Unlike other years there was nc
clerical speaker but Father Farley
spoke briefly when opening the ex-
ercises, reciting what the societies
were formed primarily for and the
pledges Holy Name men take when
they become affiliated with the or
ganization. Father Farley heaped
praise on the men for the excellent
turnout.
ut is striking protest against
blasphemy and indecent language"
commented the priest. The rector re-
cited a Holy Name prayer against the
taking of the Lords name in vain,
the throngs repeating the words after
him.
1T is altogether fitting and proper
that Holy Name societies should
make this public act of faith before
the world" began Judge Mylod in
his talk.
Faith Not Death.
Those marching thousands" he
continued, every man of whom is
pledged to avoid blasphemy and i'm
modest language and to honor the
name of God with his lips and in his
heart, are a living testimony that
faith is not dead yet in the hearts of
the people.
This is essentially a religious cele-
bration, but it has also a patriotic
character. Religion and patriotism
go hand and hand. 1t is a religious
celebration if for no other reason be-
cause thousands of Catholics de-
voutly assist at benediction and kneel
in love and alteration. 1t is pa
triotic celebration from the stand
point that it inculcates faith in God
and in His works and stimulates man
to achieve the highest form of moral
our government.
falling away from religion and that
prayer and religion are only practiced
by women and children; that men, as
rule, scott at religion and are more
and more inclined to blaspheme God's
name. That may be true of some
people, but our reply to the charge Is
the marching thousands in our Holy
Name parades, men who are willing
to stand up and be counted as men
who go to mass on Sundays and who
bow their heads and bend their knees
In earnest worship of the Son of God,
and who believe that it is manly to
yield obedience to God and His law.
Coward SCOTS at Religion"
ut is the strong and great" con-
tinued Judge Mylod, who pray and
place their trust in God and respect
His holy name; the coward and the
weakling who SCOTS at prayer and
religion; the man who is deficient in
mental capacity and the power of ex-
preston who blasphemes the most sa-
cred of all Names
ITO the Holy Name Society mem
bers,' he said, 'let me say to you
that, as members of society pledged
to keep from blasphemy and improper
language yourselves, and SO far as
you can to prevent these vices in
others, you should strive earnestly to
live up to the lofty principles of your
society and should exert yourselves
energetically to extend its benefit to
persons not of our fold.
The world has learned to know
what the Holy Name Society repre-
sents,' he continued, "and it is there
fore, more than ever before the duty
of the individual member by the clean
illness of his speech and of his daily
life to vindicate the principles for
which this society stands and for
which 1t has stood since it's institution
in the sixteenth century.
THE way to build up and perpetu-
ate such a society so that it will be-
come an overpowering fact capable of
accomplishing its ultimate purpose is
