Rev. Thomas Ewin Sherman. son of
General w. r. Sherman, i'll respond
ing to a toast at a Knights of Column

one notable example of the great
progress being made by the Knights
of Columbus was the institution last
month at Vancouver, II. c., OF Il big
Council the first in the province. Over
so candidates were initiated. The de-
gree work was put on under the direc-
ton of District Deputy James H. Kane
of Seattle. and was well carried out.
1t was witnessed by large delegations
of knights from Seattle, Tacoma.
Everett and Rellingham, Wash. The
new Vancouver Council was recently
organized by Bro. +. J. German of
Seattle.
NJ. j. Mccarthy of Veragua Council,
Salem. Mass. has the following timely
letter in the last issue of the Column
bad: Il notice that Sour order is
growing all over the country and eX-
tending to even the Philippines, but
as yet | have not heard Of any Council
being established in Ireland. Surely
she is deserving of as much recogni-
ton as any other part Of the world,
because the great majority of our
members in this country have come
from Irish stock. Now that there is
going to be an exhibition in Dublin in
1907. why would it not be a good and
a wise thing to make an effort to es-
tablish one or two Councils in that
city, so that if a Knight should visit
the fair, as assuredly a. great many
will, they could feel that they We're
not strangers in q strange land? l
am certain that Irishmen in Ireland
would be only too glad to extend the
hand of fellowship to members Of the
Order from this side Of the water"
The suggestion Of Mr. Mccarthy is an
excellent one and deserves attention.
