VOWS.

A vow is a promise freely made to
God to do something pleasing to Him.
1t is more than resolution or in
tention of doing thing. 1t is a sol
emn or at least a deliberate promise
to do it. And it differs from taking
an oath to do something; for this
may be about something bad. When
Nathan the prophet spoke to King
David of the man who had taken
away poor mans eve lamb, David
said, 'As the Lord liveth, the man
that hath done this thing shall die"
This was an oath, but not vow;
for VOW is promising to do some
thing for God to please Him. And
taking vows is one way of adoring
God. Jacob made vow, saying, IF
God shall be with me, and l return
prosperously to my fathers house, of
all things that Thou shalt give me /
will offer tithes to Thee" And Anna,
the mother of Samuel, made vow,
saying, 80 Lord of Hosts, if Thou
wilt be mindful of me, and wilt give
to Thy servant man-child, will give
life"
A vow, when knowingly taken in
any unlawful way, could not be pleas
ing to God AS, for instance, If per-
son were to make vow to dedicate
to God some money that was not his
own, or some time that belonged by
right to his employer, such vow
would be unlawful. Children or others
living under obedience must not,
without leave, VOW things that their
parents or superiors might disapprove,
nor must we make VOWS that would
be disagreeable or injurious to others.
Our Lord reproyed the Scribes and
the Pharisees because they allowed
men to dedicate their property to
God, and so neglect the duty of help
ing their parents in their necessities,
which they we're commanded to do
by the Word of God. And besides
unlawful vows there are VOWS that
might be beyond our strength. For
fear, therefore, of our taking a vow
which we might not be able to keep
it is better, before taking vow about
any important matter, to ask advice
of others, and especially of our Di
rector. And when people enter into
religious houses, the Church will moi
allow them to take difficult VOWS with
out great consideration. They are
Obliged to wait at least for year, anC
in the meantime they are tried il
different ways; at the end their su
periors consider whether they are fl
and able to take the vows. They
have to go into retreat, and think very
seriously what they are going to do;
because if they take the VOWS they
must keep them. 1t is the same
with those in the world, if they take
vows they can not break them with
out sin. There is, however, no dan:
ger about making VOWS as regards
little things, which we know we can
do or give up, or about anything there
is to be done for a short time, or fol
once or twice. Moreover the Church
gives to Bishops, and sometimes tC
priests, the power of changing VOWS
or of dispensing from them if they
are concerning small matters, in cases
where there is any sufficient cause
But there are some vows, and especial
Nv those which are called solemn
from which no one but the Pope car
dispense, and he can not do so law
fully without a good cause. For {
vow is not a promise made to man
but to God, and the second Command
ment forbids us to break it.

Frank today was resentenced to be

the murder Of Mary Phagan.
When Judge Hill asked Frank II
he had anything to say the prisoner
stood erect and without referring to
his written statement detained it
with emphasis. Mrs. Frank who sat

on the table and sobbed.

Finding at Inquest Over Lus.tanIa

Kinsale, May 10.-The verdict rem
dered by the coroner's Jury which in
yestigated the deaths resulting from
the torpedoing Of the Lusitania fol-
lows:
I'VE find that the deceased met
death from prolonged immersion and
exhaustion in the sea eight miles
south west of Old Head of Kin
sale. Friday, May 7, 1915, owing to
the sinking of the Lusitania by tor
pedoes fired by German submar-
inc.
1--WE find that this appalling crime
was committed contrary to interna-
tional law and the conventions OF
all civilized nations.
I'VE also charge the officers Of
said submarine and the emperor and
government Of Germany under whose
orders they acted, with the crime Of
wholesale murder before the tribunal
of the civilized world.
I'VE desire to express sincere con-
dolences and sympathy with the re-
latives of the Diseased, the Cunard
company and the United States,
many Of whose citizens persisted In
this murderous attack on an unarmed
liner"
The Lusitania was struck by only
one torpedo, according to the testi-
mony of Captain Turner Of the steam
err, given today, but this deadly mis-
sile found a vital spot and sent the
liner to the bottom in less than twen-
ty minutes, carrying with her over
a thousand persons.
Liner Was unarmed
"You were aware threats had been
made that the ship would be torpe-
doed?" was asked.
I'VE were,' the captain replied.
WAS she armed?"

what precautions did you take?"
I'VE had all the boats swung when
we came within the danger zone, be-
