Congregation Stands in Silent Pledge of Loyalty en Second Liberty Loan Sunday.

The eccie sAstical year Is nearing it's close. yesterday being the twenty first Sunday after Pentecost. The lesson ss rssd at all t: assss of tse was aay s m paui's eptstle to the Ephesians, vi. to- IT. The days gospel was Matt. xviii. 2s+35, the parable of the ungrateful debtor. At the high mass in St; Pat preached from text in this gospel, his theme being the human will.
 Men are Gods creatures; they owe to Him the very breath they breathe. yet. God has given to man one free and Independent power, the will Man has the ability to choose whether he wiz do good or evil; hence if man sin, his act is without excuse or pailiation, choice.
 Instead, of willing to serve God by e;evoting life and strength to obedi- epce to Gods commands, the majority suit of the pleasures. deceits. follies and vanities of this world, perhaps in the acquirement of money, unjustly accumulated and sinfuiiy spent. Or of their will every evil habit thought, desire and act although at the first the will may have loathed such com panioas and have desired to cast them cut: but man has deliberately chosen them.
 The preacher admenished his hear CTS to be mindful of the time when. whatever they may now say and do and think, each must acknowledge God as his Lord and Master, in the Day of joy in heaven or for an eternity of anguish among the damned. They were exhorted to cast ont the idols of evil habits. turning the will toward undivided service to- God.

Although designed for 150 infants, there are 200 there at present. A proposed rev wing will make it ca pabiA of holding 300 ba bies, and it is toward this that the bonds will go.

A LIMITED COMPULSORY
MILITARY SERVICE

Have we form Of modified COM
pulsory military service in this coun-
try?
This question is prompted by the
recent action Of the President, in bis
capacity as commander-in-chief, in
approving a sentence of court martial
passed upon Lewis o. Gardner of the
New Mexico National Guard.
Gardner was an enrolled member of
the Guard in his State at the time of
tn mobilization ordered last June and
he was one of large number who
resisted being mustered into the SER
vice of the United States. His COM
rades who joined in this refusal at
the outset, weakened when threatened
with court martial and took the oath.
Gardner remained obdurate, stood
trial and was sentenced to dishonor-
able discharge and to year imprison-
ment at hard labor. This sentence
has just received the Presidential ap-
proval.
Army officers regard the case as an
important one and look upon it as ap-
plying in it's essence to the ten thou
sand or so Of other Guardsmen
throughout the country who refused
to enter the eFderal service last sum-
aer.
II this view is correct, it means that
every member Of the National Guard
may be held for duty with the Fede-
raj colors upon the Presidents call
and to that extent provides for COM
pulsory military service. 1t may also
have bearing upon the situation Of
those Guardsmen who have been re-
turned from the border and who have
declined to continue their service in
the ranks under State authority. 1t
was generally understood that every
Guardsmen who went to Texas last
summer was obligated to six years
duty in some form. The exact nature
Of that duty has never yet been for
mulated. but it is known that very
large percentage of most Of the regi-
ments brought back home have re-
turned with the motto "Never again"
as relating to service in the Guard.
II the present ruling applies to
them, it is evident that compulsory
military duty is fact with more than
a hundred thousand of the young
men Of the country.
