was founded still live and are being practiced
every day. by visiting the SICK relieving the dis

nevolent orders seldom stop to consider for a
moment the great good that Is being done every
day in this community for relief of the sick and

and abiding patriotism-and pure and elevated
moral sentiment, displaying itself not in cold

ST. PATRICK's SOCIETY.
St. Patrick's Society, the Oldest Roman Catho-
lie organization in the city, is made up of the
older members of the Catholic congregation.
This society was formed by those who settled
in this section in the beginning of this century
and received its charter from the State on Au-
gust 81, 1862. Through all these years it has been
power for good amongst its members, socially
and financially, and in a charitable way has dis
bursed great amount of money amongst its
members who have been prevented by loss of
health from their daily occupation. 1t has also
kept alive the spirit Of nationality and love of the
old land which seems to be firmly implanted in
the hearts of Irishmen, of whom It is largely COM
posed, although its membership has been largely
reinforced from time to time by the Catholic
men of other nations who have invariably be-
come active, faithful members.
Their motto embazoned on their banner 1--WE
visit the sick, we bury the dead we comfort the
widow and the orphan" will at once commend
itself to all, for who is there that at some time
through life does not need the comfort which is
derived from heartfelt sympathy
Their place of meeting is In the basement of
St. Patrick's Church and meetings are held on
the second Sunday Of every month.
