VIRGIN MARY AS
CHI ISTIAN IDEAL

Father O'Keefe's subject at the mission
for non-Catholics in the Cathedral last
night was do Catholics Worship the vir-
gin Mary" He said:

young mother with her newborn child
the vivid reality Of the incarnation-is the
Christian ideal. How wise is the Roman
Church which ever keeps before US tho
central fact OF incarnation No one can
love an abstract thing. We realize that
the child is flesh OF our flesh and bone OK
our bone. We look to woman to keep aloft
the standard OF morality. When she sins,
being naturally virtuous. she sins doubly-
against nature and against the law. How
that vision of the virgin has affected NOR
ality and elevated human thought The
union OF human and divine love-streams
OF affection-all meet in one in the heart
OF this woman. A marvellous truth. May
that vision never perish from our lives

moon under her feet and upon her head a

Not the least work Of the Paulist mis-
sionaries at the Cathedral this week was
a four-days' mission given for the bene-

we're given the children morning and af-

SAY LAD WAS
WELL TREATED

Mr.. and Mrs. John Keegan Of Ellzton,
Nd. with whom Edward Murphy. the
1i-year-old boy who ran away and
walked to this city on Wednesday,
made his home. came to wilmington
last evening and had a conference
with Humane Agent Frank Stout

Keogan brought a large satchel filled
with clothing belonging 70 the boy and
also 81 IN money. Mr. Keegan also
produced a bank book In young
Murphy's name with 81 TO his credit.
Mr. Keegan had opened the account
for the boy IN an EllSton bank.
MIR. Keegan said he had done all in
his power for the boy. and said he had
not been abused as the lad had told
the police. 1t appears from Mr.
Keegan's story that the boy possesses
a bad temper. Early this week Mr..
Seegan on reaching home from a trip
outside Of EiSton. found the boy In the
kitchen with Mrs. Keegan standing in
n corner and the boy threatening to
blow off her head. Mr. keegan said
he struck the boy across the legs sew
eral times with a whip. but did not
hurt him as the lad had on heavy
cloth top boots.
Murphy. Il was learned to-day had
several homes In Ellyton and at one
time was taken IN by the pastor OF the
Catholic Church there, but became so
bad that the priest had to let him
go.
Mr. and Mrs. Keegan took back 10
Tlkton the collie dog which had fol-
lowed Murphy to this city.

more district which includes Delaware.
Maryland and the district OF Columbia.

The gifts which Mr.. Goldsborough has
begun distributing are the blanks which,
under the law, all the corporations are
compelled to make certain returns re-
garding their capitalization, business, etc.
on the information thus collected will be
based the tax assessed upon each corpor-
alton under the corporation tax law
passed by Congress at its last session.
The Collector says there has been a
great deal Of exaggeration on all sides az
to the amount Of information that the
Government required, and in support OF
his statement showed samples OF the
blank forms that are being distributed
on nine OF these are more than eleven
qpestions asked. and all these we're
merely to accurately determine the basis
for taxation, which is the net income

There has been q disposition" con-
tinued Mr.. Goidsborough, among come
firms, especially those doing business IN
Delaware, whittier the liberal incorpo-
ration laws draw many firms, to refuse
to tell us just where the home office is.
Such firms are merely doing themselves
an injury. for the law does not require
that we send out these blanks. we do so
merely as matter OF courtesy and to
facilitate the collection Of the tax. So
hrms that refuse to receive the blanks are
merely laying themselves open to the PEN
