T advocate that you take the burden of life on your own shoulders. Don’t throw it on other people. Place it on your own shoulders.

There are no doubt in this congregation many fa- thers who are planning for the lives NORWICI of their children, wanting their son or daughter to do this and that, but prob- ably you are not thinking of your son coming home drunk, are you? No, we don’t think of that, we cannot bear it. Bishop Acheson gave an illustration of a boy who had wandered into the far country and how shamed the father felt to even walk down the street. That is the way God feels for us. We are intensely dear to him. God _never changes His love' towards us. He never forgets us and always has some good news for us. No matter how far we wander in the far country, God is there waiting, and no matter what the condition of our souls, we are His children. He puts His arm arounid us, throws the robe of charity about us. How are we going t0 love God? we hear people say. Peo- ple say I don’t see how. Friends love each other because they know each other intimately. They are ih close touch with each other. You must know God the same way. Read the gospel of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and St. John. Learn of God as re- vealed in these scriptures by Christ. Read Paul's letters; they are for us. A girl once wanted to leave home because she. thought her father was stingy. She held her head quite high and wanted to know what her father did with all his money. She hounded him, and one day a friend who felt the girl was wronging her father told her of the crime committed by her grand- father which was a disgrace. He said your father is a saint. He is making money to pay off a debt and stain of the family The father worked tire- lessly to work off the family stain. The girl, hearing this, flushed and realized her wrong. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. Bishop Acheson told of a boy flying a kite In London in the midst of a fog. Someone. asked the lad what he was doing. He said he was flying a kite but, the stranger said, 1 don't see the kite. But on taking hold of the string he could feel the pulling and tugging. So if we keep on praying we can feel the pull of the Father. If you want to know Him further, think, read, fol- low, and work for Him, and you will love God. n- REV. W. A. KEEFE AT ST. JOHN'S CHURCH Presented Graphic Word Picture of Loyalty of Old World Catholics. At a meeting held in St. John' church, Fitchville, Monday evenin: | under the auspices of the Holy Name | society of the parish, Rev. W. A. Kcefe | of Plainfield wa he speaker of evening. Followi the Lenten de tions which were conducted by the pastor, Rev. David O'Donnell, the speaker delivered his sermon, taking for his text, Catholic Ideals. F: Keefe presented a graphic word ture of the loyakty of the old world Catholics in preservi their faitn under the trials and conditions t existed in many of the European countries, and praised the devotion of the Catholic pioneers who dur; the last two generations had builded in America a church organization that was not excelled in any country in the world. He particularly prai the Irish emigrants whose sturdy ad- herence to the duties of their relizion and whose spirit of self sacrifice had imade possible the erection of mainte- nance of many of the churches, the educational institutions and hospitais that cover the United States from ocean to ocean. He paid a splendid tribute to the sisterhood of the church, whose work in the Catholic schools and hospitals of the country had won for them the commendation of people of all denom- inations. Father Keefe edified the congregation that filled St.* Joh church by his eloquent sermon and the conclusion urged the members of the Holy Name society to be loyal to the society under whose banmer they were enlisted and assured them that if they were they would not only be good Catholics but also patriotic American citizens, as loyalty to churci begot loyalty, to country.

To feel your best day in and day out, to feel clean inside; no sour bile to coat your tongue and sicken your breath or dull your head; no consti- pation, billous attacks, sick headache, colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stomach, you must bathe on the in- side like you bathe outside. This vastly more important, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do, says a well-known physician. To keep these poisons and toxins well flushed from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, drink before breakfast each day a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimen- tary tract, before putting more food into the stomach. Get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from your pharmacist. It is inexpensive and almost tasteless, except a sourish twinge which is not unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot water every morning to rid your sys- tem of these vile poisons and toxins; also to prevent their formation. To feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became saturated with an ac- cumulation of body poisons, begin this treatment and above all, keep it up! As soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and puri- fying, so limestone phosphate and hot water before breakfast, act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels.
