Systemic catarrh always gives fair
warning of its approach, and can be
easily warded off by the proper treat

the eyes, mental confusion, fits of ner-

heat, chilly sensations, palpitation, irri-

symptoms or all of them should be
promptly met by the use of Peruna.

A case of SMALLPOX has been dis
covered in the borough of Archibald and
there is grave danger, according to DE-
Houser, OF a. serious outbreak or the
disease in that place.
The case was discovered on Friday
last, by DIR. Van Doren, who was called
to attend q Slav, living in that part OF
the borough known as the Ridge. He
found the man suffering from what ap-
peared to be smallpox and at his re-
quest a quarantine was ordered estab-
lished by the council and DIR. Houser,
of Taylor, the local smallpox physician,
was summoned to make a diagnosis.
DR.. Houser visited Archibald on sat
urday afternoon and discovered that
the man was suffering from a most
malignant form of the disease and that
he was in the eighth or ninth day OF the
eruption. There are upwards of dozen
boarders in the house in which he lives
and this is situated in most congested
district.
All of these boarders and many of the
neighbors came into close contact with
the diseased man before quarantine was
established and went to their work and
walked freely about the town. DIR.
Houser is inclined to the belief that the
danger of spread of the disease may
be slightly lessened by the fact that all
Of the men living in the house have ar
rived in the country within few years
| and have thus been recently vaccinated.

1923. we read "As the father hath
sent me, ! also send you. Receive We
the Holy Ghost whose sins We
shall forgive, they are forgiven; whose
sins ye shall retain, they are retained
There is no room for doubt that
Christ gave this power to his apostles,
said Father Valentine, and it is unrea-
sonable to doubt that He intended this
power to pass away with the passing
of the apostles. Christ's church was to
last for all time; therefore 1T is against
reason to say that the power was not
to descend to their successors, the min
listers Of His church.
But, Father Valentine went on to
say, it is ponetd out by the critic that
not a word is said about confessins
ones sins, as a preliminary to obtain
ing forgiveness. Why could not one go
to the priest and say: Forgive me my
sins?" The answer, said he. Is found
in an analysis of the words Of Christ.
Twofold Power.
He gives to His apostles a twofold
power: To forgive sins, and to retain
sins. He made them judges. A judge
can not pass upon a case until 1t is
laid before him. He can not use this
awful, this divine power arbitrarily.
How can he exercise this power justly
in any case unless that case is laid
before him?
There are two ways of a case being
adjudged. One is IL trial by jury; the
other where the party is a self-accuser.
A trial by jury is quite undesirable and
out of the question, it will be generally
admitted. The plea of guilty is the only
alternative. The penitent must go to
the judge, lay his case bare and accept
the Judgment. If a priest is to lose
sins or retain sins, it Is not sufficient
that he knows that the penitent has
sinned. He must know what the sins
| ara.
Those who charge that the confess
sional is an invention of the priests
said the speaker, must show the au-
thority on which they base their asser.
ton. Such an extraordinary act could
not we'll have escaped historic record
Where is this momentous invention re.
corded?
AS to the allegation that the confes
sional is an instrument of the priests
used to get men, and especially women
in their power, Father Valentine gave
indignant refutation. 1t was only fou
mind and bad heart that would con
ceive and contain such an idea, and {
worse than blackguard who would giv'
utterance to It, he said. If anyon,
could for a moment harbor such al
idea, he would refer such one to thos,
who made a practice of going to con
fession.

He closed his lecture by picturing
how great must be the consolation or
the confessional when 1t is so eagerly
sought by millions, day after day, at
the cost Of self-confession and humili-

to hear the words of a successor OF the
apostles. Depart in peace; your sins
are forgiven"

Bishop Hoban spoke few words, say
ing, among other things, that he hoped
at least that Father Valentines mis-
sion had swept away some prejudices,
misinterpretations and misunderstand-
ings. The world was full OF absurd
conceptions, and the Catholic church Is
