of business men had neglected their pri-
vate affairs, for an equal period social
engagements were disregarded or side
tracked for that length of time &C
churches had closed their doors. their
pastors had devoted the bulk of their
time to advancing the work of campaign
and during all those days, Rev. Billy
Sunday. the baseball evangelist, had talk
ed and prayed, sweated and pranced about
the platform. besought and entreated the
sinners, tiayed with scalding invectives
every sort Of wickedness and endeared
himself personally to multitudes who
either had been openly, or covertly, antag-
onistic. Under the spell Of this oratory
and the persuasive influence Of his CO.
workers, all manner of men were made to
take a new view Of life. City and county
officials, saloon keepers and professors,
society women and shop girls, school chill
dren and an avowed agnostics, stood up
and said I publicly accept Jesus Christ
as my personal Savior
There were held IS tabernacle meetings,
at all but two of which Mr.. Sunday spoke.
"At these meetings there were present
between 10000 and one million people.

Wilbur r. Armstrong Of the South
Bend Tribune, who observed the en-
tire campaign, makes the following
comment:
III the Creator had seen At to make 50
Billy Sundays simultaneously instead OF
but one, / am frmly OF the opinion tnat
the army Of Christianity would shortly
become the most formidable organization
the world has ever known That number
of evangelists Of the Billy Sunday type
with his organization behind them could
revolutionize the world big as 1t is. The
baseball evangelist is undoubtedly the
most remarkable preacher of his age and
the whole truth in regard to the effective
work he is doing never has. and proba-
bly, never will be known. Much of the
benefits of a Sunday campaign are buried
In the young boy, the young girl, the
home society and business and the gen
eral public will never be able to secure
all the facts and it is notsnecessary.
BILLY Sunday undoubtedly has as many
true trlends ana as many oIllel enemies
as any man in America today. His friends
know him largely through his unusual
work, and his enemies know him as a de-
stroyer of their particular business or
an enemy Of their particular acts, or they
are totally ignorant Of the man. Some
Of his most bitter opponents in South
Bend would not have gone near one OF
his meetings for S., 900, much as they love
gold. 1t made them purple In the face
If they were so much as invited to his
tabernacle, so afraid were they that they
might change their opinion Of him. The
best estimate of the baseball evangelist
have ever heard was made by Joseph D.
Oliver, Indiana'o pillow magnate. He said
There is nothing better in men than Billy
Sunday himself, and few things worse
than his imltators.'

CATHOLIC FEDERATION.

The regular meeting of the
Catholic Federation was we'll at
tended and interesting, President
CAM and all officers being present.
One of the most important matters
discussed was the appointment of a
committee to visit the various hotels
and arrange for the placing OF fold
ers therein containing the location
OF the Catholic churches and the
hours for the different masses.
Through John A. Doyle an invita-
tion was received to attend the lee
ture of Peter Collins on the menace
of Socialism. The Federation in
dorsed the action of its officers in
sending kilograms to Kentucky's
Senators and Representatives in
Congress protesting against the
passage of the immigration bill. At

IGNORANCE OR BIGOTRY.

Mrs. James A. Leach, who. seeks
notoriety in the woman suffrage
movement, has recently returned
from Europe, where she mixed with
the Pankhursts and other militants.
After giving her views on the status
of women in foreign countries to
the Herald, Mrs. Leach takes a
crack at ireland and home rule, say
ing:
81 am not in favor of home rule,
and do not believe 1t will ever be
brought about in Ireland. Thousands
OF people who do not live in Ulster
are bitterly opposed to it on the
grounds that it will mean Catholic
domination and the unbearable bur-
den of increased taxation. The ma
jority Of people in Ireland are
aainst home rule. They think it is
only a scheme to place John Red
mond and T. P. O'Connor in power.
| have never seen anything like the
organization Of the people who are
determined to fight home rule.
Women as we'll as men have signed
the covenant, pledging them to sup
port at all costs the union with
Parliament. Glasses in first aid to
the injured are being held, groups
of women are being taught to make
soldiers clothes, and every evidence
of the earnestness of the Protestant
forces is being given"
Mrs. Leach gave a few sentences
to Premier Asquith, saying that he
is one of the most unpopular men in
England, that he has broken his
promises right and left, and is alto
gether unfit for the high office he
holds. She was in Ireland but a
short time and has neither facts nor
figures for her absurd statements.
Mrs. Leach evidently thinks she
thinks, and it is more charitable to
believe that her effusion results from
ignorance Of ireland rather than
bigotry.

BEAUTIFUL CEREMONY.

Last Sunday st. Louis Bertrand's
church was a scene OF beauty and
splendor, the occasion being the sill
yer Jubilee of the pastor, the Very
Rev. Thomas McGovern, o. p. The
high altar was beautifully decorated
with lilies and palms and lighted
with numerous candles. Before the
services began the large church was
crowded with the parishioners and
many friends of the pastor. The
solemn high mass began at 10:30
o'clock, the very reverend pastor be-
ing the celebrant. The Rev.
Antoninus EMS, who was also a
jubiliarian, was the deacon, and the
Right Rev. Bishop O'Donaghue was
present in the sanctuary. The ser
mon was preached by Very Rev. d.
]. Kennedy, o. p, s. F. NJ, pro-
fessor of the Catholic University at
Washington, d. @.
In his sermon Father Kennedy
spoke of the dignity and power of
the Catholic priesthood, showing
that it is the only true priesthood of
Jesus Christ. Father Kennedy went
on to explain that by reason Of his
ordination a priest has charge over
the natural and the mystical body of
Christ. When in the offering of the
sacrifice of the mass he changes the
bread and wine into the body and
blood of Christ he exercises power
greater than that of the angels. And
for the people he performs the most
sacred offices when in baptizing he
regenerates their souls, when in
penance he cleanses them from sin,
when in matrimony he joins them
by fndivisible union, and finally
when in extreme JUNCTION he pre-
pares the soul to go forth to meet its
Creator. In conclusion he paid a
high tribute to the untiring zeal of
Father McGovern and recounted the
great work he did in his twenty-five
years of ministerial labor in Mem
phis, GAINESVILLE, Columbus, New
York, and last but not least in Louis
Vile. The mass ended with benedic-
ton of the blessed sacrament, after
which the clergy repaired to the
convent, where banquet was
served. Among those present were
