the absence of a number at the
Chicago convention Division 3, A. o.

Monday night, those present receiv-
ing the praise of President Hourigan

BRITISHERS
F1uniIiated by the Wretch
ed Showing of Their
Athletes.

The wretched showing made by
British athletes in the O,ympian
games has caused intense bite. as
and humiliation in England. At the
beginning the British corre-
spondents at Stockholm sought to
explain away the defeats of their
men by insinuating IN some cases, or
openly charging in others, unfair
ness against the Judges and sharp
practice against their conquerors.
1t is bitter confession that Great
Britain, the original source of mod
ern athletics, should have to humbly
sit az the feet of Jim Sullivan and
Mike Murphy and begin to learn the
rudiments of training, but it repre-
sents in summary form the con-
clusion reached by w. Beach
Thomas, ex-President of the Oxford
University Athletic, Club, in a two
column special article to the Daily
Mail, written after his visit to
Stockholm.

FRANKFORT.
Delightful Entertainment
Provided by knights of
Columbus.

The Knights of Columbus of
Frankfort are providing delightful
entertainment for the people of the
Capital City. Thursday night of last
week Frankfort Council rendered
one of the most enjoyable receptions
ever given to about 800 members of
the Church of the Good Shepherd.
A splendid vocal and instrumental
musical programme was rendered,
followed by a bounteous luncheon.
Next comes the Fair dance, to be
held at the Frankfort Hotel ball
room next Wednesday, when the
music will be furnished by the Sec
ond Regiment band. Invitations
have been sent all over the State and
It is thought there will be many
Knights at the fair, which is one OF
the best in Kentucky.
Frankfort Council will also enterN
tain the people of Frankfort some
Sunday in the near future with a
boat ride up the historic Kentucky
river, going as far as High Bridge.
This will be a really pleasant day
for those fortunate enough to be the
guests of the Knights.
Knights throughout Kentucky
will be gratified to learn that Louis
Schroff. the genial Frankfort Secre-
tary, who has been quite sick, is
much improved. His host of friends
hope TO see him completely recov-
cred when he returns from a two
weeks stay at the springs.

HANDSOME
viii Be the Float of the
Columbia Athletic
Club.

A happy feeling prevailed Tues
day night at the meeting of the
Columbia Athletic Club, largely due
to the splendid attendance, the vic
tory of the American athletes at
Stockholm, and the progress now be-
ing made with the handsome float
for the Catholic Federation parade.
President Ben Beckmann was In the
chair and the Board of Directors sub
mitted a very gratifying report.
William DENIES exhibited the design
for the float and the plan outlined
for the Columbia Athletic Club,
which promises a surprise. The
Secretary's report showed that in
terest in the club was increasing and
that the building fund was sufficient
to meet payments when due. Several
interesting talks were made, during
which attention was called to the
improvements made in the house and
the comforts installed for the mem
bors. Messrs. Will Larkin, Peter
Koch and William Meehan we're ap-
pointed members of a committee to
confer with Col. Joseph McGinn and
Harry Veeneman as to the pro-
gramme for the reception to be ten
dered the Supreme officers of the
Catholic Knights of America during
the Federation convention next
month. Upon motion it was decided
to give another outing before cold
weather for the members and their
families, the committee that ar
ranged the last one being reappoint-
ed. Will Holley, w. T. Meehan and
the editor of the Kentucky Irish
American were called upon and
spoke words of encouragement for
the club and its splendid home.

Frenchman means, and also the
Italian, the Austrian, the Hindoo
and Jap who are acquainted with
Latin. All who know living Ian
guages are aware how the meanings
of words vary in different ages. In
Chaucer, for example, It is very hard
to follow the language without
notes, and the French of Rabelais is
very far from the French of
Chateaubriand. BY the use Of Latin,
a fixed and settled language. the
doctrine of the church is embalmed
in one unchanging tongue-as un-
as the doctrine. Hence,
no wrong idea can be brought by the
growth Of the language into the first
Christianity taught; and in this we
have another reason why Latin is
best. Latin was the language of
Europe, and because Europe has
spread itself, by its peoples,
throughout the world, Latin is the
best of the worldwide tongues that
have died.

TRINITY COUNCIL.
Membership Committee
Provides a Delightful
Musicale

A delightful and appreciated event
of the week occurred Tuesday even
ing, when the Membership Commit
tee entertained Trinity Council, Y. M.
L., and its friends and prospective
candidates with a musicale given at
the club house and participated in by
some of the best vocal and instru-
mental talent in the city. The pro-
gramme was arranged by Phil W.
Hager, and every number proved
highly pleasing to the large audience.
Trinity proposes to make these af-
fairs frequent among its social do
ings In order to keep up the already
enthusiastic interest. The council
has already determined to give an
other opera, and when the cooler
weather arrives active work OF
preparation will begin.

been decided that holders of these
books will be allowed two reserved
/ seats at the Armory mass meetings
and at the choral concert for each

Louisville. There is great interest
In the parade. although IT is but one

priest sacrificed. Second. to feed
upon certain parts of -thei Victim.
They therefore Joined with the
priest in his act, but did not join
with him in any public prayer said
relating to that act. 1t consequently
matters not what the language be
which the priest may use at the
altar; what the people join in is the
great act of worship, not any form
of prayer.
The non-Catholic persisted in his
inquiries. and asked why Latin
should be the tongue actually used.
He was told that in prayer the words
and feeling or sentiment are all; but
in sacrifice the thing done counts
for most, the words said being of
secondary Importance. The sacrifice
must be the same for ALL the
prayer may be different for each ac-
cording to his disposition. Catholics
are not poor in prayers in the Eng
lish tongue, a fact that is shown by
another fact, namely, that all the
good parts of the Protestant COM
mon prayer book are bodily taken
from Catholic sources, and much
altered. Unlike the Protestant
church services, moreover, of which
the larger part changes day by day,
the Catholic sacrifice does not
change. It is the same day by day,
and only the gospel of the day
varies. The same unchanging sacri-
flee is the cause and guide Of the
intensity of Catholic devotion, and
the liberty given the Catholic to
pray during the sacrifice as he
wishes, makes the same worship
ever new.
Since the universally OF the
church is one of her characteristics,
it is only fitting that the devotions
sacrifice should be universal and
given everywhere in one and the
same tongue. So men, gathered as
ON the day OF Pentecost from all ma
tions under heaven in one monas-
terry, or in one church, can not only
be present at the same sacrifice be-
cause it is an act in which they all
join, but can join in the same psalms
and the same prayers in the very
same tongue TO which they we're
used each in his own land. Clearly
this is good for both layman and
priest The priest who is ordered
away to China at a moments notice
can say his mass just as quietly
when he arrives there. It would
puzzle a non-Catholic clergyman,
however, to read his prayers In any
other but his native tongue. To
this the non-Catholic assented.
There is a greater reason, how
ever. as Father Bampfield insisted
Christianity. he told the non-Cath-
Ollie, is no longer Christianity II IL be
changed. Christianity added to. or
Christianity taken from, is not the
Christianity of Christ. The care of
the truth is the great and the first
duty OF the Society of Christine
Catholic church. II follows then that
the fixed. II dead, language suits
best the purpose Of the church; the
meaning of each word Is established
and can not alter. What Cicero
meant when first he spoke the words
In the Senate at Rome. what ST.
Jerome and st. Augustine meant
that same is meant today. and will
be meant when the world ends.

SOUVENIR BOOK IN PRESS

Preparations for the eleventh an
nual convention of the American
Federation of Catholic Societies con-
tinued during the week with una
bated interest Notwithstanding the
intensely hot weather. The ardor of
the officers and committeeman in
charge was, if anything, increased
by the hot spell. Every succeeding
day gives the Jefferson County Fed
GRAFTON of Catholic Societies re-
newed hope that the convention will
be as largely attended as at first
anticipated and even more so. Re-
ports received this week from par
lshes are very encouraging. AL
though all of the congregations have
not yet reported, sufficient official
information has been received to in
dicate that the parade on Sunday,
August IS, will be the grandest
pageant ever witnessed IN the city.
Another feature, and which music
lovers will rejoice to hear of, is the
choral concert which is to be given
at the Armory on Monday night fol-
lowing the opening of the conven-
tion. In this concert 500 trained
voices will participate. Nearly every
Catholic choir in the city is assisting
and contributing voices, and many
outside singers have volunteered
their services. The singers are now
being rehearsed under the direction
of Prof Anthony Molengraft, and
rehearsals are being held every Fri
day night at st. Boniface school hall.
At the last rehearsal about 200
voices participated. 1t is requested
that members of Catholic choirs and

succeeding ones. This concert is
