I do not think it is an exaggeration FO positive to say that enthusiasm is essential in every sphere of life. Every man must be a bit of an enthusiast if he is ever to do anything of lasting value. We cannot attain to the

We are all rightly interesteding: we can thank God for the tireless enthusiasm of the few, and with fresh in the parson whose face lights up and courage go forward.

But it is well to bear in mind that the Catholic Church was built upon St. Peter-Peter, the hot-headed, blunder- ing enthusiast; and as it has been said We owe more to euch men than to whole regiments of respectable nobodies who never violated single law of propriety.

The enthusiasty in the original sense, is the person who is filled with God; in other words, the person who possesses the spirit of Christ.
