AN INTERESTING OCCASION
Closing Exercises of Ebenezer School l..
Beat 5.

Last Friday night was a red let.
ter occasion to the patrons and
friends of the Ebenezer school in
Beat S. The school, of which
Prot. B F Beauchamp is teacher,
wound up at that time with a pro-
gram of exercises which, from all
accounts. was the best ever wit
messed in that community. The
Professor had spared neither time
nor expense to make the affair a
success. and such it was, 1t may
be said Just here that the Ebenezer
school is..one Of the best in the
county and we believe it is the on
" school outside Of TIE towns to
maintain high school course, and
that for eight months in the year.
The school house was tastefully
decorated with evergreens and
flowers. some excellent musicians
had been secured, and the house
was packed with people to enjoy
the exercises, which consisted OF
recitations, declarations, vocal
and Instrumental music, and other
features of interest, al! rendered
with surprising ability.
Something out Of the ordinary
was the excellent rendition of two
dramas-"United at Last and
"From Punkin Ridge" the latter
being bowling comedy.
Dialogues and addresses also
contributed to the interest of the
occasion, all aiding in making the
event one long to be remembered
in that community.

Our Strength,

Statistics establish beyond question
the fact that there are five millions OF
Irish Catholics and their descendants in
the United States, says the Philadelphia
Catholic Times.
Mere numerical strength, however, is
& weak factor China has uncounted mil
lions OF population, but what do they
amount to? =
Religion counts, intelligence counts,
mutual help counts.
There was q time when the irish were
confined to large cities. Now they are
found owners ard tillers of the soil.
Our losses have been exaggerated.
John Francis Mcguire found that in the
United States the Irish, as a nation, had
adhered to the Catholic faith under the
most disadvantageous conditions.
Still we have los. mainly through
mixed marriages. There is decided
danger where the non-Catholic husband
on wits persists in remaining outside the
Church. In many instances the fault
must be laid at the door of the Catholic
party, especially where tbs. other is Of
no particular sect or denomination. 1t is
+
and the children grow up without any
positive religious instruction.
We seem to lack the national virtue of
cordial. and brotherly Intercourse and Of
mutual help. The Irish are singularly
distrustfui OF one another. This has re-
suited from the divisions which the Eng
fish government fostered, and from GER
tain istiited views Of local superiority,
Whish sThe splendid vision of America
soonld sdissipate. Away with all the
feudss and factions of the past! The
Catholic faith is the greatest bond that
unites lis all in this land In training
your children look first to their faith and
h their m orality. Teach them the lesson
of the 18th Of April, 1929, when Daniel
'Cunnell secured religious liberties for
tire British Empire by the emancipation
I bill Within fifty years Ireland led the
United Kingdom in education and in re-
ligious activity.
There fsFan inherant strength and no.
bility in h the Irish character that, Ii
properly directed, will lead them to SOW;
BeYeign power. Let them not waste their
strength in petty wrangling or IN OBJ
STRUGGLING one the other. There is only
s.one rule, one law for them to follow, in
sthe future as in the past Be Catholic
and you will be great. Be Catolic and
III be happy.

1.-THE Last Time. -

The last time Did you ever stop to
think of it? 1t is coming, perhaps it
has already come, and you did not know
it. You have gotten UP for the last time
from the chair where you have SO long
sat: ycu have closed the desk and slip
ped the key into the pocket whence
your hand shall never take again. You
have read the last items Of news from
the familiar paper, and closed the covers
of the last book you shall ever read on
earth. You have looked for the last
time into the eyes that have never
failed to answer love for love; and you
have flashed the last message into the
eyes of the enemy who has Wronged you:
you have looked your last Oh sunset sky
and mornings roseate flush OF dawn.
For you the last cable car has swung
around the corner and stopped to take
you to your home for the last time.
Youfa turned out the lights and lain
down in your bed for the last time, and
the stars that light the midnight sky
have flashed you their last signal. You
your, last letter, eaten your last meal,
slept your last sleep. The story is told,
the play is ended, the lights are burning
low; the music is hushed. Yet most po-
tent of all is the insignificance Of the
thought is the fact that your last OPP
.portunity for doing a deed OF helpful
kindness has perhaps come. For the
.last.time on earth the chance confronts
YOU to be gentle with some one who has
erred, to put out a strong hand to some
one who is weak, to say a word in be-
half of some one who is defenseless.
Do not let loves opportunity go by un-
challenged, remembering always that it
may be the last you will ever know
