DEATHS
ROPER.

The sad news of the death of little
Philips Olga Roper, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Roper, has reached
the home of the grandparents, Mr.,
and Mrs. S. J. Roper, of this place.
The death occurred on September
at the home of the parents at Edna,
Texas. The child was five months and
nine days old
No hand can point, or tongue can
speak, the sorrow that the going out
of this little life has caused. But
when Jesus reached down his arms of
love and lifted little Phillis Olga from
this dark world, where for the last few
hours she had suffered so much, and
carried her safely through the open
portals of glory, We could only say,
'Thy Will be done
The little body was laid to rest
September 5 in the cemetery at Edna.
May God bless the broken hearted
parents, and help them to realize that
death is only Dream and that in
reality the dear little Flower that
budded on earth had only done 50 TO
bloom in heaven. May their faith be
sufficient to enable them to look to the
future, when
That much loved form which they
now deplore,
Shall rise in full immortal prince,
And bloom to fade no more"

PRIEST COMPLIED

An Australian professor who has
just reached London, after internment
in Germany since the war began,
vouches for a most interesting mis-
calculation of tho German govern
ment In trying to Influence irish
prisoners to desert the British flag
and become traitors to the ally cause.
After the failure of Sir Roger Case
liient to accomplish that despicable
design, German government officers
seeking to make atocl OF an Irish,
priest, Father 'rc. Y, dr. .hieye ! s.
same end, requested him 10 speak at
mast from the altar a word of authori
ty on the subject"
Father Crotty willingly complied
with the request. Men of Connaught,'
he began, "the German emperor
wants you to fight on his side. Some
people have been telling you that 1t
IS the thing to do, and l have been
asked to do the same" Then in furth
CT explanation, he added: IT was
sent to you by his holiness the pope
not to talk politics to you nor to mis-
lead you nor to be procurer for any
king or kaiser On earth, but to tell
you in the name OF God and the holy
church what is good and right for men
to do. Therefore," he concluded, to
the bitter chagrin and utter confound
ing OF the German officers present:
AS priest of God l tell you that it
IS your duty as good Catholics to
keep the oaths you have taken and he
loyal to your king-and that is all I
have to say to you this day May the
grace OF God rest and help y0u." Yes,
the priest complied willingly.
All who read an account of the in
cident will, VIC venture to assert, agree
with the Australian professor that
considering the circumstances and the
environments, Father Crotty deserves
TO rank as one Of the truest heroes Of
the war.
