In the main section as well as in the
annex was taken, and extra chairs
were placed in the annex and in front
of the stage to accommodate those who
could not be otherwise seated. Not

REV. JOHN r. X. QUINN breaches
ON THE MERCY OF GOD
Lenten Devotions at ST. Mary's Church
Were Well Attended Tuesday Even
ing.

The attendance was large at the
Lenten devotions held in st. Mary s
church on Tuesday evening at 7.30.
The services opened with the recita-
ton Of the holy rosary and litany CT
the Blessed Virgin Mary, Rev. Father
Kennedy leading IN same. The Lenten
discourse was given by Rev. John F. x.
Quinn, rector of st. Johns church,
Montville, whose text was upon the
Mercy OF God. picturing it all above
His other works, and in part Father
Quinn said:
During this penitentia1 season we
reflect upon the truths of salvation
penance, death and Judgment and yet
the mercy of God is above all His
works. 1t is not my intention to exag-
between the justice and mercy, oppo-
site through they may appear to US.
At Calvary mercy and truth have met
justice and truth and kissed. Our
Divine Saviour has accomplished this
and His last great asst pictures His
mercy, showing the Examinations of
the heavens. Dwell upon this great
truth-confidence in the Saviour.
Strange to say, had not Adam and
Eve fallen into sin His mercy wotlld
not have been revealed to US in such
q striking manner. st. Paul finds
| finds himself at loss to express the
| mercy of God-the riches of Gods
mercy he terms exceeding great riches.
1t is like a mine of emeraldS so rich
| that it becomes inexhaustible or like
the spring spoken of in the Scripture,
bubb!ing over from an unfailing source
| No wonder then we are filed with
hope and confidence resting upon the
foundation of the mercy of God-The
| mercy of God in the trials and Attic
| lions Of this life is like chastisement
| of Adam and Eve, not so much to ex-
cite revenge as to act as a remedy
| Having yielded to temptation Adam
| and Eve were expelled from the Gar
den of Eden and the penalty chosen
was death. The mercy of God did not
| sentence them to eternal death but
God spared them once more by giving
up His son as a victim for their act
We see their expulsion from Paradise
which was a real mercy of God.
Imagine the state of man before he
fell into sin. His noble faculties gave
him power over the beasts Of the field
his mind turned heavenward then a:
now to evil. Then, dear brethren
to look upon free from the faint Of
sin; even now the grounds obey hi!
nod What beautiful garden Eder
must have been? Even now aftel
falling into sin he has a certain au
thority over the 1beasts Of the field.
Wars, strife and contention in tn,
world today came from the hands O.
sin. Look at Europe today to see tn,
picture of disorder--the consequence
Of sin, the real root of sin, though w,
may trace it totanother occasion. Maj
in his present condition is but for
fner vision Of himself, like an ancien

Uses Steam to Clean cuIv.rt,.

The culverts about town have be-
come so blocked with snow and ice
that it is necessary to thaw them out
before a rain comes or the streets will
be miniature rivers. The Ponemah Co,
are busily engaged in freeing the Gull
verts and cutters of ice. The work is
in charge Of e. w. Warrington. Mr..
Warrington is using a steam boiler,
which forces steam through a long pipe
and this pipe is thrust into the culverts
and in this way the ice is soon melted.
Thursday afternoon the work was
nearly completed. This is the first
time in nino years that these measures
have been employed.

"ln those days there was no gymna

and football had no prominence. In
the open space at the rear of West

wall. Against it we played 'handbalI,
which was practically tennis, at least
it was governed by most of the pres
ent tennis rules. Instead of racquets
we struck the ball with the palm OF

JESS WILLARD IS
TRAINING AGAIN
Champion Never Trains on Sun
day Regardless of His Physi-
cal Condition.

New York, Feb. 29.-Jess Willard,
heavyweight champion, resumed train.
ing today, after day Of rest. He
never trains on Sunday.
No matter how badly he needs the
gymnasium work and the rough spar.
ring bouts to better his condition, he
refuses to work on Sunday.
Folks who were taking their morn.
ing constitutional in Central Park,
opposite Eighty-tirst street, looked on
in surprise as they saw a giant Of
a man walking briskly past them in
the park He took great strides and
none of the park walkers could keep
up with him. This was Jess Will
lard.
The promoters of the bout, Richard
and McCracken, together with Tom
Jones, Willard's manager, and Ike
Dougan, manager for Moran, will ap-
pear before the state athletic COM
mission today and submit all the con.
tracts for the bout. The commission
will also examine the checks and see
that everything connected with the
contest is within the boxing laws Of
the state.
While there has been large sale
of seats, there are still a number
left, but the promoters believe that
the house will be sold out two weeks
before the bout. Many of the orders
for the high priced seats are coming
from out of town. There is a large
demand for seats in the section set
aside for women and their escorts.
Because of the number of women
who will attend the bout, the man
agement is thinking seriously o. put

change the style of play from that Of

cniHSe the style OF play IRON tldl VI
last year.
The action Of the committee met
with the approval Of local followers
of the game and it should be satisfac-
tory to coaches, players and specta-
tors in this section of the country.
Western coaches did not want the
rules tempered with and their de-
sires certainly were granted
One OF tie principal changes and
one which seems the most important,
was the changing of the penalty from
ten to fifteen yards when a player
interferes with a man who is in a
position to make fair catch Of for
ward pass. This is a good rule, as
there was a lot Of such work last
year.
In order to protect the player who
catches a punt out after touchdown
it was ruled that the blocking team
may not bat the ball the same as a
forward pass, but may not run into
the catcher except in an actual at
tempt to catch or bat the oval. 1t
was enacted that a player may puch
an opponent out of the way to get at
a free ball. It also was ruled that a
guard or tackle to be eligible to re-
ceive the forward pass must be on
the end of the line.
Another important ruling is the ex.
.ecution of a forward pass by team
behind it's goal line. After consid-
cradle discussion it was ruled that a
forward pass made by a player back
Of his own. goal line which is incom-
pleted in first, second or third downs
or strikes the uprights or cross bar
Of the goal posts shall count as a
safety for the defending eleven. If
such an offense occurs on the fourth
down, the ball shall go to the oppon.
ents at the point of the previous
down.
1t will be readily seen that these
changes will in no way effect the
style Of play. They will merely make
the players be more sure of their for
nations and make them adhere more
closely to the code.
