His text was the commission of Christ, to His apostles “As the Father hath sent me, so also I send you.” It was an earnest, eloquent presentation of the Catholic priest's claims to di- vine commission and authorizmation to teach and preach to all the world. The ascension of the Saviour had left the disciples in gloom. They returned to spend the time until the first Pen- tecost in prayer and fasting: then their divine Teacher's promise was fulfilled, and the Holy Ghost descended upon them in the form of tongues of fire, transforming the poor simple men—for the most part ignorant fishermen—into apostles, equipped miraculously to go forth as Christ had command@ed to teach His doctrine to all the world. In unbroken succession, since that, firet commission, the bishops of the Catbolic church, every vear near the tigme of Pentecost, have, the selfsame words, commissioned other diseiples to continue the work which the Saviour instituted. Teach the Same Doctrine. This commission is to teach. not some new-fangled doctrine of the Twentieth Century. The newly com- missioned priest must teach as His Exemplar Christ taught; and woe be to him if he should teach or preach otherwise! Taught to All Nations. That the Saviour’s command to his disciples to “teach all nations” has been fulfilled, there is abundant proof. At the first, the beginnings of the church were small and humble. But the word of Christ has since been car- ried to every quarter of the globe, so that the doctrine of Redemption has been taught by these duly authorized apostles, in succeeding generations even to our own time. In the jungles of Africa, the frigid wastes of Bi- beria, under the burning sun of Arabia, upon the_inhospitable mountains of China, thfough the trackless forests of our own Western lands, everywheis the priests of the Catholic church have made their way, everywhere they have planted the standard of Christ, taught the truth of the Redemption.'

Blessing Received. Following th mass, nearly every at congregation wait- ed to receive the first holy blessing of the young priest, who pressed the hands of Ris friends 2180, s conETAt- lations and good wishes for his suc- cess in his holy calling were cxpressed. Father Portelance is a native of Norwich and was gvaduated from St. Patrick’s school, later from St. Thom- as’ Seminary, Hartford. He made his theological studies at Grand Seminary, Montreal, going therce to Niagara Uni- versity, where he received training to fit him for work in the West, as he is to labor in the diocese of Bishop ‘Ward, of Leavenworth, Kansas. He was ordained at Buffalo Cathe- dral on Pentecost Saturday. He will spend a short vacation at the home of his mother, but is holding himself in readiness for summons to the Kansas diocese at any time. His aged mother, his sisters and brothers occupied special pews during the service in the church where the young priest’s father was a devout ang regular attendant up to the time of his death. person in the Informal Dinner. Folowing the morning’s services there was a dinner for the young priest and his family and clerical friends at the Waupegan.

Every Employe to Get One—Firm to Aid Warriors. Bvery one of the forty odd men, ‘women and office boys employved by the Charles F. oves company is to re- ceive a liberty bond as a gift of the concern, said the New York Sun of Friday. The giving of the bonde is part of a plan decided on at a recent meeting of the officers of the company, called for the purpose of doing some- thing for those of their employ who gave their services to the country, It ‘was declded that a certain percentage of the profits of the concern, which iast year did $20,000,000 worth of bus- iness, a great record for a real estate concern, will be laid wside for aiding those who have joined the military or naval forces of the country. The plan is to encourage the patriotism of their employes by letting them know that they will not suffer financially by whdlever sacrifice they will make for the country during the present crisis. Every member of the Charles F. Noyes company office force will receive a letter this morning which will read in part as follows: “This company recognizes the sacri- fices that must be made during the period of the war. All must do their part, whether at the front or at home. ‘“Having this in mind, the company has decided to do tiwo things for the purpose of aiding its employes: “First—It will purchase and give to each employe a liberty bond. “Second—It will « formulate a plan under which a certain percentage of its profits will be set aside for the purpose of alding those who volunteer or may be drafted. “The bond wiil be given without re- serve; but those who may see service will receive such aid as, in the dis- cretion of the officers of the company, they may seem to need. “It is not going to be possible to make and follow a fixed plan, but the company will do ite best to be heipful to_employes who have been in its ser- vice for more than two years. It is possible, however, to say definitely that if the company is in a normal condi- tlon at the close of the war positions will be given to employes who return.” 8prague Concern Organizi Organization papers have been filed with the secretary of state by Clayton H.

B At the First Baptist church Sun- day morning there was a larga de! gation of the Odd Fellows and Re- bekah lodges at thelr annual memor- 1al service, The church was attractively deco- rated with many flowers and with the flag and with red, white and blue streamers. A _programme of music was given by the choir. Beside the organ were Fred Benson, violin: TLaRue Bliven, cornet, and Harry Ward, slide trom- bone. A number of much enjoyment was a duet by Messrs. Harry Ward and LaRue Bliven. Rev. Mr, Strouse, the pastor, gave a special ‘message from the theme, This Present Hour. Mr. Strouse said in_part: Oy dear Friends: I gave you a cor- dial Invitation to this holy sanctuary and rejoice that, on thia your annual memorlal service, we may fellowship together. It is a rare treat to speak to men. Men are worth while. In each man there are unexplored and unfathomed potentialities, there is the possibility In each man to soar to sublime heights and carve his name on the age in which he lives and the soaring and carving haven't ail been done in the past. We are here not to be jollied, not to dream nor drift, but to “make good.” But what does “make good” Imply. Does a man make good who has a large bank account, who rides in the biggest touring car in the city, who lives in the most stately house on the strect? No, No, emphatically no. The men “makes g00d” who so Hves and works that he at last wins his Mok approval. My theme yon< tains but three words, This Present Hour. With the past we have nothing to do. There are blots and stains in each life. In them we manifest no pride, German skill nor Yankee gen- iug have never discovered a solution that will eat the stains out of the fabric of life. One chemical alone will do it—the precious blood of the Son of God. This present hour finds us _in pos- session of a great heritage. Someone has beautifully written of the unpar- alled opportunities of the present hour. For us Plato and Shakespeare thought for us, Dante and Milton sang for us, Edson and Newton toiled for us, A gelo and Raphael painted for us, Ben- edict and Francis lived saintly Iives for us, thousands have died on the battlefields and for the purity of our religion, thousands have died at the stake and in the arena. But there nre still some contributions to make for the dawn of peace has not yet ap- peared. This Present Hour is frought with momentous possibilities. (1) Christianity is on trfal. There is much labelled Christianity which has nothing of the Spirit of Jesus. It's a counterfeit type and will be consumed in the fire of this war. The quicker it disappears, the better. (2) Democracy is being tested. This world must be made a safe place for democracy. We have nmo doubt but that democracy will stand the test This is the brizhtest sign on all the The wave of demo- pro- it horizon of life. cracy is assuminz world-wide portions and will not cease until sweeps over every lang, KILLED IN FRANCE WHILE IN ACTION Henry Howard Was Serving With the British Army.
