Truly there are now more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatlo, than even were dreamt of in your philosophy.” A Scrap of Colored Paper. Another day the Authorman was posting a letter and as he pressed the- stamp on, he said whimsically, “Fun- ny thing, isn't it, I put that Ilittle scrap of colored paper on my letter and it carries it seven hundred miles on the train and then to a certain house on a certain street,—all in a day and a half. And instead of be- ing thankful to it, all I do is kick if it’s a few hours late. We don’t want much do we?"” The Miracle of Civilization. Of course the marvel of a stamp’s service is somewhat different from the wonder of the telephone and the electric light, and yet is not the civil- ization that vhe passage of one letter connotes, just as much a miracle in its way as either? to the phenomenon I granted and I sent fram the New the national The institute purpose York headquarters committee: will held “for the discussing and conferring together upon the subject of the moral aims of this war and the part the churches and religious organizations shall have in re-shaping conditions following the war.

Winte | scriptions Next Sunda; | * The annual collection for St. Mary's | athletic field on Stanley street, will | be taken at the masses to be held | mext Sunday morning. This announce- ment John T, was made yesterday Winters, pastor of the church, at which time envelopes for the purpose were distributed While no added collections were taken at the time the playground was first opened, the parish bearing the entire expense alone, there are running ex- penses each year that must be met by the people of the parish. Owing to the fact that St. Mary's athletic field is open to the public regardless of creed, and that it is widely used by the general public, Father Win: ters sald that he hopes the time will come when the city government will realize this and that an appropria- tion can be arranged for its main- tenance, in spite of the fact that the parish owns the property This field was, a few years ago, transformed from a pasture into a very desirable athletic field. Some day, this land will undoubtedly be added to St. Mary new Catholic cemetery, as it was purchased for that purpose. The cemeter; however has sufficient land for several years to come, and the field will not be need- ed for its ultimate purpose fc some time Father Winters urges that the people be generous in their contribu- tions as any money put into the de- velopment of the field will not be wasted. It is the hope of Father Winters that the wonderful work at: the fleld may continue under as good conditions as can be provided, and that the parish will net be by Rev. obliged to lessen its program for lack of proper funds.
