The Rev. Father VINCENT McNABB ,
O.P.
2-' Kindness '
This is the second of three talks by Father McNabb. On July 19 he spoke on truthfulness; this afternoon he is to speak on kindness ; and on August 16 he is to speak on courtesy.
Father Vincent McNabb is one of the best-known preachers of the day. He frequently appears on the Roman Catholic platform in Hyde Park, and he has a wide and sympathetic following both within and beyond his own communion. The late G. K. Chesterton , who was an ardent admirer of Father McNabb, wrote of him: 'I will say briefly and firmly that he is one of the few great men I have met in my life ; that he is great in many ways, mentally and morally and mystically and practically..... Nobody who ever met or saw or heard Father McNabb has ever forgotten him..... He is really a popular speaker, in the rare sense of having real popular sympathies; and no man in modern politics has so firmly and even fiercely loved the people.'

This is the imaginary biography of the two children who, as babies, were put by James IV of Scotland on the island of Inchkeith with a dumb nurse in order that they might teach themselves speech without being taught, and that he might discover the first language of the world. In due course they were taken off the island. Some say they spoke good Hebrew, but of that an old Scottish historian says, ' I can't say '. No one knows what happened to these children. This evening Donald Carswell, a well-known Scottish journalist is to give his conjecture.

An appeal on behalf of THE CHURCH ARMY by a mother and daughter who have just come back from a fortnight by the sea in a Church Army Holiday Home
Tonight a mother and her little girl, who have just returned from a fortnight in one of the eight Church Army holiday homes, are to appeal on behalf of the Society's Fresh Air work. The mother will speak of life from a poor mother's point of view, and of her holiday experiences. Her little girl is to describe her own.
Last year the Church Army was enabled to give holidays at the sea or in the country to over 5,000 mothers and children. This year a new holiday home for mothers and children of the North has been opened at Southport, and an experimental home at Weston-super-Mare will be opened on August 1.
This appeal is confined to the Church
Army's Fresh Air work, but the Society has over sixty other branches of work, which touch life at every stage from babyhood to old age. Prebendary Carlile, founder and Honorary Chief Secretary of the Church Army, will be happy to give fuller particulars if anybody cares to write to him, at [address removed]
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged, and should be 'addressed to [address removed]
