 Father Baxter. Dominican Of Ne" Haven. speaking last night at st. Josepk's church before q congresa- ton that overflowed The main audi forum into the vestibules, delivered | htast against uatrimony as a cloak for iadeceEcies and the non-ful+li-- Ynant Of rhe only purpose Of winch C;ed ins..tutea tae sacrament e lratrimory.
 Father BaAte-s talk 1T general v.s on h. general 5-4g.Ee2-. ot all iu-0 2 oy Christ al the end Of th'' world.
 "Even,ua.ly he sad, "thA e.r, Will bacoase u1Nea-abl-, unha oltah.r, scientists tell 4s that the suns heat will become so intense there wilt b. TO human lie possible here, And +har when al human being have died vii cone tHe general jud-- ,Eert of all. when your souls will be opened to the world in all the hfd-ousnAss ot thelr crimes, when --ech Of you w.ll he seen III the l!gff of the life he has lived.
 Judgment Certain
 As surely as God IS Just there ~!ll ne such Judgment. when those who have been good but have oniy suffered for II 1T this life and those who have been wicked but have rrosp4red for ir, will he shown 10 all others as they really were. Yet, despite t1e su-eL=ss of q .ucgnlen; and a punishment for tne rad and reward for the gooi, | .s not tf!7 fashion today outside of the Eatho- lie church to speak Of those sub fects. for they might disturb tNr ,onsragat.on with fear Of Hell, or might hurt the conscience Of hear CTS. But f can disturb you, 0'll not be afraid. will be very glad.
 Here today. tlen vii pay any sum oe money 10 saFe from the glare oT publtcity their evil ways, their sins and thatr mistakes, lest the world may know about them. Ho" much worse for them will b. that final day Of judgment vixen the rot- +arness and bIackness Of their hear;a will be thrown open 10 the world
 Cloak for Indecencies
 And what will you do when, n tla general judgment Of souls Christ calls you to stand up' you man or woman who ind n your r.atrimory on.y q cloak for iAQecen- cies. VOL who are not fulfilling the only purpose, the only Eod-glFeh reasons for the lntimacles allowed husband and wife, you women who like the Twentieth Century Eierods' have slaughtered the innocents' you whose hands are .iguratlVely oTlP- ciny with the blood Of your own unborn children
 Continuing. he said. "Once, during .t,z, rta. I vas given 8 picture or what the greatness and a"tuIns:ss the last judgment may be- lI .ras during the World War, the last months of that war, dur ing the battle of the Argonhe l-c. ,t. The German line was Just .a niles long there, Q short distance l.y+ ii had been undisturbed from th- first days Of the conflict ana made q Hinlenburg wall of mighty over with stne! and concrete dug y,,t= ag feet deep.
 To take that line vas gwen as the task Of the Americans with the ala ot some French. The Amerlcahs were placed 2-,69o men 10 each nl'is for the onslaught. in brigade behina brigade. French guns, 2,7vp ot them which threw shells it took tour men 10 lift and one Of which would make this church a pile Of shattered brlcK' were piled hub 10 huh.
 Then were they let loose with z, mighty roar, 10 shatter that pow .-rul line, and their thunder was so great that person could not hear rerson talk until everything III the ,.a.h os their mighty barrage had been shattered and mangled. over .bs fields then vas poured polsofl a 10 take .he last remnant of llte' to leave not even 2 rat living where t had penetrated.
 This awful sce,a this biting ot 5oo.oo9 men against 100000 men ttis death and destruction brought then to my mind q thought Of the general Judgment ot men "hen not thousands but millions who nave lived in this earth will he before God 70 test his wrath or His good Isess.
 If this is the judgment of one nation against another, what will be Gods judgment against the world Yet, man stands up and boasts IT tits face Of Christ I will not serve.
