O'Clock they formed in line on Third
street and headed by the Santa Rosa
brass band marched to st. Roses Church.
The main body of the church had been
reserved for the visiting delegates and
mem bers OF the order. The decorations
were quite ella aborate, consisting chiefly of
ferns and flowers, which were arranged so
as to produce beautiful effect
Shortly after the arrival of the delegates
the celebration of solemn high mass be-
gan. Rev. ]. M. Cassin was the celebrant
with Father P. Quill as deason and Father
Rogers OF Tomales as subdeacon of the
mass. Father c. E. O'Neil of Novato was
master of ceremonies. Archbishop Rior-
dan was present, attended by Father
Meiler of Healdsburg and Father O. Con-
nor of Ukiah.
At the conclusion of the mass Father
Cassin delivered an impressive address 10
the young men, speaking words of wis.,
dom with the eloquence of trained
orator. The speaker held the closest at
tentlon OF his hearers throughout mis- ad-

them a cordial welcome. He then took
up the motto of the order, PRO Dec, Pro
Patria, and discussed its meaning with
could be found, none nobler could be de-
Sired he said. He impressed upon his
hearers the Importance of leading Chris
tian, tenn operate, earnest and active lives,
since the future and the greatness of the
church and state rested with the young
men. IF we are good, moral, temperate
young men, we are good citizens; If we
are good citizens, We are pleasing in the
sight Of God and our fellow men. If we
do these things no inglorious future will
develop from the present."
What could be nobler, what dearer to
the heart of God than the young man Civ
Ing his life to good and noble deeds"
The young man was likened to the noun
tain stream, his growth in intellect and
power to the river and his maturity to the
grand old ocean. Half the Joy of
heaven lies in the thought that when we
have completed our earthly career our
youth will there be renewed"
The speaker spoke of the young men as
The life of the church, Its hope, it's
perpetuation, and p.eaded with those then
present to prepare for the burdens and
responsibilities which the future has in
store for them. Let me live pro Deo."
Taking up the latter part of the motto,
PRO patria, the speaker DIV lit upon the
duties of young men to their country.
After duty to God, duty to country, with
the aim TO preserve the glorious institu-
ton of State and Nation. Be loyal, be
true be patriotic. These should be the
watchwords of every young man.
