WHAT SHALL WE DO TO GET
 SAVED?

Our earthly conditions are by no means ideal. Our ailments are many and so are the natural Instructions, not to speak of the artificial ones, set up by man, that we encounter on our path, and which by right become our most fascinating interest in life to obliterate. Some succumb in their struggles, while very, few, mostly un- worthy, succeed in finding that covet- ed "easy street." where they can satis- fy their different aims and ambitions. The vast majority lead lives of more or less misery, although many do not even realize that fact. After death a very important decision we are taught, awaits us, no matter what our lives were on earth, whether we should be damned or our troubles be changed in- to eternal bliss. The spiritual side of the question thus depends on circum- stances, especially on grace and on it's logical opposite or disgrace, which latter be the one that really matters. Each sin, such as sins may be, is enough to cause eternal perdition, the sinners however being given the chance to redeem themselves simply by believing the impossible. To some this is actually easy. They go to heav- en, all principles of justice notwith-

standing. To the Investigating mind nonsense remains nonsense. It's pos sessor goes to hell, because he cannot be intimidated into accepting brlbe that involves a complete violation ot his convictions or negatlon ot his better self. This was the position of the early martrys, and of those un- fortunates on whom the war frenzy settled it's rage. Such as they of sound and superior minds did not have to die first to go to hell. Their salvation must consist in more real and hu- man enlightenment of their fellow men. Just think of the enormousness of fatality. A positive adherence IS likewise to contemplate the vast num- Der of human beings who for some reason or other try to believe in the impossible. Some profess such be- lief outwardly, while inwardly they are unprincipled rascals. Those we call hypocrits, monstrous product of so- cial perversities. To consider the ln- fluence for the bad of these manifold forces on the human race as whole IS also horrible.
 Those who feel the necessity to be- lieve in this maxim: Extra eccleslam nulla Salus," which means that out side the Catholic church there is no salvation, should for starter all be- come subjects of the only truly or thodox ecclesiarch and his really won derful organization for the saving of human souls. For those who are in it's fold it would be sheer folly to leave. Its alvation-busines IS just now booming. Cardinal Mandolin is on his return from Rome with two checks each s5OO,OOO, to be invested in the seminary at Area, Illinois, where men are trained for the Catholic priest hood. Just think of how many Amerl- can children's minds poisoneda how many more crimped souls that means for these United States. Other relig- ions are bad enough on the subject ot salvation but not so utterly contempt ible as Catholicism. Belief in the inn possible as a means of salvation IS however essential with all denomina- tions of the Christian faith and more so with many other religions.
 Most intimately connected with sal vation is the prayer. o! Misery beyond all other miseries! In it, this old fal- lacy, the whole world is captivated. Otherwise most excellent people are it's victims. Have we not prayed long enough to this or that negative quantity and wasted our breath in agony? Who is he that never in thousands upon thousands of years would have the kindness to listen to or answer our desperate solicitations when in distress of body and soul ? The Almighty? No, that could not be. The cruelty personified? Yes, and he is no god. He is that miserable devil that lately has become so per- fectly out of date with sensible folk. Rely on the prayer for your salavtion or believe in those pious liars who

PLAINVILLE TEACHERS
 WANT EXTRA PAY DAY
Continued from First Page)

cording to the number of weeks they
 have taught that month. Payday
 usually comes as close to the first of
 the month as is possible for the committee to make it.
 Mir. Mills stated that in September of the present school year. three 1 weeks of teaching constituted the amount of work done by the teach CTS for that month. When pay day came. the school committee decided that. a full months pay would be giv- en to the teachers with one week ap- plying 10 the next month. This has been followed out to the present time leaving the school committee one week ahead in pay and the teachers one week behind in work produced.
 Then Christmas approached. rm- mediately, the teachers began 10 spec uiate whether they would receive their pay before the holidays or whether the pay would be handed out at the regular time,- which was January list. The school committee heard the whis- perings and decided to make things pleasant for the teachers by advance ing pay day a few weeks and the teachers received their pay. This was the regular January pay.
 Now the teachers seem 10 have forgotten that they are practically away ahead of the game and arc passing rumors about the town that the school committee is holding back their pay or havo forgotten them. This, however, according to Mir. Mills, is not true and next pay day cannot come until next month. Members of inc committee thrashcd tho matter out and came 10 the conclusion that they were powerless to pay any money until the funds come through tho regular channels.
 He also said that tho committee in Piainviie has always tried to treat the teachers in the schools the best they knew how and if there is any dissatisfaction cropping up at the present time, the blame cannot be laid at the door of the committee.
