In reading his report of the spirit ual side of the parish life during the past year. Rev. John II. Broderick, of St Patrick's church stated to his congregation Sunday that during 1914 there had been 137 baptisms-131 of children and 6 adultS-89 deaths, 50 marriages, 107 first communions of children. During the year the three priests of the parish have made near ly $50 sick calls.
 In the societies connected with the church, about 1000 members of the League of the Sacred Heart receive holy communion every month. The number of weekly and even daily com n1unicants is increasing.

 In reviewing the year, Rev. Father Frederick urged his people to receive the sacraments frequently and to at tend rSass regularly. When man has six days of the week for himself, he said, he should surely be willing to devote one hour on the seventh to the worship Of God. He also urged them to be loyal to their parish church and to remember always that it is the house of God. He also reminded his hearers of the urgent necessity of fer vent daily prayers.

EVERYBODY DAY AT
 CENTRAL BApT1sT CHURCH.
MoF7iFq and Evening Services Had
 Good Sized Congregations.

Sunday was Everybody day at the
 Central Baptist church. and in spite of the extremely unfavorable weather
 there were good sized congregations at
 both the evening and mroning ser
 vices
 In the evening the pastor, Rev. Joel
 B. Slocun. D, D.. took for his subject
 Companionshlp With Christ, the text being from the 14th verse of the third
 chapter of Mark: And he appointed
 twelve, that they might be with him,
 and that he might send them forth to
 preach.
 Dr. Slocum said We are apt to think
 more of the second reason in the text
 as the principal reason for the ap-
 pointing of these twelve disciples. We
 on the first reason, 'He appointed twelve that they might be with Him. " That is the first reason Jesus had in mind. That they should go forth and preach is the second reason. He ap- pointed twelve that they might be with Him to descend, first of all. into the. interior of their own characters, SC as to see how much they needed Him and then to find out that He had an illimitable supply for this need. When the disciples. men of humble but noble toll, responded and came near to Him, their indifference melted and they began to find themselves learning. They saw down into the depths of their hearts, into the possi- bilities of sin. But they saw not only into the depths of the possibilities oi sin but also the heights Of holiness There are some people who greatly l impress us with their righteousness I and correct manner of living, but it is the saints of the earth who acknow- ledge themselves dependent on Gods mercy.
 l God showed the disciples, first of all 1 their inner lives. ever pointing by words and actions to the higher things When there is a reconciliation between | Christ and those who have sinned 1t is that He trusts the individual as l though he had never sinned. Wher | Jesus forgives, He forgives so abun- ] dantly that everything is made right l Let us come to conpanionship with I Him. It is worth while when we com
 pare our privileges with Him. At the morning service pr. Slocum spoke on the topic Jesus First Sermon Matt. 4: r, From that time began
 Jesus to preach and to say. Repent ye for the kingdom of heaven is at hand
