THE PENITENT's CONFESSION.
to Be CIeansed-Rev. Myles p. GAL
vim breaches at ST. Patrick's Church.

Yesterday in the Roman Catholic
church was the third Sunday after
Epiphany. The gospel read at all the
masses was from Matt. viii. lib. mar
rating the miracle of the cleansing of
the leper. The preacher at the high
mass in ST. Patricl1's church was Rev.
Myles P. Calvin. whose text was chos-
en- from the days gospel and was the
beseeching cry of the leper, SLord, if
Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean"
On Saturday night, in every city,
said the preacher, there win be those
who will separate themselves from
the thoughtless, gay crowds in the
streets, to enter the open door of some
Catholic church. Perhaps among these
persons may be some man who goes
as did the leper, unmoved by looks of
derision or aversion from the crowd
because Gods grace has come to his
soul and with 1t a yearning to be
made clean. Years may have elapsed
since such moment of grace has
come to that soul before. There may
be crimes, sins, staining it with lepro-
sy which only God can cleanse.
AS such a penitent kneels before the
church altar, he beholds the crucifix,
image of the dying Christ. Looking
into his own soul repulsive in its
leprosy of sin. he realizes that he has
caused the sufferings of that dying
Saviour. that he has rejected, Offend
ed, insulted God.
He might despair. did not Chrict in
wife him to return, as did the Prodi-
gal Son to his Fathers house, with a
promise of pardon even for the most
terrible of sins. He is encouraged too,
by the Saviour's promise, Come un-
to Me, all We who labor and are
heavily burdened, and / will refresh
you' Whose sins We shall fogive,
they are forgiven"
In the quiet of the church, the peni-
tent enters the confessional, his
Thoughts on God and on his soul. Here
at the court of earthly justice, he is
at once the criminal and his own ac-
cuser. The Judge is one who, like
himself, knows what it means to be,
as St Paul says, encompassed by hui
man fnfirrnities.
In sincerity and sorrow the peni-
tent recounts the evil deeds perhaps
of years 1t is the cry of the leper to
the loving, compassionate Saviour,
Lord. if Thou wilt, Thou canst make
me clean" There is joy in the heart
of the judge. that another soul has
been brought back to his Fathers
house.
After the absolution Is pronounced,
that man goes out, the scales of SIM
leprosy cleansed from his soul. prom
ising amendment and reparation for
his misdeeds. His contrftion has been
genuine. his soul has been freed from
the awful burden of sin, he has
courage to begin life again after his
wasted years. his leprosy cleansed.

GUARDSMEN MAKING
READY FOR INSPECTION
Fedora! Officers Are to Look Over
Property This Month.

| Great activity prevails in National
Guard circles all over the state in
preparation for the annual federal in
| of this month From the point of
view of the commander of a military
organization, this annual winter in
spection is one of the most important
events of the year. for it is upon the
report made by the regular army Off
GERS -retailed to inspect the state mill
itary establishment that the amount
of the appropriation from the United
States government depends. And be-
cause of the wide interest in the state
of the military forces of the country,
every national guard organization is
making special effort to make a fine
showing at the coming Inspections.
I. Major Edward A. Shuttleworth, des-
fgnated by the war department to car
~ out the inspections of the two in
fantry regiments in Connecticut en-
phasizes the Importance of the show
ing made in the coming inspections in
determining the attitude of the public
at large toward the militia.
The reports made by the regular
army inspectors in the various states
of the union will be promptly for
warded to Washington and will very
quickly be made public. When pub
lished, the results will he examined
much closer than heretofore by the
members of congress.
II these reports are satisfactory, and
the forces of the national guard are
shown to be in good shape, congress
will be much more likely to increase
the appropriation for the militia If,
on the other hand, the reports as
whole are unsatisfactory, no increased
appropriations can be expected.
At the federal inspections com
plete examination is made of all gov
eminent property in the possession
of the state. The. commanders of
companies are held personally respon-
sible for the property entrusted to
them. An examination is also made
at the same time of the records of
each company during the previous
year.

SEA TONNAGE LITTLE KNOWN
Nautical Terms That Landsn,sn a. Q
General Thing Has Small 40
quaintance With.

There is a great deal Of confusion
in the public mind regarding the
tonnage" or displacement" of
ships, and with good reason, for
there are four distinct methods of
calculating tonnage. In the case of
warships the term displacement is
almost always used. The displace-
ment tonnage is the space occupied
by the vessel in the water. The
amount of water displaced by the
ship is equal in weight to the ship
and all it contains. As one ton is
equal to 35 cubic feet Of water. the
displacement tonnage is found BY di-
viding the number Of cubic feet Of
water displaced by 35. when the ship
is immersed up to its load line.
Gross tonnage lie term commonly
applied to merchantmen. In ealcu-
lating il, the whole interior capacity
Of the ship below the tonnage deck is
found, including that Of all covered
in spaces on deck used for stowage.
and the result in cubic feet is divided
by 100. Net register tonnage is the
gross tonnage minus 81 the spaces
used for the accommodation Of the
crew and instruments and the work
ing parts Of the ship. The dead
weight tonnage is the measure Of the
exact amount Of cargo . ship can
carry with safety.

YOUNGSTERS VIEWS or LIFE
70 BE Compelled 10 Give Affection 10
Something They Cannot A.
ways Understand.

The world seems to be full of what
may be called canalized emotions.
One is supposed" to love ones aunt
or ones grandfather in a certain
definite way, at the risk Of being "un-
natural" One gets almost a sense
Of the quantitative measurement of
emotion. Perhaps the greatest trag-
edy Of family life is the useless en-
ergy that is expended by the dutiful
in keeping these artificial channels
open, and the correct amount Of cur
rent running. 1t is exactly this that
produces most infallibly the rebellion
Of the younger generation. To hear
that one ought to love this or that
person; or to hear loyalty spoken Of
as the older generation SO often
speaks Of il, as il il consisted in an
allegiance to something which one
no longer believes in-this is what
soonest liberates those forces Of mad
ness and revolt which bewilder spir-
itusl teachers and guides. 1t is ex-
actly those dry channels of duty and
obligation through which no living
waters Of emotion flow that it is the
ideal Of the younger generation to
break up. They viii have no net
work Of emotional canals which are
not brimming, no duties which are
not equally loves. = Randolph s.
