbus, that the great
work of sheltering our Catholic boys
while in the training camps, provid-
ing them with wholesome entertain-
ment, giving them the support and
courage ihnt can only come to them
from their religion, may be contin-
ued. So that, when the day comes
lor them to leave us and to face the
enemy, they will be fortified by the
knowledge that they have not drift-
ed from the moorings of their faith,
but can go forth bravely as only true
Catholic American boys can. There-
fore, I hope to hear soon from the
courts of Texas that pinna are being
laid by which our quota of the gener-
al fund shall be raised.

already establlshetTwar funds, which to degree, and modeut to setf-ef*., not ,hD, „ jhiughter of the inno-
