Diogenes was ridiculed, Telemachus
murdered with the sword, stephen

BELIEVE GOLDEN AGE
YET TO BE REALIZED
Minister of Los Angeles Organization
Explains Position of His Greed
and Its Beliefs in General
Welfare

Reynold e. Blight, minister of the
Los Angeles Fellowship. spoke at
Blanchard hall yesterday on The Fell
lowship Social Program He said:
I'm all times man has dreamed of
a golden age If he was a pessimist,
he spoke of it as an age in the dim
and misty past If he was an optimist,
he painted it in glowing colors as an
age yet to be realized. The Fellow
shipper is an optimist of optimists and
believes that the age of gold is yet
to come. In fact, so strong is his
faith in the inherent goodness of
things and so firm his belief i'm the
triumph of righteousness, that he be-
lieves that golden age is drawing
The Fellowshiper is not a wild-eyed
reVolutionist, but he is an evolutionist,
and believes we are gradually APP
preaching the golden age through an
orderly progression of events. He can
not conceive of chaos and chance, but
is convinced there is a divine pur-
pose, ripening every hour, and all the
tendencies and movements of the
times contribute to the fulfillment OF
the divine will. He is therefore an
opportunist, and believes the cause
of progress is best served by taking
the next step.
ITO this end the Fellowship believes
in the individual conservation to the
general welfare, and the practice of
patient and persistent unselfshness in
domestic life.
Education Should Develop Mind
Education should be the develop
ment of character through the appeal
to the soul. Social equality must take
the place of our present absurd class
divisions and social castles. The unfor-
tunate and delinquent should be min
istered unto nationally and kindly.
civil and criminal law and pro-
cedure must be reorganized to con-
form to principles of fraternity. Insti-
tutionalized immortality, such as the
saloon. must be abolished. The land.
the ultimate source of human susten-
ance and all natural resources, must
be utilized for the benefit of the whole
people, and not for the interest of a
favored few. Economic cooperation
must take the place of the present cut
democracy must be realized World
wide peace must be cultivated by
peaceful methods and inter-racial
brotherhood fostered. Cosmic con-
seriousness and universal sympathy
must bind the whole sentient world
in a bond of affection. Beauty. the
harmonious development and express
sion of the individual and social life,
must be the aim of all endeavor.
1.-THE golden age Is the age of peace,
art, Justice, equality and fraternity,
the enthronement of righteousness,
and can be realized whenever we are
ready to live like brothers: and are

AT Muscatine, by the late adop-
ton OF a plan by the board of educa-
ton. $500 a year which has formerly
gone to the book dealers for the
handling of text books will be saved.
The board proposed to handle the
books themselves. This policy was
not adopted by choice, but was made
imperative because the dealers de-
manded an increased commission for
selling them. Hitherto the dealers
have been satisfied with 10 per cent,
but they recently asked that the COM
mission be increased, as 1t was not
profitable to handle the books at that
figure. The board therefore raised
the price Is per cent, but even that
was not sufficient and with the re-
fusal of the dealers to take the sale,
the board in regular monthly session
recently practically decided to go in
to the business. 1t is now planned
that each principal will be the dealer
in his building and the department
will be conducted just as store, the
teacher being neld responsible for the
payment of all books charged to him.

Is One Of the Few lrremovsble Pastor.
ates in the Diocese and Ap-
pointment is Slow
One.
EXAMINATION REQUIRED
But Few Priests Arc Eligible and They
Must Stand Examination on
Theological Sub
jeets.

While, it has been but a week since
the passing of Rev. Thomas O'Reilly,
pastor of st. Peters Catholic church.
yet attention will soon be turned to
the appointment of new pastor to
succeed him. Various circumstances
are involved in the appointment, how
ever, which will tend to delay it for
some time.
Through the magnificent work of
the late pastor and his untiring eff
forts st. Peters has high standing
In the diocese and is one of the few
irremovable pastorates. This fact
brings forth many complications in an
appointment.
In the first place those eligible for
the pastorate must pass an exami-
nation along theological line. This
examination is not the determining
factor, but is a guide to the appoint
ment. A priest may pass the theolog-
zeal examination with high honors
and yet may have personal disqual-
ifications which would cast disfavor
upon his appointment.
Again. priest must have been a
member of the priesthood for at least
ten years. this being a qualification
which excludes many of the younger
priests from the important charges.
In an appointment of this kind con-
siderable time Is consumed by the
bishop, as there is always various
qualifications to weigh before the ap-
pointment is made.
The appointment will be made by
I.Rt Rev. Bishop Davis of the Daven-
port diocese and with it will go the
! title and Office of Dean of the Keo-
.kuk Deanery, which Office Father
O'Reilly held since It's institution. The
Office of dean is quite an important
one as he is the authority in matters
/ pertaining to the church in the dean
cry. Meetings of the deanery are
held twice every year and matters
pertaining to the church are discuss
ed.
In the diocese of Davenport there
are about 135 priests. OF this mum
Der possibly not more than fifty are
eligible to fill the vacancy left by the
death of Father O'Reilly. OF this fifty
there are possibly twenty-five who are
well satisfied with the parishes they
have at the present time, leaving the
coterie of priests left, numbering
about twenty-five.
At the present time Father P
/ O'Reilly, who has been assistant, is
in charge of the parish and is hand
ling affairs in a capable manner
4 School has again started and matters
are running smoothly. although the
late pastor is greatly missed. Rt
Rev. Bishop Carroll departed for his
home in Helena, Mont, last evening
/ after having been in the city to at
tend the funeral.
