There was large crowd at Metropoli-

which called forth such an outpouring of
people was a reception given to Rev. A.
T. Doyle of New York by the Young
Mems Institute OF San Francisco. Father
Doyle has given much of his time and at
tention to the interests of the institute in
the East, and it was Father Doyle, with
the aid of ex-Judge ]. F. Sullivan. who
began the work of organization east of the
Rocky Mountains. The Young Mems In
stitute is distinctive California organ
ization. 1t had its birth in San Francisco.
and from this city 1t has branched out
until it has kindred chapters in all of the
prominent cities between San Francisco
and New York
After an overture on the organ F. j.
Kierce in few words bid the guest of the
evening welcome. The speaker said the
Young men were pleased to greet Father
Doyle because he was a native of this
city, born only short distance from Met

glad to welcome Father Doyle because ne
took an interest in young men, especially
with those who are connected with their
society.

c0rdtngiy left San Francisco and went to
New York. There in that great metropo-

Mr.. Sullivan closed his address by say
ing: 1T is noble thing for young Catholic
men to band themselves together. 1t has
been said that such Catholic societies are
dangerous TO our country and its institu-
tons, but l say that the Young Mems In

ing loyalty to the stars and stripes. Let
no power, whether temporal or eccleSiaStl-

God. The strongest supports of the Amer

Catholic church"

California has history, a history that
is full of romance. 1t is a hundred years
since the signing of the Declaration Of
Independence. and vet before that time
the Mission Dolores was doing a good
work on the coast. Missionaries were
pushing their way through the wilds OF
this land and carrying the gospel with
them"
