PUTTING HEAVY STRAIN
 ON TELEPHONE SERVICE

Sickness among the operators of the telephone company while not of epidemic proportions and. perhaps, not as great as ill some private busi- ness enterprises. factories, etc., has created a shortage of these public servants and has slowed down the usual high standard Of service. With the shortage of operators comes an abnormal use of the telephone. due to the great amount Of sickness throughout the state and to the bliz- gard, which cOmpels the girls on duty to shoulder a traffic burden nearly double that of ordinary requirements.
 Cooperation from the publicN will do much to Tighten the burden now carried by the operE>0rs and to im- prove the telephone service. By using the telo ~1 one sparingly and only for necessary calls much relief will be given. A prompt answer when the bell rings will help and if the telephone users will be sure of the telephone number wanted before calling, further relief will be given. Wrong number calls double the work of the operators.
 The epidemic of sickness creates an avalanche of urgency calls; the pres ent weather causes a greater busi- ness use of the telephone and these influences combined have~brought the telephone equipment and telephone workers to a state of intense action with which the public should show consideration.

shoulasr Your Own Errors.

We are shallow and selfish and lack ing in dignity when we play one thing against another to gain our. ends Is 1t that we cannot think largely. com prehensively enough to realize that when we disown responsibility for our actions and sayings we are refecting upon others to their hurt and discom- fiture? It Is almost as great crime to be indifferent or unheedful of these matters as to be malevolent. There is something radically wrong with us in- nately if we cannot sponsor our own individual ideas and opinions without making some one butt for them.- Exchange.

THE PARABLE OF THE SoWER
 FIR. GALVIN'S SERMON THEME

Interrupting his series of sermons on the creations of God, Rev. Myles P. Calvin preached at the 10.30 mass in St. Patrick church Sunday from text in the gospel read during all the masses of that day, which was Sexagesima Sunday-He who hath ears to hear let him hear, from the parable of the sewer, Luke viii. 4-15. Instead of the customary high mass, Rev. Peter J. Cuny read a low mass, shortening the Service as a precau- tionaFy measure during these times of illness in the parish and of severe weather conditions. For the same reasons afternoon vespers was omit ted. The regular choir, directed by Organist Frank l.. Farrell, sang DOT tions of several masses in accord with the abbreviated service.
 ''Tle seed is the word of God" the Saviour's eXTfanation to the disci- ples, furnished Father Calvin the suggestive thought which he develop ed into a most practical and perti- nent sermon. This is the word which all Catholics have heard from the pulpit through the regularly appoint ed ministers which has been taught them in. needed advice in the confess sional which they have read in their Bibles and in other religious books.
 
 four kinds of Catholics The first kind, the seed sown by the wayside, is those restless and impatient church goers, seoffers at religion, who do not apply it's teachings to themselves. The seed which fell up- on the rock typifes those who reeog- nize their need of gospel admonitions, make good resolutions, yet postpone putting these into effect. The seed choked by the thorns means a class of men who, hearing the teachings of their church, feel that they are not getting what they should out of their lives. resolve to do better, yet go away, after Sunday service, to yield to the temptation of Satan who acts upon them through some pet weakness, indulgence, or vice, possi. ply because they have put themselves in the occasion of sin. At the last, the good seed is typ.cal of the great majority of Catholics, who hear the word of God, not to quibble or criti- else ,net because tfa preacher may Or may MDe Se eloquent, but with the
