Rev. Father Thomas McGrath, 5. J.,
Welcomed by Church Lectures
Throughout Week at
St. Francis Church.

The ceremony Of welcome to the
Rev. Father McGrath, S. j., into the
beautiful church, whore he was bap-
tised, confirmed and received his
First Holy Communion, was tenderly
sweet in its exquisite beauty and ap-
propriateness. The fairy-like flower
girls, cherubic and sweet, and the
surpliced Acolytes, with angelic Sc
reness conjured up happy reminis-
ces of those joyous boyhood days
when he also seraphic-like marched
down those same aisles in many sol
emn, sacred professions; but nearer
and nearer as he approached the
Sanctuary, emotion seemed to over
come him, until meeting at the por-
tails of the Sanctuary, the two youth
full Acolytes arching aloft and interr
.twined Starry Banner and the Ban
ner Of Blue and Gold of service he
was overwhelmed-ay, he bowed his
head and entered into the Sanctuary
OF the Holy of Holes there to ofn-
ciate as the Minister Amounted of the
Lord, where so often he had served
as Acolyte, to the Joy and edification
Of a congregation of relatives.
No special cards have been issued
Tor the series of lectures now being,
delivered ats p. M, every day, (Sat-
urday excepted) until Sunday, Sept.
7th inclusively. by the Rev. Father
Thomas McGrath, s. j., as the pub
lie in general have been invited. We
had expected nothing else than
great fruit from this Mission. as out
of Brookhaven naught but the very
best in the arts and sciences, oratory
and music, can come. With such
brilliant luminaries radiating the
light Of knowledge, as a DR.. Cooper
of Whitworth, and Prof. Byrd and
staff, with the brilliant staff Of our
st. Francis Academy, what else could
be expected but stars Of the first
magnitude. But great as were our
expectations, the golden eloQuence
and profound learning of the Mis-
sionary-orator are far beyond our an
ticipations. The eloQuence is that of
a Chrysostom, tgolden) the learning
that of an Aquinas, and the delivery
that Of an Ignatius Loyola. For nigh
two hours. the auditors are SPELL,
bound, seemingly a part of the Rev.
Orator himself The series of lectures
will close only too soon, on Sunday.
Sept 7th at 500 p. m.
An instruction is given every
morning after the 1900 o'clock Mass.
A special instruction to the children
at 500 p. m. except Saturday and
Sunday. School opens Monday. Sept.
'Sth. Mass Of the Holy Ghost at 5
a. M; to direct and guide the teach
ers and students.

BACK TO THE SCHOOL.

1t is only through education that
an efficient defense for tomorrow can
be reared-that an efficient democra-
cy can be made possible.
Don't let the needs Of the hour
however demanding, or its burdens,
however beartbreaking, make you
unmindful Of the duty you owe to
those whom you have brought into
the world. You want to make the
world a safe and happy place for
them. Endure taxation and priva-
tion; suffer and sacrifice II need be
that the institutions Of civilization
be perpetuated and strengthened in
stead Of weakened. We want to per-
feet the civilization for which our
men have shed their blood and our
women their tears.
We shall expect a nation Of train
ed character, Of robust physique, a.
lert to the things Of the spirit and
reverrential to Its teachers whose SER
vice will be maintained at cost
commensurate with efficiency.

dying OF an operation in a Chicago
hospital was discovered to have $6.-
900 in bonds sewed UP in the old rags
that covered him. With accrued In

Here's joke worth passing on:-
An old negro preacher wished to
