Bishop O'Connor made the opening
address. He said.
Members of the Holy Name socie-
ties, you have come together today
not merely to show to the world about
you your numbers and your enthusi-
asm In the cause, and to enter once
more our solemn protest against bias
phemy and evil speaking of every kind,
by marching under the banner of the
Holy Name. but also, as far as In you
lies the power, to promote reverence
for the name Of God, respect and love
for the Redeenier of the world and
faith in that fundamental doctrine of
our holy religion which more than ever
at the present day needs to be empha-
sized and clearly stated, viz, the d.
vinity of Jesus Christ, the Incarnate
Son of God, the Redeemer of mankind.
II is not enough for us to abstain from
those sins of the tongue which dishonor
Him, and only in a negative way TO
exert an influence on those about us
that will diminish, ii not entirely elm
mate, cursing, swearing, blasphemy
and foul speech. Our duty is positively
to promote, by word and example,
whenever and wherever opportunity
presents itself. those acts of religion
which all who acknowledge a Creator
and a Redeemer must cherish In their
hearts and practise as an acknowledge
ment Of their dependence on a higher
power that gave them being and life
and saved them from the slavery Of
sin and hell"
Bishop O'C.nnor then introduced
John l.. O'Toole, Of tie Holy Name
Society of St. Michaefs Church. this
city, who made an address for the
laity. He said in part:
There are today many problems OF
great moment, and which vitality affect
our material welfare, a~gitating the pub
lie mind. This is not the place nor Is 1t
my purpose to discuss any of these
from an economic point Of view. But
I wish to remark that all, or nearly
all, of these questions involve some
great moral principle. Their solution
depends upon the degree of Intelligence,
patriotism, honesty Of purpose and de-
votion to duty exercised by the cleo
torate. and the Holy Name Society,
although politics is foreign to its
objects M has no place In
its councils, is a potent agency
