ENCOURAGED.

The Catholic Woman's Club has
received great encouragement and
renewed zeal for the work in behalf
OF the working girls OF Louisville
from the warm response which their
publication of the tenth anniversary
review has met. This presentation
Of the great problem of the working
girl, the dangers Of the city which
threaten them and the necessity for
an active apostolate in their behalf,
by Dan Walsh, Jr., has opened the
eyes of many of our Catholic peo-
pie who before took little or no in
terest in the clubs work. The Ia
dies are pleased at the notice which
tho book has received all over the
country, but they are particularly
gratified to know that many LOUIS
Vile people have seen the duty Of
getting behind the club and making
possible the reaching Of many more
needy girls. A very practical express
sion of interest in the work was
received last week. II was $40
bill received in letter, whose
writer remains unknown. The let
ter was short, however. for all that
was found inside, besides the money,
was a card bearing these words,

GODS CALL.

After an illness of long duration,
borne with perfect resignation, God
called to her eternal reward Sunday
morning one Of his most faithful
servants in the person Of Mrs. Mary
A. Geher, beloved wife of Frank A.
Geher, of the firm of Geher & Son
and Commissioner of the Sinking
Fund. Mrs. Geher was ever home
loving woman, gifted with keen in
tellect and strong individuality,
possessing in extraordinary measure
the qualities that set her price far
above rubies." 1t was given to her
to influence for good all who en-
joyed her acquaintance, and her
death comes as q personal loss 70
hundreds beyond the confines of
her home and near kin. Born in
this city forty-seven years ago, and
graduated from the Girls High
School as Mary Weyd, she was mar
endowed with the sense of honor,
sturdy honesty and strong, reverent
Christian spirit that were marked
characteristics of his bride. Mrs.
Geher was an incessant charity
worker and was Corresponding Sec
retary of the st. Anthony Sewing
Society for a number of years, be-
sides being closely identified with
the Sisters of the Good Shepherd.

mother, Mrs. Mary Weyd, and three
sisters, Mrs. P. ]. Mattingly, Mrs.
Emma Mattingly and Miss Rosa
Weyd. The funeral service was held
Wednesday morning with solemn
high mass of requiem at st.
Boniface church, and was the larg-
est seen there for years. From all
sides come expressions of sympathy
for the bereayed husband.

SAD END.

Edward O'Mara, thirty-two years
of age and residing at 517 North
Seventeenth street, met with a sud-
den and unexpected death during the
early hours of Tuesday morning,
when he fell from a fifth-story win
dow of the Stratton-Terstegge Com.
pany warehouse at Fifteenth and
Lytle streets, where he was en-
ployed as night watchman. Monday
he aided his two brothers, with
whom he lived, to move, and late at
night complained that he was tired
and suffering from loss of rest. He
turned in his last signal at 1855 in
the morning, and his watch was
stopped at 1920 o'clock, at which
time it is thought the fall occurred.
The body was found at 5 o'clock
by a workman, who notified the
police of the Fourth district: Cor
oner Duncan was called and viewed
the body, after which it was re-
moved to the undertaking establish
ment of Thomas Keenan,. O'Mara's
skull was fractured. the ribs on his
left side were broken and he was
otherwise mangled and bruised. This
acciednt is the second fatality that
has befallen the O'Mara family this
summer. On July ] 8 James O'Mara,
brother and a native OF Louisville,
was killed in Cincinnati while EN-
ployed as driver of an ice wagon.
Two brothers, Thomas and William
O'Mara, and four sisters, survive
him. Undertaken keenan, removed
the body to the home of his sister,
Mrs. James Nash, 1926 Rowan
street, from where the funeral took
place Thursday morning with a SOL
emn mass of requiem at st. Pat
rick's church

Right to Warn People Against
an Evil That Is Working
Harm.
Has Not Been Properly Pre-
sented to Nom Catholic
Public.
WHAT CHATHOLICS ARE TAUGHT

There is no need of my issuing
formal regulation regarding the
immoral dances now in vogue" said
the Right Rev. Denis O'Donaghue,
ID. D., Bishop of Louisville, Wednes-
day night to one of the daily press
reporters when shown a dispatch
stating that Archbishop Moeller, of
Cincinnati, and Bishop Byrne, of
Nashville had forbiddcn priests 20
absolve persons who engaged in
these Objectionable dances.
Almighty God, and not Bishops,
forbade immortality and all other
sin, and every Catholic knows full
well that every sin of impurity.
whether it be of deed or look or
thought, is against the law of God.
What else do they need? These
dances, the tango, the turkey trct,
the bunny-hug and all the rest of
them are immoral and every Gath
olic who dances them knows that
he is committing a mortal sin.
trampling the law of God beneath
foot, liabling himself to eternal
damnation and giving bad example
to those outside the church What
need therefore is there for me to
condemn them when God Almighty
has forbidden them along with all
sin and everything that leads TO
sin?
There often are mistakes in the
way in which these things are
given out" continued the Bishop.
"As | have said before, the plain
fact in the case is that any immoral
dance or anything else that causes
man or woman to forfeit what
Jesus Christ purchased by the shed
ding of his precious blood is a nor
tai sin. That is all there is to 1t and
every child in our parochial schools
knows what that means.
Now it is all right to warn the
people against an evil that is doing
harm at a certain time, as these
dances now are, but to say that a
person who sins by dancing them
can not be forgiven is simply not
true. Murder and theft and lust and
every other sin can be forgiven, and
will be forgiven, IL the person is
penitent; that is, il he is truly
sorry for the sin, purposes to amend
his life and to avoid-the occasion of
his fall from the grace of God. In
the present case 1t would mean that
one who had sinned by dancing
these immoral dances would have to
quit dancing them, else his repent
ance is not sincere. In this case the
confession and the absolution and
the whole thing is void, but 1t does
not require a Bishop or a priest TO
tell our people this. They learn II
as soon as they learn their b c's.
"If formal condemnation of
these dances were needed, why most
assuredly I would have to condemn
them and do condemn them.
Turkey trotting and horse trotting
and pig trotting are all right for
turkeys and horses and pigs, but
they are not the things for men and
women, and especially for those who
have been redeemed by the blood
OF Christ. and who know the law of
God, as Catholics do. The Catholic
who has to be told this is a poor
Catholic, II one at all. He needs to
study his catechism, that's all. God
help him.
"I believe that the whole trouble
in this matter Is that II has not
been properly presented TO the nom
Catholic public by certain news
papers. hope. however, that II
now is clear"
