If any of you who hear me are entangled with such company, make up your
mind now, and give it up. Be brave enough to do what is right. Ask
God to make you brave. And one word more, _help each other_ to do what
is right. I say to you who want to go in the right way, keep each
other company. None of us can stand alone, we need help. You have
probably heard the story of the blind man and the lame man who were
called to journey to a distant place. What was to be done? The blind
man could not see, the lame man could not walk; so they helped each
other: the blind man carried the lame man, who directed him in the
right way. Some of you have stronger wills and characters than others,
let the strong help the weak. But _how_ can you best help each other?
Soldiers in battle assist each other by closing their ranks, and
keeping together. There is the secret of strength, _keep together_.
Let all the members of your society march together. Try to set each a
good example, a _strong_ example, by prayer, by reading your Bible
daily, by attending the services of the Church as frequently as
possible, by coming to the Altar of the Blessed Sacrament, whenever it
is possible. Above all, pray, intercede, for each other.
THE END.
