 Sunday, and  for  a  few  of  the  principal  festivals  of  the year has  been  evolved. Some extraneous  thoughts, encountered in  a  course  of  desultory  reading  and drawn chiefly  from  Fr.  Segneri,  S.J.,  and  Padre Agostino da  Montefeltro,  have  been  pressed  into service to  supplement  the  Cardinal's  homilies. These latter have  helped  the  present  writer  so  often  and  so much  in  the  routine  of  parish  work  that  it  is  most earnestly hoped  they  may  prove  of  assistance  to others,  and  that  this  or  any  similar  attempt,  however humble, to  bring  out  into  the  light  these  and  the many other  gems  of  Catholic  thought  and  sentiment may meet  with  popular  approval.
