The active members of the Montgomery True Blues will tonight give a. banquet to the surviving members of the organ ization, who, in 1881, went out from Mont somery to fight for the Lost Cause"
 For twenty-three years 1t has been the custom of the members of the company to compliment the former members of the command by rendering them ban quet. The members of the Blues, who followed the Stars and Bars are now few in number. Every year when the roll is called at the annual meeting of tho sur viving members. there Is one or more names called to which there Is no an- swer.
 The annual meeting of the Survivors Association, is held on February p, in the office of the president, Col B. M Washburn. At the conclusion Of the meeting the captain of the company es- corts the survivors to the banquet hall after an honorary salute has been given them by the company.
 This year the banquet will be held In the banquet hall of Bastiana X Cassi- mus on Dexter avenue. Captain B. F. Baber, Jr. will preside as toastmaster

commune with its Creator in silence. yet It is sometimes necessary to frame our acs of adoration, thanks and petiuon as we express our thoughts and sentiments with our fellow man.
 .'Our Divine Lord" said Father o'Brien, ''has already shown us this fact. He lett us a set form of prayer by which we are to raise our minds and hearts to our Father Who art in Heaven. Wny should we pray?' asked he. Firsts os- cause God has commanded it, and 1t ls a duty and obligation that every crea- ture owes its Creator. Without 1t, once mans soul Is stained with actual sin. he cannot obtain those supernatural helps and graces from God wherewith to over come the temptations that surround us on all sides. Our daily experience convinces us of It's necessity. If we examine our past lives we find 1t marked by series of falls-1uties transgressed, virtues too feebly practiced, occasions of sin unavoid- ed and the sin committed. We have one and all received quick help from God In answer to our humble applications. Why should we not pray? Man is not less a man for bending his knee In adoration to his Creator To whom should We pray? We should pray, first. last and always, to God. our Creator, our Redeemer and our Preserver.
 christ is the source of all grace, and 1t Is from Him that we must expect those helps to enable us to fight successfully our temptations. We may ask Ills Blessed Mother, the saints and the sut- fering souls in purgatory to intercede for us, but they are never to be the end or object of our prayers. We ask, to inter- cede for us, those to whom God has shown himself, because they proved good and faithful servants. signal marks of his friendship"
 Tn conclusion, Father o'Brien said:
 We notice that in giving Us the conn mand of prayer. He associates joy with it. Ask and you may receive that your joy may be full Let us try to make this great act one of joyfulness. It is the act in which the angels and saints are con stantly occupied and 1t shall be ours. If. as we hope. we shall receive the reward of faith"

St. Peter's Catholic Church,

Quadragesima Sunday, or the first Sun. day of Lent, was observed in St. Peter 5 Catholic Church yesterday by the cele- bration of two masses and a short even ing service.
 Notwithstanding the indictment weather, all of the services were well attended.
 The masses were at 6:30 o'clock and 10 o'clock in the morning. The evening ser vice was held at 7:3O o'clock.
 Rev. Father Francis J. Tobin, who is in charge of St. Joseph's School for Negroes, near Montgomery, spoke briefly at the early morning mass on the Lenten season. He explained the real meaning of the sea- son and dwelt interestingly on the duties pertaining to it He made the point that the fasting and abstinence required by the church was at times dlsagreeble, but that it served as penance along with the helpful practice of self-denial.
 At the 10 o'clock mass Rev. Father Dem his Savage. pastor of St. Peters Church, spoke briefly on the subject of Lent pointing out the fact that the day was the first Sunday of Lent and the beginning of the great fasting season of the Church He explained tersely the reason of the church's exactions during Lent. and gave some good advice towards meeting these requirements.
 At the evening service Rev. Father Hugh A. o'Brien, assistant pastor of St Peters Church. spoke on the subject of prayer. He took as the basis of hls discourse this text, Amen. Amen. I say unto you. If you ask the Father anything in My name He will give it to you. Ask and you shall receive that your joy may be full"
 Father o'Brien began his remarks by showing that prayer was often attended b coldly and without the proper spirit He said that prayer formed a solemn part In an incident of our Lords life after tho Last Supper with His disciples. It was then that He gave them a lesson in pray CT. Prayer he said, was an act of relig- ion
 Tt is the lifting of our hearts and minds to God" said Father O Rrien. ''to adore Him. to thank Him for His benc- fits and to ask Him for His benefits whether they are for the soul or for the | body"
 Contining this line of thought. Father OBrien showed that words were not nee essary for prayer. because the soul can
