WHO CAN FORGIVE SIN?

But the priest absolves, and he is
man; how dare he? Because he is
himself sinless, or pretends to be?
No, but because God has given him
authority to do what only could be
done by Gods delegation. Jesus
Christ said that He gave the power.
and delegated the authority; do
those who deny the power not be-
lieve that He is God? Or do they
deny the authenticity of the words?
There are no palmer in Scripture;
Christ did not in any Scripture more
plainly declare His own Godhead
than He declared His delegation of
the power of binding and loosing. To
believe Him and His words in their
plain sense is not despise Scripture;
to admit that He could Himself for
give sins is to admit that He was
God, to refuse Him the power is to
refuse to confess Him God; and If
He be God and Almighty He can del
egate any function He chooses. He
said that He did delegate His own
authority of binding and loosing. He
must have meant something; is it ar
rogance, is it impiety, to believe that
He meant what He said, and that He
could do what He said?-John Ays-

THE GRAVES OF FOURTEEN

In a little cemetery in back of the
Sisters of Charity's mother house
and academy, on Mount St. Joseph,
several miles above Delhi, are the
graves of Sister Anthony, the famous
war nurse, and thirteen of her COM
rades who braved the dangers of war
to administer to the sick and the dy-
ing during the struggle between the
North and South. Until two years
ago the Noyes-McCook Post, G. A.
R., made an annual pilgrimage to
the spot to honor the memory of the
heroic women, but when several Of
the old soldiers died from the effects
of the climb up the long hill to the
cemetery. it was decided to shift the
office to younger shoulders.
Yesterday the Sisters stationed at
the academy received great bouquets
of roses and twenty-eight small
American flags from the members Of
the Post, to be used in decorating
the graves. Young women students
at the school marched to the ceme-
terry singing patriotic songs, scatter
ing flowers over all the mounds In
the cemetery and placed flags at the
head and the foot of each of the
nurses graves. while the Sisters con-

in Belfast. on Friday. They were
expected to show that "the time hat

a resolution which contained the
following:
I'VE are willing to consider
alphabetically, any proposals
made to us which would recog-
nize our loyalty to the Crown
and Constitution, and at the
same time preserve our inalien-
able rights under the Imperial
Parliament.
I'VE deeply regret that the
government has made no honest
attempt to carry out his Najes-
tvs suggestion (the reference
in the Kings speech to Coop
GRAFTON of all parties and
creeds"), but, on the contrary,
by resort to various devious and
secret arrangements, has en-
deavoured to bring into col
lision the armed forces of the
Crown and the peaceable and
law-abiding citizens of Ulster.
thereby stirring up animosities
and feelings inimical to a peace
full solution.
while still willing to con-
slider any such proposals, our
well-grounded want of conf
dence in the bona-fides Of the
government compels us in that
discharge of our duty to our
God, our country, and our fami-
lies to press on with the compile
ton of our arrangements to re-
sist, by every means in our
power, every attempt which
may be made to impose the au-
thority of any home rule Parlia-

Carson was greeted as "Kine

Saturday Carson spoke at Larno,

urged them to keep the peace and
to obey their leaders.

also seems worthy of note: "O'Bri-

1t is a chance shot or insult
that may lead to retaliation,
and then no influence which we
leaders possess-a1d we have
the greatest influence over our

"In the country districts,
feeling is running very high.

men, is spreading over an area
