FATHER HEALEY'S LECTURE
In Series of Two Weeks to Be Deliv-
cred at Sacred Heart
Church.

Last evening at the Sacred Heart
church the two weeks series of lee
lures for non-Catholics which are to
be given by the Paulist father. Rev
Thomas l.. Healey. c. S. p, was opened
with an address on "One Thing is Nee
essary."
These lectures are, as Rev. Healey
explained. for the purpose of giving
first hand and correct Information re-
garding the beliefs and practice of the
Catholic church: Those who attend
this series, and hear our statements
and arguments on these points. will. |
am sure. have n more kindly feeling
toward us. If nothing more" said Faith
err Healey. He stated that often the
church suffers because incorrect state
ments are made maliciously, but more
frequently IL happens that the incor-
rect statements are made because of
lack of accurate knowledge.
Heard by Large Audience.
The lectures are on separate sub
jects. and each deals with particula-
point of the doctrines of the church.
but all are in a connected series. eacn
one being related with the one proceed
ing 1t and the one following Rev.
Healey is a very interesting speaker.
and his address was attentively listen
ed to- by a very large audience. COM
posed largely of nOn-Catholics. Follow
ing the services books were distribu-
ted. containing the answers to 500 ques-
tons that have been asked through the
question box during the time that Rev.
Healey has been delivering these lee
lures.
The text was taken from Matthew
1926. What shall it profit a man if
he gain the whole world and lose
his own soul?" Father Healey
said that even though thousands pro-
Tess christianity. large percentage
are in reality selling their souls for
less than the 80 pieces of silver. Men
are absorbed in the present; they think
only of this world. not of the future.
/ In the street. the club. and even in the
home. the whole conversation is large
" devoted to- business, politics and
pleasure: seldom. if ever, to religion.
Ignore First Comma ndment.
Too many men are attempting to
keep the second commandment, with
out keeping the first said Father
Healey. The man is deceived who
thinks that all that is required of him
is that he live as a good. honest, up
right and industrious citizen. He may
gain the love of his fellowmen. but it
will profit him nothing unless he has
gained the love of God" The keynote
of the evenings address was that imam

Church Little Known.
Speaking of his work of lecturing to
non-Catholic audience. DR.. Healy says.
The Catholic church is by far the
oldest and the largest of all Christian
bodies, yet she is little known, by even
the most intelligent, outside the fold
ignorance of her teaching and prac-
tice. of her claims and the proofs
thereof. is today her greatest obstacle.
We fear prejudice no more, for the
American people are truth-ioying
people. and fair-minded. Only let the
Catholic church be known as she real
~ is in fact and not as she exists
in the fancies and imaginations of men
and she is loved. her cause is won.
This is her desire; TO be known: TO
make her known. We have nothing
TO fear The church can bear with the
profoundest intellectual inquiry, can
stand the severest test of modern
progress: she can brave the prosecu-
ton of the powerful. she can face
scoffings of the reviler and the cavill-
ings of the insincere. All that she
asks, and all that We ask. in her name,
is to know. and TO be known.
Our purpose is TO give AT first hand
a statement of Catholic doctrine. TO
explain our beliefs and show as best
we may. a reason for the faith that is
in us.
Doctrine Misunder~tOOd.
Most of the opposition to the Cath
ole church derives its life from
strength from a misunderstanding OF
her doctrines. Though she has been
before the world for many ages;
though she has taught clearly and
openly, yet there are multitudes who
do not know her. multiudeS even who
honestly attribute TO her teachings
as much opposed to her real spirit and
faith as darkness is TO light. Out OF
love, therefore. for our holy church
and her sacred teachings, out of de-
sire TO win for her the esteem and love
of these honest. upright souls, by re-
moving their misapprehensions and en-
abling them to see her in a true llSht,
we have gladly come among you 10
speak of her and in her name.
The subject for tonight is: "Belief

RIVER HOLDS DOWN
THE freight RATES
Millions Of Dollars Saved Each Year in
Oifferentials, Statistics
Show.

AT a time when the competition be-
tween the railroad and steamboat lines
is keener than ever, experts are still
pointing to the facb that freight rates
to shippers have been materially low
cred by reason of this rivalry. Stats
tics show that millions of dollars are
saved each year on differential rates to
cities in line with regular steamboat
traffic. 1t must also be borne in mind
without the improvement of the river
navigation this saving could not be eff
fected, for low water would have sus-
pended all these rates.
No ferry business included. millions
of people are transported each year
by the steamboat companies, number
which was small indeed in the days
when the first steamboats, ran upon the
waterways. II is said that the first
steamboat ever built on the banks of
the Mississippi was the 10 Daviess,
launched at Galena. Ill, in 1884. She
was owned by Capt ID. Smith Harris,
and his brother. Capt. r. Scribe Harris
ran the boat for a time.
The steamboat, ST. Louis Oak. was
the next to be built for the upper
river and for time these were the
only two boats in the trade above the
mouth of the Ohio river. A steamer
called the Virginia ran from Pittsburg
to points north for time, and it is
stated that the first boat ever landed
at "Old New York" now Clinton, was
the Virginia. The first trip this boat
made, says the Clinton Herald. was in
June. 1923, having on board supplies
for the government arsenal at Fort
Smelling. The boat was accorded
hearty welcome on its initial trip up
the river, passing at the time the for
est sites of now fiourishing cities.
In 1887 the steamboat SmeIter ran
between Galena and southern points,
bringing supplies To the hardy group
Sf settlers at the town site of Lyons.
The early settlers remember the first
regular trip of this boat.
The Minnesota Packet company was
the first company organized to run
regular line of steamboats, on the upper
Mississippi. and after many changes 1t
was merged into the keokuk. North
ern Line Packet company. In those
days the fleet keeled steamers set the
pace for rapid transportation which is
not equaled at the present era of boat
building. J. l.. Carver, an old river en-
s.neer of st. Louis. has the record of
a run from St. Paul TO ST Louis in two
days. 30 hours and IL minutes. Capt.
Haight was in command and Charlie
Manning and Bill Woods pilots. So
far as known the early record in the
beginning Of the sos has never been
surpassed.

How a YOnng Woman Of His Parish
Was Cured of Consumption by
Father Johns Medicine.

Writing from LaFargeYille, n. ",
Rev. Fr. Joseph Ponsur. of ST Joseph 5
Parish, said "One OF my parishioners.
almost Respondent of ever getting cured,
given up BY the doctors as a consump-
tive, upon my firm advice is using Father
Johns Medicine and since has been con-
stantly improving to the great Joy OF her
parents and friends.
Again, four months later, Rev Fr.
Pontur writes: The young woman re-
ferred to in my former letter, who was
given up by all the doctors as a con-
sumptive. continues TO improve wonder
fully by using Father Johns Medicine.
Remember Father Johns Medicine IS
not patent medicine. but the prescrp-

scribed it for the late Rev. Father John
O. Brien, by whom il was recommended
and from whom it derived its name. II

1.-THE JEWEL OF ASIA"
Finds Favorable Setting At The
Colonial Theatre Another
Musical Comedy
SUCCESS.

Manager Hollebaugh presented al
the Colonial Theatre last night 1.-THE
Jewel of Asia, a sprightly musical
comedy. by Frederick Rankin, must
cal score by Ludwig Highlander.
The theatre was filed and 1.-THE
Jewel of Asia apparently found q
gilt edge setting here. This musica
comedy is not unlike others seen here
this winter Ii abounds in fun and
pleased the audience last night. keep.
ing them in a good humor throughout
the performance. Paris and Turkey
in Asia are the localities represented
IN this musical comedy, which is in
two acts.
In the first a pascha is in France
with his twelve wives. and one of
them, called in fancy. 1.-The Jewel
of Asia, elopes with her lover. II
happens that a young French artist
who combines his profession with
waiting in q cafe has painted a pic
ture, also called 1.-THE Jewel of Asia, -
and when this turns up missing the
complications begin. The girl and the
nicture are hunted by the wrong per-
sons, and the situations are amusing.
An added dilemma is caused when the
artistsattires himself in Turkish suit
which has been left in his studio. 1t
is the insignia of title worn by miss
ing prince, and the artist, Pierre, is
hustled off TO Turkey, where hundred
wives await him.
All the other characters get there,
TOO, and finally, after many side-split-
ting situations, much humorous dia.
logue, etc., the tangles are straight
ened out in pleasing style. AS the
prima donna of the cast Miss Vera
Michelena found favor with the au-
dience. She is 1.-the and graceful and
sings we'll. She has a most attractive
stage presence and her manner is
easy and natural. Sharing the honors
with Miss Michelena was Mr.. Edgar
Bixley, clever comedian, who kept
the audience laughing throughout
the wo acts of the performance. Mr..
Harry Short-short in name only-is a
grotesque character. He takes the
part of Sergeant Lafitte, the only sur
viving member of Napoleon's Old
Guard. He is very funny and his song
and dance in the second act is one OF
the best things in the whole show.
Other characters are minor ones. The
stage settings are very attractive. The
music is good and the costumes are
handsome, especially the gowns of fur.
The production was good one and
a credit to the management.

The People S College

Dir. Johns ID. Parker. of New Haven,
Conn, is the originator of a plan
which has for its object more general
dissemination Of knowledge, heretofore
confined almost exclusively to the pro-
fessional classes The plan includes
the construction in each county of a
suitable building TO serve as a nucleus
for lectures TO be delivered therein by
competent persons at stated intervals.
The.plan provides for County Societies,
or Clubs, for the cultivation of the Sci
ences of Arts.
DR.. Parker takes the ground that the
general diffusion of knowledge. es-
pecially among the laboring people, is
worthy of the attention of all In this
connection we may state that on the
general intelligence of our people de-
ponds the perpetuity of our institu-
tions; Ignorance is the last and ded-
Hest foe of mankind The plan of
DIR. Parker is worthy of considers ton
by all who have the highest welfare
of our country in view.--Branford
