H. Schlarman, bishop of Peoria, in a pastoral letter to parishioners which was read recently at the various parishes of the city.

It reads in part as follows: "There was a time when there was some spiritual reading in every home, and when the rosary was recited in every family, at least in Lent. Why not let the father or mother or children, after the evening meal, read the life of Christ from the New Testament, Bible stories, lives of saints, or the children's next day' religious lesson? "Unfortunately, and to the great moral detriment of our homes, spiritual reading and family prayer are forgotten forms of training souls and serving God. I call upon you to attend special Lenten services, especially mass, Lenten sermons, and the way of the cross. I ask those who can do, even at a sacrifice, to attend week day mass. Those who are unhappily, without employment should offer this affliction to God in holy mass and other Lenten services.
