But this  would  have  made  a  volume  of  great bulk, and  our  young  men  do  not  like  to  carry a bulky  book.

To Our  Lady  of  the  Blessed  Sacrament and the  Mother  of  Good  Counsel  we  humbly and respectfully  dedicate  our  little  "  Guide." May she  bless  our  youthful  friends,  and  pray for them,  that  they  may  love  and  honor  Jesus more and  more  in  the  Sacrament  of  His  love, that they  may  learn  to  know  Him  better, who is  "the  Way,  the  Truth,  and  the  Life," and, above  all,  that  they  may  follow  Him and walk  in  justice,  holiness,  and  truth  toward that complete  beatitude  which  is  the  crown of the  saints.
