The Irish standard., 1903-07-25

The selections played were chiefly
Irish melodies, and patriotic airs. At
the church a small PLATFORM had been
erected about the place where the
stone was to be laid. HE platform
was draped with the American flag
and covered with green branches. On
the platform We're Bishop McGolrick,
Father Feehely and several other
prominent Catholic clergymen at the
head of the lakes. The bishop was at
tired in the robes of his office, aud the
| priests wore the lace and gold and
white robes Indicative of their position
Prayers and blessings We're said over
the stone by Bishop McGolrick, the
documents Of the church, and a num-
BIER OF other records We're placed in the
stone, and two masons placed it in it's
position. Bishop McGolrick made the
only address of the afternoon. "The
setting up of this country, ana the
rapid increase in population" he said.
brings with it a corresponding growth
OF evil. There are now 600 inmates of
cur state prison at saltwater. Our i'll
sane asylums are full to OVERLOOKING
New houses of refuge have been built
and are filled. Our jails and prisons
are crowded with prisoners. The police
forces in our cities have been increased,
to meet the inrOads Of vice. These
facts make me glad to see such
building as this erected. Impress the
ten commandments upon the minds of
men and there is no need for prisons.
Within the walls of this church you
do not find candidates for the prisons.
There are 5O,OOO,OOO people in the
United States who do not believe in
God. or in heaven or a hell. What
wonder that our prisons are full, and
our jails crowded, when there is this
vast host Of men who do not fear fu-
ture punishment, and do not feel re-
sponsible to any higher power for their
actions Education won't touch these
people. We frequently find in our
prisons, men, who are better book
keepers, better accountants, better
mechanics, than many that are to be
| found outside. The great principle of
responsibility must be talked into the
minds of men, A building such as this
Is of supreme Importance to the state.
Its members need no watching, no
prisons no asylums, and they pass
| from here to their reward. And so 1
am glad that such a church has been
erected a church where the beautiful
ceremonies of religion can be observed.
May all who have contributed to it be
blessed, and the sums they have given
lie returned to them MANIFOLD, may
the work of the church be blessed, and
may all you who have turned out for
this sacred occasion be blessed" The
cornerstone is situated on the north
east corner of the building, about
twelve feet from the ground. The
what delayed during the past week,
pending the laying of the stone, but
the force of men will be increased this
week, and the work rushed.
