Priest Denounces Halloween vandal
ism.-Rev. M ] Riordan, pastor ofSt Charles
Church. Pikesville, preached last Sunday on
1.-The Gospel of the Day" In the course Of
his remarks he spoke of the Halloween depre-
dations and said, in part:
ut is time to call halt upon the Halloween
depredations perpetrated annually in Balti-
more county. They cannot be dismissed by
calling them boyish pranks or by appealing
to our sense of pleasantly. They are not
ebullitions of youthful fun, but grave infrac-
tons of the moral and civil law and gross
outrage upon refined feelings. Apart from the
misuse of and damage to property they are q
rude and stupid form of horse-p play. They are
contrary to the law of Christ which requires us
to treat others as we wish to be treated, and the
man does not live who likes to be the victim
of practical jokes.
"The Halloween escapades in Baltimore
county have passed the limits of practical jok-
ing. They have assumed the form Of rowdy-
ism and vandalism. Men and boys otherwise
lawabiding become for one entire night veri-
table hoodlums. The ancestral savage breaks
through the wholesome restraints of reason
and religion and ruthlessly tramples upon the
gentle instincts of inoffensive neighbors."
