ALL CATHOLICS
Sacrifice of Children Is
Subject Of Talk
In Boston

BOSTON, Aug. l9-tP-Catholics
who sacrifice the religion Of their
children ito the pure wordlineSs Of
so-called fashionable schools to-
day were reminded by william
Cardinal O'Connell. archbishop of
Boston. that the -puritans insisted
upon their children being instruct
ed in their own faith"
Cardinal O'Connell made his ad-
dress at the conclusion of a mass
at the cathedral Of the Holy Gross
which officially opened the 48th
annual convention Of the Knights
of Columbus. Delegates from all
parts Of the North American CONT
nent were present.
Assuming that the convention
was being held here this year be-
cause Of the local observance of the
tercentenary of the Massachusetts,
Bay colony, Cardinal O'Connell dis
cussed at length the early history
Of the colonies. He hen said:
History proves that goodness
and virtue and righteousness can
not be forced on a people by sta
tutes or by machine guns. But
while we shudder at the fierce aus
terity of Puritan life we would do
well not 10 forget that luxury and
wealth may lead 10 the corruption
even Of the best, and destroy the
very foundation Of this nation,
founded by sturdy men in poverty
and privation.
The mistake the Puritan made
was to confound the gift and its
use with the abuse of the gift Our
nation has become the richest per-
haps. in the world. II would be a
crime in our abundan-e to forget
that the luxury to which wealth
often leads Is the first step to de-
cadence and degeneracy, personal

In its report the interstate COM

classes based on fixed percentages of

exceptions, lower rates on agricultural

marily on mileage, but with certain
grouping arrangements.
A table drawn up by McDonnell's

Mcdonnell said the first class rate

reductions from Chicago and points
