SHIP BANQUET
" A SUCCESS
MANY ENJOYED SPLENDID BAN
QUIET AT TEMPLE COURT
CAFETERIA FOLLOWED BY A
BRILLIANT PROGRAM - MRS.
DICKINSON TOASTMISTRESS.

The first Membership Banquet of
the Young Women's Christian Asso-
citation was held last Friday evening.
Notwithstanding the number Of other
affairs which were in progress that
evening, 40 were present and the time
not only flew rapidly but was greatly
enjoyed. The banqueters met first at
the Y. w. c. A., where music and the
Grand March were furnished by Mrs.
J. S. Flatland. A procession was form
ed and the way led to the Temple
Court Cafeteria. Both the Y. w. c. A.
rooms and the Cafeteria were decorat-
ed with Jubilee colors-light and dark
blue. Members Of the Board Of Direc.
tors and some of their friends waited
upon the tables. Their service and
the three well-prepared courses we're
greatly enjoyed. Mrs. E. o. Dickinson
acted as Toastmistress and in very
enthusiastic way opened and closed
the allegory, 1.-THE Story Of -Four"
which was carried out by the coasters.
The story exemplified the purpose of
the Young Women's Christian Asso-
citation, showing the necessity Of the
four-fold development. The following
was the program: go,
Jubilate''-Choral Club.
"Strong Body"-Pearl Smalwood.
"Keen Mind'-Mrs. w. P. Steven
son.
"Fellowship"-Helen Vandersluis.
"True Mind"-Mrs. S. J. LaDue.
Vocal Solo-Mabel Miller.
Address-Miss Clara I. Taylor,
Field Industrial Secretary.
Miss Taylor talked upon the Young
Women's Christian Association as
whole-whence it came. what it has
done, what it is, and what it will do.
The Jubilee Celebration thru the
month of February is not only to show
appreciation for the rapid advances in
the past and for members and friends
to understand more definitely the pur-
pose, but to get still clearer vision
of the future. The organization is
for all girls and women and is con-
Quoted entirely by them. 1t was first
organized in the United States lat Bos-
ton fifty years ago. Now there are 979
local organizations. It is not only
for the girls who live at home but for
the 2OOOOO,OO0 living away from home
and it is by and for girls in. all Of the
400 occupations open to women. Al
ways it is lettering conditions OF wo-
manhood in some particular way. Thru
the Y. w. C. A. women will. become
stronger physically, more mentally ef-
ficient, socially active and pure and
closer adherents to their own
churches

All Mas0ns Invited to Ball.

Arrangements have been completed

DeMolay Commandery at the Masonic
Temple Feb. II. The committee
wishes to make it clear that all Ma
sons and their ladies are invited to at
tend the ball, even tho they did not all
receive invitations. 1t was impossible
for the committee to ascertain the
names of all the members of the or
der. The Commandery ball will be the
most enjoyable social function held at
the Temple during the season.

coal and a car of food for each town
The train was headed by rotary
plow. At Ambrose the schools have
shut down. There is plenty of cars
loaded with coal at the mines, but the
snow has drifted under the cars and
the wheels have frozen to the tracks.
The railway companies are employing
hundreds of men to shovel the snow
which has blown under the cars, max
ing it hard to move them from the sid
ings. Between Minot and Williston
fully 500 shovelers are employed.

A SANITARY REGULATION.
ignorance.

Archbishop Mundelein, Of Chicago,
has issued letter directing the pas
tors of the archdiocese to announce
that, beginning with the month Of Oc-
tober, it will be necessary, for anyone
not of the Catholic faith, who is desir.
GUS of contracting marriage with q
Catholic, to take a course Of instruc.
lions touching the principal doctrines
and practices of the Catholic church.
The purpose of these instructions is
to give the mont Catholic party a cor
rect knowledge of what the church
teaches in regard to marriage and the
education of children and what obliga,
lions she imposes upon all her mem.
bers.
Such instructions will enable the
non-Catholic party to understand thor.
oughly the obligations which she as.
sumes, and will do away with much
of the misunderstanding and unhappi-
ness which so often arise from mar.
riages contracted in ignorance Of what
marriage is as Sacrament and what
are its sacred obligations.

The building and support of
parish schools means everything
to Church and State, 1t means
that the country will be safe in
the hands of the generation who
will follow us i'll guarding and
guiding its destinies. 1t means
that socialism and anarchy, those
alien enemies of true American
ism, will not find here lasting
dwelling place. 1t is these con-
siderations that make the true
Catholic willing to sacrifice SO
much to support the parish school.
He does it gladly for he is good
Christian and a good citizen. He
loves his God above all things and
loves his country with all his
heart.

THE MONTH OF OCTOBER.

Catholics should not overlook
the fact that the month of Octo-
Der is dedicated to the Mother of
God scarcely less solemnly than
the month of May, and we are
urged to make it the month of
the holy rosary by reciting the
rosary every evening or during
the course of the day.
While Catholics as a rule say
their beads very often, they of
course cannot say them too often
and unfortunately there are those
who call themselves Catholics
who never take a rosary in their
hands. A missionary recently
asked congregation of men how
many of them had rosaries in their
pockets to hold up their hands
md the percentage was very,
very small. His experience no
loubt could be duplicated in most
congregations and yet we should

BETTER STAY HOME.

A Jealous Methodist minister
from Belfast is trying to interest
some of his fellow preachers in
an effort to convert the people OF
Ireland to Methodism. We would
seriously advise him to forget it.
The Irishman is still proficient
with the wand of power planted
by the fairies along the hedges of
the roads in Ireland. Take our
word for it. and tits kindly meant,
a shillalah in the hands of an Irish
farmer is not to be sneezed at.
The good Diminie surely knows
that the days of famine are past
in Ireland. The Souper no longer
plies his dirty trade among a
starving people. The Irish are
serving God in the good old way
taught their forbears by the
Sainted Patrick and need no
Methodist minister to guide them.
The Irish are the purest, most
honest and most law abiding peo-
pie on earth. With her four mil
lions of people Ireland has less
crime in a year than any first
class American city will furnish
in a week. The good minister
should keep his brothers at home.
They may not do much good here
but they will be safe in the bosom
of their families.

ance to their brothers in the Isle
of Saints at a most opportune
time. 1t is through such women
as compose the Auxiliary that the
greater part of the work of Irish
history, music and literature is
preserved. The A. o. H. marked
an epoch in its history when they
made it possible to purchase a
complete Irish library, which
will be accessible to. everyone
who loves the beautiful literature
of the Irish race. All in all the
1916 state convention will be long
remembered by the two organiza-
tions, and the Irish Standard
takes this means of congratulate
ing the officers and members for
the good work accomplished.

"a Rabbi serving as a chaplain
in Flanders was one day asked
by dying French soldier to UNI
button his tunic and to hold the
Crucifix he was wearing so that
in his last moment his eyes might
rest upon that symbol of love I'M
to death. With fine humanity
the Jew held up for the comfort
of the dying man that which
stood for the condemnation of his
own people"

1t is not that honor and faith
and purity are so rare. They are
not. But we have studied so
much sociology and talked about
so many things we used to think
improper that we have befogged
the social atmosphere with scan
dial and unsavory facts until we
have persuaded ourselves that
happy, decent marriages are the
exceptional the very least are
commonplace and uninteresting.
Our stage and our novels have
not been slow to take the cue and
better their instruction. Ro-
mances that used to end with
happy marriages now begin with
unhappy ones, and by way Of
pretending to show us life drag
our thoughts through sewers.
We pay Our price for this roll
ing in the mud and romping in
impurity. The health and the
soundness of a community rest
on the sacredness of the home.
When we persuade ourselves that
the home is an Anticipated thing,
we make dingy the whole institu-
ton of marriage, we deny our
own better instincts and blush
when we should be proud. 1t is
an unclean atmosphere for young
folk to grow up in.
One of these days indignation
is going to have its turn with the
false prophets and the maudlin
poets and all the breed that ped
die immortality for gain. There
are many lions of this hour who
will not rest beneath honored
monuments. - The Milwaukee
Journal.

BEL1rTL1NG MARRIAGE.

I'm this age when clowns grow
famous by coarse jests on matri-
mony, when joke-papers thrive
on cartoons about the husbands
glee over his wife's vacation,
when divorce scots the air and
scandal taints the Skyline
so writes Jack Lait in the Chi
cago Herald. What a grimly
truthful picture he paints of our
present day handling of this in
stitution of marriage which our
ancestors thought was sacred. 1t
is a real refreshment, like the
breath of a clean wind from the
mountains or the sea, to find a
homely bit of decent, happy mar
ried life that is too proud to make
jest of itself.

THE 1916 BIENNIAL CON.
VENTION.

The officers of the Ancient Or
der of Hibernians and the Ladies'
Auxiliary of the state of Mime
sofa should receive the congratu-
lations of members of each divi-
sion in the state for the excellent
work performed in the past two
years and that the members have
appreciated the arduous duties of
the officers is very evident, for
practically every one was re-elect-
ed, as compliment for their ex-
cellent and faithful work per-
formed. The gathering, too, was
notable for the presence of true
and loyal members, men and
women, who are the bone and
sinew of the order, who labor con-
stantly for the welfare and good
of the cause without hope of re-
ward. These members, many of
whom are young, were there to
plan and legislate for greater
glory of the cause and the better
ment OF the order. Each officer
rendered a complete report of his
or her stewardship. The financial
and numerical standing was given
by the secretary and treasurer
and they showed the complete
standing of each county division.
During the past two years the
organizations have passe ID
through the most trying test of
its strength and endurance, In
which at times serious problems
relative to outside matters con-
fronted the order, but the officers,
capable men and women, they
are, steered the bark into placid
waters, and though Easter week
will always be memorable one
and remembered by every coming
state convention, still it will be
remembered that the officers of
this convention gave the assist

UNDIVIDED AND INDIVISI.
RIFE

An organ of the Reformed or
Calvinistic Church in Holland, the
"Heraut'' ("Herald'') makes this
striking commentary on the con-
trast between Catholicism and
Professionalism in the war of the
European nations:
"The Roman Church as a
Church is out of and above the
controversy which divides the
feelings and inspires the war-like
polemics of her members. What
soever represents the great unit
of Catholicity, whether in the
Papacy or in the Roman Epis-
copate of all nations, is in spirit
and utterance aloof from this di-
vergence of personal views. AS
World Church she stands above
it all, and holds her members
firmly united. She is spiritual
enough to lift all her members
out of even this worst of temporal
antagonisms; her unity has not
suffered any lesion. The Pope
speaks words of peace to all ma
tons, and not a few observers
look to him to be the final media
tor of peace.
"Whilst the war has broken
asunder all ties of social life, as
we'll as those of science and arts,
the Roman Church, and she alone,
has preserved her international
unity absolutely intact; she has
just given a brilliant proof of the
solidarity OF her organic life. In
contrast consider how Socialism,
one of whose essential dogmas is
the international solidarity of the
worlds toilers, has been shattered
to pieces by the war, whilst not
stone of the Roman world-arch
has been in the least degree loos-
ened. On the bitterest battlefelds
Catholics of the warning races
have mutually aided one another
in imparting and bestowing the
comforts of their common faith !;
whether wounded or not they
felt not the least survival of war;
like passion in presence of their
Church's call for mutual charity.
Consider, too, that the Pope was
able to assemble the Cardinals of
the various warning peoples
around his throne in the very
capital of one of the belligerent
nations to hold conference with
him upon the prospects of peace.
In presence of this spectacle we
Protestants can show very little
of this spirit of human brother
hood"

JEWISH RABBI AND DYING

Religion has been bankrupted

the war has been a great wave of
mysticism that at times seems
mere superstition. The best re-
ligious war news we have seen is
