SIGNIFICANCE OF PALM SUNDAY
Theme of Sermon Preached by Rev. Dr.. Kaufman at
 Methodist Church.

At Trinity church Sunday morning mere was a large congregation to hear pr. M $. Kaufman preach upon the theme The Significance of Palm Sun day. His text was John xii, 12-13 and Mark xxi. g: 10. During his sermon he said:
 The last Sunday in Lent is known as Palm Sunday, CO., called because of
 the prominence given to palm branches
 as enfblems of victory For many cen
 turies it has been observed by large di-
 vision of the Christian church in con-
 memoration of Christs public and tri-
 umphal entry into Jerusalem.
 It Is the certainty of his ultimate
 victory over all opposition throushout
 that throws back up the event we
 celebrate on Polrn Sunday it's com
 manding significance It is prophetic
 of that splendid time, undoubtedly fast Peace. will ride triumphantly into ev- cry nation, into every city and com munity, and all the multitudes of earth will intelligently shout Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. HoSanna in the highest" The armies of this globe will ground their arms, they will beat spears into plowshares and swords into pruning hooks, and unite in the pursuits of peace, waving palm branches in honor of him who merits the homage of angels and of men. Arbitration is fast becoming the policy of Christian nations. Many of the wiSeSt men of our noble Anglo Saxon race and of other leading races, are saying with emphasis that war is justifiable only after all resources for peaceable settlement have been ex- hausted. Let up hope that the sub lime lesson of every human beings essential dignity and worth in the sight of God is being too well and too rap idly learned to admit of men being again swept like cattle into fields of slaughter. Some better use can be found for men made in Gods image than that of shooting them down in battle Dispute it and doubt it as we may, the fact still stands out in bold relief and radiant outline that love is cOnquering the world. Christ is eter- nal love incarnate, dying love, divine love-suffering falling, rising, tri-

The attendance at the meeting of the Holy Name society in their assembly rooms on Sunday afternoon was ex- tremely large. The principal business before the meeting was the receiving of new members. A large class, num- bering thirty, was initiated by the de- gree team in an impressive manner. Twelve new names were presented and creasing membership of this vigorous society is most gratifying to it's off cers and members, and the prospects for it's continued growth and influence in the future are very bright The Holy Name society now has over 250 men in its ranks.
 In St Mary's church on Palm Sun day at the 7.30 o'clock mass about two hundred members of the Holy Name society and the St. Cecilia. and Father Mathew T. A. societies were present in a body and received Holy Com munion. At the 1O.30 o'clock mass the palm was blessed and distributed.
