efllleell Aermorw - . . . We had the advantage of having for our Retreat Master Reverend Ioseph Fontaine, a Missionary of La Salette very Well versed in the difficulties that confront the modern youth. The theme of his preaching rested on the Decalc- gue as the norm to the right Way of life. God, being our Creator and the dis- penser of all good things, should hold the first place in our lives, at all times, next should come our parents who hold l-lis place by us: in Whatever position we may be, nothing can dispense us of the obligation of respecting and hon- oring them. nnuai ETR REVEREND IOSEPH FONTAINE, Retreat Master Our neighbor is Gods creature and dear in His sight: We are bound to re-- spect his life, his body, his goods. The retreat Master stressed especially the respect of body which is ever more trampled down by the so-called mod- ern generation and disregarded out- right by our legislature on the ground of humanitarian reasons, as exemplified by our divorce courts. To combat evil effectively We must strike at the very roots which lie in the hearts and minds of men: war upon slander, calumny, and falsehood of all shades: War upon unlawful desires: they are evil in them- selves, and, if not curbed, sure to lead us to evil lives.
