NATIONAL PRESIDENT SPEAKS
TO 7. A. SOCIETIES,
Large Congregation at st. Patrick's
Church Hears ForcefuI Sermon from
Rev. p J. o'CalIaehan.

Through arrangements made by st.
Anne's T. A. society, Rev. P. J. OCal-
laghan OF Chicago, a Paulist father and
president of the Catholic Total Absti-
hence union of America, was the
speaker here on Sunday at the vesper
service at st. Patrick's church, where
large congregation was assembled to
hear this eloquent and forceful speak
or, who is known as one of the fore
most speakers in the country.
The members of St Mary's and st.
Anne's T. A. societies to the number of
100 proceeded in body to the church
from the society rooms, and occupied
seats reserved for them on the right
of the main aisle. A delegation from
the Father Mathew T. A. society was
also present.
Father O'Callaghan took for his text
this passage from holy scripture: ct
must needs be that scandal comes, but
woe unto him through whom scandal
comes" The speaker then proceeded
to define the meaning of scandal as
applied in his text. He claimed that
the person Of culture who encourages
the drinking habits of society is the
cause of more scandal than the poor
miserable drunkard lying in the gutter.
The latter is a temperance lecture,
rather than a cause of scandal Every
man is guilty of the scandal given by
intemperance to the extent that he en-
courages or discourages the cause OF
total abstinence. He pictured in force
full language the miserable existence Of
the drunkard and the misery that he
has brought upon those dependent up
on him.
He censured in scathing words the
of lrJof IN
and sociability tempts him is striving
with all his energy to overcome his in
chnation for drink. Continuing, the
speaker claimed too much credit could
not be given to the men and women
who had banded together in the Cath
ole total abstinence societies of the
country, BY their practices and their
example they were doing a great work
in promoting the welfare of their fell
low men.
THE Catholic church stands now
and all times for sobriety," said the
speaker, and 1 am in this total alb
stinence movement because the church
endorses it.
In conclusion he urged his hearers to
consider well what their duty was in
this great moral issue. Let the men
and women become members of the
local total abstinesce society, and con-
| secrate their lives to the cause of So
briefly, thereby becoming better men,
bers of the church and better citizens.
st. Anne's society had arranged for 6
reception at their rooms for Rev. Faith
/ er O'CaLaghan, but through a misun-
