TIME FOR CONVERSION
 IS NOW, THE PRESENT
To Proffer God the Wreck of Life and Health and Manhood is an Insult to His Majesty, Rev. Peter J. Cuny Tells St. Patrick's Congregation.

When is the time for conversion. To this question Rev. Peter J. Cuny answered with an emphatic "Now! Now, the present." in his sermon at the high mass in St. Patricks church yesterday, the twentieth Sunday after FentecoSt. The preacher had already explained that he was using the term conversion in it's broadest sense, trac- ing it's origin to the Latin "converto. ' complete turning around, right about face, turning to God as men would do if they realized Gods nearness, omni- potence. Father Cuny's text was from the prophet Hosea, ii. 24, And I will Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God"
 Conversion. this turning to the Al mighty, does net consist wholly in eX- merely, or in long prayers. multi loqui, which the apostle condemns becauJa those who utter them mean so little and say so much. It signifies rather drawing nearer to God, aiming at His perfection, and loving ones neighbor; doing to the latter as we would have him do to us-not doing him. as is apt to be the modern practice-and doing him first!
 The two great obstacles to perfect conversion are, first, lack Of that good will which Christ came upon earth to bring, and which is sadly lacking among men. and. secondly, bad habits {; that is, doing serious wrong continu- ously. Attention was directed to those idols which are shrined in the human heart, filling the place which should be devoted wholly to God.
 In the matter of imme ediate conver- sion. the preacher said it was an insult to the majesty of God to wait till one was a spiritual wreck or till the fabr1c Of body as well as mind was impaired and one was but parody of manhood. before throwing ones self at the feet O: God and saying Here, take mel" God deserves mans best and fullest service.
 At the offertcry the Bach-Gounod Ave Maria was sung by Edward T. Connolly, a Norwich young man who has been singing at the Auditorium theatre during the week. Mir. Connolly gave the superb composition in a voice of great dramatic power, having sympathetic and finished accompani- naent by 0rganist Frank l.. Farrell.

AN EXPERT ON COL pS

Comparatively few people realize that cold is a signal of physical weakness.
 To treat a cold with weakenin~ physics, alcoholic syrups or drugged riAs, may smother the cold but they also reduce the body powers still further and invite more serious sickness.

REGARDING SKfDDING AND
 THE EMERGENCY BRAKE
To Prevent Sliding the Driving
 Wheels Should be Kept Turning.

Upon the records of the Motor Vehi- cle Department a large percentage of serioush acciAents are charged to
 Investigation has led to the present conclusion that the skid is caused in cases where chains are not used, and such cases very largely predominate. by a lack of proper driving knowl- edge.
 To prevent sliding and skidding the driving wheels must be kept turning, and this is readily accomplished by keeping the engine coupled in gear An experienced and we'll trained oper- ator going down a grade or hill in wet weather, and usually at all times, nev- CT coasts, but invariably uses his en- zine in gear. For a long hill he will also turn off his ignition and use com pression and footbrake, and sometimes his emergency as well, to hold his car at proper speed. If all drivers would adopt this practice, skidding would soon be past history.
 At the hearings of the department, a large number of collisions between machines being considered, it has ap- peared the emergency or hand brake place. Only one possible reason for this presents itself. namely this brake is so rarely used for purposes of con trol of the car while in motion that the driver is not practiced in such use. Consequently when the emergency for which it could be useful confronts the driver, he does not use it because he is not trained and in readiness.
 As matter of fact this brake can be used to good effect for other pur- poses than to hold the car while at a and especially as an alter nate to the footbrake, going down grades and hills
 A great many cases of ovarheated and burned brakes can be saVed. if each brake does half the work. It is worth doing from the standpoint of economy and car service alone, aside from the training for use which will he deve1Oped
