til Ireland is preparing to take her

til Ireland is preparing to take her
honorable place amongst the nations
of the earth. Just as surely as the
Ancient Isralites and Jews have been
selected to carry the name of Jehovah
and the knowledge of the ten COM
mandments to the Gentle world; so
certainly has the 20 millions of the
Irish race diffused the knowledge OF
Jesus Christ and his only church
amongst the people of this planet
At the conclusion OF the lecture
which lasted one hour and thirty min
utes, the priest advised the Irish peo-
pie of Mandan and Morton county to
live in harmony and kindness with
people of other races and creeds, to
be most edifying and exemplary Chris
.tians and law abiding citizens of this
American republic-the hope of
humanity the world over. The sacred
concert closed with Benediction, and
the eight hundred lights being turned
on added brilliancy to the scene. Dean
Collins is justly proud Of his new
church, built at a cost of $4,000 by
his beloved parishioners and friends
in Mandan. Next to the cathedral at
Fargo it is the finest church edifice
in North Dakota.

often the same paper made the atmos-

My six boys man whom I met
in Minnesota in September said to
me, are all Catholics; they have mar
ried Catholics; and, living as we did
, on a distant farm, far from church,
we were kept faithful by the Catholic
paper-each Of my boys gets from me

, to the old Freeman" paid me better
than anything else into which I put
my money
1T is impossible to realize the in
fluence of the Catholic press on faith
and morals unless you get away from
the cities. There sermons, lectures,
books, libraries are available; organ
F, izations of all sorts abound; but i'm
agine the remote village, the far-off
farm house, the long winter evenings,
which may be spent in reading per-
haps, but in reading which has no re-
lation to those essential truths and
rules Of conduct which make the glory
, and the grandeur of the faith.
The priest everywhere finds his
path made easier by the press. He

it exists already where a Catholic

has been deferred to July. Mgr. Thorn
as A. Flynn, the resident priest, cele-
brated the first mass without. any cler-
ical assistance. The new building Is
at present said to be the finest atho:
lie church in the state. 1t is built OF
solid brick, of a capacity to seat 500
people. All the windows in the main
body are memorial windows of rich
design and construction, and the out
side appearance is impressive, but the
interior is the JOY and pride OF the
priest and congregation. Everything
here is of a design and construction
in keeping with the Gothic architec-
ture. The main altar is rich and inn
posing, the gift of Mrs. Sarah Flynn,
mother of hte priest. There are, be-
sides, two side affairs, two confession
ais, three marble holy water fonts,
baptismal font, lofty and spacious
choir gallery, for which all are now
striving with might and main to pro-
vide a grand new pipe organ, to be
in keeping with the beauty and digni.
ty of the church, to be installed in
time for the conservation. Rich brus-
sci carpet covers the sanctuary floor
and choir gallery, and 200 incandes-
cent lights, artistically arranged, are
used to light the building. In the base
ment is being fitted up a chapel into
which all the interior furnishings OF
the old church will be removed. The
building is heated by three furnaces
of the hot air type.

The following story is told of how
the Office boy got the better of former
Secretary Root: Said Mr.. Root, "Who
carried off my paper basket?"
1T was Mr.. Reilly" said the boy.
''Who is Mr.. Reilly?" asked Mr..
Root.
"The janitor, SIR
An hour later Mr.. Root asked, Jim
mic, who opened that Window"
"Mr. Lantz, sir"
And who is Mr.. Lantz?"
1.-THE window cleaner, SIR"
Mr.. Root wheeled about and looked
at the boy. "See here, James," he
said, 1--WE call men by their first
names here. We don't mister them
in this Office. Do you understand"
In ten minutes the door opened,
and small shrill voice said, There's
man here as wants to see you,
Elihu."

Influence Of Catholic Press.

Il have, perhaps, more than most
men, had opportunities of noting the
effect of the Catholic newspapers on
the life around us-especially in coun-
try places, writes Maurice Francis
Egan. In many cases men have told
me that the Catholic papers kept their
faith alive, and that their children
have remained Catholics mainly
through the influence which these
papers worked on their lives. Away
from the vivid Catholic life of an
American city, with none of those in
tellectual or social incentives which
make the practice of religion easy in
great centers of civilization, these
men and their families were depend
ent on the weekly paper for the vital
ization of their faith. 1t made the
atmosphere of the home, and very

St. patrick's Day at Maudan.

At the new Catholic church in
Mandan, N. D., on the evening of st.
Patricll's Day a grand sacred concert
was given in honor of Ireland's patron
saint. The concert was very fine, says
the Mandan Pioneer, and the address
by Very Rev. Dean Collins was an
able and eloquent story Of Ireland's
history. A synopsis of Father Collins
lecture is here given.
Dean Collins commenced his lecture
with the philosophic statement t.
God, man, and the universe comprise
all that exist. By the providence OF
God, man and the universe are gov
erned and preserved In looking over
the history of the human race for six
thousand years Divine Providence
seems to have selected certain ma
lions, races and individuals to &C.

nations were the Ancient Empires

Rome, Abraham, Moses and the
prophets of the Old Testament and
Christ and his apostles in the New
Testament are examples. JUST as truly

of the church as "St. Patrick"-was

Stricken With Leprosy.

New York, March 25.-In letter re-
ceived in the city came the announce
ment that Brother Seraphion Van
Koop, member of a wealthy Belgian
family, who two years ago went to
the Hawaiian Islands to take up the
work begun by Father Damien in the
leper colony of Molokai, has himself
fallen a victim to the disease.
The letter came from the young
missionary himself to Rev. Father
John ]. Dunn, head of the local bu-
reau for the propagation of the faith,
the Roman Catholic missionary bu-
reau. Its text was as follows:
