FRESH AIR CHILDREN COMMENDED
 TO ST. PATRICK's CONGREGATION

From the pulpit of St. Patricks church at the three masses Sunday the attention of the congregation was called to the fact that again this season the New York Tribune is sending children from the tene- ment districts into the country for two weeks outing each.
 At the high mass Rev. Myles P. Calvin noted that undoubtedly there would be Catholic children among those to be sent into Connecticut, expressing the convic- ton that there were many charitable persons who would take an interest in receiving such little visitors into their homes and seeing that they were provided two weeks of enjoyment and wholesome surroundings. Father Calvin requested any such well disposed members of the parish to communicate with any member of the committee representing St. Pat rick's church in this fresh air project Mrs Thomas F. Burns Mrs. James H. Canty and Mrs. NJ. V. Murphy.
 Continuing in his series of sermons on The Works of Creation. Father Calvin considered the birth of Christ the Ex- pected One, the Messiah so long hoped for and foretold, who came under circum- stances to teach the world the' virtues op- posed to those three great vices which cause men to lose their souls-nride avarice and sensuality. The shepherds of Bethlehem. accorded the wondrous priv ilege of adoring the newly-born Babe in the manager, need not he envied by Cath olics. who, if they will but realize the full meaning of the Saviour's own words have in the holy sacrament of their altars the same Incarnatee Son of God. to seek for solace, strength against temptation aid even in temporal needs.

THREE RAILROAD MEN
 FOR SUPERIOR COURT

In the New London police court Satur- day Andrew Monahan, George E.. Church and Ernest Piummer. all employees of the New Haven railroad in the yard at Fort Neck. the former q yard foreman and the latter hrakemen. were held for trial in the superior court for the theft of a barrel of potatoes from a car on the morning of June 25. soon after midnight Bonds for each were set at s75o, which were fur nished.
 The etestimony of Caleb Green, de- tective of the company. was that he caught the men in the act of taking the potatoes from the car by removing a board that was nailed across the door way. Green saw what the men were about to attempt and laid on the ground Co watch their movements. They came ID Co the car. examined it with lanterns ia hand. and then took away the potatoes. Plummer carried the barrel of potatoes on his back while Church followed with lanterns. When the men got started Green arose from his position on the ground and called to the men to stop, threatening 10 shoot unless they did so. They stopped and then Green asked them where they were going with the potatoes and why they had them. Hummer re- piled that they were to take the potaotes to the shanty of the brakemen in the  yard and. according to Green, he said that he supposed they were going to divide them up.'
 The defense was that the barrels con taininE the potatoes were projecting about one-third of it's length from the car and that it was a menace to any railroadel who was working on the outside of z moving train that passed it. Both Churcl and Hummer declared that they were ordered 10 take the potatoes out of tho car by Monahan and that the purpose was 10 get 1t where it would not cause al accident. They claimed that they coulC not go into the car. so Plummer climbed ID on it and assisted in getting the barre out by Church. Hummer had but littb more than toe room 10 stand but the tw, men managed Co get the barrel out
 Monahan denied that he ran betweel cars. as the cailroad detective said he did He said his purpose was 10 take N1e pota toes to the shanty and then notify tn yardmaster so that they might be takel care of

can in thought rise and follow the char iots of God for thought has not merely the freedom of a city but of a universe. He leads them to living fonts
 And then Revelation allows us to fore cast the future; to unravel the yet un- known folds of the coming life. We do not know all but we know Him who car ries the key to an infinite realm and we shall follow the guiding light which He holds in His hand. Then the philoso- phers tell us that large and suggestive truth that the mind is the instrument on which a vast world of truth and reality perpetually plays. Mendelssohns organ and Mozart's piano are the instruments on which the great masters press and express the great harmonies that ring through their master minds. Socrates thought he was only the instrument of the Diamon or guarding spirit. Men of genius have said they only wrote what was forced inte their minds and through them. What if great thinker is in such touch with us that he presses his own l thought through us. Truly we are fear fully and wonderfully made.
 There are for thought control or | thought inspiration some simple rules. 1. The law of exclusion unto which a | thousand subjects of thought should be

 The occupied mind worthily engaged is
