FATHER QUINN TO PEOPLE
Introductory Sermon in St. Joseph's
Church Yesterday Mornine-Re-
lations of Priest and Parish.

THE best gift TO nation or any or
-anization is an upright, honest man.

UPRIGHT, honest men in charge of its
affairs is poor indeed" said Rev.
Father James J Quinn, new
Roman Catholic dean of Rock
,s!and. in his Introductory sermon TO

-erday morning. "One OF the first signs
If decay is in the character of the men
al the head of an institution, and when
4 nation or church has backslidden the
first sign is a loss of integrity Of its
men"
Priest and Church.
With this introduction, Father Quinn
spoke Of the work Of the priest of a
church. "On the personality of its
priest does the church rely" he said
He holds that the teachings of a priest
s in his life. and priests orthodoxy
should be in his disposition. No man
S great by reason of his faculties, but
Z man is great by reason of the results
he produces. a priest is not strong
because of his strength in orthodoxy
but because of the sympathy between
himself and the church congregation.
IF any man should be the friend of
man. it is the Catholic priest. He has
the noblest mission among men He
is looked upon as synonym of virtue
and enlightenment But men of en-
ightenment without influence are the
worst kind of rubbish. 1t is the duty
of a Catholic priest to lend his influ-
.ence to every movement tending to the
uplifting of a community"
