sheIterins Arms Service.

Rev. J. H. Dennis, pastor of Mt. Cal vary church, conducted the service at the Sheltering Arms Sunday after noon. The rooms were bright with large chrysanthemums of many col ors.

Fishermen use eome fish to catch others; and this is the plan Of the devil, who frequently sets men to in- huence others to sin, where he could P. Calvin in the course of his sermon at the high mass in St. Patricks church Sunday. He was continuing in his series of discourses on the Firth commandment, Thou shalt not kill
 In considering the murder of the soul, infinitely worse than the murder of the body, he pointed out that this spiritual murder is committed through scandal, i. e., by any means, direct or indirect, which proves an occasion of sin to another.
 He showed that scandal may pc caused in three ways: by word, by deed or by omission, citing number of convincing instances which set forth individual responsibility in avoid ing this grave sin. Christians who in- huence or induce or inspire others to the commission of evil are robbing Christ of the souls which He gave His precious blood to save; hence they can expect little leniency even from the live and act so that their good works shall shine before men, giving praise to Almighty God.
 The high mass was sung by Rev. Francis J. Muster, who is leaving on Wednesday for his new assignment at St Josepf's church, Bristol. During his studies in Europe incidental to his theological course Father Muster ae- quired a thorough knowledge of Polish and other languages spoken in the Bristol parish, and that accomplish ment influenced Bishop Milan in de- ciding upon his transfer from St. Pat ricks parish, after a very efficient period of about eight months as assist ant to Rev. J. H. Frederick.
 Before coming to Norwich, Rev. Fa- ther Muster was for seven years al Jewett City, where, as here, he well exemplified the high calling, all-round scholarship, fidelity to work and ear | nestness of the typical priest of the Roman Catholic church. His home is | in Collinsville.
 His successor, Rev. Peter J. Cuny | who comes from tlle Bristol church | was for several years a curate at St
 Mary's Star of the Sea church, New I London.
