I& Be CareH in tlze Choice of Yow Bboks extended devotional treatises will keep alive the piety of those for whom they are suitable. But dl Catholics, whatever their condition, should make use of spiritual reading. It is impossible to exaggerate the effect on the lives amd characters of Christians of the words of holy men, of the heroic acts of the martyrs, of the example of the lovers of Jesus in every age, of the contemp!ation of our Lady's progatives aad goodness, and, above all, of the story of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The "Following of Christ," and other books of a like nature, are at once a guide to virtue, an encouragement to prayer, and an influence drawing the heart daily nearer to God. The reading of Holy Scripture, of the sermons and conferences of distinguished preachers, and of the penetrating devotionat books in which our language is by no means deficient, is adapted to sanctify the house, and to keep out of it, to a greater or less degree, that flood of objectionable printed matter which overflows the land at the present moment. " Priests and laity can not do more for souls than to encourage by every means in their power good and cheap Catholic literature -&strzrction, devotion, hks, and $Priodicals -and to bring it within the reach of every class of the faithful. All read; they must read, and they will read. Let us strive to check the evils of bad reading by the dissemination of that which is good." If you wish to keep yourself informed in regard to current Catholic literature, write for the publications of the Catholic Truth Society and for the "Catholic Rook News," a monthly review of Catholic puMmtions issued by Benziger Brothers.
