This’week closes the Easter duty sea son. Gentlemen unable to wait long for confession may apply at the rectory and their confession will be heard. At the service yesterday evening at 7:45 o’clock. Reverend Father Nolan preached an eloquent sermon to n large congregation on the subject of * f Pray er, ” from the text, Matthew viii, -5, “Lord, save us, we perish.’’ Ho said, in part: “Faith tells ua that the sole object of our existence upon earth is so to live that w* may bo happy with God for all eternity. “Left to ourselves, thin etrenity of bliss is absolutely impossible of attainment: for since the fall of Adan) man's condition on earth ia the most pitiful that can well be imagined. “Prayer is. if not the greatest, at least one of the greatest means of man's salva tion. and therefore it was our divine Sa vior'a first word and his last; his first teach ing and hit last; his first precept and his last injunction, because of its absolute neces sity. “Prayer is necessary al all times, accord ing to the words of our Savior; ‘Pray al ways;’ but there are certain moments when it is a question of life and death to pray or to neglect prayer. These are the moments of temptation, when corrupt nature rises up in deciance of God; moments when the temp tations of pride, anger, revenge, incontinency present themselves before our eyes; moments when the senses speak to the soul and say: ‘Now is the moment of pleasure, of enjoy ment; forget God.’ “Prayer is not only necessary for the man who is on the waves in sight of his Master, or who is treading th* dangerous path of Christian morality, walking and trampling upon his own passions, hut it is necessary and the last and only privilege for the one who is sunk beneath the wave. ‘Out of the depths have I cried to thee. O Lord: Lord, hear my voice.’ Here ia a cry recorded in scripture and it ia for our consolation. Over David s head hid closed the angry, deadly sea of impurity and injustice: upon David's ■•ul ahd fallen the warm drops of Uriah's blood unjustly shed; down deep into God's anger went he and there was nothing left to him but the last and only privilege of the sinner. “With holy Job he might have cried out in one brna'th: ‘O God. thr-re is nothing left fnr me but the lips that are above my teeth.’ and in the next exclaimed with the great St. Gregory: ‘Much ia left to me. for there is the power to use those lips in pray er.’ And so. out of the depths of his ain and shame and degradation arose the voice of David, and it reached the ear of God:* If thou, O Lord.' hr cried out, *obs«rveth iniquity, whi shall sustain me?’ And that same voice who thus spoke afterward com same voice in joyful accents th? answer of that prayer; “Blessed be God who did not remove my prayer nor his mercy from me.’’ “Let u« admire the admirable wisdom of God and his great mercy in establishing for man's aa’vation a means so easy and infa! lible as that of prayer. Let us ever bear in mind the promise of him whotF words ahaH never pasg away: ‘Amen. amen. 1 say 1o yon. Whatever yon ask th? Father in my name, He will give it to you.’ “ i'-— — - BUY ROAD GRADER Special Di.pitch. Boerne, Tex.. May 18.—f'ommissioners Phillip and Esser of precinct Nos.

I RATHER PAY FINE THAN RUIN HIS STOCK OF GOODS Cigar Salesman Leaves Horse and Buggy Standing on Hous ton Street During Shower. “It Ts- aivfaTf most quiet just before a storm,” was the manner in whißh the police accounted for the reign of peace and quiet that hovered over the city last night. But two arrests were made, outside of five arrests yesterday afternoon for traffic ordinance viola tions. The peace authorities are con fident that tonight will witness a mark ed change and they anticipate “some thing doing.” Jose Trevenio. reputed to have once been a famous matador and circus clown, was the sole diaturber of the peace. The police testified he began yelling in a West Bide saloon and when thrown out by the bartender was taker, into custody. The defendant was fined $5. The other arrest was that of a young white man on a charge of vag rancy. His case was continued until tomorrow. Because he did not want to get caught in the rain, C. A. Gengler, a cigar drummer, left his horse and bug gy standing on Houston street for long er than twenty minutes during the shower yesterday morning. He was placed under arrest for violating the traffic ordinance. “It was just a question of getting out in the rain and ruining my stock of goods, valned at about $4O. or leav ing the horse and buggy on the street for more than twenty minute*,” Geng ler told the court. “ I did the next best thing under the circumstances, and that was to keep out of the rain and take proper care of my goods. J do not plead ignorance of the law, but 1 either had to technically violate the law or drive in the rain.” Judge Buckley announced that he could see no reason why a fine should not be imposed in the ease.
