His Advice

Sir Hearn spoke OF the proposed an
nual memorial mass to be observed
by all the councils February %. He
stated that during the year the fund Of
$4,000 for endowing a chair of Amer
lean history in the Catholic university
OF America was completed. He also
spoke of the second appeal made by
Cardinal Gibbons, and urged all state
deputies who had not already done
so to notify the venerable cardinal of
their support in this great undertake
ing for the university. The speaker
dwelt upon the position maintained by
the Catholic church in this country
and it's phenomenal growth. A report
was also made concerning the build
ing of the national headquarters at
New Haven, Conn.,, which was pro-
crossing satisfactorily.
Sir Hearn spoke of the future ad-
vancement of the order and of the
lines it should be carried on. He con-
tinued:
"Toilers must be placed at the head.
The man who will always have the
greatest influence to make or unmake
is the leader Of the council, the
grand knight, together with his asso-
ciate officers. Therefore it is the duty
of every member to see to it that who
ever be elected to office in the council
shall be chosen because of his ability
not on the score of affability or general
good fellowship. Only the best men in
the council, whether they be personal
or social favorites should be given the
leading rein. From the field of grand
knights the state deputies are obliged
invariably to select their district dep
uties, and if they have not good ma
terial to choose from the order is the
loser.

Some Of the most wonderful structures

knights of Columbus, resolve your
selves into one great Catholic truth
society. Step into that place known
today as the lay apostolic party, living
upright lives to represent to those out

Be considerate of the feelings of those
differing in faith. Break down preju
dices and show Catholicism as It is.
1--WE Catholic people must first know
what we want, and If we have reason
for It it will be granted. We do not
want to- destroy the public school sys-
tenn, but we do want every child edu-
Gated. We do not want division of
school funds, only that which we are
entitled to. We want the secular edu-
cation for those who want It, and not
that the state should pay for secular
education and not one penny for relig-
ious education. Let the state decide
the school examinations and teachers
and let the state pay for it. The state
will receive the same and the religious
principles will be preserved.
Here is a field for your activity in
bringing a public sentiment that will
listen. The one great thought seems
to be that it is and must be non-sec-
tartan. 1t never has been, and Is not
non-sectarian. The only persons who
are satisfied are those who are indif-
ferent, or agnostics, as they call them.
Agnosticism is as much a religion as
the Methodist or Presbyterian. We are
not willing that that school should be
forced upon the whole American pub
1ic."
At the close of the mass Bishop Con-
atty extended his welcome to the
knights as the bishop of the diocese.

sified are the calls made upon us in
this regard, and it seems to me that
we should endeavor to be as well or
ganized in our bestowal of charity as
we are in any other field of life.
And if we now can devise some
means of centering our efforts on the
most deserving of the charitable pro-
jects which come before our notice, we
will have accomplished much. This
must be done through the state coun
ellis, in my opinion, for we are not yet
in position to consider the under
taking of any charity from a national
standpoint. Scholarships can be
founded in Catholic colleges, employ
ment bureaus can he set up in the
large cities, free beds can be endowed
in Catholic hospitals, or in hospitals
under city or state supervision, and
bureaus may be maintained for the
care of orphans and waits. There are
many fields for action, and 1 urge
each state deputy to give the matter
serious thought and see how the eff
forts of the state council he represents
can best be turned to practical pur-
poses"
Mr.. Hearn closed his report with
statements regarding the advancement
of the order along business lines, ad-
vocating the empowering of the finance
committee to sell as we'll as purchase
bonds, thus enlarging the income. He
also advocated several changes along
the old line insurance policy.
Daniel Colwell, national secretary,
made report on the general financial
condition of the order.
DR.. w. It. McMannis, the national
physician, in his report analysed the
mortuary record and made suggestions
and comments.
A large amount of business of
interest to the delegates was dis
cussed during the afternoon. Ad-
Journment was taken at 5 p. m.
until Thursday morning. Follow
ing the adjournment the delegates
attended the dedication of the window
at the Hollywood church. The dele
gates will attend the barbecue today

The first business transacted Thurs

HIGH MASS AT ST. VlBIANA'S
Opening of Formal Ceremonies of Con.
Venton Week

The national convention of the
knights of Columbus was formally
opened with pontifical mass yesterday
morning at the Cathedral of ST. Vibi-
ana. The cathedral church presented
the appearance of an almost fairy-like
scene, the decorations being airy and
graceful. The white Italian marble
altar was adorned with white carna-
tions, Easter lilies and ferns. The dec
orations emphasized the resemblance
to the rock-cut tombs of Petra, Ell
DER.
Above the altar the shrine was en-
powered with palms and lilies, one
large candle being placed before the
figure of st. Vibiana, the patroness of
the diocese and titular Of the cathedral.
The arches outlining the nave of the
church were draped with red, white
and blue bunting, while the choir loft
was draped with the papal colors, white
and gold. These colors were also used
on the bishops throne. The Misses
Rose and Mary Bernard and Frances
Dominguez had charge of the deeora-
tions.
The clergy entered the church in pro-
cession, being headed by the cross
bearer, acolytes and altar boys. The
priests and bishops were clad in beau
tiful robes. Bishop Conaty being in
cappa magma.

call their flocks of simple minded ma

Fresh from the deliberations of the

following their arrival in Hollywood,
filed slowly into the church and took
their places. For ten minutes the si-

Then began the professional. To the
sounds of the organ and the voices of

"This is our busy day." was the
slogan of the knights of Columbus and
their visiting friends yesterday. From
early morn till late at night they were
incessantly on the go. The variety and
changefulness of the entertainments
provided for them by the local COM
mittee kept every one ION the jump"
10 cover the many things offered.
Even as it was, so closely did the
features develop that most of them had
to give up some pleasures in order
to make the others.
The official side of the week really
began when the convention itself was
called to order by Supreme Knight
Hearn. This took place about o'clock
In the Angelus.
The day started with pontifical high
mass in St. Vibiana's Cathedral sung
by Bishop Conaty, with the sermon
by Archbishop Montgomery, and a
special choir of priests. This occupied
the forenoon and was one of the most
impressive services ever held here.
The pleasuring began at noon, when
the hegira to Santa Monica set in.
Thousands went down to the beach,
where great program was given. The
delegates had their turn at o'clock
when they journeyed to Hollywood,
saw Paul de Longpre's gardens and
listened to benediction in the church
there.
At night the entire Belasco theater
was turned over to the visitors and
they literally "owned the house" Mean
while the omnipresent Joe" Scott
and a full team exemplifed the third
degree at Armory hall, and thereafter
a reception was rendered Archbishop
Montgomery at Cumnock hall. So it
will be seen that everyone had about
all he could do.
Today will be given over to two
special events, the trip to and barbecue
at San Juan Capistrano, with the ring
ing of the Angelus bells and an
address by Bishop Conaty, during the
day, and the reception by the northern
California delegations at the Lanker-
SHIN tonight. There will be no council
meeting today; the delegates will all go

The music for the service was the
most elaborate ever attempted in Los
Angeles. The choir of seventy-five
voices, under the leadership and train
ing of Rev. T. F. Fahey rendered Goun-
od's third mass in an artistic manner.
AS professional "Ecce Sacredos Mag
nus" was rendered, which was ar
ranged in honor of Bishop Conaty by
Father Fahey. The pure Gregorian
chant was rendered by quartet of
priests composed of Revs. Clifford,
Kaiser, Murphy and McCabe, C. M,
under the direction of Rev. Raphael
Fuhr, o. F. NJ, who presided at the
organ.
Archbishop Montgomery preached
the sermon, taking for his topic, "Un-
less the Lord Build the House, They
Labor in Vain Who Build It."
The archbishop opened his sermon
with a welcome to the knights and
their friends and spoke of the good of
the order He dwelt at length on the
Christian education question. He said
Though young as state, we have
pure Catholic traditions, of which ev-
cry loyal son of California is proud.
over and above all we feel we have a
heroic age that has offered the best
ideas and ambitions. 1t Is a pleasing
reminiscence that when our national
forefathers were in preparation for a

slope a small but valiant army was
waging a bloodless conflict and laying
the foundations of this great state.

Plea for Charity

"It may be said with truth that state
deputies do not at all times exercise
proper judgment in appointing district
deputies. 1 would earnestly advocate
all state deputies to go slow in maxi
ing appointments. There is no need Of

to the cyclonic eloquence of the worthy
past state deputy of California, Brother
Scott; for. although at first thought,
we were inclined to the belief that the
task Los Angeles council, through him,
asked should be allotted them, was too
great for a council so young in the
order, we were all finally convinced
that the cordial and pressing invitation,
extended through their energetic and
enthusiastic champion, could not be
declined.
"Thus it is, brothers, that we are to-
day assembled far from home, but not,
thank God, in the land of strangers.
Rather we are in the home of our
brothers. Who can witness the demon
strative welcome accorded us and re-
main unaffected? Who among us, so
unresponsive to the one touch of
Nature, can rest impassive under the
cordial attentions showered upon us'
God bless our big-hearted brothers of
Los Angeles concil, and of the imperial
state of California. May their lives
and usefulness in the advancement of
Catholic manhood, perennially flourish
and bloom"
