PATRIOTIC MESSAGE IN
 BAPTIST PASTORS SERMON

Rev. David A., Pitt. D. D.. pastor of the Central Baptist church. in his ser- mon Sunday evening, on America. the Blessed and the Blessing. urged a great CT conception of the divine will of God as it cay be seen in the history of to- day. The speaker said that God called upon Abraham to lead his people to the land of milR and honey. Palestine, and did not he likewise call upon John Rob- inson to lead that little band of pill grims to America? Is not there a re- markab,e similarity in the two? Pales- tine was the land of milk and honey but America is the granery of the world believe we should sec the hand of God in the founding of America and it's his tory as well as in the old world We should see God in everything and not only, in the Bible.
 A little boy was once asked who was the greater man, Moses or Lincoln, and he replied. "Lincoln, because he did things alone and was not helped by God as Moses was" That Is as far as religion goes with some people. After the Bible is closed they cannot see the works oi God We need a new point of view in tn, schools, the home and even in th' church.
 God has blessed the world in givin. Christ to us and we are wonderfully blessed in America. America as ha. antly been said is the land of the sec. | ond chance.

FOUR VACATION PRINCIPLES
 ENUMERATED BY FRIES

The summer schedule of services began in St. Patrck's church Sunday. three low masses to be said at the regular hours during July and August, and the choir having a vacation for two months. After noon vespers and the children's Sunday school will be omitted for the same period.
 The low mass at 1o.5o was read Sun day by Rev. Philip J. Mooney. Rev Myles P. Calvin read the gospel for the Jay, which was the seventh Sunday after Pentecost. Matt. vii. 15-21. beginning Jesus said 10 His disciples. Beware of false prophets. who come 10 you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly are ravening wolves" Father Calvin spoke on the obligations of the vacation season, recalling the scriptural fact that even the Saviour recognized the need of physical rest. since it is written that at one time when His disciples had been labof1nE in their efforts to acquaint the people Of the coming of the Messiah and of His teach ings. Christ took them apart 10 a desert place, for rest, thus establishing the first | Christian vacatian.
 He admonished his congregation that during the summer period. as through out tn eremainder of the year. each mem Der was to be guided by four principles. i.s e., members of the church are 10 re- member that they are at all times to be Christians and Catholics; that they are under obligation to assist at holy mass every Sunday in the year; that the soul as well as the body needs nourishmeni during vacation, hence there should be no carelessness in the matter of receiv- ing the sacraments regularly. and fourth the Ten Commandments are just as bind.
 ing during vacation as at any other time There are few places along the sound
 where there is not to be foHnd a Catholic chapel, and vacationists should select
 locations near enough to enable them tS
