It did mot portray tb* advantages

Most of us pride ourselves on the

But do we? In the more Important
relations of life we certainly do not.
The two most vital matters affect-

religion and hi* politics. Does he do
his own thinking efbout these? Hard-
ly.

nominations. In the case of Catho
Mcs. practically 100 per cent will be
found to have had parents of that

Then, do we really think for aur-
skives? In minor matters, perhaps
but In the moat vital things of life
we follow blindly the beliefs and con-

The lesson to be drawn from
