New Plan Will Be Adopted Soen, And City Fares Will Not Be Changed. The zone fare system which the Shore Line Electric Railway com- pany has put into operation on several of 1ts branches wiil become effective here the latter part of this month. It will not affect the local fare schedule which will be the same as usual, five cents to any part of the city. The new system is to be put in op- eration on the New Londgn and Willi- mantic line, or what is known to the trolley men as the main line. The zone system does not mean an in- crease in fares in the full sense of the word, but rather a readjustment of the present fare rates. The nickle is to be taken as the faremnit and the fares will be regulated according to the dis- tance traveled. The trollevmen are to receive instructions in the new sys- tem this week. cou NTE58 GRATEFUL. Another Lcfier Comes From Paris to Mrs. Bela P. Learned.

Cuny at St. Patrick’s. “What, therefore, God hath joined to- gether let not man put asunder,” Matt. xix. 6, was the text of the second in the series of sermons on the sacrament of matrimony, preached in St. Pat- rick’s church Sunday at the high mass by Rev. Peter J. Cuny. From the viewpoint of the Roman Catholic, the sacrament of matrimony is a contract which only death can break. There may be times when, because of grave faits on the part of husband or wife, the church may tolerate temporary separation. In rare cases, when it has been proven that impedimen isted, or pre-existed, the will be declared null and void—as though ro marriage nad ever taken place. But in ordinary cases no court, no power, not even the authority of ihe supreme pontiff himself, can break the marriage contract validly made and consummated; and there must be no other marriage while either party iives. This great principle applies to the ghest and lowest in the ohurch. en Napoleon sought to divorce the Empress Josephine, Pope Plus VII met his petition with the unvarying reply: “No_divorce!” The pope was exiled for five years, from 1809 to 1814, but it made no matter; the principle was not changed. What, the preacher asked, was the cause of the separation of the Church of England from the Church of Rome? Volumes have been written in expla- nation of it, but in a nutshell it sim- ply meant that the head of the church refused to grant King Henry VIII per- mission to divorce Catherine of Arra- gon. Up to that time Henry had been a devout Catholic, a learned king, who | had written much in defense of the church. The pope could foresee that, in refusing the king authority to put away his queen, it would mean the loss of an entire nation to the Church of Rome; but there could be no change in the ruling of the Catholic church on this point. Again the reply was: “No divorce!” When a Catholic marries he knows that the contract is binding for life. If he even attempt a divorce he is ex- communicated. In case he secure di- vorce papers they are of no more use than waste paper. Emphasizing, then, the seriousness of the marriage con- tract, the church makes every effort to be sure of her ground, before a man and woman are joined in matrimony. ‘There Is careful preliminary investi- gations, the banns of marriage are published, everything is done to en- able each party to the contract to know something of the other, before the decisive step is taken. Love at first sight may do for fic- tion, or for the movies, but the Cath- olic church invests the sacrament of marriage with a seriousness which impresses upon men and women the convition that only the graces of the sacrament will enable them to live to- gether in happiness, bearing with the Inevitable imperfections of each. To thcse who might be unhappy in the marriage state, the preacher urged the frequentation of the esacraments of penance and holy eucharist, assuring them that through these God would grent them that patience and forbear- ance so necessary to render married life serene and happy. ‘The evils of divorce are too well known, even to those states which grant it so readily—the breaking up of the home, the separation of children from one parent or the other, perhaps from both, possibly to be sent to some institution. Again, the possibility of easy divorce tends to make men lose that restraint which has its effect when they realize that the marriage contract is binding during life. It is a sad fact, the preacher said, that while the nation standing highest in divorce is heathen Japan, rapidly swinging toward materialism, the United States, which calls itself a Christian nation, stands second, a de- plorable evidence of the drift toward materialism in this country. The mills of the gods grind slowly, though surely, and the Great Spirit is watching His children, eventually to shape their destinies in accord with His will, even.as now He is shaping events in the warring nations of the world, The speaker forecasted the time when the Almighty, in His power and justice, must bring man back to a realization of a life more pleasing to His will; when the ideal of men shall again be the home, with one man and one woman, who shall have children and shall educate them to perpetuate that same ideal of the sanctity of fam- ily life, of marriage, as a holy union ‘which finds its prototype in that union which exists between Christ and His church.

In -pluolthnh-.vy-mm Sunday afternoon a large number of men attended the mass meetipy in thc Tha; bullding, conducted ‘While the ushers were collecting th free will offering, lliam Malone rendered a violin Dr. H. F, Adams of New London gave the address of the afternoon, chocsing for his theme, “The Great- est Sale in the World” He compared the value of a man’s life to his soul, relating illustrations to bring out his poinis. The address proved interest- ing and among some of his words were: There are two distinct questions, one is_what profit does a man get who sells his soul? What 8 gained by sell- ing? Men value things in this 'orld by how they are willing to pay. What is the value of the soul? What is the value of man?. For an {llustration Dr. Adams suggested a balance scale, placing man in one and the soul in the other. He said, “How can we find out what a man is worth, and what is a soul worth?’ In the world today there are millions of volumes of knowledge and not one of them can tell what the soul is worth. When God started this world, He made man after His own image and breathed life into his body. making him a living soul. The soul is a wonderful thing. Dr. Adams related the experiences of the devil trying to tempt Jesus of how he wanted His soul in exchange tor worldly power. Nebuchadnezzar obtained many worldly possessions but lost his soul. Alexander the Great sold his soul, Napoleon and Caesar con- quered many worldly things but at the sacrifice of their souls. The man or woman who places anv- thing before God. is committing idola- try. Thou Shalt Not Have Any Oth- er Gods Before Me. God must come first_into our lives and we must be humble servants.
