SKILLED AUTO MECHANICS
BADLY NEEDED IN FRANCE
Many Men Must Be Obtained Immcdi-
ntely to Maintain Y. NJ. G. a.
transportation System.
URGENT APPEAL is ISSUED
Chairman Bemiss Declares Richmond
Must Furnish Chauffcurs and
Mechanics Before August q to Meet
Demands Now Being Made.

Skilled mechanics for the mainteu-
! ance of the necessary transportation
system of the Y. NJ. G. 4. behind the
firing lines in France are so badly
needed that L.. l.. Bemiss. chairman of
the Richmond recruiting committee. is
sued a special appeal yesterday for tho
immediate services of such men. The
! need for mechanics is urgent. and their
services are vital to the operation OF
the supply system.
Conditions have changed SO rapidly
m recent weeks that n call has been
sent out to the entire country for hun
drcds of mechanics. Efforts arc now
being made by the recruiting committee
IN R'chr ond TO obtain as mar;' men
as possible 1t once. all enlistments be-
ing necessary by August g. The drive
here Will be unusually intensive.

SYSTEM UNDER ALL CONDITIONS
Not only are skilled automobile me-
rhanicS ''adly needed at this time. but
the services Of many chauffcurs arc
ais" wanted 1t this time. One of the
greatest services rendered to the sol.
diers i'm France by the Red Triangle is
dependent upon the successful main.
tcnance of an adequate transportation
system. This problem has been ore
of the most difficult which the Y. II.
c. a has been forced to solve
the vital part the
automobile is playing in the "Y" work.
it must be remembered that to-day tn,
railroads arc used for military pur.
poses only. and as a consequence the
Red Triangle is dependent upon the
motor car. Speakers. entertainers and
workers OF all kinds must be trans
ported from place 10 place by this
means.
The supplies handled in tremendous
volume by the y. NJ. C. y. in ministerins

When 1t is remembered that $780,
100000 worth of goods will be sold
through the cantecn service taken over
by the Y. NJ. c. y. ut the instance Of the

she could not find time to visit the
Blessed Sacrament. 1t was so little
and poor, and she herself was poor,
so she could not give riches, as her
longing heart desired, but gladly,
adoringly, she gave love and service
to the Inmate of the Tabernacle.
There were many things she could
do, and Father Grey, realizing that
he could never ask too much of her,
learned to depend on her for many
things. Always she went about her
work in the sanctuary with thought
of Nazareth-its joy, it's sunshine
and passing the Tabernacle she would
think how frequently the Virgin
Mother, busy though she was caring
for that dear home of Nazareth, must
have paused to kneel in alteration be-
side the crib, where slept the little
Jesus.
Who could dream of the wealth of
love that Mary put into the humble
household tasks! With what tender
thought and patience did she work,
and Saint Joseph's also, beautiful and
joyous, because it was performed for
the Holy Child alone.

So near for them, SO precious, the
Nazareth sunshine, so far as yet only
a cloud on the horizon, the suffering
of dark Calvary, and here in the
church was another Nazareth. Here
in this Tabernacle was contained the
marvel of the Hidden Life of the
Word Incarnate.
1t was Martha Langtry who kept
the sanctuary clean and free from
the least speck of dust, and still her
unworthy hands that cared for linens
and the affairs.
1t was a pity the church was so
poor, and the roof leaked dreadfully.
1t had been repaired again and again,
and finally could be repaired no
longer, and Father Grey faced the ap-
palling fact that they must have a
new church. A committee was form
ed, made up of the best men workers
of the parish, and few subscriptions
were collected at once. Many more
splendid promises of help were given
and a charming, artistic new church
of Saint John was begun.

Chaplain Dead.-A despatch from
Hot Springs, Ark, on Wednesday,
April 10, announced the death of the
Rev. Patrick P. Carey, chaplain of the
United States army. Father Carey
was a New York priest and was a
retired army chaplain, when, a month
ago, he was recalled by the War De
partment for active service, At that
time Father Carey was pastor of ST.
Gregory's Church at Harrison, N. Y.
Father Carey died of pneumonia at the
War Hospital, at Hot Springs, where
he had been assigned for duty.
College GirIs.-The Liberty Loan
parade held in Terre Haute, Ind, was
unquestionably the finest and largest

most striking features of the patriotic
affair was the presence of the young

lege, who, led by a military band and
wearing their caps and gowns, evoked
the enthusiastic applause of the thou
sands of spectators. These young
ladies are intent on patriotic work

Then work stopped abruptly. The
promised subscriptions were not
being paid. Daily Father Gray grew
more harassed and troubled. The old
church would not hold together much
longer. He had already cut down all
possible expenses and except for a
mere pittance he kept to live on had
gladly, emptied in the church Golfers
what should have been his salary
Though most of his parishioners
were poor, there were well-to-do peo-
pie among them, and it was these who
were forgetting their promises.
Discouraged at last, with strong
earnest words, the priest laid the
matter before the congregation one
Sunday, reminding them that it was
not himself he was pleading for, nor
any mere human being, but for the
Lord Christ that He might have a
home to shelter Him.
Would they not make room for Him,
or would they turn Him from their
doors, as long ago the people of Beth
lehem had done? To assist in the
building of church was to work per-
sonally in the service of God. Had it
not been at His command and in
obedience to His directions that the
first wonderful temple at Jerusalem
had been erected.

Had not Christ Himself taught daily
in later one at the Holy City, and
daily, lovingly, the same Christ
teaches and lives in every Catholic
temple, for He delights to be with
the children of man, for He, the lover
of lilies, is also lover of men.
Instantly a great longing filled
Martha Langtry's heart. So many
beautiful gifts and consultations had
come to her from the gracious Pres
ence in this Tabernacle, if only she
could do something for our Lord now
in return! Freely she had received;
would that it were possible freely also
to give! Yet she realized sorrowfully
that she could not give. She could do
nothing Would the dear Lord under
stand? Would He accept her desire
and bless her prayer now that others
might be inspired to give lavishly to
their Lord?
A long time after Mass she knelt,
praying fervently, and when at last
she rose and left the church she was
cOmforted somewhat; for after all, it
was love that made all gifts beautiful
and acceptable, and it was only the
love that went into the erection of
church that counted in the sight of
God, no matter how fair or beautiful
they might seem in the sight of men.
And had she not given all her love to
Christ? She had kept nothing back,
even her Mary. She had given Him,
as the pledge, the sacrifice of her
dearest love.
She had reached home, and for one
moment as she crossed the threshold
a shadow touched her face. There
were more than the usual cares to be
met with at present, for short time
ago, Jimmy, running to catch a car,
had fallen and sprained his ankle.
He was laid up now, and the family
was living on the very small fund care
fully set aside by strict economy for
a rainy day, and though Mrs. Langtry
gave her spare time to sewing, she
had had no skill in keeping up with
the fashions, so she only attempted
plain sewing, and, of course, she did
not have much time even for that
How was it then, that persistently,
ever. annoyingly, the thought con-
tinued to return to her that she must
give something toward the erection
of Gods temple? Again and again she
told herself that it was foolish fancy,
for she had nothing in the way of
jewels or valuable trinkets that could
be disposed of.

/
There had been a little while of
silence, and the mothers soul had
battled with swift temptation not
to refuseno, but to delay that she
might have her Mary with her Just
little longer. The next instant she
had given her consent, realizing that
God willed it, and God called, and had
prayed the Divine blessing for her
child's desire, while her hands had
rested as in benediction on those same
bright curls.
All, here was a keepsake that
would bring the truest consolation to
the mother heart, and would be
guarded as her dearest treasure.
Often in the days of loneliness that
followed, when she realized acutely
that her daughters loved companion
ship was thing of the past, she had
only to look at those golden tresses
to receive comfort.
But her sacrifice brought it's reward
in another manner Christ will not
be outdone in generosity, and little
by little He showed her more beauti-
full and higher ways of holiness, while
He drew her close and even closer to.
