SETTLING MINNESOTA
The Topic Of An Address by Bishop
McGolrick at Duluth.

At one of the sessions of the con-
vention of the Northern Minnesota
Development Association which was
held in Duluth last week Rt. Rev.
James McGolrick, Bishop of Duluth
delivered an address on the settling
of Minnesota. Bishop .IcGolrick rec
ognizes the opportunities that Mime
sofa lands offer to settlers who are
fortunate enough to locate here. He
has for years been interested in colon
ization work and, as the following ex
tract from his speech will show, he
is even more convinced now than ever
before of the opportunities settlers
can find in the northern part of the
state. He said in part:
There is a strong sentiment in the
heart of every Minnesotan who loves
the great Northwest to see the thou
sands and thousands of valuable acres
now awaiting cultivation settled by a
prosperous population.
within a comparatively brief pc
riod the Northern Minnesota Develop
ment association has reused the atten-
ton of people both in and out of the
state to the magnificent opportunities
afforded to incoming settlers as we'll
as to the whole country.
Back to Mother Earth the tru-
est source of wealth and prosperity,
is the oft repeated cry of many
dweller in town and city. The poor
man and his family now understand
better than in years past, that it
needs not hundreds of acres to make
thriving farmer, but that under our
new system of intensive farming, a
few acres we'll cultivated will bring
adequate support and comfort.
"Over and over again our scientific
agriculturists from college and uni
versity have declared that Minnesota
can raise the best vegetables of any
state in the Union.
THE soil areas of the Northwest
have been tested and analysed and
everywhere the conclusion is the
same; we only need careful cultiva-
ton and wise rotation of crops to
produce abundance for years.
The lands which l am engaged in
settling at the present time are in
Mile Laos county. The D. S. B.
Johnston Land company have made
most beneficial terms with the set
tiers. They guarantee that the lands
will be worth so per cent more in ten
years than they are today, and the
company will agree to take back any
lands sold to bona fide settlers, and
to refund every penny, including
taxes, with interest at per cent.
if the increase in value has not taken
place; that it will furnish lumber up
to the amount of $500 in value for
doors, floors, roof and windows, when
the walls are up for log house and
barn, and charge the same to the
purchaser. letting him pay for it in
annual installments; that it will make
discount in the nature of a credit
of 81 an acre to any purchaser to be
deducted from the final payment, ii
within two years he puts on the land

HONOR FOR CARDINAL,
Citizens Of Baltimore Show Apprecia-
ton Of Work Of Noble Son.


One of the grandest demonstrations
ever held in honor of a Catholic
clergyman in this country took place
in Baltimore on June when all Bal
timore turned out to do honor to the
man who has for many years been
Baltimores foremost citizen, James
Cardinal Gibbons. The demonstration
took place in the Fifth Regiment Ar
mory which, though it has capacity
of $4,000, was packed to the doors.
Few men have an opportunity of lis
tening to eulogies from such large
number of sincere admirers who are
among the leading citizens of the
country.
President Taft, Vice President Sher-
man, Chief Justice White, former
President Roosevelt, Ambassador
Bryce of Great Britain: Speaker
Champ Clark, Senator Root of New
York: Governor Crothers of Mary
land; former Speaker Cannon and
Mayor Preston of Baltimore, sat with
the Cardinal and all of Them except
the chief justice, spoke in praise of
him.
Among the 600 guests seated on the
platform behind the President, the
cardinal and the other speakers, were
more than a score of senators and
members of the House of Representa-
tives.
PRESIDENT Taft in his address de-
clared that Cardinal Gibbons, through
out his life had Spared no efforts in
the cause of good citizenship and the
uplifting Of his fellowmen."
"Always.' said Mr.. Taft, 1--WE have
found him on the side of law and or
der, always in favor Of peace and re-
ligious tolerance, and always strong in
the conviction that complete freedom
in the matter of religion is the best
condition under which churches may
thrive. With pardonable pride he
points to the fact that Maryland was
among the first to give complete reli-
gious tolerance"
His eminence. was born in this city
July %. 1884, of Irish parents Dur
ing his boyhood he was taken to Ire
land, where he received the elements
of, liberal education. On returning
to the United States it was determined
by his parents to consecrate him to the
service of God, and he entered st.
Charles college, Maryland, where he
was graduated with distinction in
1857 Thence he went to st. Mary's
seminary, where, after taking the US
ual courses of theology and philosophy
he was ordained priest June s,
1861, by Archbishop Kenrick.
Father Gibbons was at once assign
ed to duty and hard duty at that time,
in the city of Baltimore, serving first
as an assistant priest at st. Patricks'
church, East Baltimore, under the ia
nous Father James Dolan. In 1868
he was appointed vicar apostolic of
North Carolina. He remained four
years in North Carolina and displayed
such remarkable administrative abil-
tiles that on the death of Bishop Nc
Gill he was transferred to Richmond,

THE LENGTH OF THE SERMON.

One of the difficulties which the
parish priest must face during the
summer months is the matter of hold
ing the attention of his congregation
during his sermon. To become dis
tracted at Mass when the weather is
oppressively hot is a very easy mat
ter. But people feel more keenly the
responsibility of being attentive dur
ing the offering up of the Holy Sacri-
flee than during the time the preacher
is addressing them. If they are mat
tentive while the sermon is being
preached they justify themselves by
attributing it to the preacher himself
for not having his sermon better pre-
pared or for failing to deliver it with
more eloquence and animation. Too
often they forget that the task of pre-
pairing sermons during the hot sum-
mer months is not one that is filled
with pleasure. And again they fail
to contrast their position with that
of the priest who must spend long
hours in the confessional as we'll in
summer us during the other seasons
of the year, and, though it must be
very trying, he never makes any 9th.
er complaint than that mis- parshion.
ers do not approach the Sacraments
as often as he would have them.
10 h.,
claims made by those who take up
the other side of the question No
preacher can expect to hold the at
tention of his congregation by ran
dom discourse that is half prepared
and half delivered and devoid of any
particular point. Apropos of this the
following suggestion by priest in
the columns of an exchange is worth
considering:
Having finished the last gospel,
ascend your pulpit and having some
thing to say, say it in ten minutes.
Pretty soon the people will cease
leaving you, but will sit up and take
notice. Too many of our priests are
sinfully careless and never prepare
their sermons, and hence have moth,
ing to say. Others have a collection
to announce every Sunday-money,
money! Others have a roast pre-
pared for some of the members al
most every Sunday. On these two
subjects they grow red and blue in
they cannot preach. The people from
experience feel sorry for them and
leave before the show opens.
For the last Mass let the sermon
not exceed twenty-five minutes. Let
it be we'll prepared and we'll deliv-
cred. 1t should be of the choicest
English and fit to appear in any col
lection of speeches. Think of the sub
ject we have to treat of: God Al
mighty, and His Works.; any of them.
The people will not listen to a
slouchy sermon in the pulpit"
There is good deal of sound adj
vice in these few words. Any one
who acts as though he does not know
what he is going to say cannot ex.
pect to hold the attention of his aud
itors. The successful speaker is the
man who gives the impression that
he is intensely interested himself in
what he has to say

So far as Ireland is concerned the
good the House of Lords has done in
checking bad legislation is not to be

in refusing to pass legislation which
would have been Of inestimable bene-

know if we have found their little
pet poodle that has been missing

to know if fish bite .nese hot days
and if the water in the city lake is
really as low as it is claimed bv
those who should know about the

these matters and consequently don't
know anything abou. them; if Wa
