 Tn the few words that He spoke we have the rules by which society is gov- erned, love thy God and love thy neighbor as myself. He knows the hearts of all, and no one ever spoke as he spoke. Today we follow the words that he spoke 1900 years ago and do well to venerate the sacred name of Jesus Christ. for no one ever spake as he spake, Mind and heari must both be given to him. for loving us he can do what no one else can do he can fulhll his promises.
 In conclusion the preacher referred to the power for the veneration of the name of Jesus that the half million members of the Holy Name society car wield, calling the organization one O, the greatest of all societies because none other is it's head than Jesus Christ himself.

 Yours fraternally,
 REV. w. A. KEEFE.
 Within the past few years the or- der of the Knights of Columbus has emphasized most forcibly, through its leaders and in its national and state assemblies. the great importance which they attach to the formation of lecture bureaus in every state in which (he organization is established, with a view of inspiring the members with greater zeal for the extension of the principles of the order and the dissemination of a broader know1- edge amongst those outside the ranks, of the high purposes for which the or der of the Knights. of Columbus stands. Probably no fratefnal organization has had it's objects more often mis- stated and its membership more mali ciously criticised than has this pro- gressive order which was founded in the city of New Haven little more than 30 years ago and now has @ membership of more than. 100000 and is established in practically. every States, in Canada, Mexico and our in- sular possessions in the Philippine is- lands. Hence the conception of the necessity for the organization of lee. ture bureaus in every state as means to counteract this widespread feeling of hostility which it was believed ex- isted, to some extent, because of gs lack of knowledge of the underlying principles which the order was found ed to promote.
 Here in Connecticut, under the di- rection of Rev. W. A. Keefe state lecturer, and with the cooperation and assistance of the state officers, State Deputy William J. Mulligan and Johr M. Lee, master of the fourth degree the work has been pushed systematic- ally and vigorously, with the result that Connecticut has stood in the front rank of the states of the union thai have rallied to the support of the na. tional officers in their efforts to in. augurate an educative campaign thai would be far reaching in it's infiuenct and it's results.
 This announcement by the state lecturer can be taken as evidence o1 his intention to place the lecture movement in Connecticut on a broad. scope during the present year and tt that end he has enlisted the interes of number of priests in the diocese as well as several prominent 1aymen who have consented to give their ser. vices to the Connecticut lecture bu reau in it's great work of education The programme for 1916 is outlined by Father Keefe is one that will un, doubtedly receive the support of tn, entire membership in Connecticut anl the public at large may be expected to give endorsement to a movemen so truly peaceful and patriotic in itl object
