OLD ST. PETERS
Washington Was Guest at Banquet
Following Laying Of Cornerstone.

New York.-The twenty sixth ami
versary of the conservation of st. Pet
ers Church, Barclay street, and the
completion of thirty years as pastor
of Monsignor James H. Mclean in
the same church were celebrated Sun
day, Nov. 10, with a Solemn High
Mass and a historical sermon by Mon
signor Mclean, and in the afternoon
Solemn Vespers were celebrated with
Monsignor Mclean reading the sacred
Office. Nearly fifty boys served as
acolytes. Rev. James E. Noonan was
the celebrant of the Solemn High Mass
with Rev. Joseph P. Dineen as deacon
and Rev. Dudley r. Tierney as sub
deacon. Monsignor Mclean was the
celebrant of Solemn Vespers. with
Rev. James Noonan as deacon, Rev. J.
p. Dineen as sub-deacon and Rev. d.
r. Tierney as master of ceremonies.
st. Peters Church is 1876 years old
The cornerstone was laid by the Span
ish Ambassador in 1895, and at the
banquet that followed that ceremony
George Washington was one of the
guests. The church was just a CEN
fury old when consecrated. 1t was
therefore fitting that the sermon
should deal with the historical incl
dents surrounding the establishment
of the first Catholic church in New
York City. Monsignor Mclean said
that the school established by St
Peters antedated the present public
school system. He recounted the
troubles caused by tho early financial
system in vogue, where the lay truss
tees plunged the church into debt, this
system of management being supplant-
ed by the present corporate organiza
ton. He told how Felix Ingoldsby, ir
order to get the church out of the
complex troubles that developed under
the trustee system, bought the church
himself and turned it over to Arch.
bishop Hughes.

to laugh at such an absurd society.
But it was no laughing matter in
those days.
That society progressed so rapidly
that it actually became a national
party. BY 1855 there were seventy
five Know Nothing members elected
as such) in the thirtytifth congress.
And in 1855 the party felt strong
enough to run Willard Fillmore for
president.
Odd to say, Catholic Maryland was
| the only state carried by him.
The worst part of the movement was
that it did not confine itself to the
polls but expressed it's hatred as well
by the torch and the gun.

sense of duty, and the instinct Of

"The people of the South were
builders of homes, such homes az this
world will never see again. An old
Southern plantation with quarters
down back of the big house. where
immortal BLACK Nanny was mis-
tress Of all she saw; and who that
ever saw her can forget her? In
those Southern homes the wives
were mothers and the mothers were
queens. Fathers and husbands were
honored and loved as princes of their
own sacred affairs. Seldom was a
court asked to grant divorce, and
when it was 1t was not considered
little or light affair.
From out these sacred scenes
came our immortal hero to dazzle the
world with the brilliancy of his mill
tary exploits. The South made Lee
her trusted leader. She believed in
his ability and trusted his integrity.
Nor did he ever fail or disappoint
them. After following him through
fiery trials they greeted him as the
greatest chieftain of the English
speaking world. With a weak army
of upequalled numbers, he made
continent tremble under his trium-
plant tread, sweeping the. field Of his
flying foes. After fifty years the pen

every call of duty. In peace or war,

A GOOD EXERCISE.

A good exercise for the body is
stretching. When you first wake up
in the morning take a, good long
stretch. Stretch the hands as far out
sideways as possible. When you get
out of bed raise your arms over your
head and, standing on tiptoes, see
how near you can reach the ceiling.
Then walk about the room while in
this position. Stand on the right foot
and stretch the right arm forward and
upward as high as you can while at
the same time the left foot is raised
from the floor and the left hand is
stretched backward and downward.
This is fine exercise for the whole
body and is especially good and
strong. Standing on the left foot, this
exercise can be reversed. If you have
been sitting in the same position for
long time, reading, studying, writing
or sewing, and the muscles have be-
come tired and cramped, the best
thing to do is to get up and stretch.
Stretch the arms upward and outward
and forward and backward. Lift the
shoulders as high as you can and
drop them. Expand the chest and
breathe deeply. Or, sitting in the
chair, stretch the hands upward, lift
the feet from the floor, give the mus
cles a good, vigorous stretch. When
one is very tired there is nothing
more restful than stretching the mus
cles and then relaxing them.

so that it is absolutely secure, it is
time to become aggressive. The pol
icy of the present day is no longer
defensive policy, but an aggressive
policy. The methods of warfare now
are to carry Catholic truth out among
the throngs outside the Church who
know it not and explain it to them
thoroughly so they may become
charmed by it and so capture them.
This is the method of the missions
to Catholics. 1t was primarily
the policy of the Church. The apos-
ties were hidden to preach the gospel
to every creature. If they had con-
tented themselves, like the pagan phil
osophers, with sitting down in their
academic groves and deigning to en-
tighten those who would come seek
ing wisdom, the result would have
been what. the pagan philosophy is to-
day, memory or history. Instead
of that they assumed the aggressive;
they went out into the whole world;
they preached the gospel to every
creature, with the result that they
converted the world and established
Christian civilization.
The apostolic policy is the policy
that will win today. We are right; we
know that we are right, we can prove
that we are right, and with the con-
seriousness of our rightness the mis-
sionaries of the Catholic Church
should carry the glad tidings of great
joy out among the crowds of Ameri-
can people who really need Catholic
truth and who are hungering for the
truth that will save them.

ABOUT A BAD HABIT.

The United States navy is especial
ly exacting in it's requirements of
young candidates. It takes annually
into it's service a large number of
apprentice boys, who are sent all over
the world and taught to be thorough
sailors. The Government aims at de-
veloping them in all possible direc-
tons; believing, with reason, that the
more intelligent man becomes, the
better sailor ne will be, and that
youth is the most propitious season
for laying the foundations of good gen.
eral knowledge as we'll as of good
seamanship.
There is no lack of candidates for
these positions. Hundreds of boys ap-
ply, but many are rejected because
they cannot pass the physical examin-
alton. The officer in charge of the
Washington navy yard barracks is au-
thority for the statement that one
fifth of all the boys examined are re-
jected on account of heart disease.
The first question that he puts to a
boy who desires to enlist is sure to be,
do you smoker"
The surgeons declare that cigarette
smoking by boys invariably produces
heart disease; and that, in ninety
nine cases out of hundred the rejec-
ton of would-be apprentices on ac-
count of this defect comes from ex-
cessive use of the mil form of the
weed.

DOING YOUR BEST.

No better exercise for the mind and
soul can be found than exists in TAX
ing the simple incidents of an ordi-
nary day, and reaching out the chal-
lenge they hold for the individual to
whom they happen. It has been said
by great psychologist, strict man
of science, that the act of getting up
in the morning, cheerfully and on
time, especially when one does not
want to, is an exercise in strengthen
ing the will which has the greatest
psychological value. The breakfast
table may be made a time of family
reunion and pleasant beginning of the
day, or place of hurry and ill-temper.
The days work in home, school or Of
fee may be attacked punctually and
energetically, or with hardness and
fret, and so on. Every hour test
comes along, and the character goes
from victory to victory or from defeat
to defeat There is no luck about
character 1t is made by being and
doing ones best, by loving God every
hour, by serving ones fellows at every
turn; and the place where it is made
does not matter. All places are the
same to the soul that is doing it's best,
and not stopping to complain.
Such souls always find their road to
larger things. The story of the pair
of gloves repeats itself in all sorts
of forms. The old fairy tales are full
of the fairy godmother disguised as a
beggar woman by the roadside, of the
fairy prince in the garb of a scullion.
Opportunity masquerades today in the
same old fashion, and kindness and
honesty and cheerfulness and gener-
osity find their reward where they
never looked for any. When the day
tests man and finds him true gold,
he will not fail of success and honor
and of the real satisfaction of life.
