Is or 20 years who turned his back on church and God; man who forget his promises made on his marriage day, to the swine.
 The great commander of our navy and army may call tomorrow for honest, true and faithfJ<f men. Christ honor is not confined to the high seas or foreign ports, but is at stake all over the world-attacked bys every sinner, and He says to us in the Len ten season come back to the house of the father. Back again to Peter, John and James, the apostles; Mary Imn1ac- u1ate and Joseph and the other good people who have passed through this life. Our perpetual prayer should be spirit of repentance and an early repentance. You men who wear the Holy Name badge, honor that badge and all that it stands for.
 Benediction of the most blessed sac rament was bestowed by Father Ken nedy.

HOW DEALERS Ma. USE
 AUTOMOBILE MARKERS.
Are for Adjusting, Testing and Demon
 strafing Under the Law.

The following letter having to do with auto dealers licenses issued by Secretary of State Frederick l.. Perry has been sent out:
 Question has arisen as to the use of dealers markers. Under the law they may be used for two purposes, and two purposes only. First, for ad- justing and testing; second, for dem onstrating an automobile to a nro- spective customer. This statute has been in force long enough so that there ought to be little sympathy wasted on those who claim to be ignorant of its provisions.
 Tt is better to have cases of viola ton come to this office after the courts have acted, but if the facts in par ticular cage so warrant we shall not hesitate to suspend or revoke those registrations whether a court has acted or not.
 There is no doubt that the great majority of the dealers in this state desire to live up strictly to the pro- visions of this statute, and injustice to them as well as in carrying out of official duty it may be necessary to deal with those who apparently do not intend to respect it's provisions"

ONE YEAR IN ARMY
 FOR ALL YOUNG MEN
Urged by Congressman Freeman in
 Speech in the House.

The adoption of plan for universal military training of all the young men in the United States was urged by Congressman Richard P. Freeman ot Connecticut, during the debate in the house of representatives last week over the army appropriation bill.
 MT. Freeman said he was not in sym pathy with the plan to increase the pay of enlisted men in the army as a means of encouraging enlistment of a hired body of men to protect the able bodied men of this nation. We should not delay the passage of laws that would require every young man in the United States to serve one year in the army, said MT Freeman The lessons of loyalty, patriotism and obedience, he said, would never be forgotten by the young men of the country who could well serve one year in the army at nominal pay wfthoue any economic loss to the United States.
 Universal compulsory military trim ing Mir. Freeman said. putting the son of the rich man and the poor man shoulder to shoulder. would create a wonderful army of democracy that would be of inestimable benefit to the country.

GREENEVILLE
Lenten Services at St. Mary's Church Rev. w. A. keefe Delivers Sermon -Ladies' Aid Meets-Notes.

The attendance was large at the Lenten services in St. Mary's church l on Tuesday evening. The exercises opened with the offering of the holy
 following which came the weekly Len
 ten sermon, which was delivered by
 Rev. William A. Keefe, rSe4or of St.
 Johns church, Plainfield. Father
 Keefe took for his theme Repentance
 and said in part:
 Of the many examples of repentance one comes home to us all in a most beautiful manner in the person of the prodigal son. This son was blessed with the luxury and happiness of a all these gifts, he becomes proud and the family circle is not large enough for him. He goes to his father and says to the loving benefactor of years gone by: l am young and strong. and he sacrifices all that a fond and low ing father and mother had prepared
 for him, that he might become Catholic gentleman. He asks for his a bargain with the business man in the market place.
 I say recall these cases time and time again where good priests advised the boys and girls to prepare well for Hfe's struggle. We see many today who have turned their. backs to good resolutions. But he insists that he must go out and see the world and refuSeS to be bound down by the ten commandments. Perhaps there are some here tonight who have been guilty of the same offense. On their first holy communion day made cer- tain promises to keep for life and later promises on their wedding day. Many promises have been broken and made many little children unhappy and ashamed of such prodigal who seek the worlds fun and amusement; share of immoral pleasures; share of satisfying their thirst for intoxicating liquor. Turn their back upon this altar and leave the promises of their first communion day from their life. The prodigal as he goes through life spends his money in riotous living and his friends look upon him as a fool. He sinks so low as to share the husks cast to the swine.
 Lots of friends shake his hand and take off their hats, but when his repu- tation becomes poor and sickness wis it's him no one but the poor old mother is left for his companion. How many who shared your company on Satw-s day night comes in to drive the tears from your wife's eyes? You can't find a case. Seek the human pleasures of life and enjoy them as you may, when youth and beauty are gone, wealth health and friendships and the years roll on you put your head in your hands and think it over-ashamed to think of your first communion day; emblem of purity on your arm; sacra- ment of Christ on the altar Stop and study the story of anybody the past
