THE LAYMAN’S APOSTOLATE.

All the great questions before the public to-day have their Catholic point of view, and it would be well if our young men could master them sufficiently ,so as to take, a decided stand (says the Western Watchman, St. Louis, U.S.A.) Ask the average young Catholic what is the Catholic point of view on any one you may. choose of the great social questions so much discussed,, and you will find that he doesn’t know, there is a Catholic point of-viewunless he happens to be one of the few who read a Catholic paper. The point may be so broad, of course, that his conscience or his catechism may supply the answer. But frequently the point is not such and then he gives you his opinion from some article he has chanced to read in any paper. This shows the importance of having Catholic periodicals in the family, to which the young people may have access.
