HIBERNIAN PICNIC.

. All indications point to a banner
crowd at the annual picnic and re-
union of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians at Phoenix Hill Park
next Tuesday, many looking forward
to this date with a great deal Of

old friends and acquaintance that
they do not run across at any other
time in the year. A special pro-
gramme of Irish music and dances
has been arranged by the Emerald
Hibernian Social Club, which will

deaconate he was refused ordination
by his own Bishop and that cereI
mony was performed by Bishop
Delaney, of Western New, York, In
1846.
His ministry in the Episcopal
church was brief, for after three
years, on November IA, 1S49. he
was received into the church by
Father (afterward Bishop James
Roosevelt Bayley. Then he took a
brief course in Fordham Seminary
and was ordained by the Right Rev.
John McCloskey, then Bishop of
Albany and afterward the first
American Cardinal. His first as
signment was to duty at the Cathe-
dral and two years later he was an
pointed pastor of st. Mary's church.
Yonkers, where there are now four
teen Catholic churches and a Cath
Ollie. population of about $4,000, and
besides he attended Dobbs Ferry
and Tarrytown as out missions.
After two years of laborious work
there he was selected by Archbishop
Hughes as his secretary to succeed
the Rev. James Roosevelt Bayleyy
who on October 80, 1853, was con-
secrated Bishop of Newark. Two
years later he was made Chancellor
OF the diocese, which office he filled
to the entire satisfaction of three
successive Archbishops.
In 1851 he was appointed pastor
OF st. AIMS church. New York,
where he erected a new church
building and school. In 1873 he
was made Vicar General of the dio-
cese, receiving the dignity of
Domestic Prelate in 1882 and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS in 1888. He
died November 4, 1891, and Arch
bishop Michael Augustine Corrigan
officiated at his obsequies, while
Archbishop Patrick John Ryan, of
Philadelphia, preached the funeral
discourse.
Father Preston was a most de-
voted priest, a Jealous pastor and a
rare executive, while an exquisite
refinement of manner and an abso-
lutte loyalty to the church and to his
superiors we're distinguishing traits
Of HIS character. With all the
laborious duties imposed upon him
In the various responsible positions
he filled he found time to give Adj
vent and Lenten conferences that at
tracted immense congregations, and

and controversial haracter.-Copy-

CONGRESS AT IoURDEs.

The twenty-hfth Eucharistic
Congress will be held this year at
Lourdes from July 20 to July 26.
The object of these yearly celebra-
tions is to gather together to one
center Bishops, priests and laymen
from all parts of the Christian
world, under the approval and
blessing Of our Holy Father the
Pope, in order that by united study
and prayer they may help to make
Christ Our Lord better known and
more loved in the Most Blessed
Sacrament of the Eucharist. The
happy thought has occurred to those
in charge of this years congress to
associate all Christendom with the
celebration. An appeal has there
fore been issued to all nations to
Join in the devotions OF the con-
gress, and especially during the
closing procession on Sunday, July
26, to combine in a simultaneous
and worldwide act of faith and love
toward Christ in the Most Blessed
Sacrament, acknowledging Him to
be their King and Lord, and making
some reparation for the attempts so
general at the present to thrust Him
out of his own kingdom. Therefore
II is the earnest desire of Holy
Mother Church that Catholics
throughout the world should receive
holy communion on Sunday, July
26. By a concession of the Holy
Father granted on January "a,
1912. all Catholics throughout the
world who receive holy communion
on Sunday, July 26, in union with
the congress, gain a plenary indul-
gence applicable to the souls in
purgatory.

Incorporation of thu
80 denominations. Signifi-
.ane "a - the circumstance that one of
secret fraternities' that owes its
Yorigin and inspiration to opposition
to the Catholic church has assumed
the name of the knights of Luther,
an organization that is spreading all
over the country. The aims and OBJ
1ects of the Guardians of Liberty,
with such men as Gen. Nelson Miles
In their ranks, are no sealed book.
Then there is the American League
OF Patriotic Voters, whose design is
to get men into Congress and into
State Legislatures who are pledged
to their anti-Catholic platform. A
chain of publications is concen-
trating its efforts in reviling and
slandering the Catholic church and
its priesthood.
An effort which is meeting with
some measure of success is the en-
deavor to gain the Masonic lodges
for the dastardly work. The follow
ing throws some light on this phase
OF the work: James Cooper, writing
as Freemason to the Continent
(Presbyterian) recently says:
First am pleased to read your
article on the circulation of de-
testable forgeries of oaths of Cath
olic societies, which are being so
extensively circulated at present.
II seems incredible that any one of
ordinary common sense can not see
the absurdity of any such things on
the part of any class of people in
this twentieth century, but am
sorry to say that the Masonic fra
ternity are being dragged into II by |
some men who evidently have not |
learned the first principles of |
Masonry. II
Second have seen three of
these epidemics of anti-Catholicism |
the Knownothings, the A. p. A. |
and the present one. II does seem
strange at time when the whole
trend of civilization Is in the op-
posite direction, when countries
all Catholic are divorcing
Church and State. They must be
brave lot who fear that one Catholic
can control seven Protestants in this
country"
Another factor that is to be
reckoned with is the political alli-
ance of the Socialist movement with
the anti-Catholic campaign. In
Milwaukee. for instance, the Guard
ians of Liberty circulated leaflets
indorsing the Socialist candidates.
The moral support of Socialists is OF
course assured. Socialism regards
the Catholic Church as the one great
obstacle in its way, and hence will
lend its aid to any movement
against the church.
These facts disclose grave
situation. The disastrous tendencies
or the anti-Catholic movement are
not to be underestimated. Apathy
and incredulity must be shaken off
The forces of bigotry must be re-
pulsed. The influence OF publica-
tions like the Menace must be
counterbalanced. II there Is one
potent factor that is equal TO this
task IL is the press.

Occasion For Revealing Bitter
Animosities Against Catho-
lie Church.
Character of Promoters of a
Unique and Unparalleled
Movement.
CENTENARY OF LUTHER's REVOLT

The year 1e17 will go down in
the annals of religious bigotry as
the white heat period of the pres
ent flame of anti-Catholic agitation
that is being famed into greater
fury from week to week. The 1917
movement has enlisted in its cause
all the journalistic scavengers from
the Atlantic to the Pacific and from
the Great Lakes to the Gulf. Fur
thering the movement is a press
with combined Circulation of sew
eral millions. Secret societies have
sprung up under the guise of
patriotism to make tAe year 1917
the banner year of their activity.
No reference is made in the bigoted
press to the 1917 movement for fear
that the plot would be nipped I'M the
bud, but in their private corre-
spondence and at their secret meet
ings the plan is extensively dis
cussed. The present campaign OF
SANDER against the Catholic Church
is but a prelude to a violent out
break that is to come. NE
Why has the year 1917 been
singled out? In the year 1917 the
centenary of Martin Luther's revolt
against the church will be observed.
Protestants of this country would
as a matter of course celebrate this
event. If left to itself the celebra-
tion would merely assume a relig-
ious aspect without revealing any
bitter animosity against the Catholic
church and its adherents, but once
committed to the furies of anti
Catholic bigotry, 1t would develop
into a rabid anti-Catholic demon
stration which would eclipse the
Know-nothing and A. p A. agita-
tions.

MOST DESERVING UNDERTAKING

The Catholic men and women of
this city are of the unanimous
opinion that no city Of Louisvflle's
size and wealth should be without a
strictly modern and comfortable
boarding home for Catholic working
women. This most important sub
jest has been long and seriously
discussed, and realizing that such a
home, well equipped and affording
comfort and sheltering care under
the direction of the kind Sisters of
Mercy, is not only a bulwark~sH
strength to the Catholic opB8unity
and a convincing exponept of Cath.

Tfhis home will take the place of
the( Catholic Woman's Club estab-
lished some years ago, but which
w1s not accorded the support re-
qbired for such an institution. Re-
GENTLY the Sisters of Mercy, who
bave had wide experience in the
conduct of women's homes, took
full charge, and there is now every
reason to believe that the hopes of
iSs founders will be fully realized
aud that under the new charge the
institution, to be hereafter known
as the Visitation Home, will soon
become self-sustaining- Few appear
to realize the benefit such home
is to the young women of a city
like Louisville, and when its pur-
poses and work become generally
known its future should be assured.
Every Christian citizen should feel
pride in assisting the good Sisters
of Mercy ~ caring for the innocent

WAS AN EPISCOPAL MINISTER
BY James A. Rooney.


Many converts to the faith have
achieved distinction and won pre-
ferment without seeking it, and
among such the career of Monsignor
Thomas Scott Preston, the founder
of the Sisters of the Divine Com
passion, is a conspicuous example.
His spiritual children venerate his
name and they guard his earthly re-
mains in the mausoleum of their
chapel at White Plains, N. Y. '
He was born at Hartford, Conn,
July 23, 1924, of Protestant parents,
and being reared a Protestant, he
was honest in his belief that the
Protestant Episcopal church was a
true branch of the Catholic church
until he became convinced that he
was in error in this belief. BY the
grace OF God he arrived at this con-
clusion from his own deep study of
the history of the church and of the
fathers and that without reading
any distinctively Catholic books and
without even consulting any of his
many friends among the Catholic
priesthood. And as soon as he be-
came convinced of the truth of
Catholic doctrine and teaching he
recognized his obligati2A to accept
it. I

REAL BATTLER is
PUT IN CITY JAIL
Henry Smith of South Rock
Island Tries to Wreck Cell
at Station.

The police received a hurrup call
last night to a store on Seventeenth
street, between Second and Third av-
enues. When they arrived they found
five men holding down one Henry
Smith of South Rock Island. Smith
had entered the store in an intoxicat-
ed condition and after an argument
threatened to clean out the place
He was taken to the station and
placed in a cell. A friend of his came
in from South Rock Island shortly af-
ter his arrest explaining to the pol
ice that the man had wife and two
children. Arrangements were then
made to dismiss the case, and let him
go early in the morning but this was
not to be. Smith started to fight with
the other prisoners when allowed the
freedom of the corridor at the Jail,
and the police were forced to place
him in a separate cell. Here he prov
ed a regular bad man tearing loose a
closet in the cell and battering the
walls with the pipes. Several officers
placed him in a cell where there was
nothing to break. Here he raved for
two hours, till he finally fell asleep
from exhaustion.
