We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

COVER STILL
This month’s picture is not from a motion picture but is, none the less, very moving. It illustrates admirably the idea of religious vocation being awakened in the mind of a young boy.
The picture is published by kind permission of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, St. Joseph’s College, Beulah Hill, S.E.19, and is the work of Derick Blew.
