father PURCELL TALKS OF
PRAYER At The CATHEDRAL

The Rev. Harold Purcell, o. p, i con-
Quoting retreat in the Cathedral this
week. Prayer was the subject of the
sermon last evening Father Purcell in
part said there is difference between
saying prayers and praying. The unfor-
tunate thing is that the vast majority
do not seem to know the difference and
what is still more unfortunate, they are
satisfied with saying prayers and do not
pray. Their praying consists mainly OF
a mechanical recitation of certain words
which they learned by heart when they
were children and which they recite
much after the fashion of a poll parrot
with a split tongue uttering words, OF
PLAYING a record on a graphophone
rather than intelligently and honestly
lifting their heart to God. which is the
very essence OF real prayer.
The speaker illustrated the difference
between uttering words Of prayer and
praying by reciting the different articles
that make up. the Lords Prayer and by
asking the congregation how many Of
them bring home TO themselves tho
meaning Of the words and sincerely say
the words OF sincerely intend the mean
ing that the words contain.

Captain r. X. Stephenson. The three
officers made application to be retired
some days ago.
While this action of the officers was
voluntary. under the requirements Of
the War Department. there was no place
left for them in the Organized Nilitia of
Delaware. there being hut two battalions
ions of four companies each now sta
TONED at Deming. y. NJ, and the War
Department viii not recognize as a regi-
ment unit Of less than three battalions
Of four companies each. Because Of this
fact. Colonel Townsend. who had been
recognized as commander Of the state
Militia for years; Captain Dillon, the
adiutani. and the Rev. Nrs Stephenson
the chaplain, could not SO with the two
beitalions when they We're sent to the
border. All three Of these officers have
served for years in the militia.

ISSUED an OINtI 10 the tutNA NhaA Nh-
M further orders the State military
forces will consist of and be known
as two separate battalions OF infan-
try. AS a matter Of fact il has been
a regiment in theory only. since be-
ing mustered out following the end
OF the Spanish-American war.
The First Infantry Band which has
been recognized as a regimental or
ganization is by this same order des-
ignated to continue as State organ
ization as heretofore. Under the rules
OF the War Department there can he
no musical organization with q unit
smaller than a regiment and for this
reason the First Infantry Band was
not required TO join the troops when
they were called for border duty. The
band. however, will be continued just
as n the State actually had regi-
ment until further orders.

Since afew DAYS We have
heard various rumors rela-
tive to the vacancy created
by the sad death of our good
and bereaved friend L H.
Marrero Jr., late District At
torney of the 2sth. Judicial
District.
UP to press time nothing
had been decidedly agreed up
on by the leaders of the three
parishes.
The last report indicated
that Senator L. Robert Ri
varde of Hahnville would be
the candidate for the District
Attorneyship, and Judge
James V. Chenet OF this pa
rish for the Judgeship.
It is contended that such a
plan would give equal re-
presentation to the three
parishes comprising the Dis
trict.

maud, ofLucy La, is slated
to succeed Attorney Rivarde
as Senator.
