DIOCESE OF DULUTH

Duluth: Rev. P. J. Lydon, rector of
the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart for
two and a half years, babe farewell to
his parishioners at the High Mass last
Sunday. Father Lydon left Wednes-
day evening for Washington, D. c., by
way of st. Paul, where he spoke at
st. Paul's Seminary. He will spend
two or three years at the capital in
special study before returning to the
diocese of Duluth to direct educational
work among boys.
In his farewell sermon Father Ly-
don referred with feeling to the fact
that he was leaving the pastorate OF
the parish in which he spent his boy
hood as well as the years since his or
dination. He said he was leaving,
however, for that in which he was in
tensely interested and in which he said
great good could be accomplished. He
expressed his pleasure at the prospect
of having a part in developing a
strong, virile American priesthood for
the Church in America. Father Ly-

LOYALTY OF THE IRISH IN THE
CIVIL WAR.

To the Editor:
With the return of the seth New
York Regiment from France, we are
carried back in fancy to Gen. Meagh-
er-Meagher of the Sword. And as
Gen. Mcclellan styled them, THE
Brave Irish Brigade" at Antietam and

Big Gleason" Captain of the 63d, six
feet seven, sprang forward and snatch
ed it up. In few minutes a bullet
struck the staff, shattering it to
pieces. Gleason tore the flag from the
broken staff, wrapped it around his
body, putting his sword-belt over it,
and went through the rest of that
fight untouched. This flag, with the
swords of Gen. Meagher and Gen.
Shields, are preserved in the G. A. R.

Longstreet, of the COnfederacy, said,
Meagher's charge at Fredericksburg
was the handsomest thing of the
War" Meagher and his brigade were
picked out of more than one hundred
thousand soldiers to lead the charge.
Resolutely they marched upon the
stone wall, behind which quietly wait

of smoke shut out the scene for a
moment, and rising revealed the brok-

DIOCESAN ORGANIZATION

The organization work has brought
the fact of the tendency of parishes to
disintegrate more to notice. A loss
goes on if not checked. If Catholic
parish on the other hand is to lead
in social welfare activities where is it
to get its workers? Organization alone
can bring them out. If the parish
board, comprising the chairmen of the
organization, publicity, and speakers
committees, together with chairmen
for boys and girls and industrial COM
mittees is live organization, it
ought to furnish individual workers
for social welfare in every community.
This plan greatly aids the pastor.
He will be the one to whom calls for
cooperation in civic matters will
come. He will be able to respond, if
he has the cooperation of the chair
men of the above mentioned commit
tees.
Monsignor John J. Slevin, of Fart
bault, Rice Co., has sent in the name
of Judge M. N. Shields, of Faribault,
