ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY

but promising society, and was ad-
mitted as the eighth member in June
of the same year. In August follow
ing, the society had fifteen members
and through the efforts Of M. LIE Pre-
vost, the name was changed to Society
of st. Vincent de Paul. In February,
1884, the invocation, "St. Vincent de
Paul, pray for u.s." was added to the
prayers before and after the confer.
ences. In the year 1885 the society
had increased to nearly one hundred
members. The division of the original
society and the organization of sister
conferences was now advocated by M.
LIE Provost and several other members,
but this plan was strenuously opposed
by the older members. Finally, the
motion for division was set for discus
sion. After most spirited debate, all
members being present, and only after
it became evident that Ozanam and
also Sister Rosalie, Sister of Mercy,
who was held in high esteem by the
members, favored the division, the
motion to divide prevailed, and M. LIE
Provost and four other members, in
an adjoining room, organized the con.
ference of ST. Sulpice.
So we may look upon M. lie Provost
as the originator of the present order
OF the society, for by his efforts other
works of charity besides the visiting
of the poor in their homes. were
brought within the scope of the So
ciety. M. Bailly was now elected presi-
dentgeneral, who in turn appointed M.
LIE Provost vice-president-general.
Present Rules Adopted.
In December, 1885, a new set of
rules was adopted which has stood
without any amendment until the pres
ent day, which certainly speaks highly
for the sagacity and foresight of the
fathers of the society. The society
now spread rapidly through the whole
OF France, and from there into the
adjoining countries. In the year 1885
the first conference was established in
Rome, Italy; 1912, in Brussels, Bel
GUM; 1874, in London, England; 1845,
in Dublin, Ireland; Edinburgh, Scot

Ozanam, which occurred in the year
1853, the society had spread over
nearly all the world. The council
general with its president have re.
mained in Paris until the present time.
AS it was natural after the division
OF the first conference, a close relation
always existed between the confer.
ences in particular, and central coun-
ellis were Instituted as early as the
year 1845, while superior councils were
instituted in the year 1850. With the
institution OF superior councils, the

wellequipped building, named in honor
of the first Bishop of st. Paul, which
stands at the corner of Sixth and
Main Streets. He eulogized the edu-
cational training given by the Chris
tian Brothers and dwelt at length upon
the success which their graduates have
attained in their various spheres of
activity. The Alumni have an excel
lent reputation for ability, integrity
and fidelity in the performance of the
duties in which they are engaged. They
are loyal to the Church and upright
and honorable in all their dealings
with their fellow men. He bade them
be faithful to the traditions of their
Alma Mater and by their practical
Catholicity enhance the influence of
the Church and her teaching in the
community in which they live.
He was followed by the Rev. Thomas
Gleson, of the Church of st. John,
who delivered an inspiring address on
Some Things Which Catholics Have
referred to the bead-roll of Catholic
names which adorn the pages of
American history in every department
of life, and dwelt upon the inspiration
that comes from knowledge of the
influential role which Catholics have
played in the foundation, growth and
development of the Republic. The
Honorable T. D. O'Brien exhorted the
Alumni to still greater efforts to make
the very best possible use of the op-
portunities which they had received
and thus enhance the splendid reputa-
tion enjoyed by Cretin High School.
Short talks were given by Alfred
Schneemann, President of this years
graduating class; George c. Rogers,
Chairman of the Entertainment Com
mittee, and Brother Patrick, director
of the school.
All in all, the forty-frst annual ban
quet was one of the most successful
ever given by the Alumni Association
and no doubt it will serve to draw
still closer the bond of friendship and
loyalty that unites the graduates to
each other and to the institution of
which they are so proud. The Chris
tian Brothers have done noble work
in their chosen profession during the
forty-tWo years which they have spent
in the City of ST. Paul, and they de-
serve the encomiums passed upon
their work by those who are in a posi-
tion to know the good they have ac-
complished, as well as by those who
have DvUn tire bcnvffcierics of thoir
zeal and devotion to the highest ideals

Times, that this honor rightfully be.
longs to young student named Fred.
erick Ozanam. He was born in the
year 1913, and his ancestry is traced
back to Jewish soldier named HaZZa-
nam, who came to Gaul in the army
of julius Caesar, and who received as
a reward for his valor a tract of land
in France, which he then made his
home.
The family, in the course of the CEN
turies, has given to the Church a num-
ber of priests and nuns. In the year
1888, in the so-called years Of recon
struction, when the aftermath of the
great revolution was still felt, and en-
cyclopaedism and Jansenism were
dominant all over the country, Oza-
nam, then twenty years old, attended
the University of Paris. Here, to-
gether with some other students, he
organized debating club. AS religion
in general and the Catholic religion in
particular was frequently made the
subject Of their discussion, Frederick
invariably stood up for his belief and
defended his faith. The main conten-
ton in these religious disputes was
the assertion that the Catholic Church,
although having done great service
for human civilization in the past, had
outlived its usefulness and was prac-
tically barren of good deeds at that
particular time. "Show us your
works" was repeatedly flung at young
Frederick, and this challenge was the
first stimulant which induced him to
organize his society. Together with
five other fellow-students Of like
mind and under the guidance of his
old friend; Moses Bailly, the editor of
the Tribune CatholiQue, they met in
the month of May, 1888, in back room
of the editorial bureau, and the first
conference was held. The new society
was called Conference of Charity" a
simple set Of rules, similar to the rules
of st. Vincent, were adopted, which
were approved by the Church, and the
work Of visiting and assisting the poor
in their homes was begun. From this
small seed the great tree Of the st.
Vincent de Paul Society has sprung,
and it's limbs spread over the whole
earth at the present time.
Named After st. Vincent de Paul.
Shortly after the organization Of the
society jealous man, M. lie Provost,

PSALM TEN
ACCORDING TO THE HEBREW Or
DER.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Helen Hughes Hielscher.)

Why hast Thou, Lord, retired afar,
Why dost Thou slight us in our wants
And times of trouble, when the taunts
OF wicked men so CALLING are?
The sinner has provoked Gods wrath,
To seek him cut he will not try,
And God is not before his eye,
His feet tread in a filthy path.
To judgment, 10! his eyes are blind,
The just fall down before his rage,
He hopes to live from age to age,
Nor evil in his day to find.
His mouth with curses overflow,
Beneath his tongue deceit is pent,
He waits to kill the innocent,
In ambush with the poor mans foe.
His eye is on the poor man set,
And like a lion in his den
He watches the approach of men,
That he may seize them in his net
For who the poor man shall defend,
Forgotten is his name and race,
And God has turned away His face,
He does not wish to see the end.
Arise, Oh Lord, and show Thy
strength,
The wicked hath provoked Thine ire
But Thou the reckoning wilt require,
The poor man shall be saved at length
For art Thou not the orphans friend
Break Thou the armour of the foe,
His sins shall bring the sinner low,
But Thou shalt reign unto the end.

Enthusiastic words of praise for the
Christian Brothers and their work and
tributes of commendation for the
graduates of Cretin High School
formed the distinctive feature of the
forty-frst annual banquet of the
Alumni of that institution, which was
held in the Ryan Hotel on the even
ing of April II. About two hundred
members of the association were pres
ent and enjoyed the tastily prepared
meal and applauded the encomiums
passed by the different speakers upon
the character of the educational train
ing given in the Cretin High School.
1t was love feast in which the
Alumni and their guests joined in Civ
ing expression to their appreciation of
the self-sacrifcing labors of these de-
voted teachers of the young and as
surances of loyalty to the best inter
ests of the institution over which they
presided.
Before the banquet was served all
the meal a number of vocal and in
strumental selections was rendered
by the orchestra and such well-known
singers as Robert Gehan, Frank J.
Gehan, Thomas and Douglas Keogh
and others.
The program of toasts was opened
by Mr.. J. L. Doherty, President of the
Association, who gave brief account
of its present status and introduced
the toastmaster, Mr.. George T. Red

Christian Brothers, who, after a few
words of welcome, introduced the Most

But, we are told, Catholics give
their allegiance first to the Pope, then
to the President; foreign potentate
is first in their scheme of loyalty, and
in case of a conflict they would cling
to the Pope and renounce the Presi-
dent. This is pure theory and calls
for no argument. The political and
the spiritual do not come into con.
fiict in this country where Church and
state are different entities, with dis.
tinct spheres and definite lines OF

Some women have a knack of making
their rooms expressive not only of them

women have the desire to make their
