MODERN IpoLATRY
Worship Forbidden by First Com mandment Prevalent in Many Hearts and Many Forms, Declares Missionary Preacher.

At the mission being conducted at St. Patr1ck's church by three Fran ciscan Fathers fron New York, Fa- ther Chrysoston preached at the 5 o'clock mass Monday morning and again at o'clock. following mass read by Father Matthew. The preacher an- nounced that during the wornen's mis- sion this week he is to give instruc- tions dealing with the Ten Command ments The time yesterday morning was devoted to the First Command ment.
 This prohibits some things and it commands some things. Thou shalt love the Lord. thy God; thou shalt not have strange gods before Him, for bids, in the first place. idolatry.
 While there is little actual worship of idols in most parts of the world, nevertheless it is a fact that mortals still set up idols in their hearts which they worship. The strange god may be wealth, or pleasure, or immortality Rowing down to this idol. the person who cherishes it has no time or in- clination to worship God.
 Then a sin against the First Com mandment is superstition. There are foolish persons who will not under take a journey on Friday. who have a fear of the number 13 and the like.
 An offence against this command ment is seeking to know in the fu- ture those things which it is Gods alone to know and to disclose. The preacher said that. aS an American, he was actually ashamed of the fact that so many Americans make a prac- tice of consulting fortune -tellers--de- ceivers who are after the dollar of their dupes, and who. if by chance they strike facts right, do so by mere accident. or through the suggestions of the devil.
 The First Commandment not only forbids, but it commands. It implies worship solely of God. and this in the main is chiefly through prayer.
 Prayer is. in essentials. converse tion with God; hence what should be dearer to a Christian than the privi- lege of thus communing with his Gre ator, from Whom and through Whom come all that man has? The speaker

directed attention to the fact that, ex- cept his free will and his sins. man can claim nothing of his very own; all else comes to him through Gods beni- ficence.
 When should we pray? Saint Paul says, Pray always!" But this does not mean tlla tnan should stay ever on his knees. It means that, on ris ing, all the work, and the trials and the actions of the day should be of fered to God; then will Gods bless ings attend His creatures. At night, there should be the prayer or grati- tude, of trust and confidence.
 Prayer to be acceptable to the AL mighty should be offered in a state of grace, should be said with attention, humility, confidence that God will an swer mans petitions in His own good time for mans good: with persever- ence-as the blind man of the Scrip ture prayed the Saviour to restore his sight-and with the firm purpose of keeping from temptation and sin, through Gods assistance.
 Who can be certain of seeing to- norrow's sun rise? asked the preach CT. Not one of us! Death comes un- ushered and unanrounced! If we could be assured thac this night were our last. oh, with what fervor we would pray, what solemn preparations would we not make! With this thought ever before us. 1t is the part of wisdom to pray always with recOl- lection and with .contrition.
 Monday evening, the preacher was Father Seraphina. whose subject was Obstacles to Salvation.

A . E ElRVHA Simple, Harmless Remedy Brings
 Quick Relief.

Many cases of immediate relief and rapid recovery from Bronchial Asthma of long standing and other diseases of throat and lungs are being credited to a discovery made by Dr. Eugene How ard of Worcester, Mass. Dr. Howard s prescription, which is totally different from all usual methods of treatment for these a:ffictions, is called Oxidaze and comes in the form of tablet which the patient allows to dissolve slow lly in the mouth. Its curative, healing juices thus mingle with the saliva and enter every crevice of the irrFtated bronchial membranes, release. the muscular con striction of the bronchial tubes, open up the air passages and regulate the spasmodic lung action. These tablets, though pleasant to the taste. are so many users who for years were obliged to sit up, in bed gasping Tor breath now put a single OHidaze tablet in their mouth when going ro bed and can then lie down and breathe easily and naturally and get a good night s other local druggists who handle Oxi- daze tablets sell it on the positive guarantee of money back if 1t does not give imrnedtate relief-

ND SECRET ABOUT VIN0L
The Complete Formula of This Great Tonic, Strength Creator is Printed
 on Every Label.

There is no secret about the reason why Vinol surpasses all other tonics and cod liver oil preparations to cre- ate strength for weak, run down, over worked, debilitated men and wo- men, after sickness, for feeble old people and delicate children. It is because it is a scientific combina- tion of the greatest tonics known to medicine, viz: beef and cod liver pep tones, iron and manganese peptonates and glycerophosphates etc.
 That is why Winol quickens the ap- petite, aids digestion, supplies iron to the blood and brings back the strength of renewed health.
 The letters from people who have benefited by Vinol, which we are con- tinually publishing in the columns of this paper, form chain of evidence which proves beyond question that Vinol is the greatest strength creator on the market.
 As the formula is printed on every label anyone can see there is nothing harmful in Vinol.
 Broadway Pharmacy, c. G. Engler, Proprietor, Norwich. Vinol is sold in Willimantic by the Wilson Drug Co.,, in Danielson by the A. w. Williams Pharmacy, and in Putnam by J. F. Donahue. Also at the leading drug stores in all Connecticut towns.

Rev. H. T. Arnold was in charge of the Sunday afternoon service at the Sheltering Arms. The text chosen for the address was to 1, 5-7. The first grace mentioned is virtue which is the force or energy of goodness, he said. We can all have a real purpose to do the will of God. Add to that knowledge, we need knowledge to di- rect our energy of love. Self-control is third. God can help use through prayer to gain self-control. It is also required that we be patient in we'll doing. This list of good qValities ad- vances. We never get real self control, though ever so patient, unless we have godliness. Great souls have believed in an infinite power we cannot manage
 How the virtue of Drotherly kind ness is neglected! Who can see his brother in need, and neglect that need and yet serve God? Add to brotherIy kindness, love. Love is the source of all good and it's crown. Every disci- pie is to be a revealer of love. He must bring into his human life the spirit of God above and make each of these virtues strong and complete.

SQuARING HIMSELF.

1t appears from reports that are
leaking out and drifting abroad that
there is gas and gas down in Grant
county Gas of volatile nature, COM
bustible. illuminative, unpleasantly
odoriferious, and gas that is more
commonly known as hot air. which
means rodomintade and an inclination
to dodge the truth. Little has been said
about this discovery in public print,
yet there are reasons to believe that
gas of an illuminative character has
been struck in modest quantities in
Grant county, sufficient to induce the
free exhaust of the other kind of gas.
Now from gas 1t was easy for the gaser
to drift from gas to oil, and in an item
recently published in the Wenatchee
World announcement was made that
oil had been struck in Grant county,
the informant giving the usual reli
able II. B. Brown as his authority. Ev-
erybody knows Brown, knows him ia
miliarly as Bull Dog" Brown. He has
chased the elusive fortune in all of
the mining districts of the northwest,
caught up with the chase he has not
completely failed in his ventures. 1t

Mr.. Brown, y-the-way, that the Oro-
Vile salts deposit became source of
product and profit both to the original

chemical deposits had attracted his at
tention, and he would naturally get
into the gas and oil game, if in the
neighborhood where gas and oil exist
ed. He would work to develop the pros
poets, too, and become enthusiastic
over the outlook, whatever that out
look might be, yet Mr.. Brown would
not intentionally misrepresent. Conse-
quently he is somewhat peeved that
any one should make free with his
name in giving publicity to an alleged
oil strike, in which he stars as the
authority for the announcement. He
has forwarded the following letter to
the Wenatchee World. which clears his
skirts of being willing factor in
spreading unwarranted reports:

Gentlemen:-My attention has been
called to an article in the World head

that | have not visited the Grant
county gas fields for 80 days, and was
not aware that oil had been struck.
No report has ever been made by
me on anything but the gas possibili-
ties of the ground. That we had the gas
and a good prospect to make we'll
am ready to stand by, but until see
the oil will make no statement as to
