Visit and Address From Hon. 7. 3.
Minahan of New York.
The event of the week in the estima-
ton of both faculty and student body
was the informal but eloquent dis
course delivered in the assembly hall
Wednesday at II a. m. by the Hon. T.
B. Minahan of New York. Consider
ing the long journey on which he was
bound-from coast to coaSt-and the
brief period of his stay in Salt Lake,
such a favor was one to be doubly APP
preciated; while his genial compliance
with the request of our mutual friend,
DR.. NJ. A. Hughes, through whose cour-
tesy the lecture was secured, added TO
the occasion a distinct pleasure.
In presenting Mr.. Minahan as one of
the foremost leaders of the Catholic
movement toward union and organized
efficiency. Dr. Hughes also referred to
his friends special fame as an orator
remarks that like buds of promise,
poisoned, as the lecture proceeded,
into perfect fulfillment. In delightful
preamble, in which he facetiously dep
recated the honor thrust upon him and
unnecessarily apologized for his un-
preparedness, he straightway won the
hearts of his auditors, and held them
spellbound throughout his splendid ex-
position Of the principles and designs
Of the cause he represents. As he
waxed eloquent on the theme in which
his best efforts are evidently expended
one could not but realize the difference
between reading about such thing as
the Federation Of Catholic Societies
and actually meeting the chief repre-
sentative of such a body and hearing
from his own lips the meaning of the
organization. the spirit that actuates
IT, the sublime possibilities with which
it is pregnant. Several interesting
facts were related showing the spirit of
honest inquiry now so frequently met
with regarding the Church, and which
makes this a most acceptable time :or
the operations of such a force as the
federation indicates. Who that has
any zeal for the extension OF truth and
the spread of Christ's loving goodwill
for all mankind can remain unmoved
or Indifferent in the matter, and if I'M
able to do aught else. at least pray
earnestly that Gods blessing may fol-
low and prosper our noble Catholic
societies and their jealous leaders and
directors.
