you live in Republic where there
is liberty without license, and author
ity without despotism; and where the
civil rulers hold over you the aegis
of it's protection without interfering
with the God-given rights of con-
science.
In view of the signal blessings you
enjoy, it is your duty to take an active,
personal, vital interest in the welfare
of your country. You should glory in
her prosperity, and be concerned at
every adversely that may befall her.
You should hold up the arms of those
who are charged with the administra-
ton of public affairs, as the children
of Israel held up the hands of Moses
while he interceded for them before
the Lord.
Religion Demands FeaIty.
THE inspired word of God enjoins
this loyalty to country and reverence
for it's rulers. The religion you pro-
fess demands this fealty. The consti-
tutions of your respective societies up
hold it; and | am sure that there is
not single fiber of your heart which
does not pulsate with genuine, undi-
vided love for the Republic and its
sacred traditions.
Il venture to say that every mem
Der of your society is a loyal citizen.
Every citizen patriot; every patriot
soldier: ever soldier a hero, and
every hero would be martyr, to die
if need be for his country.
There are some pessimistic proph-
cts who are in the habit of predicting
the downfall of our Republic. They
are more frequently heard on the eve
of presidential election. | have
been listening to these dire forebod-
ings for over so years, but on the
morning after election we find the
prophets sounded false alarm, that
the country is safe and that the gov.
ernment is transacting business at the
same old stand.

and Profession took place at the Con
vent of the Good Shepherd in this city,
three young ladies receiving the white
habit of the Order, one novice making
her first Profession and two their final
vows as Religious of the Good Shep-
herd.
s The deep interest evinced by the
spectators who thronged the galleries
and other available space in the beau
tiful chapel, the soul-inspiring music
and the discourse of the Reverend B5r-
nard Feeney, delegated to represent
the Most Reverend Archbishop Ireland
on the occasion, added much to the
solemnity of the ceremony.
At two o'clock the community en-
tered the chapel in solemn procession
to the strains of the Ave Maris Stella"
which was sung in full chorus. The
candidates, in bridal robes, entered

cut flowers sent by the relatives and
friends of the young ladies about to re-

Each of the candidates, as she knelt
before the altar, was presented with
a lighted candle, symbolic of the celes-
tial light of the divine call to which
she was responding.
At the conclusion of the exhortation
which followed the singing of the
"Veni Creator" the young ladies again
advanced to the altar to give express
sion to their ardent desires of receiv'
ing the religious habit. They then

OF the Somme-Thiepval and the Leipzig
redoubt-are slowly being won by the
British.
Despite the utmost efforts of the Teu-

two vital sectors, Gen. Haig's territorial
troops not only are repuIsing all Ger
man attacks, but are steadily increasing
their gains.
They have won a further 400 yards Of
trenches along the Thiepval-Courcelott
road and, despite the great concentration
of German troops in the neighborhood,
have further pressed in both east and
southwest of MouQuet farm.
The Prussian guard, proudest corps Of
the Fatherland. has been sent to the
threatened front, but despite their most
desperate efforts, have been unable to
win hack any of the important terrain
which has been taken in the British ad-
vance, according to a report from Gen.
Haig.
To the support of these wonderful fight
ing men, great masses of German artil-
lery have been brought up and bonn
