With impressive ceremony, the
Right Reverend Thomas S. Byrne,
Bishop of Nashville, Tenn, solemnly
dedicated the new Cathedral Of the
Incarnation on Sunday, July 26. The
ceremony was witnessed by several
Bishops from the neighboring do
ceses, large number of priests, and
a great concourse of the laity.
After the dedication ceremony Pom
tifical Mass was celebrated by Bishop
Byrne in the new Cathedral and the

Reverend Bishop Schrembs Of Toledo.
The celebration was brought to close
in the evening with Pontifical Yes

Right Reverend Bishop Byrne Off

well, supreme lecturer. On May Is,
1882, this supreme committee granted
charter to the first subordinate
council which was located in the state
of Connecticut, and named San Saliva
dor No. l. From this time on sub
ordinate councils were organized in
cities and towns throughout Connecti-
cut, but it was not until April 10, 1885,
that the order was extended beyond
the borders of the parent state, when
subordinate council was established
at Westerley, R. l., under the name
of Narragansett Council No. 21.
The supreme committee then enact
ed a law providing that a supreme
council should be established, COM
posed of the supreme committee and
delegates from subordinate councils,
each council being entitled to one dele
gate for every fifty members. The
number of delegates under this ar
rangement proving too large, the SUI
preme council, on May IA, 1886, re-
solved itself into a board of govern
ment, composed of the board of di-
rectors, formerly the supreme COM
mittee, and the grand knight and a
past grand knight of each subordinate
council of the society.
Owing to the rapid growth of the
society the board of government, in
1892, provided for the organization
of state councils, composed of two
delegates for each subordinate coun-
ell in the state On April 20, 1898,
the board of government was succeed
ed by the national council, composed
of the state deputy and last past state
deputy of each state council, and by
one delegate from every one thou
sand members of the insurance class.
In October, 1898, associate members
were first admitted to the order The
establishment of the associate class
was intended fqr those advanced, in
years or unable to pass a physical ex-
animation, but has been gradually eX-
tended to comprehend all eligible men
not desiring the insurance feature.

BOARD VOTED TO AL
Low THE PUBLISHERS OF THE
CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA TO
ISSUE A SPECIAL X. OF C. EDI-
TON FOR SALE TO KNIGHTS
AND THEIR FRIENDs-sET WILL
COST $29.

The National Board of the knights
of Columbus, at it's meeting prior to
the convention, voted to allow the
Encyclopedia Press to issue a special
Knights of Columbus edition of the
Catholic Encyclopedia to be sold to
the knights and their friends.
The Rev. John J. Wynne, s. T., as
sociate editor of the Catholic Encyclo-
pedia appeared before the Board, and
on behalf of the Encyclopedia Press,
offered to put this special; edition of
the Catholic Encyclopedia on the mar.
ket at cost of $29 for the fifteen
volumes and the Index. It is the
intention of the Board of Editors to
print an edition of about $4,000 copies.
The issuing of this K of c. edition
of the Catholic Encyclopedia is in
keeping with the work of the organi.
zation which already has issued large
editions of two of DIR. Walsh's most
important books at cost which brings
them within the reach of many who
would otherwise be unable to procure
them. The Knights of Columbus de
serve the commentator and support
of every Catholic worthy of the name
for this latest evidence of their activ.
ity in promoting the spread of Cath
Ollie literature, in order that the laity
may become thoroughly conversant

Church and be able to give reasons fol
the faith that is in them when they
are questioned by those who are not
of the fold

THE DREAM OF
FATHER MAR QUETTE
AN ORIGINAL POEM READ BY
THE HONORABLE WILLIAM
LOUIS KELLY AT THE FOURTH
DEGREE BANQUET IN THE ST.
PAUL HOTEL, ST. PAUL, MIMI,
AUGUST 8, 1914.

Two hundred and forty-one years
ago, or about July II, A. D. 1878, a
little band of fearless men, seven in
number, pushed their canoes from be-
tween the wooded banks of the Illinois
River into and upon the broad-breasted
Mississippi.
Led by Jacques Marquette, mission
ary priest of the Society of Jesus,
with no other guard than the cross
and the calumet, they were to push
their way down those unknown waters
for countless miles to carry the glad
tidings of salvation to the children
of men-though the outcome be un-
known and the men savage. A far
more able and eloquent tongue than
mine will tell you the story | will
try to sing of the river, although it
did not lead as Marquette was told it
would to the South Seattle Pacific
Ocean.
A historian says simply: "The
dream of Father Marquette's life was
accomplished; he was on the great
river of the West to which he gave
the name of the Immaculate Concep-
tion.''
When the fiat of God Ger the waters
first rang,
This river, Immaculate, cleaved its
way to the sea,
Singing the songs that the Morning
Stars sang,
With promise of life to you and to me.
AS old as the ages, as young as today,
A shield for the weak, a sword for the
just
Dividing these states, yet in times of
the fray,
A bond of true unity, in Gods name
we trust.
The Redman had called thee Father OF
Waters
Immaculate Conception" named thee
Father Marquette
Pathway of Peace, to mems sons and
mems daughters,
Strong arm of God cross the con
tinent set.
Thy message was spoken thro' ages
/ eternal,
And as long as the Cross DER thy
bosom shall shine,
Coming from Calvary's story supernal
All of it's marvellous beauties are thine
River Immaculate, roll on in thy glory
Roll on till the rounds of the OLD
earth shall cease!
Across the wide Cult. through th'
Locks with its story,
Till thy waters commingle with th'
i Ocean of Peace!

MASS AT THE CATHEDRAL

EMN PONTIFIcAL MASS cELE-
BRATED BY BISHOP LAWLER-
SERMON BY THE MOST REvER-
END ARCHBIsHoP-A SPLENDID
AssEMBLAGE OF DELEGATES
AN IMPRESSIVE SCENE.
The formal opening of the National
Convention of the Knights of Colum-
bus took pace on Tuesday morning
with the celebT alton of Pontifical
High Mass in tie Cathedral of St.
Paul. Seldom has the venerable edi-
flee been thronged with a larger or a
more distinguished congregation than
that which it held on this occasion
when the delegates from every land
in which the order is established, to-
gether with their friends and we'll
wishers, assembled before it's altar to
invoke heavens blessing upon their
deliberations. In d few weeks the
old Cathedral will yield place to a
business structure; but the remem-
brance of the scene within it's walls
last Tuesday will not soon be forgotten
by those who witnessed it. It was a
splendid gathering of distinguished
men from every walk of 1ife-the
flower of the Catholic laity.
In e.
ton the high altar was banked with
palms and flowers and aglow with
Pickering tapers. The celebrant of
the Mass was the Right Reverend
Bishop Lawler who was assisted by
the Rev. J. G. O'Hara as assistant
priest, Rev. w. A. DAILY as deacon,
and the Rev. L. J. Gleason as, sub
deacon. The Rev. A. Ziskovsky of
st. Paul Seminary, was master of
ceremonies. The Archbishop occupied
the throne and was attended by
Father Gibbons and Father Jung.
The Right Reverend Bishop Fallon OF
London, Ont, and a number of priests
were seated inside the sanctuary rail.
Many other priests were present in
the congregation. The sixty members
of the knights of Columbus Choral
Club of ST. Louis, Mo-, stationed in
the choir, sang the Mass.
After the singing of the Gospel the
Most Reverend Archbishop ascended
the pulpit and preached the sermon,
which will be published in full in next
wppk'c iccl1n of Tho Totbo1io D,,1Io+;r
At the conclusion of the Mass the
vast congregation filed out of the
Cathedral and the delegates proceeded
to the Knights of Columbus Hall
where the first business session of
the convention was called to order by
the Supreme Knight, James A. Fla
herty of New Haven, Conn.

in which he welcomed the representa-.
tives of this great Catholic organiza,

pressed the hope that their sojourn
would be both pleasant and profitable
The response was made by the Su-
preme Knight, who thanked Mayor
Powers for his warm words of vel
come and assured him that they were
| already convinced of the truth of
what they had heard about the hos
pitality of this fair city.
The real work of the convention
began in the afternoon. The proceed

Supreme Chaplain, Rev. M. J. McGiv-

The first business before the con-
vention on Wednesday morning was
the election of four national direc-
tors to take the place of those whose
terms expire on September l.. The
present incumbents were reelected.
Other business of interest to the or
der was transacted and then the dele
gates adjourned and went in a body
to view the new Cathedral of st. Paul.
The delegates continued their busi-
ness sessions on Wednesday after
noon and all day Thursday, final ad-
journment being taken on Thursday

A trial of the greatest interest to
Knights of Columbus and to the Cath.
olics of this country and of Canada
as well as to Catholics
among them, to none more than to
the small band of loud-mouthed bigots
who rail against the Church-was held
in Waterville, Minnesota, Wednesday,
July 29. This was an action Of crimi.
nal libel brought by e. NJ. Lawless,
editor of the "Waterville Sentinel"
against A. NJ. Morrison and G. E. Nor.
rison, father and son, editors and pub
fishers of the "Mankato Morning Jour
nal," of Mankato, Mimi. The libel
consisted in the charging Of LaWless
with having taken the bogus Knights
of Columbus oath, which has been so
largely circulated in this country and
in Canada during the past year and
a half. We will not attempt to re
produce this oath, but suffice it to say
that it has been published as the
Knights of Columbus oath and as the
Fourth Degree oath, and is, in letter
and insinuation, one of the foulest
libels imaginable. 1t is in some re
spects a revamp of the old hoax which
has for many years passed muster in
the press of bigots as the Jesuit oath.
Obligation Put in Evidence.
The outcome of this trial is of more
than local interest. 1t is of national
and international Importance. The
Knights of Columbus have often been
accused of taking an alleged oath

which, if the charge were true, would
forever condemn them to the merited
execration of their fellow men. But
this was the first time that an individ-
ual knight was directly charged with
the offence. 1t furnished the order the
| first opportunity it has had to put the
real obligation of the Fourth Degree
| in evidence and make it a matter of
court record which any citizen may
read for himself Herein lies the i'm
portance of the case which establishes
a precedent in the history of the order
Knights of Columbus and Catholics
generally have been astounded at the
conditions which make possible the
publication and circulation by millions
of copies of this foul libel. Well mean
ing nonCatholics have been shocked
by these accusations against Catholic
men and Knights of Columbus whom
they knew to be broad-minded, high
minded citizens and ideal neighbors.
The bigots working in the darkness as
of old, have pressed on the accusation
and argued that if the oath was not
true, the Knights of Columbus would
soon, by prosecution or otherwise,
prevent it's further circulation. The
Menace, of Aurora, Mo-, the mouth
piece of the rejuvenated A. P. A., sold
this "oath' in vast quantities. Some
of our late-born societies with high
sounding names and alleged patriotic
purposes have been most active in the
printing and circulation of this bogus
oath.
Not Noticed by the Press.
The trial above referred to is in
reality the third public trial and by far
the most important of all; yet, we
cannot help noting with surprise and
regret, that the public press did not
deem it worthy of much notice, al
though it. concerned a libel that had
been so widely circulated and which
affected an organization of three hun
dred and thirty thousand men. A
scandalous divorce trial in the small
est city seems to find ample space
in the press Of the entire country
through some medium of news service,
and yet this important trial received
scant notice and scantier space from
a press which loves to boast Of it's
impartiality in the prominence it gives
to important news.
A Sensational Trial.
The fact is that the trial was a most
sensational one from many points of
view. 1t was presided over by Judge
George J. Dressed The district at
torney who prosecuted the case was
Francis J. Hanzel of Montgomery,
prosecuting attorney for lie Sueur
| County, who was assisted by Attorney
Hessian of lie Sueur. The defendants
were represented by Owen Morris, of
st. Paul. The small country court
room was crowded to the very limits
of it's capacity, and the spectators
filled every available inch Of space,
having come in from the surrounding
country to hear the case tried A
jury was finally selected, and it is of
more than passing Importance and
matter of qualification to the order,
as it is compliment to him, that
the Rev. Thomas Billing, the resident
Methodist minister of the town, was
chosen on the jury and was not chal-
lenged by the complainant, and as the
result showed, must have voted with
the other eleven men to convict the
