POST’S ATTITUDE RE MINISTER OF MILITIA IS COMMENDED BY CORRESPIJNDENT ports to the contrary. It is quite probable that the road will be fin‘sh- ed before the end-o! theg'ear. The work in connection with the large .cut at Byers’ Hill near Bethany will be finished in about five days! This is the largest cut on the route and one that called for the use of a. 75 ton steam shovel.

Yours truly, i I On Sunday three. masses were celeâ€" ibrated, 8, 9, and 10.30 o’clock. Rev. Fr. Jones preached at tne last mass Ibeforea large congregation. In the afternoon he addressed the members of the Young Ladies Sodality in the Convent Chapel. We should be humble in our suppli- cations to God and should not des- pair if our prayers were not answered at once. No prayer was ever said in vain, and if our requests were appar- ently unheeded, we should persevere. and pray continually because God would assuredly grant our request. As an illustration Rev. Father Jones relerred to the life of St. Monica mo- ther of St. .Augastine. In his early days the youth had made her often- times sore of heart by his wayward- ness, the result of the example shown by his sinful pagan father. The moth- er prayed unceasingly for the conver- sion of her husband and in after years she had the happy consolation of seeâ€" ing him embrace Christianity and the son afterwards became one of the brightest lights of the Church. At Vespers a large congregation Was present, when Rev. Father Jones preached a practical sermon on pray- er. He based his remarks on the words “Amen, amen I say unto you, if you ask the Father anything in my name he will give it to you." During the services Miss Mary Fluety and Miss EmIn-a Gough ren- dered an O Salutaris with much ex- pression. The attitude of the Pharisee and publican who went into the temple, to pray was referred to by the speak- er. The former raised his hands to heaven and thanked God he was not like the rest of men, adulterers etc., while the latter simply struck his breast and exclaimed “Oh Lord have mercy on me a sinner." The publican went on his wayfijustified because "he that exalteth himself shall ‘be hum- bled and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.” 1n cxosmg, we speaxer urged upon his hearers the necessity of being more devout and Iaithtul in their prayers, because nothing was asked from God but what was granted. mons were scholarly and convincing ones. Rev. Father Jones urged upon the parents the practice of devotion to God in the presence of their boys and girls. Family prayers, ascending to the Throne oiGod brought down in- numerable blessings on a household. Many a ‘ wayward son was saved from a life of degradation by the fervent prayers cf a father and a mother and many a wayward daughter deep down in sin retraced her steps and came The reverend gentleman pretach his remarks by defining prayer. A tequcst made by a child tcvafather. was a prayer. The words, “0 Lord have mer cy cr. Us" said with fervor and devo- tion was also a prayer. Often men remark, ”Oh, I cannot pray. There is no use in my trying. It is so hard to pray." Prayer was an elevation of the soul to God, an appeal made to Him to yssist and bless us, and it; was neither difficult or even a hardship for us to raise our hearts and mind to the Heavenly Father in prayer.
