SUBJECT OF TALK

The Catholic Woman'S club held
their meeting at their club rooms on
Wednesday afternoon Many, mem

pleasantly entertained with mus
ical program consisting OF piano solo
Revere, Marie Foley; piano duet,
Jolly Trumpeters, Ruth Frazer and
Philip Hornung; piano solo, Old Ken
lucky Home, Ruth Frazer: also reel
tation by members Of The 7th grade
of ST. Josephs school.
Mrs. John Moran then read a paper
on Sir Thomas More, saint and hui
morist. Extracts from her paper are
as follows:
"Sir Thomas More was born in
London in 1873, died in 1885. He was
educated at Oxford and entered par
liament in 1904 The author wrote
Utopia in 1916, produced the history
of Richard III in 1913 and it was
published in 1857 He was a great
favorite Of Henry VIII, who made him
Lord Chancellor in 1929. He succeed
ed WoIsley. Being an ardent Catholic
he refused to sanction the divorce OF
Queen Catherine and resigned his
office in 1892. He was imprisoned
in 1884 for declining to acknowledge
the validity of the Kings marriage
to Anne Boland, and was executed,
the same year for denying the Kings
supremacy as Head of the church.
He was canOnized saint under
Pope Leo XIII Blessed Thomas More
was a leading statesman and politi-
clan, the first great writer of English
prose, a classicist Of European reputa-
ton, a philosopher, a theologian, an
original thinker, am an Of affairs,
an eloquent pleader, a skillful par
Humanitarian, an honest and learned
Judge, a smooth and astute ambassa-
dor and the principal adviser Of a
powerful monarch. He chances ath-
wart his generation like a happy and
exotic being from some superior
planet. His shy and subtle alOofness
from the world whose history he was
making marked him out for official
beatificaton more surely than his
martyrdom. On mounting the scaffold
Sir Thomas asked the people to pray
for him and told them simply and
briefly that he died in and for the
Holy Catholic church, AS he had
lived, so Sir Thomas died, a common
fate enough, measuring the finite with
the infinite. Contrary to his humble
expectations he brought to the ex-
pectations of dying the buoyant spirit
which he had brought to the business
of living with some extra zest thrown
in, because he was so near home
after delightful day.
Adjournment was then taken until
