Intensive Observance
OF Good Friday
THE HOURS OF THE AGONY OF

It Was On Good Friday Of Last Year
That America Formally Entered

It is time to begin serious agitation
for the proper observance of those
three most momentous hours in the
history of the race. They commem-
crate the outstanding Fact in human
history, the Death of Christ. No event
so changed the current and thought
of the world.
For the Christian Good Friday is
the supremely good day. Greater
love no man hath than that he give
his life for his friend" The Son of
God gave His life for humanity. To
those who believe in the Divinity of
Jesus Christ the Crucifxion is more
than a monumental manifestation of
salf-sacrifice. 1t means that the hand
writing that was against us has been
blotted out When the human race
lost the friendship of God by sin there
could be but one atonement. The
malice of sin is as infinite as the dig
nifty that is offended. A Victim must
be sacrificed that would measure up
to the God Whom it would appease.
The Son of God offered Himself. The
Sacrifice, infinite in its atoning pow
er, was completed on the first Good
Friday afternoon. When the sun was
in the zenith of it's glory He laid Him.

self son of one of the rebels Of 49,
he had seen the movement grow al
most to the hour of success under Mr.
Parnell, and then, in the course OF
one short afternoon, had seen it, for
the time being, destroyed. His father
after strenuously opposing the madcap
rising of Smith O'Brien, had been

his life in his hands. when his leaders

in spite of him. AS result of his ac.
ton he had been for years a refugee
in the United States. But when the
amnesty of the '48 rebels came, he had
returned to Ireland, and entered the
House of Commons.
His son had been born at Blackrock
on the fringe of Dublin, and had gone
to school in the Roman Catholic Uni

from which he had eventually matri.
culated into the University itself, in
ST. Stephens Green. 1t had been in

medical profession. But when John
Mitchell came back to Ireland to fight
the famous Tipperary election, he
threw himself into that conflict with
all the energy that has ever since dis
tinguished him. and from that moment
he has never turned aside from the
great battle.
In the earlier days he was follower
of Isaac Butt but he was amongst
those who were the first to see that
Mr.. Butts policy would never lead

speeches, delivered in Molesworth
Hall, that helped to bring about the
eventual overthrow of Mr.. Butt, and
the election to the leadership of Mr..
Parnell, by a majority of five, at the
fateful election, in the City Hall in
Dublin
From that time on Mr.. Dillon was
one of the strongest of Mr.. Parnell's
supporters. He had first entered Par

Excursion Rates. for
A. 0. Il. Convention
Round Trip Fare From Twin Cities
Will Be $04.94.
Tickets Good for Return Until Oct. 81,
With Stopover Privileges.

Although William G. McAdoo, Direc.
tor General of Railways, will not per-
NIT the running of special trains to
any of the great conventions scheduled
for San Francisco this year, still he
has consented to the granting of spe-
clal excursion rates from all points of
the East, Middle West and South to
San Francisco.
This news will be cheerfully re.
celved by the members of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians all over the coun-
try. 1t will also serve to stifle those
false rumors spread in Eastern cities
to the effect that the Hibernians had
decided to abandon their proposed con-
vention on account of the long trip
and the high fares.
Following is list of round-trip ex-
cursion rates which will be in effect
for all conventions to San Francisco
during 1918:
From Chicago, $S0.5O
From points West of Missouri river,
including Kansas City, Omaha and in
termediate points, $6S.
IAoAA 81 Aouio, MeulpAlS anu New
Orleans, $78.
From st. Paul and Minneapolis,
$S494.
From Denver, Colorado Springs and
Pueblo, $63.
Rates from all other cities east,
west, north and south of these points
will be in proportion. In case any
of the visitors wish to return home
by the Northern route, an additional
charge of $3.50 will be made. The
tickets will be good until October 81
for the Hibernian convention, and
stopovers may be made at the various
points of interest.

Chicago, March 1S.-S Six hundred
Chicago Irish men and women rose
and loudly cheered the passage of res
olutions which coupled with a, plea
for an Irish republic a pledge of 10y
atty to the United States and person
al service to the Illinois Council of
National Defense, at the St. Patrick's
day banquet of the Irish Republic
committee.
The occasion was the first annual
banquet of the Chicago Committee of
One Hundred for an Irish Republic,
at the Morrison Hotel. State Senator
Joseph p. Mahoney was toastmaster.
Judge Robert Emmett Grove, chief
justice of the Superior Court, author
of the loyalty plank in the resolutions,
made fiery speech in their behalf.
He denounced those people claiming
to be of Irish blood who are content
that Poland, Bohemia and all other
nations except Ireland shall be free"
Rev. Francis X. McCabe, president
of the De Paul University, specifically
raped T. p. O'Connor and Richard
Hazleton for what he termed an insult
to the people of Chicago.
"On the fourth of March number of
Irish gathered together for the cele-
bration of the anniversary of Robert
Emmett" he said. ''In that throng
were mothers and fathers of Irish
boys who are in cantonments, on the
high seas, and carrying our flag on
the battlefelds of France.

Catholic Federation Pays Expense
"A New Departure in Catholic Ac-
tivitjeS,

London, Feb. o. Marking new
era in the effort for the conversion of
England. departure has taken place
here which is of particular Importance,
as a tribute to the power of the press,
and as evidence that our people are at
last waking up to the necessity for
propaganda on behalf of the Church.
The Catholic Federation has, at
great expense, published Cardinal
Bourne's interesting pastoral letter on
the present situation and the question
of reconstruction after the war, "in
extenso" in the leading daily journals,
heading it Cardinal Bourne's Message
to the Nation.' and paying advertis-
ment rates to secure space and good
position. Needless to say, the pastoral
has thus been read by thousands of
men and women who would not other
wise have known of it's existence, and
the efforts of Catholics to offer Chris
tian principles to the reconstruction
lists are causing widespread interest.
Meanwhile, the Catholic League of
South London is one of the first to put
the Cardinals proposals into effect, for
in connection with the education of
Catholic women to their responsibility

to form branch of the league for

Three Anglican Converts.
Various causes have been assigned

er struck and Christ died that we

er struck and Christ died that we
might live.
This is Good Friday to the Chris
tian. This is why we hold IN such
loving reverence those hours from
noon till o'clock, the hours our
Saviour hung in agony on the Cross.
Surely none can take exception to
our desire that these hours be kept
away from the things that speak of
business or pleasure. The infidel may
not share our faith The Jew cannot
sympathize with the religious mean
ing of Good Friday. All can appre-
ciate what the day means to us, and
even though they do not believe that
Jesus Christ is the very God they must
recognize in Him the greatest Man
that ever blessed the earth by His
presence. The impress of His Life
and Character is seen in every phase
of human existence. He gave new
meaning to the Fatherhood of God,
just as He gave the first impulse to
the brotherhood of man. The civiliZa-
tion we enjoy, with all it's blessings, is
Christian, the civilization of Christ.
Both Jew and Gentle, believer and
infidel, pay tribute to the sweet Gospel
of the gentle Christ.
Our country is professedly Christian.
We are all partakers in the blessed
heritage that came to us through the
Life and Death of Christ. 1t is only
fitting that our profession should find
concrete and public manifestation. 1t
can be done in no better way than by
suspension of the ordinary duties of
life during the three hours that mark
the Agony and Death of Christ on the
Cross. 1t is not too much to ask peo-
pie of all creeds to show their faith
and gratitude on Good Friday. We
make the appeal in a particular way
to Catholics. We urge that Catholic
merchants wherever possible close
their places of business during these
hours and that Catholic people abstain
from all unnecessary work. 1t would
be no more than right that these three
hours be spent in church in contem-
plation of the wondrous love that God
has shown us and in atonement for
our want of appreciation of that love.
One who really believes that Christ
is God will not refuse to spend with
Him the hours that He hung i'll agony
on the wood of the Cross.
