D. D., in Catholic Practice"

D. D., in Catholic Practice"
| AS the Church does not mention
! the use of Easter water outside of
these occasions, it is not necessary to
| take large quantity of it from the
church, but small vial of it is sufi.
Gent for the sprinkling of the house
and it's members, if it is desired, on
Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday.
How irreverent and even disgrace
full is not the frequent sight of Holy
Saturday of veritable mob of people
crushing around the vessel of Easter
water, clamoring for their supply,
clanking and rafting cans and bottles
and jugs, and spilling the sacred liquid
over the floor and trampling it with
their feet. A small vial of the water
could be obtained at any time on Holy
Saturday without danger of the aver
age parishioner being disappointed, if
The did not apply Immediately after
THE morning services.
On Holy Saturday when this water
is blessed, the prayer which is said
over it contains a reference to the
power given the water by God, "who
by secret mixture OF His divine vir-
tue may render this water fruitful for
the regeneration of men, to the end
that those who have been sanctified
in the immaculate womb of this divine
font, being born again new creatures,
may come forth as heavenly offspring,
and that all may be brought forth to
the same infancy by grace, their spirit
ual mother. May it be liv-
ing fountain, regenerating water, a.
purifying stream, that all those who
are washed in this saving bath may
obtain, by the operation of the Holy
Ghost, the grace of perfect rurifica-
tiOn.''
Holy Water, which is blessed at any
time, is consecrated with prayer that
God infuse the power of his benedic-
ton into it, that it may serve to ban
ish disease and sin, that Divine Grace
may take it's effect, and that whatever
house or place of the faithful is
sprinkled with it may be cleansed
from evil, and that all that may be
harmful to the peace and safety of the
inmates may be expelled by its asper-
sion.
The supply of holy water, as be-
comes it's sacred charter, should be
kept in a large, presentable bottle or
cruet, but not in a liquor bottle, or in
an open jar liable to gather dust and
form an unclean sediment
Holy water should, moreover, be
kept i'm fonts hung on the wall or door
frames of the principal rooms, espe-
cially in the bedrooms, that the men,
bers OF the family may sign or
sprinkle themselves with it occasion
ally, especially on retiring at night
and on arising in the morning
Holy water, both in church. and at
home, should not be used for any
other purpose but that intended by
the Church, namely, for blessings by
means of sprinkling. Any other use
of it is more or less of an abuse, which
is sometimes even disgusting.

"Sweethearts,' which possesses a
wonderful wealth of melody, as, in
fact, does all of the Victor Herbert
operas, has a book written by Robert
B. Smith, and tells a story of prin.
cess, who will be Florence Mackie,
and who has been secreted from in
fancy with the owner of laundry,
whose daughter she is supposed to be.
Three alleged diplomats, Frank Mou-
Ian, Raymond Crane and Jack Boyle,
conspire to find the girl and secure
her fortune. Unfortunately for them
selves, but to the great delight of the
audience, they mistake little laundry
queen, Eulalie Young, in fact, for the
missing princess, whereupon many
complications ensue, only to be
Strengthened out before the opera ends,
that tenor Henry Coote, of course a
real prince, may wed the true prin-
cess.

a small per centage Of the total num-
Der registered, the Department Of
Justice is determined that no such
number Of men shall evade military
service. Reports received by the de-
partment Indicate that the slackers arc
made up very largely Of three classes
Negroes, Mexicans along the border

man birth or parehtage, do not figure
extensively in the lists, All persons
rounded up have been ordered ar
rested, to be registered and have SER
ial numbers assigned to them by the
Adjutants- General Of their States.

H LOST DAY.

Tonight l know that l have lost
Somewhere between the far sunrise
And this, the dark, a jeweled day
That God has given me to prize;
I lost it for I failed to note
The tender beauty of the dawn;
l failed to breathe the dew-drenched
air
Before the sweet, wet dew was gone,
The cooling breeze l needed so;
did not pause the while to e
How wondrously the new leaves grow.
For all the day was full Of cares;
only looked me down to see
The briers that beset the way
To hold and fret and hinder me;
But now, tonight, o Lord, ! lie
And see with weary, world-tired
eyes
The tranquil splendor Of the lighted
skies.
And know some better thing is mine
Than this lost day-and l will go
No more forgetful Of Thy way.
Nor walk no more with eyes cast
low,
But looking, live and laugh and sing
Knowing that Thou would have il
so,
-Veritas.

THE BONDAGE OF FEAR" TODAY

Each persons big problem in life
must be solved by himself alone. This
fact is demonstrated in a sensational
and thrilling manner in the latest
World Picture Brady-Made "The Bon
dage Of Fear" which is coming to the
Greenwood Theatre today. Miss Ethel
Clayton the justly popular World star,
is the particular person who is faced
with a startling problem. For a time
the problem seems impossible of So
luton and then she takes matters in
to her own hands and finds the solu-
ton in a way to make spectators for
get to breathe while they are watching
to see how she does it. Miss Clayton
is supported by a more than excellent
company which includes Rockliffe Eel
loves, Arthur Ashley and John Bow
ers.

mans son,
Heard a policeman on his beat,
Say to a laborer on the street,
That he had a letter just last week
Written in the finest Greek,
From a Chinese coolie in Timbuctoo,
Who said the niggers in Cuba knew
Of a colored mar in a Texas town,
Who got it straight from a circus
clown,
That a man in the Klondike heard
the news,
From a gang of South American jews,
About somebody in Borneo,
Wheo heard a mar who claimed to
know,
Of a swell society female rake,
Whose mother-in-law will undertake
To prove that her seventh husbands

Has stated in a printed piece,
That she has a son who has a friend,
Who knows when the war is going to

RED CROSS ANNOUNCEMENT.

A call has been made for volunteers
to knit sweaters for the American
troops abroad. There is . need Of l.
5oO, OCO sleeveless sweaters and . COM
munication has been sent out from
Washington headquarters urging each
chapter to secure its quota OF these
articles.
It. is quite a fad now for the girls
to knit their own sweaters and some
have more than one. So girls get busy
and knit at least one sweater for some
Door soldier boy, and it will be such
a comfort to him this winter in the
cold damp trenches, or where ever he
may be.
II o will render such . service for
your country, call at the Red Cross
headquarters and the yarn will be fur
nished you. We also have knitting
needles for sale.
If there is any one who can not knit
sweaters but would like to contribute
the price of the yarn, it will be greatly
appreciated by the committee for it IS
very expensive.
Don't be slackers, but let every
Greenwood woman and girl get busy
knitting or sewing for u boys.
Do something. Even the tiny little
girls are tearing the scraps up into
strings and lacking them together, and
winding them into big balls 50 they
can be knit into floor mops for the
Red Cross hospitals. There is = place
for each to fill.
