X. OF C. ADDRESSED
BY FATHER SWEENEY
Work Of Order Is Reviewed by
Speaker at Columbus Day
Vesper Services.

Addressing a meeting of the knights
of Columbus last night at ST. Gabriel's
Church in Columbus day vesper serv-
ices, Rev. william Sweeney defined the
essential principle of Catholic practice
as complete observance of spiritual and
temporal duties within the church..
Reviewing the work of the knights
OF Columbus, both in its civic and re-
ligious activity, Father Sweeney de-
clared that without universal congre-
gational adherence to faith and duty
the Catholic Church, as a harmonious
body of religion, could not survive.
In his remarks on the American
voyage of Columbus, Father Sweeney
who commended that the great explorer
was actuated more by missionary than
imperialistic motives declared. He was
not primarily moved by quest for
gold or the seeking of land, but rather
by the desire to spread the faith"
The services were concluded by a
brief talk by Bishop John M. McNa-
mara. who spoke on the obligations of
members of the knights of Columbus
to the order.
Francis x. Cavanaugh, assistant
pastor Of ST. Martins Church and
Rev. Joseph Michigan were among the
prominent members Of the order, who
attended the services.
