FATHER MORIARTY
 AT BRIDGEPORT
Addressed C a { Olic C Council of Men of That
 City Last Night
ON GODLESS EDUCATION

Rev Eugene Moriarty, assistant pastor of St Margaret's church of this city, was the guest speaker of the Bridgeport branch of the Cath olic Council of Men in that city last evening. The Bridgeport Tel egram reporting the event, quotes Father Moriarty as declaring that the present modern generation has become Goddess civilization" " which has enthroned science as its only God and it's colleges and universities are turning out youths stripped of their religious beliefs.
 Modern Catholic parents who send their children to college do not know that they are sending doing them the greatest harm that may befall them" he said "Ail the parents are thinking about is the gaily colored college letters which will adorn their davenports following graduation and the priv ilege of declaring that they sent their children to college.
 Many good Catholic boys and girls, who firmly believe in their own faith, graduate from college with all or most of their religious beliefs torn away. l have had numerous college graduates, both boys and girls. come to me and say that they don't believe there is a God and say that the Christus was just a myth. What is this genera ton coming to when people begin to cast aside their religion and the Almighty God that created them?'
 Father Moriarty then spoke on world matters, telling of the injus- tices, barbarism and selfishness which he charges are scattered riotously throughout the world.
 "The newspapers keep these af- fairs in the public eye daily" he said, "and yet nothing is being done about it. The newspapers re- veal nothing but killings, riots Communist and Red meetings end ing in scraps with police. the Japan China affair, Mahatma Gandhi and other things which reek with in- injustice and barbarian. Man made laws are being broken every day and the government, instead of doing something which may prove effective, makes other laws to en- force the first laws, which is like cutting one's head off because the face is dirty.
 World Grown Up
 "The world feels that it has grown up and does not need God any more, thinking that modern science can replace the one and only Almighty God. Proof of the grow ing madness of the world can be seen in the many divorces granted each day. The vows taken by couples being married no longer are sacred and are broken without the slightest hesitancy or thought. If a man feels that he wants an other mate. he simply casts aside his old one and is allowed another woman.
 "It is up to us Catholics. who are the shock troops of Christ and the only organization in the world who believe that Christ is God. to remedy this deplorable situation.

some trouble in the first inning,
letting the visitors get over two

of five.
The Pilots hit Bell hard but
