REV. w. A. KEEFE
AT ST. JOHNS CHURCH
Presented Graphic Word Picture of
Loyalty of Old World Catholics.

At a meeting held in St. Johns
church, Fitchville, Monday evening
under the auspices of the Holy Name
society of the parish, Rev. w. A. Keefe
of PIainfield was the speaker of the
evening. Following the Lenten devo-
tions which were conducted by the
pastor, Rev. David O'Donnell, the
speaker delivered his sermon, taking
for his text, Catholic Ideals. Father
Keefe presented a graphic word pic
ture of the loyalty of the old world
Catholics in preserving their faith
under the trials and conditions that
existed in many of the European
countries, and praised the devotion
of the Catholic pioneers who during
the last two generations had builded
in America a church organization that
was not eXcelIed in any country in
the world. He particularly praised
the Irish emigrants whose sturdy adj
herence to the duties of their religion
and whose spirit of self sacrifice had
made possible the erection of mainte-
nance of many of the churches, the
educational institutions and hospitals
that cover the United States from
ocean to ocean.
He paid a splendid tribute to the
siSterhood of the church, whose work
| in the Catholic schools and hospitals
of the country had won for them the
commendation of people of all demon
| nations. Father Keefe edited the
| congregation that filled st. John:
church by his eloquent sermon and al
the conclusion urged the members OF
the Holy Name society to be loyal tc
| the society under whose banner they
were enlisted and assured them thai
| if they were they would not only be
good Catholics but also patriotic
American citizens, as loyalty to churci
begot loyalty to country.

Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach, liver,
and bowel poisons before
breakfast.

To feel your best day in and day
out, to feel clean inside; no sour bile
to coat your tongue and sicken your
breath or dull your head; no consti-
patton, bilious attacks, sick headache,
colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid
stomach, you must battle on the in
side like you battle outside. This is
vastly more important, because the
skin pores do not absorb impurities
into the blood, while the bowel pores
do, says a well-known physician.
To keep these poisons and toxins
well flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink before
breakfast each day a glass of hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This will cleanse,
purify and freshen the entire alimen-
tary tract before putting more food
into the stomach.
Get a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from your pharmacist. II
is inexpensive and almost tasteless
except a sourish twinge which is not
unpleasant Drink phosphated hot
water every morning to rid your sys-
tenn of these vile poisons and toxins;
| also to prevent their formation.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became saturated with an &C.
emulation of body poisons, begin this
| treatment and above all, keep it upl
AS soap and hot water act on the
| skin, cleansing, sweetening and puri-
flying, so limestone phosphate and hot
| water before breakfast, act on tht
| stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels.

The first of theimission week services

The Right Rev. E. Campion Acheson

Lent bringsf US in closer touch with

taken from the 18th chapter Of the gos-

The love of God, our Father, goes
beyon being pitiful and merciful and
JesuSf in His teachings tells US thai
love is the base of the Fathers heart
We love because He first loved. The
baysf and inlets are full because the
seas are full. The mother loves hel

The terrible havoc of sin has de-
suSoyed many homes. Have you made

Have you some damnable thing II
YOUR home? Do you make people hap
by? Taking up the daily papers, We
read of people being killed in the war
but it does not compare with the de-
svastation and tragedy of homes.

of their children, wanting their son or
daughter to do this and that, but prob
ably you are not thinking of your son
coming home drunk, are you? No, we
don't think of that, we cannot bear it.
Bishop Acheson gave an illustration
of a boy who had wandered into the
far country and how shamed the father
felt to even walk down the street. That
is the way God feels for us. We are
intensely dear to him.
God never changes His love towards
us. He never forgets US and always
has some good news for us.
No matter how far we wander in the
far country, God is there waiting. and
| souls, we are His children. He puts
| His arm around US, throws the robe of
| charity about us. How are we going
| to love God? we hear people say. Peo-
pie say 1 don't see how.
| Friends love each other because they
| know each other intimately. They are
in close touch with each other. You
must know God the same way. Read
the gospel of Matthew, Mark, Luke
and St. John. Learn of God as re-
vealed in these scriptures by Christ
Read Paurs letters; they are for us.
A girl once wanted to leave home
because She. thought her father was
stingy. She held her head quite high
and wanted to know what her father
did with all his money. She bounded
him, and one day a friend who felt the
girl was wronging her father told hel
of the crime committed by her grand
father which was a disgrace. He said
your father is a saint. He is making
money to pay off a debt and stain OF
the family. The father worked tire
lessly to work off the family STAIN
The girl, hearing this, flushed anC
realized her wrong. God so loved the
world that He gave His only begotter
Son.
Bishop Acheson told of a boy flying
| a kite in London in the midst of fog
Someone. asked the lad what he was
doing. He said he was flying a kite
but, the stranger said, 1 don't see the
kite. But on taking hold of the string
he could feel the pulling and Juggling
So if we keep on praying we can fee
the pull of the Father. If you want
to know Him further, think. read. fol-
low, and work for Him, and you will
love God
