William Kelley, as toast master, |
was equal to the occasion and carried
his honors well.
Rev. T. j. O Reilly of Fort Wayne
Council 45l was owing to sickness
unable to attend, and the response to
the toast, The American Catholic,
was given by Rev. Father Mulchay /
OF Anderson. He was interrupted at
frequent intervals by applause. The
remarks were highly appreciated by |
not only the local council but by |
those who were in attendance from
South Bend and Notre Dame uni
versity.
Hon A. NJ. Sweeney of lndianapo
lis was, much to the regret Of all, un
able to be present, but his place was
filled in most satisfactory manner
by Capt c. ]. Murphy of Evansville,
who res sponded to the toast Frater

In the course of Mr. Murphy 5 re-
marks he mentioned the great public |
good that must come from an organi |
zltion so well equipped as the |
Knights of Columbus. To organize
the solid virtues inculcated by the |
doctrines and practices of the Catho |

for personal profit or gain common |
To fraternal organizations as we see
them today but To have higher aims
and nobler ambitions are objects |
worthy of the true Catholic. patriotic |
citizen. The highest exemplitica- |
tion of unselfiSh devotion found upon |
earth is seen in the aSylums and |
schools. where for the pure love OF |
God the SiSterhood of the church |
give their lives for this work. How |
sadly society today needs that un-
selfish devotion to such work among |
the men who are the great factors in
the busy pursuits of life. The un-
compromising doctrines of our
church say that you must CON
Tess your every sin and before for
giveness is obtained restitution and
reparation must be made. These are
the doctr mes which 70 to the bottom.

even after sincere confession is made.
The great need of the day is educated
men. conscientious citizens, moral
giants and lay apostles. VIII we
render our organization valuable TO
our country by furnishing these
needs?
