! He cherished fond memory of his
early life, loved to dwell on the limo
cent amusements of his boyhood days
and to picture to himself the old scenes
of his native land which he intensely
loved. His simple and earnest manner
had a charm that was both interesting
/ and convincing. In his home, which
was an ideal Christian one, the true

seen. His humility and politeness
easily placed him in the front rank as

himself surrounded by smiling. happy

During the last few weeks Patrick
OMeara, one of the most polite and
Christian old gentlemen of this city,
passed away, no doubt, to his eternal
reward. He did not however, entirely
pass away, for he still lives, speaks and
acts in the shining example he has left
US of a noble, stainless and beautiful
life. During the long period Of nearly
ninety years, his life was one continu-
Gus, uninterrupted sermon of justice,
peace and charity, and of obedience 10
law and order. What rich legacy he
thus bequeathes to his fellow men!
What a pity that we do not always
fully appreciate its great worth and
stop to realize what a veritable para
disc this wicked old world should be-
come, if each one contributed his share
to that end, by leading the good, law
abiding life of our venerable deceased
friend! Who can measure the potent
and far-reaching influence for good
which even one virtuous and blameless
life may exercise, not only upon our
selves, but also upon those who are to
come after us?
The deceased had many noble traits
OF character but the most prominent
and pronounced of all was his guileless-
ness. He had the simplicity of a child.
There was no fold, no hiding place in
his heart for insfncerity and hypocrisy,
which he detested with all the strength
of his soul. His candor and singleness
OF purpose well merited the praise be-
slowed by the Master upon Nathaniel.

Easter Sunday.

THE FEAST of Easter commem-
crates the greatest event in the
life of the Goldman, namely. his
resurrection. 1t was foreshadowed by
the Hebrew pasch annually celebrated
by the Jews in memory of their going
out Of Egypt, and was the first of
their five feasts. lasting seven days.
which began with the 14th of the
month of Nissan.
The term pasch, in Hebrew passage,
was applied because on the night pre-
ceding their departure from Egypt. the
DISCRIMINATING angel, who put to death
the first-born of the Egyptians, passed
and spared the houses Of the Israel
ties. Their homes were marked with
the blood Of the lamb immolated the
evening before. This is the meaning
of the Paschal Lamb. The manner of
celebrating the feast is given in the
twelfth chapter of Exodus. The Chris
tan pasch was instituted by Christ.
when on Holy Thursday, at the Last
Supper with his disciples, he converted
bread and wine into his body and
blood, which he gave them to eat and
drink.
The time, Of celebrating Easter was
a subject of controversy in the early
centuries. but the Council of Nice,
held in S25, decided that Easter should
be celebrated on the Sunday following
the fourteenth day of the moon of
March. This year it falls on the SOth
Of March. The earliest possible date
for it to fall on would be the 22d of
March, and it fell on that day in 1918.
which was the last for 200 years.
Rarely is Easter commemorated on
the same day as the Passover of the
Hebrews. In the last century only
twice did the feasts of the Passover

1906 both feasts were celebrated on the

Father Nicholas Murphy, a parish
priest of Kilkenny, ireland, describes
as founded on a great faIlacy' the re-
cent statement of Father Simmer, in
the Irish Ecclesiastical Record, to the
effect that "one out of every two Irish
Catholics is lost to the church in
America" The "fallacy," says Father
Murphy Cwriting to the press, consists
in the idea that the vitality of the
race continues the same in the States
as in Ireland" an assumption to which
he thus takes exception:
We know the contrary to be the
fact. The mortality of the Irish chill
dren born in America is something
fearful, even in the first generation
After a few generations, in the cities
OF the states, where the Irish generally
settle, they are bound to die away
altogether. This, of course, is
stronger reason for all who have their
interest at heart TO endeavor to keep
the people at home, and in fair pros

safeguards, but the number must have
been very much exaggerated. In place

on which he bases his belief as to the
mortality of Irish children born in

From a material point of view, and
judging by the advertisements of mer-
chants. Easter seems to be time for
the renewal of ones handkerchiefs and
| shoe laces, rather than time for spir-
itual publication and salvation. The
Easter bonnet, though it seems to ex-
list merely for the sake of supplying
place in which the humorist's bee may
buzz, is really an important factor in
Easter festivities, and though upon
this occasion it often bushes unseen
in my lady's closet, still its owner is
said to wear her winter bonnet with
much more complacency when she en-
joys the happy consciousness of pos
session of this bit of spring finery.
Even men are said to be unable to
resist the allurements of Easter novel;
ties, and often provide themselves with
a seasonable pair of gloves or necktie,
which, like the bonnets, may be des-
tined to blush unseen as far as any
appearance in church is concerned.
Easter gifts are also becoming a fea-
ture of the emergence from Lenten
abstinences, and the Easter egg, which
once owed its colors to bits of red fan
mel or onions. now has its special dec
orators and colorists. This tendency
to make Easter an occasion for the
merchant and the modiste is not so
deplorable as it seems, for we know
that a desire to look ones best and to
be outwardly fair is quite compatible
with a longing for spiritual uplifting
and inward loneliness. The wish to
put off the winter garments, of which
one is heartily tired, may go hand in !
hand, or even arm in arm, with the
intention of putting off moral raiment
which may be much disigured with |
daTns and patches.

The interesting fact that the wife of
the famous Boer General Louis Botha
belongs to a branch of the family of
the Irish patriot, Robert Emmett, exc
cuted as a traitor in 1903, was men

recent speech in Belfast, in which he
told as follows of a conversation with
the general ON the occasion of his
(Davitt's) visit TO South Africa a cou-
pie of years ago:
ut was in a tent southeast of Brad
ford, in the Free State, two years ago
next month. The tent was full Of Boer
officers, and among them was Com
mandant Louis Botha, with his aide

generals brother-in-law. In recount
ing the facts of the glorious Tugela
campaign, in which with 1000 Beers
he whipped again and again from 23,-
600 to $4,000 English soldiers, and in
telling me the facts of the battle of
Colenso, Botha remarked: The even
ing previous to the attack upon US l
addressed a few words to my officers
about the fight Of the morrow, and
quoted a few sentences from Robert
Emmet's speech which thought would
be appropriate when, like him, we
might be called upon to die for our
country's independence All the world

TURNED OUT SUNDAY

Last Sunday was as fine day as
the fairest in midsummer and all
Canon was out to enjoy it to the ut
most. The walk to the soda springs
was crowded with people carrying
jugs and bottles to be filled with the
healthful mineral water. Others took
the stroll just for the pleasure there
was in it.
As one stood at the foot Of the
hill and watched the people coming
down the slope, it seemed as II there
was not room for the proverbial one
more, SO crowded was the walk.
Many were out driving in their gay
rigs aad swell turnouts. The various
drives to the mountains. caiions and
caves had much patronage.
