As the two girls stood in the hall

her slender cousin, and as she raised
her eyes to Constance the older girl
found herself understanding why men

| TALENTED LECTURER
MISS HENNEssY OF ALBANY,
NY, MADE SUCCESSFUL DEBUT
AS A PLATFORM SPEAKER-HAS
RELATIONS IN THE TWIN CIT
les.

From recent issue of "The Argus"
of Albany, N. Y, we learn that the
maiden lecture tour of Miss Katherine
A Hennessy of Madison Place in that
city, through the Middle West, was a
great success. Western New York,
Michigan and Wisconsin, made up the
first court who passed upon her pow
ers as platform speaker, and their
verdict was a flattering one The gen.
eral opinion was that her natural abil-
ity has found ideal expression in
lecture work, while her charming per-
sonality, her culture and the richness
of her voice made her a great favorite
with the audiences which she ad-
dressed.
Miss Hennessy is not unknown in
the world of letters which she entered
shortly after her graduation from the
Sacred Heart Convent, Kenwood, N.
Y. She has contributed to several
magazines and has made number of
translations from the French, one of
the most important being her transla-
ton Of Latter Day Converts" from
the French of Alexander Crosnier She
was honored with an appointment as
official translator for the Catholic En-
cyclopedia during the time of it's prep
aration.
Miss Hennessy is niece of P M.

of Mrs w. H. Donahue of Ridgewood

The Established Church of Scotland
1860, when the Scottish parliament
assembled in Edinburgh decided that
the Protestant Confession of Faith
should henceforth be the established
and only authorized creed of the
Scottish Kingdom The same Par
lament abolished papal jurisdiction,
and forbade the celebration or hearing
of Mass under penalty of death. At
the first General Assembly of the new
Reconstructed body held in December,
1860, the First Book of Discipline was
approved in which not only doctrinal
questions and the conduct of worship
were infinitely legislated for, but de-
tailed regulations were drawn up for
the election and admission of minis
tiers, and for their support on gen.
erous scale from the confiscated
revenues of the ancient Church. Scot
land was divided into ten ecclesias-
teal districts for each of which a
superintendent was appointed to
travel about, institute ministers, and
generally set the church in order.
Since then the established church has
claimed the adherence of the majority
of the inhabitants of Scotland.

PROPOSAL TO ERECT A MEMO
RIAL TO THE PRIEST-HISToRIAN
How HIS HISTORY CAME TO

They are proposing monument to
Father Lingard in England-Lingard,
the Irish priest-historian, whose name
alas, is too often forgotten by those
who ought to be most familiar with
it. 1--WE wonder" says the Manches-
ter (England) Catholic Herald, in
speaking of the proposed monument to
Lingard, whether it should really be
a figure in stone, or a new edition of
his history, which seems to have gone
out of print"
Lingard was one of the great writ
ers who were indebted to accident for
a publisher. To Mawmar's printing
house the priest-historian, as yet un-
blazoned by renown, sent his manu-
script. Flung into a drawer for that
kind of consideration that generally
ends in rejection, it remained I'M

Christianity teaches that the grandeur
Of mans origin and the nobility of his
destiny constitute his true dignity, and
these things are identical for all men.
Favoring fortune only confers pass
ing power, the master of today may
be the servant of tomorrow; but
natures law gives rooted rights which
never can be eradicated.
Sad to say, the governments of to-
day retain too much of the complexion
of the governments of the past, organ
lied to guide a people, emerging from
barbarism, in countries where gen.
erous nature spontaneously supplied
nearly all mans immediate needs, or
where herds furnished his food and
drink, and manufactured hides, his
clothing. "In the march of progress"
says Carlyle, 1--WE must some day,
at least, and forever cross the border
line of nonsense into the field of COM
mon sense, when government shall be
machine of protection, rather than
an engine of destruction" In this age
of almost universal peace, the activi-
ties of a government would seem to
be best employed in fostering indus
tries that would bring comforts to it's
people In America-rich, beyond COM
parison, in resources, and bountiful,
indeed, to the Industrious, but harsh
in it's treatment of the slothful and
improvident- the government that will
retain the loyalty of the people must
be dominated by sense of justice
which will give to those whose labor
most directly contributes towards the
production of the necessities and COM
forts of life, an equitable share in the
things they produce. The laborer of
today, wise in his generation, no
longer seeks, Living Wage, by com
petition in individualism, but by in
dividuality in cooperation, and legis-
lation should foster his effort as the
best and most efficient means of secur-
ing peace and prosperity for all.
