DFAFTED PRIEST DECLINES i
SUBSTITUTE. g.,

A beautiful example of Christian pa
triotism has been given by Catholic
priest in Detroit. The pious aud be-
loved pastor of St. Patrick's Chapel, on
Adelaide street, Fatler James uerne-
sy, was drafted in the 9Th Ward. His
many friends at once gathered around
him and preparations Herc made to fur
nish HIM substitute. Father Hcnne-
sy said, "No, l cannot permit this.
My country has called upon me for per-
sonal service, and l will have no other
man 60 for me. l will take my own
place in the amy" We know moth
ing grander in the history Of the draft
than this patriotic conduct. The de-
termination of the conscientious and
patriotic priest is fixed. Members of
his congregation have in vain offcrc! to
90 into the field for him. But his fine
sense Of duty to his country aud to the
law will not permit him to serve his
country by substitution. 4 Detroit pa
per says Of Father Hennesv:
''To those who know Father Henne-
sy intin'ately-how faithfully and ten
derly he cares for the souls o. bis flock
what manly aud patriotic advice he
has given them as citizens-hls unos.
tentatious bencvoleuce to the poor and
sick. this great act Of self denial will
not be surprising. There is no man in
the city who has more persc cnal friends
than Father Hennesy, and while they
may in some respects deplorc his deter
mination, thinking he could be of more
service at home in his m;nistrations,
they will yet feel that the example of
his action will be vf wide public benefit.
