 Belittling  those  whom  you  envy  because you feel  that  they  are  superior  to  yourself.

Dilating on  your  pains  and  aches  and  misfortunes to  every  one  who  will  listen  to  you.

Speculating as  to  what  you  would  do  in some  one  else's  place,  and  do  your  best  in your  own.

Gazing idly  into  the  future  and  dreaming about it,  instead  of  making  the  most  of  the present. — London  Opinion.

"He that  shall  persevere  to  the  end,  he  shall  be saved"

AILY Conduct. — Have  a  fixed hour for  rising  in  the  morning; bless yourself  with  holy  water,  and  as  soon as possible  after  your  toilet  recite  devoutly your morning  prayers. During the  day  make at least  a  short  meditation  or  a  spiritual  reading. It is  commendable  to  read  daily  from the "Lives of  the  Saints." Hear Mass;  make a visit  to  the  Most  Blessed  Sacrament  and  to Mary,  the  Mother  of  Jesus. If you  can  not go to  church,  make  your  visit  and  adoration  at home,  turning  toward  the  nearest  tabernacle and receiving  holy  communion  spiritually. Recite the  Angelus;  say  the  beads. In the evening examine  your  conscience  and  recite your evening  prayers.
