ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
QUARTERLY MEETING OF THE
MINNEAPOLIS PARTIC LAR
DAY.
(Contributed.)

The quarterly meeting of the Par
ticular Council OF Minneapolis of the
st. Vincent de Paul Conference was
held at the Pro-Cathedral School house
on Sunday afternoon, March II, at 3
o'clock. The following parish Confer
ences were represented at the meet
ing: ST. Anthony of Padua, Pro-Ca-
thedral, St. Thomas, St. Bridget, St.
Lawrence, Incarnation, st. Elizabeth.
The following officers Of the Particu-
lar Council were present: The spir-
itual director, the Rev. N. McRaith;
president, E. A. Prendergast; vice
president, Frank Gross: secretary,
Carter; treasurer, John NJ. Gleason
The treasurer reported that about
$4,000 had been collected from spe-
cial campaign made by the Particular
Council. This fund is to be used
largely in assisting the City Mission
airy in his work. While we did not re-
ceive as much money as we had
hoped, we nevertheless feel it is a
good start.
Among those represented at the
quarterly meeting was the newest Con-
ference, that of st. Elizabeth. This
Conference was formed on March 4,
with Mr.. Peter Frey as it's president.
Already about ten members have
joined, and it is expected that ten
more Members will be on the roll be-
fore the end Of the month. Mr.. Frank
Gross, the vice president Of the Par
ticular Council, reported that he was
receiving the cooperation of Father
Erren in organizing Conference in
ST. Josephs parish. Within the next
thirty days it is expected a Confer
ence will be formed in that parish
with about twenty members.
The meeting of the Particular Coun-
Gil on Sunday was addressed by the
Rev. ]. NJ. Cleary, of the Incarnation
parish, who urged the members to
greater zeal in carrying on the work
of the society. He laid special empha-
sis upon the benefits to be derived by
| the members themselves in assisting
the poor The spiritual director of the
Particular Council, Father McRaith,
outlined some Of the work he was do
| ing as City Missionary, and asked that
a central Office be established where
| he could procure from one source a
| list of names of families helped, no
matter by what Conference. Mr. Fred
Milan, having Offices at 423 Boston
| Block, a member of the Pro-Cathedral
| Conference, volunteered to act as as
sistant secretary of the Particular
| Council and to render all the assist
ance possible to Father McRaith All
| Conferences were therefore requested
to send in to Mr.. Milan the names OF
all families Oh their rolls.

THE AMERICAN SOLDIER
RIGHT REVEREND BISHOP LAW
LER OF LEAD, SOUTH DAKOTA,
TELLS OF MILITARY GLORY.

A public and enthusiastic reception
was rendered Company H, Fourth
South Dakota regiment, on it's return
to Lead last week. Among the speak
ers was, the Right Reverend Bishop.
In his address he said in part:
I'm the minds of many Of our peo-
pie the idea of a soldier is associated
with bygone days and with an out
grown necessity. We have become ac-
customed to speak only of our old
soldiers. Why, there are those among
us who seem to think that the days of
soldiers are over. They lull themselves
into state of false security, imagin-
ing that somehow no war will ever
cross our country's pathway down
through the centuries. The vision of
America unarmed but immune from at
tack, is too beautiful to be true. There
is danger ahead for our nation as well
as for any other nation.
1T is easy to foresee that soldiers,
heroic and trained men who know
how to crowd selfishness to the rear
in defense of our rights and liberties
will be needed always as long as hui
man nature is what it is-as long as
men and nations remain as they are.
Much as international arbitration
| for the settlement of disputes between
nations is to be desired it is not yet a
reality. Well trained defenders OF the
| flag are as necessary now as at any
period of our national existence.

soldiers should be the heroes. The
old soldiers did their part nobly.
will praise their valor with any man;
but claim that it is on our young sol
diers of today that we must rely fol
the protection of all that our country
holds dear. They are the strong right
arm of the present and the hope Of
the future.
Let people pirate of America irwin
chile and of the uselessness of prep
aration. = 1t is truism that nation
that is unprepared today will not b,

young soldiers such as these with thei
lofty ambitions, their noble ideals, ant
their boundless enthusiasm who vii
defend the honor of the Republic
against foes from within and foes from
without.

account of himself. Under Washing

Give The Roads Attention.

The postoffice department has
decided to cut out a large numb
er of rural routes in the next few
months to reduce expenses. In
spectors will go through the
country in the next few months
and examine all roads which the
rural carriers travel and whenever
the condition of the roads is
found bad, routes will be discon-
tinued. Roads which show ne
glect will be more apt to be con-
demned than those which have
been put in first class condition.
One careless road supervisor in a
township may be responsible for
the loss of a route.

Chautauqua Festival.

McConnellsburg sannual Chau-

the Auditorium this year on Oc-

will be bigger and better than on
previous years. The price for
season tickets will be SIPS.
Single ticket 35 cents for after
noon admission, and so cents for
night sessions.
Patriotism will be a leading
feature. Come and hear Life
in the Trenches" lecture by
Captain Leslie Vickers of the
Royal Scotch Fusileers. Also
illustrated lectures on the Great
War.
Poor indeed is that Pennsylva-
MIA town that does not now sup
port an annual Chautauqua fes-
tival. McConnellsburg is among
the most enthusiastic supporters
of this refined course of high
grade entertainments. After the
professional entertainers have
been paid, no one makes any
money out of the festival-in-
deed, in some instances, the
guarantors have to go down into
their pockets for money to pay
for what the public enjoyed. The
Chautauqua is a twentieth GEN.
