the meetings, and the cadet societies
must be strengthened.
"1f we are true advocates of total
abstinence we must commence at
home and take care of the boys; II
we are not, we cannot be consistent
in the cause. I advise you to get the
boys in the cadet societies and in this
way build up the union. This is the
only way to make Catholic people total
abstainers in years to come.
The incentive for all societies in the
diocese to become more energetic,
Father Curran stated, in a friendly
spirit of rivalry, will be prize to be
offered by himself. out of his own
pocket, for the society which will en-
roll the most members between now
and the next diocesan convention. It
will be an oil painting of the apostle
of temperance, Father Mathew. en-
cased in the finest gold frame obtain
able. The national board will be asked
to furnish this prize, and IL they re-
fuse, the president of the Scranton
diocese will provide the prize.
II intend, during the coming fall and
winter. to try and get all the societies
organized in every parish in the cause
of total abstinence. II every woman
would carry the banner of Father
Mathew, it would surely result in
much good. If we don't feel the cause,
we are not strict Father Mathew men
and women.
MUST INITIATE CHRIST.
1--WE must stoop down and pick up
the fallen as Christ did, associate with
nv,I rot int
good graces, if we expect to win them
over to the cause of total abstinence.
This is to be great year for the
cause, and if all will do their duty
always and carry on the work outlined.
we will demonstrate to the national
convention at Hartford, Conn.,. next
year that Scranton is the first diocese
in America in the cause of total alb
stinence.'
A motion prevailed that it be the
sense of the convention that all dele
gates representing their respective So
cieties make every effort in their power
to gain members for their societies. in
order to help Rev. J. j. Curran to re-
deem his pledge made atAthe nationa!
convention held in Philadelphia. The
vacancy in the treasurer's office was
filled by the selection of James Regan,
of West Scranton, who received Sc
votes to 20 cast for Edward Hayers, of
Pine Brook. The new official was in
stalled by President Curran. The invi-
tation of st. Johns society, of Pine
Brook, was accepted for the next
quarterly meeting three months hence.
Prior to adjournment, several of the
delegates discussed amendments to the
constitution which will be framed and
presented at the next diocesan conven-
ton. Refreshments were served by the
ladies of the West Scranton societies
and social session followed. at which
vocal and instrumental numbers were
given by several of the guests.
