DR.. Garrigan's Response.
Mr.. Downing called on DR.. Garrigan for
the first speech. The latters toast was
THE Church." and was discussed at length.
From brief review of the work of ST. Pat
rick, DR.. Garrigan discussed the mission of
the whole church. He argued that religion
and law should never conflict. and con-
tended that the legislative power is under
the greatest obligations to observe and keep
inviolate the moral law of the church. He
concluded in the following words:
Now the church stands for the moral
law and its binding force upon the in
dsvdual, and upon all bodies that enter
and 1nt9 the the a' organizations Of the state
The church stands for the decalogue,
Tor the supreme sovereignty of personal
Cod, for conscience for right authority,
for just law. She maintains and protects
the home. 1.-The nursery of the nation; she
teaches tbs, Integrity and purity Of life:
she is theltgh of the world and the salt
OF the earFh The Catholic Church is nee
essary fortthe state. She is the great con-
servatiVe moral power which has controlled
the lives OF the, greatest part of mankind
for 1000 Years. AS the Catholic Church

r.. Tribute to America.
Mr.. Cochran spoke to the toast "Ameri-
ca. His arEnment proved to be felicitous In
the extreHe. and awoke the assemblage to
the most administrative applause The
cause of ,libertysahe said. had been upper
most in the. minds of the American people
from the time when the United States COM
prised only fringe of the seacoast down
to the present. when the country had grown
into a mighty empire. But today il was
possible for designing men to commit the
governments of the earth to violence AS
an example of such thoughtlessness and
lack Of principle. the speaker cited what he
termed the "despicable'' conduct Of the
British soldiery in South Africa. 1t was
pltlfui to view the struggle of two peaceful
republics against such power as Great
Britain, he said. What had they done to
merit the calamity which Great Britain has
visited upon them? 1t was an attempt tn as
sassinate a peaceful people Let the audi
ence there assembled so dedicate itself
anew to the cause of liberty as to make i'm,
possible any further abuses of modern pow
er OF the same nature and re-establish per-
manently the truth of the motto illustrated
In New York harbor-"Liberty enliehtens
the world ~"
