The human soul is God's master- plece, its creation was the crowning slory of all His works, said Rev. Ar- thur Campbell, Passionist Father from Boston, Sunday evening, at St. Pat- rick's church before a very large au- dience in the first of the series of Sun- day evening Lenten sermons. The Wicgand vesper service was beauti- fully sung by the choir. ¢ Rev. Father Campbell in part said: What doth a man profit if he suffer the loss of his soul? Man is the most wonderful of God's creations, his com- position being of two substances, the material body and the spiritual soul The body of man belongs to the ani- mal kingdom and his soul to the spir- itual kingdom. But the body of man is more than the mere animal and the spirit lower than the angels. We are taught that the body is made of less value it is a mere house of clay and some day falls in ruin, where- as the soul is a treasure more valua- Dle than all the gold and silver in the world. Yes the soul is infinitely of more value than the body and what are you doing to promote the welfare of the soul? Let us pass a glance at our passing lives. It is yvears gone by with so barren of good work done and full of sin. Let us tonight strive to appre- ciate the value of our souls. Consider that Christ came for the redemption of our souls. Human hands color on canvas land- scapes, flowers and various other scenes but the lowest insignificant work of God cannot be imitated by man. Then what of his masterpiece, the soul? Yes the human soul, God's masterpiece. Its creation was the erowning glory of His works. In look- ing over His other work of marvelous beauty and grace, the sinning bodies of the heavens for something to serve as a model and of all His productiosfs. He was unable to find anything beau- tiful enough to satisfy. So He cre- ated man after His own image and likeness, bearing the imprints. Consider what price you would put on one faculty of the soul. What would you ask for your reasoninz power? God gave the power of pene- trating the secrets of nature and there is nothing we fear more than mental afflictions. If our reasoning power is of such value what about our soul? It is immortal it never dies: it does not depend upon the body for existence. The body will return to dust but the soul will return to God, it's malker. The finger of death cannot touch it Your soul will live forever. It cannot die, cannot decay, cannot be destroy- ed_and only God 'can annihilate it. Your soul will live on after your children’s children’s children are sleep- ing in the tombs. After generations, after generations. the soul will remain. Empires and nations will rise and fall, everything will be subject to change except the soul which will live on. Just like the image of God and then, what must it be worth? Show me your soul and tell me if it is the image of God which it should be. Jesus drove the gamblers out of the temple for their actions: what will the wrath of the Father be when He looks at our souls. The human soul being God's great masterpiece, His best loved work. God loves it as an earthly artist. It re- flects beanty and power and is pemit- ted it to man. Wicked man has dis- figured it and sold it to the devil. God 50 loveth the human soul He came to redeem it. Jesus came on earth in a body like ours, kept 2 soul imprisoned for thirty and ‘three vears. During his life He gave out perfect virtues, admirable in- structions and He was the very truth and life. Tell me what is your soul worth? When you stand at the juds- ment seat, behold the treasure soul you bear. 'He cared for it. inworea for it. Take it Lord, keep it Yora and place it near your heart to abide with Thee forever.

Francis P. Guilfoile, city attorney of Waterbury. Mr. Guilfoile told of how he became a convert to the cause and said he came here to show the peopie of Norwich that he is In sympathy with the cause. Millions Driven Like Dumb Cattle. When I learned that six millions of Jews in Russia were treated with the barbarisms of the Middle Ages and when I learned that men and wom were being driven like dumb cattle by the soldiery in R: dumb- founded, sid the 1 was sur- prised and glad t that compatriots had established channels through which you could send aid and relief to vour people. I am glad that the United States is awakening to the situation. It seems to me that it Is the only nation that can give relief and aid to those people at present. We know that into this country have come a great number of Jewish people. what they have done in this co: They have given us judszes, the: given us United StatN senators we are about to h: your and one In the su- preme court of the United States (Ap- plause). The Jewish people bring habits of industry, thrift and frugality and they also bring the ideals of a home. These things bring to me the sug- gestion that the United States should be interested in the Jewish people. In closing he said, T am sure your message will meet With a ready re- sponse for the American people are noted for their generosity to distress- ed people. Mr. Guilfoile concluded his address amidst a hearty burst of ap- plause. Noted New York Speaker. The third_speaker was Hon. Leon Sanders of New York city, grandmas- ter of the Independent Order of Brith Abraham and president of the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Soclety of New York city. The Jews of Norwich have come Fere together tonight for the purpose of receiving information as to the true condition of their fellowmen in Europe and should resolve, as much as in their power, to relieve the sufferings of those people, said the speaker. There are many who have read with a shud- der the uewspaper accounts of the manner in which whole populations of cities and towns have been driven from their homes within an hour’s no- tice.

Unfortunately what the newspapers have reported is but a small part of the real truth. The war, unfortunately forIsras), seems to have broken out in that part of Russia al- lotted to the Jews.

Israel Appealing for Help. In some citics an order has been issued that the doors of the house be left open at nizht and a light be kept burning. Death was the penalty for disobedience.

We have since raised three millions more. But what is that for the relief of four or five millions of people. Dis- tributed, how far will it go? Why this_indifference. Is it because you are happy in vour lot, that you do not feel the need of those on the other side? This is the time when every man and woman ought to contribute a cer- tain share of their earnings and give that share until the war is over, until Israel has been freed.

NECESSITY OF PENANCE Emphasized by Christ Himself, Rev. P. J. Cuny Says—How Lenten De- | nials Discipline the Soul and Wiil. | At the high mass In St. Pat church Sunday Rev. Peter J. preached a Lenten sermon on The Cui cessity of Penance. The Saviour said, | Except ye do penance ye shall likewi perish. ~ Each Lent furnishes a new opportunity for spiritual advancement and the preacher reminded his hearers that, even though man lives to the! spiritual allotment of core_and ten years, for some h Lent must, of necessity, be th By making denials of one sort or an- other, the soul is disciplined and the will s trained, so as to be able to| better resist temptations as they may arise. These denials, whatever they | may be—fasting. giving up pleasures, or whatever form of penance the indl- vidual chooses—should be made cheer- fully, secretly, wisthout any pharisacal assumption of piety. In addition to denials, prayer, w etc, the preacher recom- mended good reading, the giving up for the forty days of Lent of such lizht reading as magazines and periodicals, reading instead the Bible, perhaps | several chapters of the New Testament | daily. No better inspiration to right living can be afforded than that which would result from reading daily the scriptural narration of the events in the life of Christ. —_—— rks passed away at her late home at Staf- ford Springs after a short illness.
