closed, he recalls to their minds
that the Ancient Order of Hibern-
ians stands for two things faith
and fatherland, and continues:
In the Irish heart the two are
closely linked. When, in the days
of persecution, a choice had to be
made there was never any hesita-
ton. Our fathers would not give
up their faith even at the risk Of
being driven from their Father
land. They crossed the seas in the
famine ship, but they carried with
them the faith unsullied. And in
many distant country the dreams
of his lost native land came back
at night upon the Irish exile, and
brought forth the bitter tears Of
regretful sorrow for the place so
dear to him.
eve are still the same people,
but our faith is no longer banned.
Yet would it not be grand thing
for us to make public profession Of
that faith? St. Patrick's day falls
this year on Sunday. Therefore
the fulfllment Of the request I am
about to make will not inconven-
fence any of our members. It is
simply that every one Of us would
receive Holy Communion that
morning. I know you will do it.
You only require to be reminded
Of what a glorious profession Of
faith it will be. Just imagine The
Ancient Order Of Hibernians and
the Ladies Auxiliary are approx
mately 100000. Each one will
easily bring another member Of the
family along. So it is possible for
us to have half a million Of our
people making public profession
Of faith on the 18th of March"
He appeals to their officers to
rally their forces and make prep
arations for the reception of Holy
Communion in a body for their
own sakes and for the faith of
their fathers. "Show the people
of this great continent" he says,
"that you are a real Catholic
society. Let the world see that our
members are true to faith and
fatherland. Do this and you will
be bringing the blessing Of God on
our order, the land Of our fathers
and the land of our adoption. .

public under the guise Of an unsec-
tarianism for which there is no
warrant in it's constitution. II
Jews or Catholics or Unitarians
were to seek an entrance into the
public schools for the teaching OF
their distinctive religious tenets
there would be a great cry raised,
but few protests are heard when
the Y. M. G. A. makes similar
attempt. Bishop Garrigan is with.
in his right as private citizen in
protesting against the incubation
Of the high schools with the Y. M
G. A. brand of religion; and it be-
hooves all those who have the wei
fare of these institutions at heart
to be on their guard against such
an illegal intrusion.

During the week the Catholics
Of Boston welcomed His Eminence
Cardinal O'Connell on his return
from Rome with a great outpour-
ing of enthusiasm. Elaborate cere-
monies marked his first appear
ance in the Cathedral of the Holy
Cross, where Pontifcal Mass was
celebrated by Bishop Milan of
Hartford. The non-Catholics
joined with their Catholic breth-
rem in rendering a royal welcome
to the distinguished citizen of
Boston who had been signally hon
ored by His Holiness. A number
of banquets and receptions have
been planned to commemorate the
homecoming of the first Cardinal
Archbishop Of Boston.

tuagesima, meaning the fiftieth,
sixtieth or SEVENTEEN day. AS a
matter Of fact, however, they do
not designate the fiftieth, sixtieth,
or SEVENTEEN day before Easter.
The old names are still retained in
the liturgy Of the Church, and the
divine office and the services held
on these days take on the special
features Of the Sundays Of Lent.
In the mind of the Church,
therefore, this pre-Lenten period
retains many Of the characteristics
Of the olden days when it was OBJ
served as vigorously as the present
Lent. The Church clothes her min
listers in purple vestments indica-
tive of penance, and in her official
prayers calls upon the faithful to
prepare themselves by penitential
works to draw fullest draughts
from the source Of divine grace
made accessible to human frailty
through the glories of the Resur.
rection. During this period all are
exhorted to withdraw themselves
as much as possible from the dis.
fractions of the world and give
themselves to meditation and
prayer and to the eradication from
their souls of the roots Of sin and
imperfection that tend to sap the
vigor Of their spiritual natures and
make them an easy prey to the
assaults Of the evil one. While il
is true that the austerity anC
severe penitential discipline which
characterizes Lent is not de
manded Of them during this
period, it behooves them, neverthe
less, to enter into serious consid
Grafton of their spiritual condi
ton in order that by this salutary
preparation they may reap the
more abundant spiritual fruits
from the rigorous discipline which
Lent imposes.

AN INSULT TO OUR CREATOR.

I'm every way and under every
form the bishops of the Third Plenary
Council of Baltimore have found this
same fearful agency of intoxicating
drink ever ready to do the devils
work, to deform and degrade human
ity, and insult our Creator. It it any
wonder that, for the love of God and
love of humanity, they raise their
voice and mathematical it? And if
any man praise it, if any man counte-
nance and encourage it, does he not
prove himself an enemy of God and
humanity, and does he not deserve to
share in the anathema? The bishops
cursed no man; but we'll they knew
what curses deep and bitter went I'D
from thousands of anguished and
broken hearts against those who SUD-
piled to their husbands and their sons
the vile stuff that overwhelmed them
with hopeless misery"
Archbishop Keone

there is question Of edifying their
fellowmen by their example and
strengthening the faith Of others
who are less stalwart they
in public profession of Catho-
Lefty. No society is asked to re-
ceive Holy Communion in body
in order that it may parade it's
Catholicity. The purpose kept in
view is the good example given by
men more or less prominent in the
community who are not ashamed
to be seen at Communion with
their fellowmen. The object is
to assist the weaker brethren who
are inclined to keep their Catholi-
city hidden. There is no more in
spring sight than to see an organi-
cation, especially Of Catholic men,
approach Holy Communion public
ly, thus giving evidence Of living
faith and sturdy loyalty to Holy
Mother Church. Ii the Ancient
Order of Hibernians carry out the
wishes of it's National President
there is no doubt that it's exam
pie will have very salutary effect
on other societies. We hope that
the day is not far distant when
all Catholic societies will deem it
their most cherished privilege to
unite their members in commem-
Grating some day Of the year by
the reception of Holy Communion
in body. Such manifestation of
practical Catholicity on their part
will tend to keep them in the posi-
ton they ought to occupy as Cath
Ollie societies, will stimulated their
weakened brethren to initiate
their example, will have salutary
effect upon the rising generation
and will undoubtedly rebound to
the honor of religion and the wei
fare of Holy Mother Church.

THE PROPAGATION OF THE
FAITH.

The annual returns from the
Catholic missions which have just
been made public contain a list OF
missionaries who gave their lives
for the propagation of the Faith
during the year just closed. One
hundred and seventy-eight soldiers
of Christ laid down the burden OF
their lives for the advancement OF
religion in pagan lands. On this
bead-ron of honor France holds
first place with the names OF sew
enty-eight missionaries. Then
comes Italy with twenty-five
Spain with sixteen; Alsatia, four
teen; Belgium, Holland and Ger
many, eight each; the United
States, five; Canada and Ireland,
two each, and one each from Eng
land, Dalmatia, Turkey, Brazil
and Hindustan. Among these are
twelve Bishops and representatives
of all the missionary orders such
as the Redemptorist, Capuchins,
Marists, Franciscans, Assumption
lists, etc. These heroic mission
aries braved danger and death in
their efforts to spread the Gospel
The record of their successful min
istrations will encourage others to
walk in their steps and bear a
knowledge Of divine truth to those
who know not God. In our day
even as in the days Of old, "the
blood Of martyrs is the seed OF
Christianity" We owe these
noble souls the tribute of our pray,
ers and material help that their
efforts may continue to bear fruit

FEAST OF THE PURIFICA
TON.

On the second Of February, the
fortieth day after Christmas, the
Church celebrates the Feast Of the
Publication of the Blessed Virgin
Mary. This feast commentaries
the presentation Of our Lord in
the temple by His Virgin Mother
when, in accordance with the pro-
visions Of the Jewish law, she
offered two turtle doves, the one
as a holocaust, the other as sin
offering. On that occasion the
aged Simeon recognized in her
Divine Son the promised Messiah
ga light to the revelation Of the
Gentiles, and the glory Of thy
people Israeli" and Anna, the
prophecies, raised her voice in
thanksgiving for the fulfllment OF
the prophecy concerning the ex-
pected Messiah.
The Blessed Virgin Mary was
not bound to fulfill the Levitical
law by appearing in the temple fol
her Son was begotten, not of man
but Of the Holy Ghost. Neverthe
less, through humility and as ar
example of obedience, she submit
ted to the legal publication re
quired of every Jewish mother.
This feast is popularity known
as Candlemas day because it i:
customary to bless candles before
the principal Mass and carry them
lighted, in procession. This pro
cession represents the entry O.
Christ ''the light Of the world
into the temple at Jerusalem ano
recalls to our mind that after tn,
lapse of many centuries the true
light of His gospel still shine
brightly amid the darkness ant
unbelief of the present age 81
largely given over to materialisn
and irreligion.
! On Candlemas day it is Gus
tomary for the faithful to max
; an offering of wax candles to tn
Church and after they are blesse,
by the officiating priest, to tax
one or two home with them wher
they are used, whenever neces
sary, in the administration of tn
Sacraments, at funerals, in time
OF danger, distress and sickness.
is a pious custom which all shout,
observe. Every Catholic HON
should have its blessed candle.

Y. M. G. A. CAMPAIGN.

Last Sunday the local Y. M. G.
A. launched a campaign among
church members for social mem
bership in the organization with
laudatory sermons from the pull
pits of the non-Catholic churches
in this city. On Monday morning
canvassing teams, appointed by a
committee Of two picked from
every Protestant church by the
pastor, began work in an effort to
increase the number of those who
patronize the Association and con-
tribute to it's support. -.
II they confne their activity to
the members of evangelical
churches well and good. No one
will criticise them as long as their
appeal is made only to those who
can profit to the fullest extent by
the advantages-physical, educa-
tional and spiritual-offered by
the association. But when they
try to influence others than mem
'bers Of evangelical churches to
contribute in any way to the up
building Of the organization they
are going beyond the limits to
which they are entitled by their
constitution. So much has been
written and said about the Y. M.
G. A. and it's propaganda during
the past year that no Catholic will
be deceived by it's plea Of nonsec-
tarianism unless he is wilfully
blind to the truth. Catholics and
members Of other than evangelical
churches are not received into the
inner sanctuary Of the association
unless they repudiate their church
affiliations. Many, no doubt, will
be asked to join and they will be
made welcome for the financial
support they give to it, but they
have no say in the management Of
it's affairs, no vote at the execu-
tive sessions Of those who control
it's policy. The organization is
essentially Protestant no matter
how diluted its religious teaching
may be.

THE PRE-LENTEN SEASON.

The time intervening between
Septuagesima Sunday and Ash
Wednesday may be regarded as
the Pre-Lenten season in as much
as, according to the liturgy of the
Church, it serves as a preparation
for that period Of penance and
fasting. 1t is a reminder of the
time when Lent, as we now under
stand it, was more extended than
it is at present. 1t was not until
the sixth century Of the Christian
era that uniformity was secured in
the observance of the time Of fast
and abstinence that precedes the
Feast Of the Resurrection Of our
Lord. 1t was then decreed by
Pope. and Council that in future
forty days, exclusive of the Sum-
days which are never observed as
fast days, should be set apart in
memory of the fast kept by our
Lord as preparation for the work
of His public ministry.
Prior to that time the Lenten
period varied in different coun-
tries. It comprised fifty, sixty or
even seventy days. A reminder
Of this is found in the names of
the Sundays included in this pre-
Lenten period. The Sundays that
fall within the forty days Of Lent
are named Quadrigesima; and the
three that precede Ash Wednes-
day are called, respectively, GUM
lquagesima, Sexagesirna and Sep

A movement has been set on
foot in Limerick for the purpose
of erecting beside the Treaty Stone
in that city a church which will
be a not unworthy monument OF
the old faith. The little church
erected there in 1899, during the
penal days, has given one hundred
and twelve years Of service to
God. Owing to it's delapidated
condition it has been for a long
time a source of humiliation, and
at present it is a positive discredit
to the people. 1t bears the hon.
ored name of st. Munchin, patron
of the Diocese of Limerick. It's
pastor, Rev. Andrew Murphy, the
editor of the Irish Educational
Review, is making an appeal tt
Irishmen, and especially to native:
of Limerick, for financial assist
ance in the work of replacing the
old church by one that will b.
worthy Of it's historic setting.
