worthy of the name he bears. No, this
should be a test of his CathoIcity and
any one failing in this test should not
be honored by so glorious title as
Catholic knight; for a knight Is not a
common Christian warrior; he Is or
should be the very flower of the militia
Of Christ.
"See, sir knights, how many glor-
ious works lie before you! 1t is all
well enough to have dress parades and
speeches and initiations and banquets,
but in heavens name let not your
work stop here. Frederick Ozanam,
after his conversion, was taunted by
his friends with the rebuke that after
all, though he was Catholic, he was
doing nothing to forward the interests
Of his Church or to give practical
tangible evidence of her spirit of char.
ity Stung by the sneer, he and few
other young men, into whom he had
infused his spirit, set to work; and the
result is that worldwide organization

many tears.

ject before you; always have some
thing worthy to do; for only in this
way can great organizations thrive and
grow strong. Without works, without
a definite purpose, no organization car
endure. And that purpose must be
positive-a purpose to accomplish some
thing that will further Gods interest
And what nobler, what more meritori
GUS work can there be than the pro
motion of our Catholic schools, thus
helping to develop and perfect the
image of God in those innocent souls
Truly this is work that should evoke
all the chivalry of your hundred thou
sand k1ights-a work incomparably
more worthy and meritorious thar
even that which stirred Europe of ole
and marshaled her bravest sons upo1
the plains of Palestine.
"And now, sir knights, as I bega1
by bidding you welcome, will clos
by congratulating you on your splen
did Catholicity, on the good example
you have given everywhere lin thi'
diocese, on the great work you have
done in bringing Catholics together
in making them known to one another
in creating a Catholic sentiment ant
Catholic public opinion, in making
Catholics respected and self-respecting
in bringing back stray sheep to th'
fold, in stirring up in many souls {
spirit of living faith, and in spreadin,
abroad an atmosphere of peace ant
