ma le rial advancement is necessary but secondary. Pauline was quite serious when she asked for a prayer and~ penny-in that order." "FOR O\'EH 30 years." Father Dollen observes, "she Jived as if she was a poor woman. She identified with poverty, but she always had material wealtl, to fall back on in- emergencies. "For most of the last 10 years she literally did not know where her next meal was coming k m She existed on handouts, mainly from the poor, so that at her death even they were her debtors." Pauline was not content ju t to have started _the mission soc,etv. To fight growing secularism in France she started the Associa lion of the Living

Rosary for daily prayer. LATER SHE founded the Association of the Holy Childhood and asked children to give a penny a month for the world's "pagan babies. " She also began the Society of l\Iar,, a loosely formed religious congregation of members seeking per- fection. "On her Jove of God and love of neighbors, she was truly heroic," says Father Dollen. "Her faults and mistakes were very human; her charity was monumental. "THE C.\CSE of her canonization was introduced in Rome in 1930. On Feb. 25, 1963, the Congregation of Rites declared she had practiced_ virtue to an heroic degree. "

The book was published by the society which is using it for its anniversary appeal • for missionary funds. P VLI:>;E Jar1cot. daughter of a wealthr fa mil,, was born July 22, 1799, in Lyons where she died Jan. 9, 1862. She was only 23 when she founded the missions society in 1822 and gave much of her wealth away as an example to others. "It is no exaggeration to say," Father Dollen writes, "that the society was the mamstay of American bishops during our missionary days ... " The lesson Pauline Jaricot wanled to affirm is that spiritual progress is the more important thing, while
