Rev. /. J. O'Hern Addresses
Employees Of the Government
Printing Office.
SERVICES AT LUNCH HOUR

Love and loyalty-love of country
and loyalty to her every interest was
defined as patriotism by Rev. DIR. Lewis
J. O'Hern. c. s. p. of st. Paul's Col
lege. Catholic University of America. in
an address at the Thanksgiving eXer-
cises at noon today at the government
printing Office
The exercises were held on the
massive marble stairway of the big
print shop and were attended by all
the employees. who munched their
lunches during the speeches and sing.
ing by the choir.
AS to this definition Of patriotism the
speaker said further: Love tender as
that of a son for his mother. strong
as an army set in array; loyalty, gen
erous and disinterested, shrinking
from no sacrifice, seeking no reward
save the nations honor and the coun-
try's good
Patriotism Binding Duty.
Father O'Hern said it is not a matter
of mere sentiment, but duty binding
in conscience, impelling to faithful
service. 1T is the very essence of UNI
selfshness. for the patriot puts aside
his own interest when the welfare OF
his country Is at stake
The address was opened by the
speaker in congratulating the en-
ployes of the place on the magnificent
object lesson they were Offering the
community of obedience to the voice
of "our chief executive" in assembling
there today. For it is in response to
the proclamation of his excellency, the
President of the United States, that
you are gathered here to render thanks
to God for the manifold blessings re-
dividuals and as nation he said.
And after all how fitting thing. is it
not, that our President should set
apart one day out of the three hundred
and siXty-f1ve on which to render
thanks to Him from whom all bless
ings flow? And if so. should not each
one of US respond heartily to that APP
peal and cry out from the bottommost
depths Of our hearts, with the royal
psalinist: What shall l render to the
Lord for all the things that He hath
rendered unto me?"
Continuing Father O'Hern said: He
has given US all. What are we but
mere beggars who have been clothed
from His wardrobe. and fed from His
table? All we possess has come from
Him. The talents He has given US,
the food we eat. the water we drink,
the glad sunshine in which we bask,
the pure air we breathe, the happiness
and contentment that have come to US
in life. They all belong to Him. God
has lent them to US. How fitting then
that we should return thanks for every
blessing, great or small.
Should Be Thankful for Peace.
Last and greatest of all, we should
be thankful that We are at peace, in

In his address Mr.. Wolf said, in part:
Prejudice still exists. IL is true. but
as President Wilson in my year book
so truthfully said. Prejudice is provin-
cial: truth and justice go hand in hand
in this blessed country So. while here
and there the Pickering light of the
medieval lamp tries to ignite into a
higher fame differences of faith or pol
itics or nationalities, we can be per-
fectly confident that, as the years go
on, the evolution of science and the
spirit of international commerce will
bring about the solution of all our
problems. and hand in hand with each
other. striving for a common goal, we
will illustrate to the world that the
recognition of all men on basis OF
equality is the only form of govern
ment that should be permitted to exist
We do not fully appreciate the OPP
portunities this great republic Offers
not because we are Jews or Christians.
but because we are Americans who
have been inspired by the lcftiest con-
ceptions of duty. and thus men OF our
iaith. as Americans. have been in the
forefront in every walk of civic life.
IL would be carrying coal to New
castle to recount the names of the
men and women who have glorified the
nation by virtue of their work their
intellectual and moral merit and who
stand today among the foremost in the
Walhalla of Americas great men and
women. and nearly all OF them are
either migrants direct or the descend
ants of such.
