Day by da,y parents and children are confronted with the great problem of life: "Wino, shall 1 do with My boys or my girls?" is asked by the parents. "What shall i dos:- says a boy ur a girl. This is what Bishop Spalding says: "How shall I live? How shall I make the most of life.' How shall I become a man and do a man's work? This and not politics or trade or war or pleasure is the question. The primary consideration is not how one shall get a living, but how he shall live, for if he live rightly, ,011.tte ',el' is nceutul he snail easily and. Life is opportunity. and therefore its whole circumstances may be made to serve the purpose of those who are beat on self-improvement, en making themselves capable of doing
thorough work." And work it is that wins.' Any other way of winning is unworthy of consideration. A. true man would not want to win in any other way. Life is full of opportunities to labor. and the willing worker is sure of success. Such a work -r has never failed, never will fail. By all this neither the Bishop nor anyone means to counsel a cloddish indifference to progress and material prosperity' On the contrary, he would counsel aspirations high as heaven. is it a law student who listens': Put your ideals high as were thos. of i2ierco, Sir Thoruas Moore, John Marshall.

Be the best blacksmith. But if God has so endowed you, read, write, think and study till the work of an Elihu Burritt, with his wonderful knowledge of languages, is inferior to yours. Are you a carpenter ur craftsman of any kind? All lidak,, the most of every moment. that the world has done is within reach of you. Bee -like, go to the gardens of the gods, filled by the full, fair flowerings of genius, and pluck, get seed, sow it then in your own soul. But look to it well that thou goest to the best.-"New World. -

It was certainly a good messenger who brought the news to your house that Ayer's Sarsaparilla makes the blood "rich and red." This means
so much to those who are thin, pale, feeble, weak, and nervous. After Ayer's Sarsaparilla has cured you, carry the glad message to a friend or neighbor. Perhaps you suffer from the effects of a warns climate. Prolonged. warm weather seriously impairs the strength of limey people. The digestion is slow, and the liver becomes sluggish. Impurities in the blood accumulate and cause that feeling of downheartedness and depression.
This important event is due to the energletic efforts of Father Guiraud under whose care the church here is daily gaining in strength and num-
