10 the number OF 215. The people who
| went with the pastor wrote back and
1t was learned that he organized a
new church in the state of Indiana,
| where he had settled, and he served
| thls church as pastor until his death.
History tells us Of this man. that he
was wondcn to the people. The rec
oros say that hundreds owned him as
thelr spiritual father. This accounts
as to why they followed him to the
far away state Of Indiana. In describ
ing him the records say that he was
somewhat singular in his manner and
Stranger to pride. His opportunities
lor acquiring human learning had been
limited, not what you would call an
educated man; he was eloquent, sim
pie, yet powerful. He spoke as one
who felt that he was surrounded by
the bulwark Of truth. The fact that he
was man of strong personality ac-
counts for his success not only as a
pastor but as a. leader Of the people to
such an extent that some were will
ing to leave the community with him.
After Joshua Palmer left comes Ell
der Charles Grow, who served the
church as leader for they had no pas
tor. lie served them until the year
1919. He was succeeded in this ca
Dacity by Elder Samuel Brown who
served until the year 1928, who was
followe din the work by Elder William
Alexander who served until the year
1880, when James Harlan was called
as pastor of the church. He was a
very forceful preacher and under his
leadership the church continued to
grow.
This church, venerable for it's an
tiquity has at different times parted
with considerable portion of its
members, it being the mother church
of some two or three other churches
which were formed by members dis
missed from this church for the prr-
pose Of organizing other churches.
Among the number that were organ
lied were Warrior Greek which was a
powerful church in it's earlier minis
try, and doing noble work now. Hur-
ricane was organized from the mem
bership Of this church in the year
1885 leaving at that time only n mem
bers on the roll Of the mother church.
Joshua Palmer who was serving the
church along with Spencer Bobo Reu-
ben Kelly and Lewis Rector, who join
ed them after the three had worked
together for some time, went up to
Durbin Creek which ha only beedn re-
Gently organized at that time. Joshua
Palmer trained and taught SPENCER

They did good work in this COM
munity.

SOCIAL WORK COLLAPsES
CAMPAIGN ENDED IN SPAIN BE-
CAUSE OF PERvERsloN TO Po-
LlTIcAL PuRPosE-No cATHo-
Lie PARTY.

The decision of the Archbishops
and Bishops of Spain, dissolving the
various committees organized to pro-
mote the "Great Social Campaign" of
the Catholics of that country, has
been transmitted to M. Herrera,
chairman of the campaign. The or
der Of dissolution was made because
the Hierarchy had reason to believe
that this nationwide social move
ment. among Catholics was to result
in the formation of a political party.
The action of the Episcopacy has
Brought to an end the controversies
which had arisen among the Catho-
lies of Spain. The leaders of the
movement, it was asserted by those
opposing it, were planning to unite
all the Catholics of the country into
a single, organization with the OBJ
ject of creating Catholic party in
Spain on the model of the German
Center or the Popular party of Italy.
The French Cardinals and Archbish-
ops have an organization which has
promulgated and promoted social
and religious program, and have given
their approval and support to various
Catholic bodies having like programs,
but they have made it clear that a
purely political party composed of
Catholics would be both impracticable
and Objectionable.

Being a mother, however, she does
not press her debt; it is founded
on love, and love in return must
be spontaneous.
The man or woman worthy OF
honor or respect cherishes the
memory of her who bore them.
Never for a moment will they for
get to pay the mother all those
titles and tokens of esteem and
deep love that rightflllly belong
to her. Her mother heart is kept
young and fresh by the thought

make her realize that she is their
best pal, is welcome ON all occa-
sions; they remember her with
little gifts, show her attentions at
every turn, spend themselves for
her comfort and show their pride
in her before their friends. Be
they ever so kind, never can they
repay to the full all the hours and
days of sorrow and worry / and

A TEACHER OF BOYS.

On May Is the Church recalls
the life and work of the renowned
educator of youth, Saint John Bap-
fist de La Sale. His career is
well known; how he was born of,
distinguished parents in Reims, be-
came brilliant man Of learning,
was ordained a priest, led a life
Of sanctity, and finally founded an
Institute of men for the training
Of the sons of the people. The So
ciety he established, the Brothers
Of the Christian Schools, penetrat-
ed remote lands, and everywhere
they won distinction not only for
their holy lives but especially for
the abundant fruits fofl their .sys-
tenn of education.
America today stands debtor to
these fervent teachers. of youth
Some of the most noted leaders in
Church and State in this country
owe their training in solid scholar
ship and high moral standards to
the Christian Brothers. Through
out the land are they recognized
as masters Of the thorough nrin-
ciples Of pedagogy. Meeting their
pupils with a man S viewpoint,
they leave a deep impress for life
upon the tender minds committed
to. their care and development. A
4" Brothers Boy" generally is not
ed for his absolute reliability and
efficiency in whatever walk of life
he may direct his steps.
Today the demand for these ex-
cellent teachers is far beyond
their resources and numbers. Bish-
ops and parishes seek their serv-
ices with avidity, for it is uni
versally recognized that their pres
ence in a school spells success
there. Many young man, de-
sirous of leading ailiigher life and
not aspiring to the priesthood, well

The pleasant and delightful
custom of honoring motherhood
on a certain day has become fixed
in American hearts. True, a good
child is the highest testimonial to
the worth of a mother, but some
thing else, an actual, tangible
proof of good will seems appropri-
ate. This is furnished by the
graceful practice Of wearing and
presenting flowers to her who is
the source of ones life.x
Nature works in mysterious
way in the production of human
life. The whole process is so en-
veloped in mystery that it serves
to throw veil Of hallowed solem-
nifty around the advent of each
tiny human being into the world.
Mother is the great central love
force in this development. Upon
her rests the burden of suffering
and pain as well as the duty Of
nourishment and care. Noblv
does she discharge this office: will
lngly does she assume the trials
OF travail, the tribulation of in
cessant watchfulness, the absorb
ing details necessary that the in
ciplent life be brought to full frui-
ton.
The moment of birth but en-.
hances and broadens the field of
mothers activities. The years of
babyhood are succeeded by the
period of childish Irresponsible
ty; then follow more years of
youthful indiscretion, of tempta-
ton, OF wavering between right
and wrong, of all the uncertain.
ties, moral and physical, that ac-
company and shadow adolescence.
Even young manhood and wont
anhood leave their mark on a
mothers solicitude. Through it
all that being whom we ennoble
with the loving and affectionate
title of mother relaxes not for. a
moment lest the fruit of her heart
be tainted or injured.
Such life of constant devotion
surely deserves the full riches of
filial gratitude. 1t calls not only
for reciprocal affection but for an
equally firm attachment. Mother
was once girl with all girl s
love Of pleasure and happiness
and little attentions. Marriage
did not change that nature; it but
introduced the spirit Of self-sac-
rifice in favor Of the child. Now
that that child has grown to ma
turity, mother has a right, a per-
fectly natural right, to demand
repayment for all her sacrifices.

Six tall braves from~the pueblo
OF San Juan de los Caballeros
came out of the archiepiscopal
residence the other day smiling
and happy. They were accom-
panied by His Grace, who chatted
with them in Spanish and then
gave them his blessing as they de-
parted. Had it been in Chicago,
st. Louis, Baltimore or elsewhere.
the event would have meant the

H. L. Menclzen, the clever critic
of American life, thinks that the
Declaration of Independence
would read somewhat like the fol-
lowing, if we wrote American"
as we speak it: When things get
so balled up that the people of a
country have to cut loose from
some other country, and go it on
their own hook, without asking
no permission from nobody, .ex-
cepting maybe God Almighty,
then they ought to let everybody
know why they done it, so that
every one can see they are on the
level, and not trying to put moth
ing over on nobody. All we got
to say on this proposition is this +:
First, You and me is as good as
anybody else, and maybe a whole
lot better; second, nobody ain t
got no right to take away none of
our rights; third, every man has
got right to live, to come and
GO as he pleases, and to have a
good time however, he likes, so
long as he don't interfere with
nobody else.
