natives of South America used curare (or
arrow poisoning) on their spears. Hard

DEAR BU PERS.
While my shipmates ride the lusty seas
and boast of travel wide,
I sit behind this dusty desk,my travel
at my side, an atlas.
They sail from East to West and back
and' tell of many a tale,
I rock from left to right and back,
and dream of setting sail. At last.
Still I could sit eternally unless I
get my orders
To visit nations, buy souveniors,from
different foriegn borders.
So Dear BuPers send my orders with no
delay.
Take me to the Orient -or Asia far away
cause if I have to always stay this poor
dry land sailor.
They’ll be takin me on a long long
cruise to see the head shrinkin’ jailer,
By a short-timer, for all short-timer\
’’Jesus wont into the temple of Gocl,
; and cast out all them that sold and bo
| ught in the temple” (St. Matt. XXI:12)
j Our Blessed Savior never entered Jer
! usalem without going to the temple, in
order to teach us to frequent , the house
\ of prayer - the church. . f,
It is a place, pf consolation.,. In our
tions, we shall find true consolation
only in the house of prayer, at the foot
of the cross, where we can lay open to
God the bitterness of our heart which
He will sweeten with his grace. All
other consolation is in vain.
It is a place of propitiation. When
we have offended God and when, through
fear of His judgment, our conscience rap
proaches us with having done so, we must
go to the house of prayer to entreat
forgiveness and by true contrition tc
appease the anger of God..
It is a place' of illumination. It is
there that God enlightens our mind with
his grace and discloses to us what we
should do in roder to acquire the vir
tues of our state of life and to make
sure of that most urgent of all matters,
our eternal salvation.
Have you visited the house of God
lately? Try it next Sunday. Begin pre-i
paration for the comming of the great;
Feast of Our Lord's Resurrection. I
Father L.C.Mattielloj
