 ls At the conclusion of the mass, Npsg. Lucey spoke in part as follows:
 Dear, Brethren: My thought on our Centsnnial celebration must be given ito you. today in: crude expression, as T have had no opportunity to prepare ian address suitable to the occasion, The first thought that comes to my spind is the uselessness or the useful mess. of such celebrations. We have this week in our city a a'celebration by the Daughters of the Confederacy of Arkansas. Last. Sunday at Gray, In aiana,' there was celebration in honor of a boy hero. We have an an- pual ,celebration. on the Fourth of July End. similar, ones on other occasions. But .are these celebrations useless or useful? That is an important ques- tion. All the best spirits of the world long ago decided the question affirm satively and for very good and whole some reasons.
 "Mankind from the beginning Of the world has been formed into two opposing armies. There is the army of the Lcrd God of Heaven and earth, which unites .n its ranks the choicest spirits of, the human race who battle Tor right and justice, law and order. for virtue. honesty. and morality. In opposition lis the army of Satan, nrince nf this world though a wicked one. wh ch offers a place of refuge for ahe criminals of every degree and ~hich s ,reehe to establish the reign of plasd1e m and crime.

could be done at the time. Subse- quently the Sisters purchased the ad
 joining Goldman property of 40 feet by 476, for one thousand dollars, and the pasor, who engineered the op- ening out of the streets running South from Sixth avenue, added, the
 str D between the Sisters property and Laurel street, feet by 416 A fire came as usual, after some years, and the Sisters with only $1.000 aid from the Catholics of Pine Bluff, built a fine $20000 brick building for their Annunciation Academy Their enroll ment has grown from 66 the rst year to 250 pupils
 When we now look ill review up- on the life wcrk of these 800 godly women which has been so imperfect ly sketched and mark their pure and unselfiSh lives, when we call to mind that all their work is for the good of others and for the general betterment of mankind, when we know how much good work is still to be done before the 2rmy of the Lord can safely cla m victory we should pause to ad- mire their labors and cheer them on- ward in their centennial march. They gre surely entitled 10 celebration and the American public does itself honor by honoring them.
 eff anyone wishes to know the dominent idea of the life of S ster of Charity, he can read it in the re- ply of Mother Columbia, I have high CT aspirations.' They believe that their life is a higher and nobler lie than married life or single blessed ness. They believe that the work of educating the ignorant. ministering to the sick and dying, and cheering the life of the orphan is the greatest and grandest work that this world af- lords and that it best fits one for en- trance into that more perfect life hereafter where they will be forever united to their heavenly Father

men and women. That is why the whole souled, highm;nded American public delight to honor them.
 1 It was only nine years after the Mississippi and Ohio rivers had ceas- ed to be the western boundary of the united States 1912, and Spanish and trench rule had surrendered the vast Louisiana Territory, that an earnest effort w'as' made to bring the consol- atlons of religion to tho pioneer set- tiers. Kentucky was still a dark and bloody ground, the outpost of civilxa- ton. Bishop Carroll, of Baltimore, was the only Catholic Bishop in the united States and his diocese includ- ed the whole country, known and un- known. He sent Bishop Flaget, a beautiful character, to Kentucky. Fa- ther David, a pious and learned French priest, followed. It was a dreary prospect that met his eyes Daniel Boone and other prominent pioneers, though baptized Catholics, has lost the faith through want of ways to practice their rel zion.
 Father David could get no help from foreign lands and wished none. He appealed to the Catholics of Ken lucky to help him establish churches and schools. By means of missions and retreats, enthusiasm was aroused. Teresa Carico and Elizabeth Wells, ladies of middle age. offered their ,, services. Soon afterward four young ladies came forward Catherine Spauld ing, near relative of Archbishop
 Spaulding; Harriet Gardiner. Mary Beaver and Mary Gwyn. These were
 all of American, birth and since then
 the order has never sought novices from foreign lands and the member ship is almost exclusively American. Father David gave these ladies the rules of the French Sisters ofscharity, which were. drawn up by the great St. Vincent of Paul. The Catholic church considers that it is well for self-protection, unity of work and perfection of life for women, who de- vote their lives to special religious work to live in a community; wear a habit or uniform and: observe set of rules approved by. the authority of the church.
 "These ladies, having adopted a rule of life organized 1912, by the election of a Mother or Superior, and their choice fell upon their youngest member. Catherine Spaulding, She was only 19 years old at this time but was fine business woman and a holy soul. For eight terms of three years each, she filled : the place of Mother and to. her is attributed the initiation of all the greatest works of charity of the order. She d'ed in 1858. Her successor was Mother Col umbra Carroll. an Irish girl of ex- traordinary beauty and talent. She was "a member of the first class of Nazareth graduates. 1925. Owing to her many accomplishments she re- ceived numerous offers of marriage, but to all suffers one reply was given, T have higher aspirations Her teacher was Sister Columbia who died in 1925 and she begged Mother Catherine to reserve the name for her. She died in 1878 after most career.

 The order continued to grow and now numbers altogether about 800 members, who conduct schools in 13 states from Arkansas to Massachu- setts.

Amidst this continuous and might

Amidst this continuous and mighty struggle it is only natural that the
 army of the Lord would make every
 instance of hero'sm of it's followers
 an occasion to strengthen wavering lines, to cheer faishful, workers and
 lead them onward to victory. Such celebrations are most useful because they are inspiring, because they sound
 a note of triumph over the enemy
 and because they show. that truth and justice must finally rule the world. "The Daughters of the Confederacy
 in ther celebration in Pine Bluff this
 week believe that they are doing a
 good and useful work. They bring
 love and good will to all mankind. They wish to exalt and make as a pattern to all who dwell here the hereism of fifty years ago, because it is real heroism, because it s most mo- ble and gre3t and worthy of imit ation. Tee records of their heroes are now
 so merged In ne universal history of the United States as to be insepama ble from 1t aNd they are content to let them lie and .le,l ta build up for a common country a patrio ism that will be immortal.
 r "At Gray, Indiana, on last Sunday
 occurred a celebration that should
 prove to the world the fact that the
 American people admire nobility of
 character and are always ready to re.
 ward it. A poor newsboy was lyinf
 sick in hospital there. He was all orphan and had the misfortune of
 losing through paralysis or other dis ease, the use of one of his legs which was apparently wasting away with out the slightest hope of cure. In the
 same hospital a girl was lying at the DO mt of death. Her body was fear fully burned that unless human skin
 could be grafted on it, there was no boy, heard of her case, he called the doctors and asked them to take what skin they needed from his whitening limb and amputate it. He was warned that being in such weak physical cond ton, his life would be serious ly endangered. The operation was performed. The girl is recovering. Last Sunday the funeral of the boy occurred The whole town and neigh borhood turned Cut to honor the hero ic boy Six policemen were his pail bearers. The motor car of the fire men was the hearse. Fire companies carr ed the flowers The mayor of the city and the aldermen walked W tn bare heads at the head of the process sion, which was hour in passing in given point. This incident is another proof that the army of good people is greater than that of the wicked and that the public at large wish to honor virtue wherever found and to recognize as heroes or hero inc those who are laboring for the elevation of the human race.
 "These illustrations afford good reasons why we should celebrate the centennial of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth. These Sisters belong to the army of the Lord.HaThey have been laboring faithfully since their organization to dispel ignorance, re- lieye suffering, to uphold truth, hon. estv morality and all the virtues that forward good citizenship and enable
