ELECTED
MEMBER Of HOLY
NAME ASSOCIATION
Methodist Clergyman Speaker
at Banquet of Catholic So
ciety in East Orange.

Prominent members of the judiciary
and the Rev. DR.. Fred Glare Baldwin
pastor of the Calvary M. e. Church,
last night attended the first annual
dinner of the Holy Name Society of
Our Lady Help of Christians Church,
East Orange, at Euglish's. and before
its conclusion DR.. Baldwin was elected
an honorary member,
Martin Conboy was POSTMASTER. The
speakers elaborated on the principles OF
the society and the good accomplished.
The affair was more successful even
thar was anticipated, 1t will be re-
peated yearly, the REV. John F. QMal-
ley. moderator. announced.
The Rev. John p. Callaghan vas the
first speaker introduced and he referred
happily to the fact that individualism
and selfishuess were gradually being
placed in the background and the parti-
cipation of honorary members in the
person of those of a different faith al
the banquet aueured we'll for the future.
Gradually East Orange is becoming
through it all. said Father C~allaghau,
concluding his remarks. what it was
destined TO he of all municipalities
hereahouts-"The Spotless Town"
Rev. Dr. Baldwin Impressed.
Or. Baldwin declared it a signal
honor to be a guest at the dinner and
that he was profoundly impressed with
wha. he had seen and heard. Were ne
10 be asked 20 write a subsidiary creed,
he would .rrt out 18th the first duty
of man to be a man in name and after
the pattern of the divine mind.
1T has often been said we have no
sristocraey in our land continued DR..
Baldwin; but no nation can exist
without it. go we see it here and there
as we Loo. about. Boston refers to it
as the aristocracy of brains. In the.
West it is the aristocracy of get there
and l say get there to you.
but there is a little danger in the
aristocracy of push, and let me reecho
the sentiment expressed here that il
makes all the difference I'm h world
where you get and how you get there
LIZ I understand correctly the spirit of
the Holy Name Society, it is not 10
creep there. but soar there.
The universal aristocracy of the
country is to be the aristocracy of
Christian charity. 1t is the spirit of all
churches and good societies TO make
one denlarcation between men-the good
and bad. tho sincere and hypocritical.
DR.. Baldwin said he knew of no body
Of men working as hard as the Chris
tian ministers today in securing the
betterment of men and women. He
also pointed out the possibility of
humor being disseminated without OBJ
scenity, and took as an example of this,
in praising Holy Name men for their
stand for morality, the stories of Lin
coin. DIR. Baldwin was cheered for
more than a minute at the. conclusion
of his address. q
The Rev. Father NJ, P. Corcoran, Of
this city. spoke of the good accom-
plished by tse Diocesan Federation.
and spoke of the dissemination of
Catholic literature. He also referred to
politics as follows:
We permit no partisan politics in
the Diocesan Federation, and just as
scon as a Holy Name member attempts
10 make use of the fact he is a Holy
Name man in soliciting votes just so
zoon that mar ceases to be a member
Of the Holy Name Society.
Politics and the Diocesan Federation
-.
are the bitterest enemies that a be
imagined. Cast aside the man who
seeks to inject politics; let him burn
with the chaff. Good citizens we want
and good citizens we demand. And a
man cannot be a good citizen or patriot
unless he be a God-loving and God
fearing man."
Judge Thomas A. Davis spoke on
Holy Name Ideal" The Rev. Bernard
NJ. Began, of Railway, n Edward
Sweeney, of Bayonne. also spoke.

Brennan. Undersherim Charles NJ.

son, former Police CHIEF James Bell
