After this speech Of cur captain we
were loaded on our autos and at a.
In order 10 make this historical &C.
casion we were ordered TO give three
cheers. On the speedy autos we
reached our goal at 10 a. m. 1t was a
beautiful little rural village. Inhabi-

We all got the impression that these
country people never knew why we
came 10 Belgium. They were fright
ened out Of their sleep and looked out
at US from their windows.
AS we halted and left our autos, the
farmers came out and offered US cof-
fee, bread. meat. etc. We were still
without field kitchen, so that we en-
joyed the elemy's offerings more so
since those Of the better class OF vii
layers refused any pay. They told US
the Belgian soldiers had departed to
some unknown destination.
After a short rest we marched on.
The autos returned. Hardly had we
marched an hour when we were over
taken by cavalry. Dragons and hus-
sars, who reported that the Germans
were marching all over the neighbor-
hood On all roads. Right behind came
the bicycle corps.
This was comforting. We no longer
felt alone, isolated in q strange coun-
try. Another bicycle division over
took us and passed on. Angry words
were now uttered by members Of our
company. The others could ride but
We had to walk. What we had always
taken for granted suddenly became
great injustice. If it did no good our
grumbling at least was a diversion
from the weight Of our packs.
The heat was oppressive. The sweat
came from all pores. The new and
stiff leather trappings rubbed us sore,
especially upon our hips. 1t was a re-
lief at 2 p. m. to halt at an abandoned
farm and rest on the grass. We
might have lain down about ten min
utes when suddenly we heard firing.
We jumped up like Lightning and hur-
ried to our guns. The firing which
was about three kilometers away grew
more lively. At once we were on the

Practically al of the roads are being

in session, they deliberated, the treaty
Of peace was signed. They returned
to their governments, and what they
had enacted received the ratification
of approval. The two powers nat
urally sustained their representatives
who had been duly accredited and
sent. In like measure the priest in
Confession, being properly commits
stoned to adjudicate in matters spir-
itual, has authority to forgive sins in
Gods name.
The recital of sin is not what is
interpreted by going to Confession
The telling of faults is the least i'm
portant part of the doctrine. The
main and all-essentia1 element is sor-
row for the sins committed No one
mot even God---can forgive man s
sins unless he has sorrow for them
and determination to enter a life Of
Righteousness. A humble and con-
trite heart God will not despise, but
the priest must be morally certain Of
the humility and contritien before he
would dare pronounce words of abso-
luton.
There is one fatal facility in obtain
ing pardon in the confessional. The
narration of misdeeds in phonograptic

fashion avails nothing; injured repu-
tation must be restored, ill-gotten
goods returned TO their rightful own
ers, the man living in the immediate
OCCASION of sin must make, practical
resolution to cut away from unlawful
associations, even though his heart
be at the root
''Voltaire, the scoffer, who hated re-
ligion with an extraordinary inten-
sity, paid high tribute to the social
and spiritual value of the confess
sional Strange doctrine it was that
came from one who repudiated Cathol-
icism, who used TO experience per-
sona11y the worth of the sacramento
confession. There is no more wise
institution than that Of the confess
sional he declared Tt is an excel
lent thing---a bride on inveterate
crimes. 1t is excellent for disposing
hearts, liberated with hatred to for
give and the unjust to repair the in
juries they may have done to their
neighbors. The enemies Of the Ro-
man church who oppose so salutatory
an institution have taken away from
man the greatest check that can be
put on iniquity.'"

rescue; He commanded Moses to
strike the rock from which the water
gushed forth. When Paul was IN
horsed on the road to Damascus and
struck blind, He sent him to His SER
want in the city, who restored and
baptized him.
And so in the ministry of Confess
sion God uses man as His represent
alive in the forgiveness of sin. No
Catholic believes that any priest has
any inherent power to pronounce
words of absolution. He is a man
solely, and no man can evolve in his
brain or soul divine faculties. But
by the fact of His valid ordination to
represent Christ the priest can exer-
else the power delegated to him in
the forgiving of guilt

DOCTRINE OF
DEATH never
Been DENIED

Last evening at the Mission services
preached by the New York Apostolate
Fathers in the Blessed Sacrament
church, Father F'adden dwelt on the
attitude of the Papacy to the world,
and on the effort of Benedict XIV. to
establish a permanent peace on the
basis of fundamental justice and
right. Father Fleming preached on
the theme Death" and declared that
while men have denied the doctrine
Christ's divinity, the doctrine of the
souls immortality, no man has ever
questioned the doctrine of death.
This morning at O'Clock mass,
Father Wickham explained the doc
tr1ne of Confession. He said in part:
THE greatest day in the life of
Christ on earth was the day of the
Resurrection, when His rising from
the dead proved Him to be God The
doors were shut where the disciples
were gathered together for fear of the
Jews, and Jesus came and stood in
the midst Of them and said, Peace be
to you And when He had said this
He showed them His hands and His
side. His disciples, therefore, were
glad when they saw the Lord. He
said, therefore, to them again. peace
be to you. AS the Father hath sent
me also send you When He had
said this He breathed on them and
said to them, Receive We the Holy
Ghost; whose sins you shall forgive
they are forgiven them, and whose
sins you shall retain they are re-
tained.'
THE Catholic church takes the
above quoted words of Christ as the
Scripture basis for the doctrine of
Confession. The Apostles and their
legitimate successors were empowered
to act as ambassadors of Christ in the
| forgiveness of sin. Man was not
usurping the right of God God was
not abdica.ting His prerogatives; God
was employing human agents in the
execution of His designs, as He sim
fairly acted on divers other occasions
| When Jehovah resolved to deliver
the Jews from Egyptian bondage he
appointed a man as their deliverer---
Moses. When God wished them to
escape the pursuit of Pharoah across
the Red Sea He did not intervene di-
rectly. He bade Moses to raise his
hands over the waters and they were
Instantly divided. When the people

"Is it noteworthy in a community
that those who have faith in the sac
rament of confession are less strong
in mind and heart, less concerned
with the things of education, less in
tense in loyalty to national ideals,
less willing to endure hardship in the
country's defense? In America men
