COMMITTEE OF As.

There will be seen several new faces
of active workers when the Committee of
Forty-fye cOnvenes the next time. The
Pythian lodges are convinced that this
committee if composed of the right ma
terial is an important body and capable
of performing a strenuous amount of as
sistance to the Hall Association. Grand
Chancellor Wiber says: The Pythians
are determined that their new temple
must go up this year, and 1t behooves all
hands to stop talking and get actively at
work. Let the new blood take hold with
will and show the Domain what can
be done with little determined effort. ."

Cardinal Wiseman, himself great
master Of Oriental languages, had
proved that there were forty-five ways
of saying This represents My Body
If Christ had wanted to say It, and
that in such languages the word ''is''
never means represents The last
step. "This" was demonstrative pro.
noun. 1t pointed out thing, but it
did not declare what that thing exactly
was. Such decision was left to the
rest Of the sentence. But it expressed
"a very definite idea of the thing, which
was apparent from its outward show
ing. Wherefore, Christ's word "this"
did not assert whether it was bread or
His body that Christ held in His hand.
1t meant the thing, whatever it was,
and not only the outward appearance
of bread. Now the thing with the out
ward appearance of bread would nat
urally be bread, but that did not pre-
vent Christ from systematically chang
ing it, if He so willed, into His own
body. The lecturer then went on to
show how this simple reasoning dis
posed of the arguments of Zwingle,
and asked were we redeemed by a
symbol, or was the body on Calvary
only an empty shadow. Could Christ
have said more plainly, If he wanted
to say it, This is My Body" or could
He have used words more misleading
if he really did not want to say this
is My blood? There were two simple
answers to two simple questions:
Could Christ change bread into His
body and wine into His blood; and
secondly, If He could, did He? The
apostles believed He could and did
and so they taught, and so the Church
which Christ founded in them taught
On this the Eastern and Western
Churches agreed. AS Mt the Last Sup
per, there was no place for doubt OF
blasphemy, SO in Christ's Church there
was still the echo of Gods challenge
to men-believe or 60. Would they be
lieve with the apostles, or with Calvin
would they protest and go? The lee
turer concluded in an imprisoned up
peal, saying ooh human reason, bow
and believe; thou burst not give the Ii,
to God. Bow and believe"

scented st. Patrick'S day evening by
the st. Clements Dramatic club at
st. Clements hall, to a house packed
from top to bottom, every inch Of

The club was assisted by Flaaten's
orchestra, which furnished some de-
lightful music between the acts,
which was highly appreciated. The

James T. Collins died at st. Mary's
hospital early last Saturday morning
from tubular pneumonia. While
death was considered inevitable, it

Mr.. Collins, for the past six or seven
years, had been an operator for the
Associated Press, most of the time on
the night trick" He was one of the
most expert receivers that ever took
press report in this city. The night
report here is exceptionally heavy for
one operator, to handle, and is hard
test of the skill Of the man at the
listening end Of the line. He was
widely known among newspaper men
and telegraphers all over the country
because Of his long service here; and
every night since his condition be-
came serious the men along the AS
ISOLATED Press system made connec-
tons with Duluth in order to learn
some news about him. This was car
ried so far that the brother, receiving
the night report in newspaper office
in Sacramento, was advised nightly
of "Jim's' condition. The remains
were taken to st. Paul for interment.

WIT AND WISDOM

"For my part" said Mrs. Henpeck,
as she listened to the lady and gentle
man in the next fiat scolding, II don't
believe those people were ever meant
for each other. don't believe they
can ever be happy together, even if
they live hundred years." "Well,"
Mr.. Henpeck answered, shrinking a
little farther into his corner, cit may
be as you say, darling, but they seem
to think they have fighting chance
for it, anyway"
Once when Sir Charles Hotham, gov
ernor of Victoria, was out driving,
his coachman nearly came into COLI
sion with wood carter, an Irishman,
in q narrow lane outside Melbourne.
The Irishman would not pull off the
middle Of the road, as he had the
heavier load, and, by the rule of such
things was thus entitled to keep there.
The incensed governor thereupon put
his head out Of the carriage window
and shouted: do you know who 1
am, my man? I'm Sir Charles
Hotham, the governor Of victoria."'

was it If they were Ignorant? Need
they have been ignorant, need some of
them have been unable to read and

saint Patrick"
There is lesson to be learned from
this review of Ireland's glories. That
lesson is that the hope which has ever
glowed brightly in the hearts of her
sons will one day, in Gods own time,
be realized-that as the cross has been,
so the shamrock will be emancipated.
"Some twenty-three years ago, on a
fair October morning, three young
1rishmen were led out to scaffold
erected in front of the Jail in Manches-
ter, England. They were to be hanged
for an offence that was quasi political.
Their hanging was characterized at
the time as nothing else than judicial
murder, pure and simple. Be that as
lit may, the last word of each was
prayer for the country they had loved
and served unto death. God save Ire
land they prayed, and the drop fell
and their souls went out to meet their
maker.
"'God save Irelandv That has been
the prayer Of countless noble lives who
sacrificed their all in the purest cause
that ever unsheathed sword, un-
furled flag or evoked tear-the sa-
cred cause Of faith and country. 1t
has becl. the oft repeated ejaculation
Of thousands of martyred Irish patri-
OTIS in the dock and in the dungeon
cell. It has been the wailing cry of
millions of voices blending in mourn
full symphony with the hoarse murmur
of Atlantic bellows-voices of heart
broken exiles, involuntary emigrants
from land they loved as perhaps no
other land was ever loved by any 9TH
err people. God save Ireland has been
the burden of our races prayer during
every one, of the 700 long dark years
I Of foreign misrule, and from the four
quarters of the civilized globe it rises
on each successive Irish festival with
increasing confidence, with renewed
fervor and with redoubled volume"
In conclusion, Father O'Reilly said
that he had no doubt but that God in
His own good time would grant this
national prayer and then, indeed,
would Ireland be for the Irish alone.
He was frequently interrupted by ap-
plause.
Among the members of the reception
committee who occupied places on the
'stage were: President John J. Sulli-
van, of division No. 1, Ancient Order
Of Hibernians; Rev. Henry Golden
and General James McAuliff, Of Walla

der the gallant Boer leader, De Wet,

Guided to seek a fresh field of activity
and they emigrated to South Africa
and obtained work in the Rand
mines. Stratton was working a
mining claim between johannesburg
and Glands Fontein and was burnt
out and lost all his effects when the
British Gen. Knox made his advance.
This enraged Stratton and he enlisted
in the Boer cause as scout, in which
capacity lie had served in his native
state during the Indian troubles. He
tells thrilling tale of many hard
fights under his dashing leader at Kip
river, Heidelburg, Rhinoster and other
places, including the siege of Lady
smith and the battle of Spion Kop.
Blood flowed like water down the
side Of Spion Ikop after the fight, :"
said Mr.. Stratton. "There must have
been nearly 1900 British soldiers
slaughtered that day. The Beers held
the heights, and when the British at
tackled they were simply moved down
in heaps. 1t was 4 fearful sight, and
have no desire to ever witness such
a one again" Stratton was captured
iand paroled some time ago. Mr.. STRAIT
ton is an expert steam drill man, and
intends to go to work in the iron
mines. He has a very valuable claim
near johannesburg upon which he
hopes to realize as soon as peace is
