BISHOP NILAN's PAPER HoNoRs
 ST, PATRICk's REVERED RECTOR


 The weekly Catholic Transcript, pub of the diocese, pays St. Patrick's parish the deferential honor of an editorial leader and the following tribute;
 Father John Broderick, who died at Norwich, Saturday, April 30. was the second priest of a four-priest family. Since the passing of the sacerdotal tribe, so many sons of the same father and mother have seldom attained to the priesthood Never in the history of this diocese has that family record been equalled. Seldom has it been equalled in the church of the United States. Father Broderick was the faithful ! shepherd, and the flock to which he min istered and whose interests he conserved with parental care, knew him by no oth- CT name and could not, even after a positive mental effort, call him by any other title than that of Father
 He was everywhere the good shepherd ] He suffered no ambition and no alisr care to divert him from his parochial n. | terests. In him the people had spirit | ual leader to whom they could appea with confidence and point with pride He was their pastor and his life Wal wholly spent among them and for them
 Father John Broderick was a man o quiet tastes. He was gentle with thI native gentleness of the true gentleman He was retiring as becomes the followe of the lowly Man of Sorrows. Away the priest, he was no seeker after In applause which is so sweet 10 men 0 coarser fiber. He fittingly illustrated hi calling and carried almost visibly upol his person the notes and characteristic of his sublime vocation.
 His closing years were honorable an a fitting crown to a long and meritoriou career in the vineyard.
 The pastor of St. Patrick's died al
 time when his powers of mind shout have been at their meridian. He wa sane, and moderate with the wisdoT , which accrues from wide experienee an faithful service. His passing is a re; loss to the church. His many labor entitle him to Q conspicuous place anon
 the long line of pastors who have, l , varying degrees, contributed to lhe LII . build of the church in this common wealth. Less demonstrative than man
 of them, none was more Driestiy. an r r none commanded in a highe- degree Il 7 esteem of his fellow priests and the col :, fdence of his people
 . The verdict of the contemporaries r Father John Frederick does houor 10 h |, memory. He was a good priest, a ma !, l of many labOrs. adjud yed by all 70 = worthy of the title which he bore blam f lessly for thirty-six years

of any doubt that may have existed ss to the attitude Of the United States.
 President Harding in his message CT Premier Lloyd George accepting the invl- tation has made it clear. these diplomats say. that the administration. while restat- ing it's determination to abstain from par ticlpating in purely European affairs. pro poses that the United States lend its counsel and aid in effecting the readjust- ments growing out of the common victory over the former central powers.
 The presence of American representa- tives on the supreme council, the confer ence of ambassadors and the reparations commission, they believe. will facilitate the settlements. and, at the same time aid in clearing away the misunderstood ings which have arisen between the United States and the allies with regard to some of the settlements. such as man dates.
 As these diplomats view it. the. situa. ton is clearer than it has been at any time since the senate failed to ratify tho treaty of Versailles. The allied govern. ments are known to have taken the posi-. ton that an attitude of extreme aloofnesI by the United States would give encour- 0eSAAEoAN NO 6SiALeng III EtSlSllnE lne Qe' mands made upon her. They also are uu. derstood to have held that the mere re fusal of the United States to transmit Germanys counter-proposals on repara. tions did not quite meet the situation tha' had arisen.
 Limitations of leaders in the house Q, representatives that action on the Kno, peace resolution probably will be delayeC until the present situation overseas ha. clarified is received by the allied dipIo mats as furnishing evidence of the soil darity of the United States and it's forme associates in the world war.
 Foreign affairs are expected 10 occuu- some of the attention of the senate thi week, and there are indications that th | acceptance Of the allied invitation ma come in for further discussion. Senate Harrison, democrat. Mississippi. is to cal ! up his proposed changes in senate rule to abolish secret sessions on treaties a well as nominations and the debate eNpecte dto branch into many avenues.
 American relations abroad also are e pected to come in for extended senate dc bate late this week when Che naval ar propation bill is taken up Considers tion of this measure probably will ore ciDitate a debate on disarmament. sue as proposed in the Borah resolution an in other measures which members are ez pected to offer. Efforts to attach a dis armament amendment to the naval bf are looked for, but republican leaders pla to oppose it, as President Harding hs
 expressed the wish that this subject b left 10 the future.

HOME MISSIONS SECRETARY
 AT CENTRAL EAPTIsT CHURCH

The pulpit at tte Central Baptist church was supplied Sunday m9raing and evening by Charles L. White, D. D., secretary of the American Baptist Home Missionary society.
 In the evening Dr. White took his text from St. Matthew, 27:22-Piiate saith unto them. what then shall I d. unto
 Jesus Who is called Christ? They all say, let Him be crucihed.
 During the course of his sermon pr.
 White said 1t is astonishing how in these
 days the world sits up and takes notice
 of what Christ said so long ago. Con-
 densing Christianity in four words, ad-
 init, submit. commit any trans
 init, Dr. White said that we
 shold open up our hearts and ad-
 init Him. Don't lock out the Son of
 God. Have you let Him in? If you have
 you are a Christian. If you have not to live right to live decent and to keer within the law but to look at him you can't tell whether he is Christian or | not. The difference between a Chris tian and a nen-Christian is determined not by the outside of a mans life, but by the inside. To admit Christ into oul lives iS to open the blinds and let tht sunshine in.
 Submit your will to Him. You have tt SqDmu your VIII Lo HIS VIII ana 10 u( l as He tells you if you are to be true l Christian. The third thing is to com 1 init yourself to Him. That is common 1 ly spoken of as conservation. The fourtl l thing is to transmit. Tell your neighbor 1 about Christ. That's what we do whel 1 we send our missionaries out to foreigl l lands or to home fields
 Dr. White will supply the pulpit agail 1 next Sunday and the following Sunda, the pulpit will be supplied by Joseph 1 Robbins, D. D.. secretary of the Amer 1 ican Baptist Foreign Missionary society l who supplied last Sunday.
 l The topic of the B. Y. P. U. meet 1 ing Sunday evening was Living Clos 1 to Christ and the leaders were Rober 1 Sage and Stanley Watson.
