In IS4S. Rev. Father John o Brien,
a noble man, came TO Lowell. Mass. to
do the Masters work in ST. Patrick 5
parish. He built schools. churches. and
hospitals for the sick and lived a life
devoted to his church and the spiritual
and material we'll being of his people
which, in his spiritual and charitable
nature and liberalty of mind. included
all mankind.
Besides his duties of church and ad-
ministratiOn, he was ever visiting the
afflicted. cheering and encouraging the
unfortunate. No matter what the
weather in winters storm or summer
heat, Father John, as he was fondly
known TO his people. made his daily
calls. His cares and burdens greatly
increased, and in 1854 his duties be
gan TO wear him down. He was at
tackled with a serious cold which. de
veloping into a stubborn cough and af
Fiction of the lungs. caused the great
est alarm for the health of the beloved
clergyman.
Medical skill seemed unable TO stay
the progress of the disease. Finally an
eminent specialist was consulted. The
doctor. who had been called because OF
his high standing and eminence in his
profession, gave Father John a pre-
scription TO cure the cold and remove
, tie lung trouble. as well as 10 build
up and strengthen the body.
The clergyman began to improve az
once, and the cough soon disappeared
H continued TO take the medicine, and
; it corrected his digestion, its food ele
ments nourished his whole system
made new tissue and gave vital power
to the blood and nerves. His people
: rejoiced when he declared that he had
been made as well and strong as ever;
and his wonderful recovery was the one
thing talked of. for he was loved and
admired by all, regardless of race
creed or class.

cine to his parishioners and friends

have issued orders denying working
men the right to quit their work either
individually or collectively until the
court granted permission for them to
do so, and when the law gives a man
the right to quit his job with or with
out reason and at his own discretion.
Corporations have used the courts
upon the merest pretense with a series
of trumped accusations for the pur-
pose Of thwarting labor and gaining
time to defeat 1t in a strike.
Statistics prove that less than s per
cent Of the temporary orders granted
are made permanent. Applicants have
no desire to make them permanent
when seeking them. Their only pur-
pose Is, as We have stated, to spar
for time by tying the hands Of labor
with an order from the court. Pre-
sident Roosevelt's plan then is a step
in the right direction, but labor should
not cease its purpose in limiting the
power of courts. It should seek to
prevent the court from declaring un-
lawful that which the law says is law
full.
