TOTAL ABSTINE NCE.
The Pledge Exacted of Catholic
COnfirmants.

AT the Sacred Heart Church yesterday
Archbishop Riordan administered the sac
rament OF confirmation TO 12S boys and girls,
Rev, Father Lagan, assistant pastor, having
devoted the two months previous to their
preparation for the ceremony. Besides
the confirmation, each of the fifty-two boys,
by signing the following pledge, became a
member Of the Catholic Youths Total Abb
stinenCe Union:
On this, the day Of my confirmation, in
gratitude to thee, o God, for the many
graces thou hast bestowed upon me, and, as
PREPARATION for the many offenseS COM
mitted against thee by the Incorporate,
|, -, OF my own free will. do hereby
associate myself with tile members of the
Catholic Outh'S Total Abstinence Union,
and do solemny promise to abstain from
the use of all Intoxicating drink until have
attained the age of 81 years Deign to
accept, o Lord. this offering have made to
thee. BeSt0w upon me, | beSeeeh thee. the
grace OF perseverance, and grant that.
serving thee ana not my appetlteS, may
live soberly and piOusly In this world. and,
finally. obtain from thee the happiness of
life eternal. Amen"
The Archbishop after conducting the GER
emonies of confirmation, delivered the SER
mon, which was followed by the benediction
Of the most blessed sacrament. He then
spoke in familiar terms to the youths.
warning them Of the dangers of intemper-
ance and pointing out the evils its presence
among us has begotten.
He desired to attack it at its root, believ-
ing that if the boy is shielded from its in
f1uence the man will need no antid0te
against the malady. But if youth becomes
tainted the blight Of manhood would surely
follow.
The speaker, before his elevation to the
position lie now occupies, had ample oppor-
tunities of observing in the practical walks
of life the miseries inflicted upon the people
by this national falling and, although there
was not much of it In that locality. knowl-
edge Of the calamities that followed in its
train would help TO strengthen all against
the possibility of ever yielding to its ap-
proaches. The fruits of temperance were
domestic comfort, respect of men, peace and
plenty, health and virtue, long life, favor
OF God and eternal happiness. Conversely,
those OF intemperance were ruin of fami-
lies, contempt of men, troubles and poverty,
sickness and vice, an early death, anger of
God and eternal misery. "a young man,
according to his way, even when he is old
he will pot depart from it,"
This is the first occasion in which the
pledge of temperance has been made an ia
cident to the sacrament of confirmation in
this city, although the custom is now in
vogue throughout the rest of the Catholic
world.
