He said in part: "It is pitiful to hear the lamentations of society over the evils of the day. over the lax morals of the young, over the new ideas which seem to exclude even the most elementary notions of reserve and respectability which were sacred to our fathers and mothers. "That very society which is weeping over the ruins of Chri: tian civilization prepared for the evil day when It banished God from its life. Men cannot be men without God.

Reason alone is not enough to keep us on the high plane on w'hich we were placed by the Creator. We were created in the supernatural order of divine, grace and we die the death when we try to live without that grace. "God did not create man and cast him out into the universe a mere thing. He sent him forth from His omnipotent hand endowed with reason and free will and subject to a law which is written in his heart, which is calling to him by day and by night in the still small voice of conscience, a voice which, thanks to God's mercy, even the infidel who dares to say 'There is no cannot silence, a law which was given amid the thunders of Sinai, written on two tables of stone, repeated over and over by patriarch and prophet, and in the fulness of time proclaimed to all th-e world by the son of God, Jesus Christ, our Savior. This is the law of God eternal and unchangeable, as is God himself.

"The forgetting and setting aside of this law is the cause of all the moral laxity of the age. Man forgets that there is a God. Then he forgets that he is a man." on are cordially invited to attend the a iirotruf t' conference in the council eluimber yr-Mtirday afternoon in 1') improvement of ptr cur ervice.

One Debt Replaces Other, Myaor Says The answer of the city of Pittsburgh and Mayor Joseph G. Armstrong and Controller E. S.

Morrow to the bill of complaint in the equity suit of Charles A. Schuldice, a taxpayer, to restrain the city from issuing bonds aggregating was filed yesterday by counsel for he city. The answer denies the issue of the jonds will increase the indebtedness beyond the 2 per cent limit fixed by constitution and asks that the suit ae dismissed. The answer states that $2,760,000 of the amount to be raised will be used to fund certain indebtedness of the city, as shown in the controller's report, and that as the money will be used to pay legal debts and obligations the present debt will be correspondingly lowered. In other words, one debt will replace another, the total remaining unchanged.

The balance of the bonds will not increase the city's total indebtedness beyond the 2 per cent maximum.
