The Slep fashioned doctrine of tbe truth and the importance of the resurrection got full recognition, even in war time, during the regular sermon at each mass. The pastor announced that as the nation was unhappily at war and as the price of foods would rise in consequence, the parish would throw open to free tillage several acres of land adjoining the cemetery Thus the families of many parishioners might assist themselves and their country by performing the patriotic duty of agriculture. The parish would plow the ground, assign the garden plots and furnish full in. struotions for cultivation. Several applications for ground came in soon after this announcement was made.

Outlines of the essential and non essential business done by congress, the few inadequate changes in the immigration bill, the matter of the federal government providing for vocational education, the lack of and need for an appropriation budget, the seemingly unwise provision for so many new post office buildings inst at this critical time. and the plan of direct and indirect taxation for war expenses were explained. The de. plorable present conditions in Europe and what led up to them were briefly touched upon. Particularly interest ing proved the story of the revolt within the Russian and Greek nations Mexico, from her own view points, made plain many articles in her new record breaking constitution.
