To determine the true answer the

back arid forth in preparation for the
expected attafck.
Most of the plans for the maneuv-

problems of the Navy being to sur-
prise the defenders of the American
shore. After raking the coast fortifies

A new element may be entered into
the maneuvers by the use of the giant
airship, Los Angeles. The lighter-
thao-aircraft tender Patoka has been
ordered to Narregansett Bay, which
would make possible mooring of the
ship at sea. ,

“Is it not enough to confess my
sins to God alone ’’ asked Rev. Basil
Doyle last night at St. Michael's
church. “No doubt," be continued.
• Jesus Christ might bave so arrang-
ed things that it would be necessary
only to* go on our knees, in tbe pri-
vacy of our own chambers, and con-
fess our sins to God with hearfek
Remit; sorrow and purpose of amendment.
But we are not concerned with what
dfrist might have 8one, or what we ^
should like Him to have done, but
with what He actually did.-
“To say that it is enough to con-
fess our sins to God alone." said St.
Augustine as early as tre fifty cen-
tury. is to make void the power of
the keys given by Christ to His
church, and to contradict the plain
words ithe Gospel; W^iose sins
you shall forgive they are forgiven
them, aad whose sins you shall retain
they are retained.” (John 20: S3). We
may not Hke the system of epafatt-
ing our sins to God's appointed
agents in order la offtaiu forgive-
ness. although a little honest invest-
igation as to its real merits and true
workings might display many popu-
lar illusions on the subject.
Bui the question is not whether
wc like it or not. The one and on-
ly question that ought to concern
every earnest Christian seeking
light on this matter is this: Was
it established at the direction of
Jesus Christ? In answer the text
from St. John quoted above is plain.
Accordingly, the vast' majority of
Christians throughout the world to-
day believe that confessten to a du-
ly anthc*-’*'''? priedt, with sincere
st>rro .; <! resolve to siri no mere,
is the o;duiary means established by
Christ Himself for their forgiveness.
Cardinal Newman, a convert tg the
Catholic ehnirb. he paid a beautiful
tribute to the confrerional: ‘How
many are the souls in distress, anxi-
ety. or loneliness, whose on® need
is to find a being to whom they can
pour out their feelings unheard by
the world? Tell them out they mnst;
theyc an not tell them out to tboee
i whom they see every hour.
They want to tell them and not to
tell them; and they want to tell them
and yet be as if they be not told.
They wish to tell them to one who
is strpng enough to hear them, yef
not too strong to despise them. They
wish to tell- them to one who can at
once advise and sympntrlae with
them. They wish to relieve them-
selves of a lead to gain solace./to re-
ceive the assurance that there is ode
who thinks of them and one to whom
in thought they can recur, to, whom
they can betake themselves, if nec-
