AN INTERESTING ADDRESS.
Increasing the Membership Of the A. o. H.

P. I. Moran, National Treasurer OF
the Ancient Order OF Hibernians, re-
Gently said:
"One OF mans strongest emotions is
love for society. His inability to thrive
without this desire to form brother
hoods. to satisfy the cravings OF intel
lect, religion, and philanttropy-is as
active today as it was three hundred
years ago. when the grand organization
known as the Ancient Order OF Hibcrn-
ians was evolved from the highest and
noblcst principles, namely, patriotism
and religion
These are now the brightest gems in
the order as they were in days gone BY
when patriotism meant persecution and
religion death. Thank the Eternal Fa-
thcr that we are not in this age COM
PEELED to hold our meetings by stealth;
that the press chronicles our meetings
and festivities; that our brotherhood is
known, respected, and consulted all
over this great republic; that the great
est students, the wisest fnanciers, the
most acute business men are proud to
wear the badge of our order.
The young men Of America possess
in pre-eminent degree the principles
which form strong and useful societies.
The Church and State are both indebted
to the organization of which I speak;
for no man can make practical unity,
friendship. or Christian charity his
standard OF living without becoming a
better citizen and more devout Chris
tian. To the Irish-American Catholic
the Ancient Order OF FIibernians makes
all these appeals in one. 1t teaches re-
spect for law and order, and thereby
makes better citizenss 1t makes prac-
teal Catholics of its members, and in so
doing becomes an auxiliary Of the
church. True Christian charity is also
inscribed on it's banner. Old Ireland,
too, claims place in the hearts Of the
members.
Three hundred thousand American
citizens are today practical Hibernians.
They must attend to their duties at
least once year, and when convenient
the divisions go in body to Holy
| Communion.
The order enrolled six thousand new
members in the last three months. II
it continues to increase in this proper
ton lor several years every IrishAm
lean Catholic will be Hibernian, and
ii its motto be obeyed, Friendship
Unity, and Christian Charity the name
Hibcrnian will become synonym for a
true Christian gentleman.
Let each member use his energy tc
bring about this grand result. Ii yor
are not member, become one of us
ii you arc, tell your friends OF the prin
cipes OF our order. Let every state
county, and division officer exert him
self towards building up the order.
"At meeting of the directors recent
i ly held it was decided to urge the mex
convention to secure permanent head
Il quarters in Washington by the erection
