said that every one believing in
his son has eternal life. Not to be-
lieve that statement is to make God
a liar (10-12). The word know" here
does not NEAR merely to perceive, but
to know with a settled and unques-
t4oning knowledge. The ground Of as
surance of salvation lies not in our
feeling but in the Interchangeable word
and promise of God. And yet those
who accept the word of God may have
the concurrent testimony Of the Holy
Spirit with their spirit, thus produc-
ing the feeling even Of assurance.
II. Assured Answer to Personal and
individual Prayer IA, 15). The
thought Of assurance Of salvation
leads to that Of boldness in prayer.
II VIZ know that we have eternal life
we know that we have holiness. If
we are sons then we can speak freely
with the father, and may rest assured
that God not only hears but also an
swers u prayers. The words "ac-
cording to his will" may be called a
limitation Of prayer, and yet 1t is
hardly a limitation, for Gods will is
always best. And indeed it is just
this seeming limitation that makes us
free to pray; were 1t not SO we should
not feel free to open our. lips to ask
a blessing for fear 1t might be a
curse. but when we know that what
we ask is according to Gods will we
know that it can be nothing but good
for US,

Anniversary of St. Patriek's Church Noted-President Wilson's Proeia- nation for Peace Sunday Read by Rev, Myies p. Calvin.

When the choir of St. Patrick's sang in the Creed Sunday "Et Tn unain Sanctan Catholicism ct Apostollciaa!IIn Ecclesiam," it was with new spirit bsince yesterday was the third annlVer- sary of the conservation Of the mag nificent parish property free from dept' The cor,secration candles about the au- ditory were lighted. the altar hangings and vestmcnts were of wIEe ana golu and the sanctuary decoratlone were especially elaborate.
 In the solemn high mass Rev. l Thomas A. Grumbly was celenranl' I Rev. MyIes P. Calvin deacon and Rev. John H. Broderick sub deacon. rather Calvin was the preacher, his text being Luke xix. 4S. My house is a house of prayer. While God is, as David reminds us. everywhere. since earliest times it has been mans practice te set apart cer- | tain places in which He is to be Wor- shipped, although it remained for Sol ! ornon to make such a place 8 most or nate temple. Even there, the Jews were permitted to enter only the outer court and the priests the inner court, while the high priest alone could enter the holy of hoIies, and that but once a year. Tn modern temples of Christianity God has broken down this barrier, this wall of separation, and man can ap- proaeh Him without restraint. Many a Christian who spends his time while in the house of God in leyity, disrespect and irreverence might learn a. profit able lesson from the behavior of tEe ancient Jews, who entered the temple with the greatest humility. reverence and recollection.
 At the offertory John Sullivan sang pr. Jules Jordan's Ave Maria, with its smoothly flowing, limpid melody and tehderly religious theme. The Veni, Creator was well sung by Mrs F. L. Farrell. .Organist Farrell had his l chorus in good training for the special music of the service.
 Rev. Father Calvin read Bishop 1 Nilan's letter announcing the rosary | deFotions for October and directing that President Wilson's proclamation ! appointing Oct. 4tla. as special day
 for peace prayers be read. The procla-
 nation was read in it's entirety by Fa-
 ther Calvin and the congregation was
 urged to supplicate God to bring the terrible conflict in Europe to a speedy
 termination, and to pray as the bishor
 enjoined for the thousands of brave
 soldiers who have given their lives or 1 the field of battle in obedience to the I call of duty, as well as for the widows and orphans in their dire distress.
