The Proper Care Of Woodwork.
Every day sees new household con-
yenienee put on the market. Between
every woman's trips 10 the shops, there
are added in the household departments
Just as many new, novel and desirable
things as there are In the costume de-
partments. Practically every woman
makes point of seeing the newest
gowns and frocks, OF getting a hat that
Is in accord with the mode, and of wear
inp the sort OF comfortable but pretty
shoes that are now being introduced
But does she insist upon keeping her
home up TO date, upon cquipping her
kitchen, laundry, pantrles, living room
and bedrooms with the implements, uten'

she needs, ii she would make honsework

MARRIAGE, THE SACRAMENT.
Rev. Peter J. Cuny at St. Patrick's Church Gives First in Series of Ser mons on This Theme.

The first sermon in a series on Mat rimony was given in St. Patrick's church Sunday at the high mass by Rev. Peter J. Cuny. The catechism Catholic man and Catholic woman in Christian wedlock. God instituted matrimony in the Garden of Eden; and in Genesis its purpose is expressed: :: Increase and multiply and fill the earth, and subdue it."
 Matrimony was advanced by Christ to the dignity of sacrament. As such it is held by the Catholic church, which rules that every marriage con- tract, to be valid, must be made in the presence of the parish priest, or one delegated by him, and in the presence of two witnesses.
 The state, too, imposes regulations in the matter of marriage, such as the necessity of license, etc., and in this consideration of marriage as a con- tract and the obligations which it inn poses, the church agrees with the state.
 Marriage and the assumption of it's divinely instituted responsibilities is enjoined by the Catholic church; yet, the preacher said, many non-Catholics Catholic priests, who advise marriage for their people, themselves do not marry?
 This question he answered in three ways: First, the number of priests Is very small minority among the mill lions constituting the Catholic church secondly, this is a free country and of their own free will priests choose celi- bacy; third, the Catholic church has found that her priests can do better work when not hampered by family cares.
 The preacher touched upon the mod ern evils referred to variously as race suicide, birth control and the like, by which. in many marriages, the purpose of matrimony is defeated and which are merely new names for an old sin the perpetrator of which, as scripture records, was slain by God for his abominations. As the original race of New England is dying out, through this shirking of family responsibilities. so, he predicted, must the English speak ing members of the parish die out leaving to others who live in accord with natures laws the beautiful church edif1ce, built by their fathers, who had faith in God and in His sacraments- including the sacrament of matrimony unless modern evils and tendencies be corrected.

B. Y. p. U. CONDUCTED
 EVENING CHURCH SERVICE,
MoFanmedanism Was Topic at Gen.
 tral Baptist Church.

There was a large attendance at the Sunday evening service at the Central Baptist church, which was conducted by the B. Y. P. U., one of the promi- nent societies of the church. The or der of service included special ad- dresses and chorus of 32 voices led the singing.
 The opening hymn was Hail to the Brightness, and this was followed by a missionary chant. The address of welcome was delivered by Henry A. Covey, president of the B. Y. P. U., and the scripture selection was read by Walter N. Block. The Banner of the Cross was rendered by the chorus and Rev. Joel B. Slocum, D. D., the pastor, offered prayer After the offertory the of The Fight is On.
 The topic of the evening was Mo- hammedanism and the introduction was given by Miss Ethel P. Adams In her address Miss Adams said it is not necessary to call attention to the eco- homie. social and educational develop ment of the native races of South Africa, which development has ad- vanced steadily through the past two or three generations. In no period has the progress been more marked. The transformations which have taken place in the upper Nile region of the Sudan within the last five years con- stitute one of the most encouraging examples Of progress to be found in any part of the non- Christian world.
 The second address was Mohammed- anism in Africa and was delivered by Percy A. Billings. Mir. Billings said that two forces are contending for Arica-Christiani and Mohammed- anism. In many respects the more ag- gressive is Mohammedanism. The ab- sorption of native races into Islam is proceeding rapidly and continuously in practically all parts of the continent. Wherever a Mohammedan penetrates, he makes converts to Islam. Pagan ism is doomed, animistic faiths crum- bIe quickly before any higher and more dogmadc religion. Either Chris tianity or Islam will prevail through out Africa, and Islam Is pushing hard to win the pagan states and peoples.
 Richard W. Arnold made the final address, his topic being Results in Central Africa. MT. Arnold told of the explorations in Central Africa in the past generation and of the develop ment of that part of the world which is coming into the light of civilization. He told of the railway construction, the excellent roads that have been built, the 5000 miles of telegraph lines now in operation and the great in- crease in the mail service.
 After Mr. Arnold's address the chor- us rendered Stand Up. Stand Up for Jesus, and Dr. Slocum made a brief address. The closing hymn was Ger trude.
 Mex Sunday evening Master Harry Brown Allen. the noted boy cornetist, of Occum. will be heard at the service

THOUGHT THEY HAD
 BURGLAR CAUGHT
GreeneviIIe Family Frightened by Brother-in-Law Who Came Early Sunday Morning.

How e young man from the Cam terbury road looking for a bed at his brother-in-law's home on Fourth street about 1.30 Sunday morning was taken for a burglar or a hold-up man by his relatives. was the story that was told later in the day to some confidential friends.
 Weary from attending the mas- querade at the Maennerohor. the Can terbury man thought 1t would be easier to stop at his brother -1aw's over night than to go to his own home. His knocks at the door woke up the family inside who, from behind the closed front door. asked who was there. As the man on the outside failed to give any answer but kept on knocking because he had not heard their ques- ton, the people in the house got the idea that something desperate was in the wind.
 Leaving the man still knocking al the front door they slipped quietly out a back way and down to the Greene vile police station from which they returned with two policemen and a plan to bag the man, who still kept ur persistent rapping.
 Through the back way and through the house the party reached the front door, where they suddenly sprung il open and had the supposed intruder in the hands of the police in a minute
 Release for him followed as quick. ly when the man of the house saw that they had bagged his own broth er-in-law
