SILVER JUBILEE.
Father }. n. ttlIIebrandf Has
Completed Twenty-Five
Years.

Rev. Father John H. Hillebrand
will celebrate his silver sacerdotal
jubilee at $3.50 o'clock on the morn
ing of Thursday, June 20, in st.
Boniface church, Evansville. Several
Louisville friends have received in
vitations to attend the silver jubilee.
The members of Father Hillebrand's s
congregation have left nothing un-
done to make the celebration an
event long TO be remembered.
Father Hillebrand is only a
Hoosier by adoption. He often visits
his old Kentucky home and is as
much persona grata among Irish
Americans as he is among German
Americans. His preliminary studies
for the priesthood were made at
Bardstown, KY, and he completed
his course in Indiana and Canada.
He was ordained at Ferdinand, Ind,
on June 10, 1886, by the Right Rev.
Bishop Francis Silas Ch@ard.
Father Hillebrand acted as pastor
of several rural missions in Southern
Indiana and later was given charge
of the thriving parish of st. Mary's
Of the Knobs. While there he made
many friends in Floyd and Clark
counties and renewed old acquaint-
ances In Louisville. A number OF
his friends from the Falls cities will
go to Evansville to attend the
jubilee exercises.

PLANS PRAISED.
Father McE<epna tnvokes
Blessing on Proposed
Congress.

The Holy Name Journal. a
monthly publication conducted by
the Jesuits, in its May number gives
the expressions OF many eminent
ecclesiastics in favor of Holy Name
Congress. The sentiment in favor Of
such a congress has been growing
for five years. Among those quoted
is the venerable and Very Rev.
Father Charles H. McKenna, o. P,
well known in louisville as former
pastor of st. Louis Bertrand church,
and one of the most eloquent mem
bers of the Order OF Friars Preach
ers. Among other things Father
McKenna says:
"May God bless the Holy Name
Congress. May It be convened not
because other congresses are held,
but that it may result in infusing
new life into every Holy Name So
ciety throughout the country. May It
be call to arms in which all the
Catholic men of America will enlist
under the standard of the Holy
Name to fight the irreligious spirit
Of our day, to destroy the revolt Of
Socialism against authority. May
the Holy Name Congress bring a
special blessing of God on the men
and on the church of America"

SUPREME OFFICERS
OF c. X. of a. Received With
Genuine kentucky
welcome.

Louisville was honored last Sun
day by a visit from DR.. Felix Gaudin,
of New Orleans, Supreme President,
and Capt. Michael Quinn, of Brook
lyn, N. Y, Supreme Trustee of the
Catholic knights of America. Both
officials were en- route home after
attending a meeting of the Supreme
Council at StALouis. The intimation
of the visit of these officials came
at such late date that local officials
of the order had no opportunity to
call general meeting of the
branches, nevertheless the visitors
were given taste Of Kentucky hos
pitality.
They we're met at the railroad sta
ton by a committee from the Cen
tral Committee composed of Eugene
Mccarthy, Major Gen. Michael
Reichert, State Secretary William T.
Meehan, Col. Joseph P. McGinn,
Charles Hill and William NJ. Higgins.
The party were taken to st. Mary's
church to attend mass. The visitors
and their hosts saw large class of
little children receive first holy COM
munion and heard the feeling SER
mon of Father Westermann. After
mass the party was conveyed to Col.
McGinn's residence, at Center and
Chestnut streets, where breakfast
was served. Various duties occupied
the several members until noon,
when they assembled at Jacob Goby's
on Main street, near Third, for
luncheon, and Mr.. CODY proved de-
lightful host
Meanwhile the party was Joined by
John Schalda, Charles Falk, John
Hodapp, L. ]. Kadeski, Harry Veene-
man and John j. Crotty. Automo-
biles loaned by Bernard M. Hackett
and Charles Klapheke were in at
tendance and in a trice the party
were being whirled over the streets.
The Catholic cemeteries, the parks
and boulevards all got their share of
attention. AS the sun began to
sink low in the west the automobiles
were directed toward Sixth and
Walnut streets. where Henry Hunold,
a staunch member of the order, had
prepared banquet. Perhaps it
might be better to say that Mrs.
Hunold prepared the banquet and
Mr.. Hunold recommended it. All
the guests enjoyed the feast set be-
fore them and the music by Misses
Minnie and Marie Hunold.
The post-prandial remarks were
entirely informal. Capt Quinn ex-
pressed his appreciation of-Kentuclzy
hospitality. Eugene Mccarthy,
Chairman of the Central Committee,
told what pleasure it was to enter
tain the Supreme officers. Col. Nc
CHM, John j. Crotty, Major Gen.
Reichert, DR.. Gaudin, Harry Veene-
man, John Schalda, Charles Falk,
L. ]. Kadeski, Charles Klapheke.
John Hodapp and others made brief
but appropriate talks.

PRIOR GOES.
Very Rev. Father Clark VIII
Assume Duties I'm
Ohio.

The Very Rev. Father ]. R.
Clark, o. p, Prior of st. Louis Ber-
trand church, will soon leave Louis
Vile to assume the office of novice
master at st. Joseph's College, Som
erset, Ohio. Father Clark has just
closed three-year term as Prior of
st. Louis Bertrand's, but has been
connected with that church during
the past seven years. He is full of
zeal and energy and much of the
success of the bazar just closed was
due to his executive ability. His
congregation here are loath to part
with him.
Fafner Clark Is native of Nelson
county and is in thorough sympathy
with the people of this State. Dur
ing his regime as Prior Father Clark
has done much toward building up
the Holy Name Society, has estab-
lished a confraternlTy of the Blessed
Sacrament whose members practice
the devotion of the Holy Hour every
thursday night, and has done much
for the upbuilding of the parochial
school.

OPPOSES DIVORCE.
The Baptist Organ Makes
Plea For Cleaner
Lives.

The Western Recorder. one OF the
leading Baptist publications in the
United States, has taken stan1
against divorce. 1t is the stand that
Baptists might have .profltably taken
years ago, and yet the Western
Recorder admits that divorce is oc-
casionally admissible. The Western
Recorder editorial of Thursday, May
25, says:
According to the census reports,
more than a million divorces have
been granted in this country in the
last twenty years. In the past ten
years there has been one divorce FOR
every ten marriages. Should the
number of divorces increase in the
next few decades, in the same ratio
1t has for the past ten years, it will
equal the marriages.
While it is true that there are
cases in which divorce is entirely
iustifiable, there can be little doubt
but that in the great majority Of
cases it is without excuse or
apology. The wanton and reckless
disregard of marriage vows not only
reveals a deplorable lack of truth
and sincerity, but betokens, II posi-
BILE, even a worse state of affairs in
coming years.
The citadel of a nation is the
home, and the deadliest foe to the
home us the divorce court. The
present greatness of our nation has
been achieved through the peace and
purity of it's homes. Whatever
therefore threatens The purity and
perpetuity of our homes is to be
dreaded more than death and
summed more than dishonor.
Certainly, we confront in this
question a serious problem, and one
which calls for speedy and drastic
treatment. 1t would seem that a
uniform divorce law, rigidly en-
forced, is the first and most needed
measure of relief. Added to this
there should be a campaign OF edu-
cation, in which our young people
should be taught the solemnity and
responsibility of marriage. Let
those who are to be Joined in the
holy bonds of matrimony be made to
feel that their lives are one "till
death us do part" Let no one ap-
proach the marriage altar without
serious thought and earnest prayer,
then shall it come to pass that mar
riages, which are made in heaven,
shall not be broken on EARTH 1t
would be timely also for those who
have, or are contemplating separa-
ton, to picture to themselves the
bankrupt home, the half-orphaned
children, and the bitter but unavail-
ing regret.

Latest Reports Show Cath
oIiC knights In Front
Rank.

DR.. Felix Gaudin, Supreme Presi-
dent of the Catholic Knights or
America, and Capt. Michael Quinn,
of Brooklyn, N. Y, member of the
Supreme Board of Trustees, spent
Sunday in Louisville. DR.. GauGin
was en- route to his home in New
Orleans, and Capt. Quinn to Brook
lyn. Both are we'll known to local
Catholic knights. They were re-
turning from st. Louis, where they
had attended a meeting of the Su-
preme Board. Both OF them talked
freely to a representative of the
Kentucky Irish American concerning
the affairs of the order.
All reports submitted to the SUI
preme Board showed that the Cath
olic knights of America were now
in better shape than ever. Not only
Is the financial standing excellent,
but the membership is constantly In
creasing. Its present rates place II
at the head of all fraternal organi-
cations. All the insurance commits
sioners in the various States recog-
nize this as a fact. No insurance
organization in the United States,
fraternal or old line, is safer. No
fraternal organization in the country
could suspend today and pay It's
members as much pro rata as the
c. X. of A.
In view of all these facts 1t is sur-
prising that Catholic men join fra
ternal societies that are not only
non-Catholic but often dangerously
near the point Of antagonism to the
faith

ing when the distinguished visitors
took their departure. Gov. and Mrs.
Wilson we're among the last to
leave, and as they said farewell the
Abbot raised his hand and gave them
his blessing. IL was a great day for
the Governor and his wife, a great
day for the monks and great day
for Kentucky. This lesson in relig-
lous tolerance ought to be wide
spreading and everlasting.
