preached on the subject; Judgment
His text was the following quotation
1T is appointed for all men once to de
and after death the Judgment" father
Garrigan said that retreat such as the
Knights of Columbus have been making
this week is a time when the mind Is
turned from the pleasures and business
of the world and is centered upon the
solemn, basic truths of religion, upon
life and death and upon each ones eter-
nal destiny. He said they are counseled
during that time TO study the philosophy
of life in the book of death by the light
of the Judgment. for they are assured
that this study will inspire that holy
fear of the Lord which Scripture calls
the beginning of wisdom.
The speaker said il is good to have
! this fear for il begets diligence in
the service of God, it induces prayer.
it makes men better men, The fear
of the Lord at least. He said the
man that fears and knows the danger
must have a fear of that terrible
\ Judgment which he must undergo and
| fear will make him pray and be pre-
pared for It. Gather Garrigan said
! that danger is real. for everyone must
know that 1t must soon be decided for
everyone how they shall fare at that
! judgment
He spoke of the uncertainty as To
the time when death will come and
he pointed out the necessity of being
prepared for death and for Judgment
for the risk is tremendous and eternal
happiness depends upon the final
! judgment Father Garrigan said the
moment the soul departs from the
body that moment It is in the pres
ence of God to be judged and that
very moment it receives the sentence
that determines its eternal destiny.
Father Garrigan said he has seen
many men die and in the silence that
comes following the last death strug-
gle he said he has often reflected
over the terrifying scene that must
take place in his presence, but which
he cannot see.

headed THE Greatest Asset of the

Pittsburgh The bulletin also says:
in normal times the Pennsylvania
system has 25O,00O employees. The COM
pany pays the highest prevailing rete
of wages received by railroad en-
ployes in the territory in which it
operates. The policy of the Pennsyl-
vania system is 10 insure that all its
relations with its men shall be char
aeterized by fairness and friendli-
ness.
THE Pennsylvania system early re-
allied the importance o, training its

To make the service attractive it is
essential that employment, as far as
possible. be permanent.

amount Of paving authorized by Council

PHILADELP NOT
NON-SUPPORT HAVEN
AT Least as Far as VIII
mington Is Concerned
Authorities Say
WANT ONLY THREE
MEN HELD THERE

Court Officer Francis E. Green and
Probation Officer Frank Stout were
much amused today by a statement in
a Philadelphia paper that Philadel-
phia was a snug harbor for Whining
TONS recalcitrant husbands who have
been put under court order to sup
port their wives and who don't like
taking the trouble, or can't find jobs.
The statement continues. "The po-
lice have warrants for 10 derelict
husbands who have skipped to this
city. The practice is becoming a
common one in Wilmington and the
police of that city have asked cooper
alton of Philadelphia force to find
the men and send them back TO as
sumo their responsibilities. Four of
the non-suppOrters who had orders
against them in the Wilmington mu-
nicipal court were captured here yes
terday and will be held awaiting reQui-
sition papers from Delafare. The au-
thorities in that city are determined
to break up the practice"
Mr.. Green said that the statement
was entirely wrong. He said two
men, Frank Phillips and Samuel Dill
we're arrested in Philadelphia on
Tuesday for non-support. They had
never been arraigned in city court
here. Chester Hawke. colored. was
arrested in Philadelphia on Thurs
day for violating a court order. All
three are held awaiting requisitior
papers. Mr.. Green said there were nc
other warrants in, Philadelphia at the
present time for men on charges ol
this character
Mr. Stout remarked that he did no
believe that there we're ten men IN
Philadelphia at the present time, in
cluding the men under arrest. that h'
would like TO have here fer not liv
ing up to court orders on original non
support charges.
