couiinon cause. And whenever rupture, caused bv d'tler- 

 ence in opinion, seems imminent, retlect and think of the old 

 rule which may tide you over the rocks : "In essentials. 

 Unity; non-essentials. Liberty, and in all things. Charity." 



Try to advance your section and our neighbors', so that 

 it will be not only written of you when the records of your 

 deeds are nmde up : That the Parish has received no detri- 

 ment at your hands. Uut that her banner has bee i car- 

 ried forward, and when your grip on it has been relaxed, 

 and it has been taken up by the hands of your children, it 

 will have been planted in the forefront of progress and pros- 

 perity of your time. 



See to it that you serve faithfully your State, your Parish, 

 your nation and the Ood of your fathers. "Indeed and in 

 truth." Do this and you have the promise that '"all things 

 will work together for your good" and for old St. James.
