FATHER FISHERS TALK
A Patriotic Sermon from a Pomona
Catholic Priest

Catholic Priest
POMONA, May S.-The local civil service
board has received notice that an examin-
alton for nautical expert, United States
coast and geodetic survey, will be held in
this or any other city where applications
may be received and where a competent
board of examiners are located, on June

threaten to start an opposition fund for an

Some maliciously inclined person spread
the report that the Rev. Father Fisher
had stated from the pulpit in the present
crisis that 1t was the duty of Catholics to
uphold Spain. So indignant was the rever-
end father that he devoted the time usu-
ally allotted to the Sunday sermon to q
vigorous denunciation of the calumny, and
stated that next to God our duty was to
our country. Any man who would not lay
down his life for his country's honor ought
to be kicked out of 1t. He stated that no
truer or more loyal American lived than he
and that he was ready to go to the front
whenever duty called him. why" said he,
"even were the pope of Rome in position
to declare war against these United States
and invaded our shores, 1t would be the
duty of every true Catholic to repel the
invasion. That's Catholic teaching"
Father Fisher said he hoped that in
jutsice to himself the denial would
be as readily. circulated as was the cal.
umny.
The celebration in honor of the glorious

THE WOMAN MOVEMENT
A Paper Read Before Colegrove's
Social Democracy Club

COLEGROVE, May S.-Following are
extracts from paper on 1.-THE Progress
OF the Woman Movement" to be read to-
night before the Social Democracy club by
Lu Wheat:
"The doctrine of human progress is diff
cult to analyze because 1t is usually car
ried on by forces beyond our comprehen-
sion. We seek in vain for the chain which
binds us to our fate.
"All down the ages woman has staid In
the background. The church conspired,
custom conspired, education conspired, to
prevent her from taking her place as the
equal of men.
within the present century Mr.. Long,
fellow has written an immortal poem in
which he paints for US the model young
woman, according to the standard of his
time. Priscilla, the Mayflower of Ply

filled with the breath of the Lord, making
her garments of homespun and singing the
Tooth Psalm. Tried by adversely, her only re-
course was to prayer. Beset by poverty, she
bowed her neck under the yoke with never a
thought that the business Of the world was
as much for her as for any other The
doctrine that each makes his own fate had
never been limited to her. To rise up and
put her shoulder to the wheel was entirely
beyond her comprehension. Mr.. I4ongfel-
low says she was simple and sweet and
sang the Tooth Psalm. Yet In less than one
short century that type of woman has be-
come practically extinct. Even her own
children made such rents III the foundation
of her religious beliefs as no man can heal,
and her granddaughters have entered near
ly every field of labor and education that
men have. The woman movement has
swept into the bosom of the past nearly all
that is left Of the helpless class, who
prayed and sang psalms and left events
with heaven. 1t has dawned upon woman
that she is part of the great Industrial
army who must march to their bugle call
whether 1T leads over pleasant places or
thorny paths 1t has dawned upon her that
she must fight the battle of life side by
side with men.

And gilds the messy stems.

Peep from their yellowlwaving tomb,
And every bush and feather bloom
Scatter the ground with gems.

How the old forest trees glow,

Scarce her white bosom shows.

While in che brittle singed grass,
