Congratulations upon the extensive
relief distributed last year among the
poor of this city by the many local
conferences, OF societies of st. Vincent
tie Paul, were rendered last Sunday
night, at the annual meeting of the
societies in Assumption hall, Exchange
street, by Archbishop Ireland. The
archbishop honored with his presence
the yearly gathering Of representatives
of the local conferences, held under
the auspices of the particular council'
or local governing body Two hundred
delegates represented the several thou
sand Catholics Of st. Paul whose daily
and transformations repetition Of charit-
able deeds continues a worldwide
system keeping bright the name Of the
great French priest. Relative to the
reports just presented the archbishop
said that he was deeply gratified to
learn that the work of the society, SO
excellent in many previous years, had
increased notably during 1904. The
object Of the society-to aid the poor,
succor the unfortunate-was surely
an epitome Of Christian principles. He
approved Of all Catholic societies.
Each did good, without doubt in it's
own way; each served, moreover, to
extend the chain of brotherhood that
should unite all Christians But lie
had felt that none among these my
raids of societies so directly reflected
the spirit, the object, the life Of the
church as the Society of St Vincent
de Paul; no society so fully enables
each of it's members humbly to initiate
the very founder Of the church by
''going about doing good" Judge John
w. Willis, president of the particular
council, happily told the satisfaction
of the members and their guests in
the assurance that their work was fav-
ored with the personal interest and the
direction of Archbishop Ireland. The
officers of the particular council were

bishop, by the general council of the
