81 pray Thee have me excused"
Tx. 14:1S PIP.
Why shave me excused? II have
bought piece of ground, and must
needs go and see it.'' 81 have bought
five yoke of oxen and go to prove
them 81 have married wife, and
therefore cannot come"
Business and social life, these are,
in experience, as well as in parable,
the culture ground of excuses for not
accepting the offers OF the Gospel.
In our day, as in the days of Christ
and of Noah, buying and selling, eat
ing and drinking, marrying and CIV
ing in marriage, are set out as ex-
cuSes for not closing in with the
Terms of Christ.
Well, then, must men give up bust
ness, marriage and the like for the
kingdom of God? Surely not. For
all these things, pleaded as excuses
by these foolish men of the parable,
are in themselves innocent and law.
full. Indeed, TO have business and
TO be diligent in ii is divinely en-
lDlUeu OpLlSdtlOb' NhdiiiaSC 10 q nv
BILE obligation, ordained and made
honorable by God Himself. And
God has also called men 10 embrace
His Gospel; and this duty is not in
the least Inconsistent with the others.
God never makes obligations clash.
Men do, however; and they do ii by
reversing Gods order. In the Di-
vine Purpose, seeking the kingdom
of God is first. But the men of the
parable got marriage and real estate
deals and cattle buying all mixed up
and confused with that first thing.
And this confusion was not as be-
tween the kingdom of God itself and
these other things, but as TO the mere
time of buying and marrying. In this
foolishness of men first things must
wait on secondary. The kingdom OF
God, in its relation to human soul,
must wait till dirt deal is closed.
What trifling folly! Here is point
not to be neglected: Many men are
running their souls, not by open and
dreadful breaches of Gods laws, but
by excessive attention to legitimate
and innocent things. Emphasis ought
to fall first on Gods kingdom TO gain
it for ourselves; then all these other
things will fall into line, and we shall
not need excuses. ]. M. B.

Honey Bread,

In Europe, where the food value of
honey seems to be much better I'M
derstood than in the United States,
enormous quantities are used. OF late
years We seem to be waking to a
realization of the value of honey as a
wholesome and delicious article of
food, and also as to its preservative
qualities. Cakes and sweetbreads
made with sugar corn become dry
and crumbly, and to get the good of
them must be eaten when fresh; but
when they are made up with honey,
they seem to retain their moist fresh
ness indefinitely. In France honey
bread year or eighteen months old
is preferred to chat just made. They
say: at has ripened" 1t is the
preservative, or rather the unchang-
ing, quality of honey that makes 1t SO
popular with the best confectioners.-

PRAYERS for Suicides.

On All Souls Day every good Cath
olic goes to some cemetery to lay
flowers on the graves of loved ones.
Owing to the number of suicides by
drowning in the Dansbe there are
many dead to whom this rite cannot
be paid, and in honor of these a
touching ceremony has been held in
Budapest Several thousand persons
walked in solemn procession to the
bank of the Danube by the Franz
Josef bridge, and wreath made of
leather was sunk in the water, while
the attendants uncovered their heads
and said prayers. On one side Of the
wreath the words were embossed,
For the salvation Of those who died
in the Danube" and on the other side,
do not take this out, but leave 1t
in the water" A layman then gave
an address, in which he extolled the
virtues of many of those who had
been driven to suicide, and con-
demned the church for refusing its
blessing to their bodies,

PEST VICTIMS LIE THERE
Grave of Five Who Died Of Smallpox
in 1911 Found In BeIlerica,
Mass.

Closely adjoining the site of the
Boston & Maine car shops in Billerica
the surveyors discovered gravestone
marking the spot where 100 years ago
five persons, victims Of smallpox, were
buried.
The stone is still in good condition,
although messy with age, The foot
stone as we'll as the headstone is
solid, giving evidence of careful work
on the part of the ones who placed 1t
there.
The grave was evidently chosen a
century ago as secluded spot and
when found trees, underbrush and
shrubbery nearly hid it from sight.
The words on this headstone are:
Erected in memory of and to desig-
nate the place where Asa Grost, Jr.,
Levi Frost, Eleanor Farmer, Sarah
Hodgman and Samuel Batchelder
were buried, who died of smallpox,
August, 1911.
At first the Boston & Maine con-
sidered getting the consent Of the
state to remove the stone and the
dust of the bodies, but it has been de-
cided to let the grave remain where
it is.
So these five persons will rest
where they are and their bed Of the
last century will not be disturbed. No
relative Of the ones buried seem at
all concerned about the grave and it
is doubtful If any descendants Of
them are living in Billerica or Lowell
at the present time.

Have you read that great Everglades

Congressman Frank Clark, and is now
being published with screaming head
lines in some of the anti.drainage pa
pers2 If not, you have missed it. AS
nearly as we can make ii out, the situa-
ton is like this: Somebody says that
somebody made a report on the Ever
gladeS drainage which, being against the
project, as il should be, was suppressed
by folks who wanted report favorable
10 drainage, which it shouldn't be.
Consequently the faction who wanted
the unfavorable report published, as ii
should be, and the folks who insisted
that il should be published as ii
shouldn't be, came into conflict, with
the result that the government officials
who should have published the Ever
glades report, as il never was, were
dismissed from service, much TO the
honor Of one Congressman Frank
Clark who thinketh that he has discov-
cred in this much material for great
national scandal, which, coupled with
his illustrious name, would bring him
more prominently before the public in
time for re election to a much desired
office. Very clear, isn't it?-American
