VOTE FOR FRIERSON FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
The Sentinel agains calls to the attention OF the people OF
this district the vital importance of the Office Of lieutenant gov
ernor of Mississippi. This office is next to the highest in the
State and at the death or removal from office otherwise OF the
Governor, the lieutenant governor automatically becomes COVER
nor. Besides this the lieutenant governor is president of the
senate and yields much power with that body. For these rea-
sons the people should place only such men As stand every test
of character and ability in the lieutenant governors office.
Aside from iCasteels position On the prohibition question
his political life has not been such as to make him acceptable as
lieutenant governor. During the sessions OF the legislature oI
1915 Casteel was openly known as the operator Of a gambling
room in a hotel in Jackson. His conduct was unbeccfnihg Il gen
tleman who held the position of a senator and since hat time
there has been no evidence of Casteels having changed his
course, hence The Sentinel would suggest to the people OF this
section that they vote for Frierson, a man OF ability, honor anu
integrity, who pould reflect credit upon the state as it's lieuten-
ant governor rather than bring shame upon That high position.

HIS TALE OF WOE

Governor Bibo to Lieutenant Governor Russell, September ~
1918, Midnight)
Dear Lee:
HelPs to pay! No water handy!
Ppit the beans and lost the candy.
This time all lies and SANDER failed.
That fellow Johnson should be jailed.
He broke my nose and BACKED my eye.
Sometimes a fellow gets too slick.
Ny Baptist friends, they failed to stick.
So Lee, my pal, goodbye, goodbye.
Dreams, they say, come rarely true,
The Governors chair is not for you;
No more We'll ride with 'Sylum girls.
Whose peachy cheeks and crispy curls,
Made many a heart go pit-a-pat,
(My wife stepped in and stopped all that
No harm was meant, but then, O hell!
Good night, my pal, and then farewell.

THE LAtTARE MEDAL
UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME
AWARDS FAMOUS HONOR THIS
YEAR TO GEORGE L. DUvAL OF
NEW YORK cITY-NOTED FOR
CHARITIES.

The University of Notre Dame an
nounced last Sunday that the Laetare
Medal this year has been conferred
upon Mr.. George l., Duval, of New
York City. For many years the great
University has conferred this honor
each year, on Laetare Sunday, upon
some Catholic layman distinguished
for exceptional services to the cause
of Church and humanity.
The award states that this honor
was given to Mr.. Duval ION account of
the eminent splendor of his Catholic
life, his fine Christian character, and
his extensive philanthropy" He has
contributed more than half a million
dollars to the various causes of the
Church, and has taken a most active
part in the promotion of everything
tending towards the welfare of relig-
ion.
George L. Duval was born in st.
Stephens parish, Brooklyn, New York
in 1860, and enjoyed liberal Catholic
education. He is a member of the
important firm of Vessel, DuVal and
Company, of New York City, export
commission merchants. This firm
owns the West Coast Line of freight
steamers, and has branch houses at
Valparaiso, San Diego, Conception and
| Talcahuano, Chile 1t is one of the
most important firms in the export
trade business.
The works of charity promoted by
Mr.. Duyal have all been in honor OF
the Immaculate Conception. The chief
objects of his philanthropy have been
the following: a preparatory semi
nary for boys in Brooklyn, made posi-
BILE by his financial assistance; a spe
cial chair in the Catholic University
at Washington for the exposition Of
the dogma of the Immaculate Concep
ton; a home for crippled children
under the care of the Franciscan Sis
tiers, at White Plains, New York.
few years ago the municipal hospita
at Valparaiso, Chile, desired to add {
wing to it's large building for specia
; works of mercy Mr.. Duval came t
it's assistance, and the new building
which was his gift, was named l.;
Purissima.
The award of the Laetare Medal t
i Mr.. Duval will, doubtless, occasion
/ great surprise. The reason is that h
| has always made his notable contribr
t tions to charity with as little pubiicit
i as possible, usually Withholding hi
own name.

Dangers Of Modern Spiritism

highest inspiration, and upon it oul
entire Christian civilization has been
built up.
1t is just this doctrine, pervadine
the whole of the New Testament and
the writings of the fathers and doc,
tors of the Church from the earliest
times which is the distinguishing
characteristic of the Christian re-
ligion. The Son of Man. declared
our Lord, lis not come to be minis
tered unto, but to minister, and to
give his life redemption for many"
Saints and Martyrs.
This is my blood Of the New Tes-
lament which shall be shed for many
for the remission of sins" The in
ference therefore clearly is that, if
Sir Conan Doyle is right and his spir-
it's are to be believed, the saints and
martyrs have believed a lie and have
died in vain. And God looked on and
allowed this thing to be done, know
ing all the while that some centuries
later the disillusionment would come.
Is not this mode of reasoning utterly
self-destructive? For who will here
after believe in and love and honor a
God who assented to such a decep-
ton, who allowed a new civilization,
involving the shedding of oceans of
blood and of tears, to be built upon a
falsehood - upon a misConception
which could so easily have been avoid
ed or been put right?

further ask, that while any soldier

Is it necessary to carry the argu-
ment any further? Does it not re-
flute itself-hopelessly and utterly?
Does not that other striking text Of
Holy Scripture which Sir Conan Doyle
so fagrantly distorts in his book dis
close to us the real source of his
New Revelation"
He admits there that we have to
deal sometimes with absolutely cold
blooded lying on the part of wicked or
intelligences. We must
not therefore, he says, believe every
spirit but try the spirits whether
they be of God. But the text goes on
to say: Il, St. John ", l Prot. Yer
sion) Because many false prophets
are gone out into the world. Hereby
know ye the Spirit Of God: Every
spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ
is come in the flesh is of God. And
every spirit that confesseth not that
Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is
not of God; and this is that spirit Of
anti-Christ, whereof ye have heard
that it should come; and even now al
ready is in the world" / doubt very
much whether Sir Conan Doyle would
have quoted this text had he taken
the trouble to look it up in the New
Testament.
How appropriate, n view of such
despicable perversions Of truth, is the
solemn warning of the Apostle st.
Paul: Il. S. Tim. VI, 20 Prot. Yer

FATHER DANDURAND
WORLDS OLDEST CATHOLIC
PRIEST - WINNIPEG CHURCH
WILL CELEBRATE BIRTH ANNl-
VERSARY OF CENTENARIAN
PASTOR.

ST. Boniface Canada, is preparing
a unique celebration to honor its cen
tenarian priest, Rev. Damase Dandu-
rand, o. NJ. l., who was 100 years old
March %. He is said to be the oldest
Catholic priest and is the oldest
Oblate in the world.
Father Dandurand was born March
%, 1919, at La Prairie, near Montreal.
Doubts were entertained of his grow
ing up on account of his delicacy.
Ordained in 1841.
He was ordained to the priesthood
September II, 1S41, and the same year
joined the Oblates of Mary 1mnIacu-
late, missionary community serving
the Church from coast to coast. The
young priest preached missions and
retreats until 1914 in the district sur
rounding Montreal, and then being
called to Ottawa, his activity and abil-
ity found fitting work as rector of the
cathedral of that city. The position
of administrator of the Ottawa diocese
was held by him for a long time and
he remained there till the death of
Bishop Guiges. He was architect of
the Basilica, and of the churches of
st. Joseph and St. Anne.
In 1875 Father Dandurand went to
Manitoba, and was stationed at st.
Charles. The remembrance of life
and work in that district remains to-
day in the hearts and minds of many,
and old parishioners and their des-
cendants are coming to do honor at
st. Boniface to the grand old priest
who has helped so untiringly to build
up the church in the west.
In 1900 Father Dandurand went to
st. Boniface and was attached to the
Cathedral staff during the regime of
the late Archbishop Langevin. The
office of chaplain to the Hospice
Tache (the Old Folks home) and the
orphanage conducted by the Grey
Nuns was held for some time by the
revered priest.
Though a marvel of longevity,
Father Dandurand is not confined to
his room or has impaired faculties.
His health is good; no one at the
archbishop's palace is more eager to
have the first glimpse of the daily
papers than he, and he takes great
interest in the peace conference and
other important events. If the rigOr5
of a hundred winters have gone over
his head the summers of a century
look on life.
