He spoke of affairs in Russia and said

Celebration at St. Patrick S
Church for Three
Local Councils.
SERMON BY DR.. STAFFORD
Washington, Carroll, and Potomac Coun-
cils Assemble at Carroll Hall and
March in a Body to Church - Holy
Eucharist-Prayers for the Dead.

Yesterday morning at S o'clock a specia
mass was celebrated at St Patrick!
Church for the members of Washington
Carroll. and Potomac Councils. knight:
of Columbus. at which they partook oi
holy communion. The members assembled
in Carroll Hall at 7:45 O'Clock and pro-
seeded in body to the church. The ar
sangements for this mass were made by
Dr. A. D. Wilkinson, grand knight OF
Washington Council.
At the late mass the Rev. DR.. Stafford
delivered an eloquent sermon on the gos-
pei of the day as contained in ST John,
xv:25.27; xvi:1i. treating Of the testimony
of the Holy Ghost. In requesting the
prayers Of the congregation for the dc ad.
DIR. Stafford asked to include Archbishop
Corrigan in their prayers. In the course
of his sermon DR.. Stafford said:
The church has been giving us these
last Sundays q certain description OF our
Lord Jesus Christ There is one particn-
lar thing in the character of Christ-his
sympathy and kindness to others.
Destiny of Man.
Man could never understand what was
the intention of God in putting him in this
world. Whatever man might reason in
this connection. however, he was sure to
find God at the end Of all things. II he
looked into his conscience he found God:
still he desired TO know better and more
with regard to Gods intention relating to
mans final destiny. The incarnation of
the Son OF God was the best answer that
could be given to mans cravings in this
direction.
Even the agnostics are forced to ac-
knowledge that there must be some ulti-
mate destiny; but they refuse to ac-
knowledge that there is a personal God,
and yet 1t is necessary that we should
come to that conclusion. We might leave
modern thinkers and agnostics and take
them up on their own ground of prac-
tical experiences. Experience cannot be
denied; 1t is fact undeniable unan-
swerable. Aside from all reasoning and
special questions, we have the testimony
of human nature itself. II we know in
our hearts and souls that we have the con-
viction of a God. il is sufficient answer
to the argument of the agnostic- We do
know there are times when we feel lifted /
UP above this common world, when We |
feel there is God an omnipotent God. I
Prayer of Human Race.
THE human race has always looked up |
out of the abyss OF misery and calamity 4
and worry and sufferings and prayed TO
God to lift them up. When everything
has failed in human life, God has always
been invoked by the prayers Of humanity"
DR.. Stafford announced that, commenc-
ing today, May devotions will be held 1t
7:30 O'Clock in the evening during the
he also announced that the chill
dren will make their first holy commun-
ion next Sunday at the o'clock mass.
and that at 4:20 O'Clock in the afternoon
the annual May procession will take

The question has never been answered
by the unaided ability of the human mind
me greatest philosophers have not been
able to solve the problem alone. We
must turn again to the word of God for
an answer. Keep thy heart with all

Rev. Mr.. McComas then explained that

emotional nature: the inner conscious
ness. He said that when We are not
conscious of it. Impressions are stamped
upon the heart-upon the conscious tab

influence us. and so does the personality

He brought forth the idea that while

sorting process runs through all nature
IF 1t is true that we are each of us

Interesting Discourse Taken From Books
of Ecclesiastes and
Proverbs.

Rev. II. c. McComas, of Boston, preach
ed at the Eastern Presbyterian Church,
MARYLAND Avenue and Sixth Stree. north
east, yesterday morning. He chose his
text from Ecclesiastes. vi:25 For who
knoweth what is good for a man in this
life?" and from Proverbs, iv:23. Keep thy
heart with all diligence: for out OF ii are
the issues OF life." He declared the sec
ond text TO be an answer to the despon-
dent question asked in the first. He said
in part:
when a mariner has been buffeted for
days by adverse seas and tempests he
takes advantage OF the first lull in the
storm to look about him and get his bear
ings. On this peaceful Sabbath morning
let US, too. take advantage of the lull Ia
our usual occupations to look about ls
and get oGr bearings. Let US consider
what is good for man.

Proverbs is an answer TO the Book of Ec-
clesiastes. There is note Of despair ring

Writer of Ecclesiastes.
There are many people today who
look upon life like the writer OF Ecc,es-
tastes. He had gathered gold ana sill

TO himself that he z-ould enjoy life. Down
each one OF the five senses he had poured
the most ravishing delights He had grad
uaiiy grown weary OF all this. He he
came disgusted and he exclaimed. Who
knows what is good for man in this
life? All is vanity. We are puppets
toys TO be dandled by the Almighty

was not that he had met with disappoint-
ment. but he was philosopher, and had
observed. He saw that the innocent were

ONE of the matters which will prob ably attract the attention of the board of supervisors now in session in Tomb b. store will be the report of the late grand jnry. The grand jury was un- sparing in its criticism and denuncia- tion of the condition of the jails at Tombstone and Bisbee. This is ma ter for the board to look into and cause remedial action to be taken. That part of the report which dealt with the precinct officers and declared that "illegal fees bad been presented and collected from the county" should es pecially receive attention. The law makes it the duty of the district attor- ney to advise the board as to the le- Rslity of all bills presented, and there can be no excuse for such payments Such thing might occur by an honest mistake, and in such a case. of course the money will be returned to the treasury when attention is called to it.
