Hero, also our ieacher prepares fha lessons for The noxf clay. The religious iies ihai bind fhe Broihers 'ro 'rheir labor of love bind ihem also in devoiion 'ro iheir scholars.

His inferesi in ihe needs of his scholars inspires all his work, and he applies io himself 'rhose words of Jesus Chrisi. Suffer children io come io me. Their problems become his problems: iheir sorrows are his sorrows: when ioy and mirih dance in Their eyes, ihe dazzle cannol buf capiivaie his also. ln becoming all 'rhings +o all his scholars ai all iimes, he forges ahead mindful of his ideal and purpose- Lei 'this mind be in you which was also in Jesus Christ The ideal which ihe Broiher seis for himself is ihe some for which he labors in his scholars. 1-if -?-
