Show THE CATHOLIC MOTHER. - "It is out of the ranks of the poor that the great men o"f the world come," said Archbishop O'Con-nell, O'Con-nell, in a recent address to women. "They are the men who bring the true nobility of the earth nobility no-bility of mind and of the soul up to the topmost ranks. It is the Catholic mother who has the true ideal of motherhood. While others are trying to barter their son into some business that will make his life easy in the world, easy, no matter at what cost to the soul, the Catholic mother feels that her child is the child of God and is to be a prince of Christ's kingdom. So she strives to bring up her j child as the Church directs. The task may be hard. but we must be patient and kind. The attitude of Christian mothers should be one of happiness. Yow know how hard life is if we look on the gloomy side. Those who do this always find life miserable. Our rcliffion is one that should make us happy. Let nothing make you forget that God is with you." |
