Certainly all our interest in social
hetterment Is needed at this time. be-
cause no generation ever needed II more.

bishop Hickey's Sermon.

Bishop Hickey's Sermon.
IN his sermon Bishop Hickey spoke in
part as follows:
What to-day are tho serious n
Threatening forces that are opposing the
Church-the kingdom of Christ?
They are. first. the tendency to do
away with positive belief-the teaching
that dogma Is unimportant n an un-
necessary burden on the intellect. We
answer that the days OF dogma are not
over because the days Of Jesus Christ
are not over. and that each and both will
ndure to tho end.
secondly. the attractions OF worldly
gain n possessions the allurements OF
pleasure so often tinged or filled with
sin and vice-the unwillingness to make
sacrifices. the desire for ease and COM
fort.
Thirdly. there Is that fearful blow
At the family life In the assumption Of
our courts to dissolve the marriage tie.
Tho statistics of divorce In the United
States are nothing less than appalling,
while against all this stands the edict
4, OF Christ for the in~dissolubllity OF mar
riage.
Then comes the propaganda against
our social order and even government.
whose appeal rests so often on class
hatred or on a reckless jealousy that
pulls down and destroys. Into this
movement men are led to their personal
loss In religious life and to the detri-
ment Of society and government.
. To-day We meet In this magnificent
temple to beg Gods blessings on q con-
structive movement In the Church. With
. solemnity seldom equalled representa-
tives Of Holy Mother Church from the
humble layman to the Cardinal Prince

earth.

pertinent questions. with answers In each
case ~ seem hitting to US.
What Is the scope and purpose OF the
Catholic Federation? Is It necessary or
useful? Is It doing the work? How can
the organisation be made more powerful
and secure?
II may answer FIRST by stating that

aim. for every Catholic institution is
fundamentally constructive. Neither In

truth against the attacks OF the enemy.
Should we. can we remain inactive
and almost Indifferent when we know
that there are IN the world to-day
mighty forces at work against truth and
morals? Perhaps a brief survey OF the
conditions OF Dur day may give en-.
phasls to this statement and appeal.

Evils Of the stage and the press were
denounced by Cardinal Farley In strong
terms.
Besides the school," said he. "there
are two other agencies In which the
tendencies Of the age are reflccted--the
theatre and tho press. In the minds
OF many men who have the interests
Of the public at heart tho theatre has
departed from the best traditions Of the
dramatic profession and begun. openly
In some cases. TO pander to lower tastes.
"This In due to tho loose moral con-
v~ictions Of the times. and also TO the
fact that people Of floating belief and
practice patronize plays that deal with
in~decency. The officers and members
OF the federation have done a good work
In trying TO correct this evil. not only
by not lending the appreciation Of their
presence but also by taking positive
steps to have the competent authorities
put such public indencies under the ban.
There is also a freedom Of language

than Is now to some extent the fashion.
