tiOn, but in humility, not claiming, asthe Pharisee, to he more perfect in Christian living than our ucjghbore, but realizing we are hut men, subject to the same trials, zun'riugs and temptations of all the human race. The twenty ami. vcrsary does not mean there were no Catholics in this part of country until lS7l There were few Catholics here among the earliest settlers. The Cath0- lie religion came to this country with it's discovery by Columbus and was estab- lished by many missionaries and explOr- CTS who followed him, and in some parts of the country we had many fOurishing institutions before the war of the RevO- lution, and many signers of the declara- ton of independence were Catholics. The prominent signer, and the wealthiest man in the colonies in those days, was Charles Cavrol of CarrOltOn, and the largest individual contributors to the support of Washngton's army were the Catholics of Philadelphia, and after the war wa closed Washington delivered a special mcssago of thanks to the Catholics of the country. The Catholics have al- ways been patriotic and loyal to the in situations If Ibe country and in the last war If fhe rebellion thousands and thou sands gave their lives for the preserva- rion of tue uuinn, and the abolition Of slavery and th4 uame and fame of tue great Catho}ic generals, Shields, Mpaghcr, Coirnrau. Sheridan and SheT- mau, will go down the ages. 1 merely mention these historical facts in refuta- tion of some If the ideas put forth by thc enrmie- of our church.
 My dear friends, we celebrated to day our Jublcc, not forgetting our brethren of the clergy and laity, who have gone on before us to the eternal home, and we hope they may rest iu the peace of the church triumphant, and in the commun-
 inn of saints we ak them to join us in ,.ur payer and wishes for all here pres rat and the wholr human race. My dear frjnds, We wish you to j0in in the spirit If the occasion, giving courage to the old mrn and women nearing their last homc, gjVitg joy aud hope to the young to take up and continue the work of the church.
 In conclusion WI think we should ac- Ilnowlrdgc rhc work of the noble women of the church in many ways in the early days of the clIu- ch. St Paul in writing to his di,ciples told them to be good 10 the women, who labUred with them iD the gospel There are several older ladies here present who entertained the r2rIy missionaries ill tlis part Gf the rcuutry. ahd leaked forward to their coming with ty,and no sacrifice or labor too great Cn make it pleasant for the priest i'll their homes, remembering only l!e words of lhri.t, 'IIe that receivech you. rrccivcth me" We can say with S1.
