"Third, he has classified the whole parish as follows: The children attending at-tending the public schools, those attending at-tending the academy, those attending the college, the young people at home not under salary, the hired help, the young men and women who are clerks or hookkeeners. the school teachers railroad people, merchants, professional profession-al men, doctors, lawyers: manufacturers, manufac-turers, capitalists or those living on their income and the good men acd women of the house. In the classification some of you are' hit pretty hard, as you ure under three indictments; many of you unoer two. all under one. The pastor vants the child to save the m'ckel and oucr it to God, and the older ones to make greater sacrifices. He asks all to assist as-sist generously; all he can offer is his life.
