PETITION COMPLETED FOE
 VOTE nA crrv ruARTER

Verihcation of the list of signers to the petition for a vote on revision of the city charter has been done by the two registrars. Tyler D. Guy and Cornelius J. pownes at the request of Mayor H. M. Lerou.
 They found few duplicates and some names of persons who lived outside the city limits. and some who were not voters Still there were plenty to spare to make up the required 10 per cent of the voting Hst of 764. Something over 800 names are on the petition. Z It was noticed that many of the women still write the name or initials of their husbands name. instead of their own. and 1t makes extra work finding out just who they are. In matters of this kind women should write the name they gave when made a voter.
 After eliminating the names of voters who live outside the city limits tho reg istrars find a total of 7,642 eligible to vote at city election. It was apparent among the signers of the petition that there are many of the sound business people who are familiar with city ahrhirs think 1t is an order for a revision of the city charter.
 Having. secured the requisite number of petitions, tire matter will now be o; of the questions to be voted on at the city election in June.

FORMER BREWERY INVESTOR
 TELLS STORY OF CONVERSE

ZAP J. Saunders. former brewery stockholder and wholesale merchant of Scranton, Pa. and a convert under the preaching of Billy Sunday, was the speaker Sunday afternoon at the Y. M. c. A. meeting. He told the wonderful story of his life of sin for 20 or more years, and of his opposition to Billy Sum- days coming to Scranton, and of his re- fusal of several invitations to attend the meetings. Finally, after a terrible battle against the wooing of the spirit of God, he attended the Sunday meetings and sur- rendered his life to Christ and since that eventful day seven years ago he has in humble way been telling for the glory of God the story of the saving power of Jesus Christ.
 For about an hour and quarter Mir. Saunders held the closest possible atten- ton of his hearers and the impression made was very deep and will doubtless be lasting.

FORTY HOURS DEVOTION OPENS
 AT ST, PArRICK's CHURCH SUNDAY

The forty hours devotion. conlmemorat- ing the period during which the body of the Saviour remained in, the tomb. began in St. Patricks church Sunday, following a solemn high mass of which Rev. Philip J. Mooney was celebrant, Rev. Myles F. Calvin deacon and Rev. Daniel F. Sulli
 van sub-deacon. The altars were adorn- ed with lilies and other spring blooms. while blossoming plants and decorative baskets of flowers were set at points within the sanctuary. Organist Frank L. Farrell had arranged special pro- grain of music, affording solo opportuni- tiesl for Mrs. Farrell, Mrs. Edward Ky an, Miss Bellefeur and John F, DoyleS
 During the procession, members of the junior choir, in charge of Miss Helen Dougherty and stationed in the gallery at the gospel side of the auditory, sang alternate stanzas of Tantum Ergo with the senior choir, the effect being very pleasing In this procession, the little girls, white-frocked and with white hair- ribbons, each child bearing a blossoming lily stalk, the youngest girls strewing the path of the Sacred HoGs with flowers gave evidence of the splendid training and intelligent and reverential department due to the instruction of their teachers. the. Sistes of Mercy of the parish con. vent.
 The canopy over the Host was borne by the ushers, John P. Corcoran, Thaddeus Leahy, Alexander Kllroy and John R. Tarrant.- The altar boys, each bearing 6 lighted taper, followed she cross-bearer.
 During the mass, Rev. Father Calvin read the tpistle for the Sunday, which was Low Sunday, I. John V. 10, and the gospel, John xv. ,19-31, the latter narrat- ing the appearance of the Risen Lord to His disciples and the convincing proof given the doubting Thomas. Father Gal win preached on the Christian religion as religion of love, in contrast to the re- ligion of the period before the coming of tho Redeemer, which was, in the main. a religion of fear. Citing many instances of the Saviour's love for man. from His birth. during His earthly life up to the Crucif1xion, the preacher considered tha. climax of love. when, on the first Holy Thursday, Jesus gave His own Body and i Blood in the Sacrament of tho Euchar. | ist, that through this divine food, He might impart His own strength to men | to resist temptation The lesson of the sermon was the wisdom of frequent com. munion, since. as every Catholic believes
 the Holy Eucharist contains. as Christ
 himself declared, His body and blood, Hi:
 soul and His divinity. The discourse wa:
 in accord with the meaning sentence from
