wv YlIH an enthusiasm born of
M deep rooted conviction and a
Wv sincerity of purpose hallowed
by saddened memories, the Irish
of San Francisco marked their celebra-
tion of St. Patrick's day by a renewal
of their vows of nationality at a mass
meeting held in the Auditorium yes
terday afternoon.
More than 1000 persons were present
and from the moment of the opening
strains of the orchestra playing the
Irish melodies to the concluding dances
the crowd swayed back and forth.
stirred to shouts by the ringing ad-
dress of Rev. Peter C. Yorke. moved to
laughter by some lifting Irish refrain
or softened to silence by the tender
pathos of the old songs.
1t was a meeting surcharged with
sentiment, uplifted by the nobility Of
its cause. Father Yorke's address, the
chief feature of the program, dealt
with Irish conditions and Irish affairs.

Like Mighty Choir

The Irish race" said he, scattered
beyond the confines of it's native
shores to the far corners of the earth,
is today like mighty choir lifting
up its voice in one great hymn of
praise From east and west, north and
south, the grand chorus is lifted on
this St Patrick's day 1t is no empty
observance, no vain ceremony. 1t is a
renewal of the vows of nationality, the
undiminished purpose which has up
held the race through the age long
war of seven centuries, the undying
effort to save its name from being
blotted from off the muster roll of the
nations. DEPRIVED of learning and
land and all that went to make ma
tion, it has succeeded in maintaining
its characteristics and individualities
unbroken, unbeaten. unconquerable
striving ever to that day when they or
their children shall catch glimpse of
the waters of freedom.
Sometimes one is asked why we
should call ourselves a nation. We
have no armies by land, no navy by
sea, nothing which goes to stamp a
nation as such. The answer is given
on St Patrick's day in the sentiment of
the Irish and their wonderful success
in maintaining, through all these
years, the rights and characteristics
of a nation. The day brings back to
us the great achievements of st. Pat
rick. It brings US to a realization of
the benefits he bestowed on the race
by gathering it into the folds of the
Roman church 1t recalls to us that
when Europe was a barren waste
when It's affairs had been deserted, it
remained for the Irish missionaries to
travel forth and rekindle the fires at
