The Rev. Father Birmingham. assistant
pastor of ST. Mary's r. C. Church, deliv-
cred lecture on "Our Country and Our
Flag" at the Opera House yesterday after
noon for the benefit of the Sheridan Post,
G.. A. II. Decoration Day fund. The audi
ence was small when compared with the
usual Sunday afternoon audiences at the
Opera House. 1t was composed mostly Of
ex-soldiers, their wives and their immedi-
ate friends.
The exercises were opened by the sing
ing Of the Star spangled Banner" by a
male choir under the direction of Professor
]. T. Clymer.
Ex-senator John P. Donahoe presided
and introduced tho speaker. In opening
his address the lecturer paid an eloquent
tribute TO the soldier heroes of history
Recounting their deeds he gave them high
places In the temple of fame but reserved
his highest plaudits for the soldier OF the
American revolution, who under the direc-
tion of Infinite wisdom, coming from all
nations and speaking all tongues, laid deep
and strong the foundations OF the republic
upon principles OF justice and truth.
Speaking of the war of the rebellion the
lecturer described it as a terrible family
strife made necessary by the bighting
touch of human slavery. OF the soldiers
of the rebellion he spoke in highest terms,
giving equal honors to the blue and the
gray for deeds of martial heroism. 1t was
fight in which Greek met Greek, but in
which the glory and prestige OF right pur-
poses and great achievements lay with the
flag of the Union-the national flag, which.
next to the cross OF Christ, is the holiest of
all human symbols. OF the ex-soldiers still
living he declared their inalenable right
TO sympathy. aid and, II need be, support
from the government which they had de-
Tended and saved. Referring to other pa
triotic nations he said that in ancient
Greece the very horses and beasts of bur-
den who aided In maintenance of Grecian
liberties were pensioned and cared for as
II the people were under obligations to care
for every creature whose lives had been
risked and who had given heroic service to
the nation. How much more. cried the
speaker, should America. the greatest, the
most liberal and enlightened nation of
all the ages, care for her heroic citizen
soldiers. A man cannot sell his life to the
nation, but must give 1t voluntarily.
contract to pay for such service could not
entirely meet the nations debit must be
supplemented by pensions liberal enough to
keep every veteran from want.
Speaking of the relation OF the Roman
Catholic Church to the republic the speak
er declared the Church the first, best and
most devoted champion of liberty. The
pious mothers of Catholics taught them
first to lisp and revere the name OF God,
and next to love liberty, and as Americans
no potentate or power could dissolve their
obligations to the nation. II any Catholic
potentate or power attempts to destroy the
republic American Catholics will be among
the first to resist 1t, resist 1t to the death,
and dying in such holy cause will die in
the bosom Of the Church. -...

They are aim ost ready to be cnrted off as
