FRANKLIN STREET CHURCH
WIPES OUT $1,000 DEBT.

The congregation of the Franklin
Street M. E. Church have opened the
fall term under the most encouraging
auspices, as d debt of $4,000, which
represented an expenditure for re-
modelling the church two years ago,
has been wiped out. leaving the de-
nomination in a most prosperous on
dition.
Most of the credit for this result be-
longs to the Epworth League of the
church, as the society, through per-
sonal effort and the holding of enter
tainments and excursions, was en-
abled to wipe out the obligation. To
morrow the pastor, the Rev. Melville
Y. Bovard, at the evening service, will
deliver his fourth sermon Of a series
from the text, Create for Me a Clean
Heart, o God"
His theme will be, Some People and
What They Say" Special music will
be rendered by the choir.

fault lies with the church boards who

MEMORIAL STATUE
IS UNVEILED IN
PRIESTS HONOR
Survivors of Irish Brigade Vene.
rate Memory of Father
COrby at Gettysburg.

GETTYSBURG, Pa, Oct. 2s.-In the
presence of several thousand survivors
and friends of the Irish Brigade, which
participated In the battle of Gettys-
burg, the memorial statue to their
chaplain, the Rev. Father William
Corby, was today unveiled and dedi-
Gated with appropriate ceremonies.
The memorial statue, a bronze figure
of the priest in the act of ~pronouncing
absolution to the entire brigade, both
Roman Catholic and Protestant, stands
on the very rock on which the priest
stood when, a few moments before one
of the most crucial charges of the fight
was to be made, he performed the re-
ligious rite which has gone down in
the history of the battle of Gettysburg
as one of the most impressive incidents
of the three days battle.
The brigade had assembled for the
fray and, having a few moments before
the fight was to begin, Father Corby,
standing on the rock in front Of the
brigade, commanded the attention of
the men, saying that each one could
receive the benefit of the absolution by
performing a contrition In sincerity
and resolving to embrace the first OPP
portunity to confess his sins.
AbsolutiOn for Entire Brigade.
The brigade was standing at order
arms" AS he closed his address every
man, Catholic and non-Catholic, fell
on his knees, with his head bowed.
Then. stretching his right hand toward
the brigade. Father Corby pronounced
the words of absolution. A moment
later the charge vas on.
The ceremonies today we're without
any attempt at ostentation. Hundreds
of the survivors of the Irish Brigade
and other regiments who witnessed the
impressive incident gathered at the
monument and listened to addresses by
the Rev. Charles w. Lyons, president
of st. Joseph's College, Philadelphia,
and by Henry A. Daily, president OF
the Catholic Alumni Sodality, of Phila-
delphia, the latter turning over the
memorial to the National Park Com
mission. Miss Barnadette Daily pulled
the cord which released the United
States flag yelling the memorial. This
morning the visitors attended mass In
st. Francis Xavier Church.
