Ladies' Guild


 Ladies' Guild
 Rev. Joseph Kinney of Hartford addressed a capacity audience of women members of the Ladies' Guild of St. Francis xavier's parish ct a meeting last night in the parish hall.
 In Father Kinneys talk, he brought out the fact that the prin- ciples of the natural rights of man as enunciated in our Declaration of Independence can be traced to the writing of Saint Robert Bellarmine, the great Catholic apologist of the 18th century. Bellarminc's famous famous answer to James l. King Of England who proposed the theory of the Divine Right of Kings, show ed that rulers and governments de. rive their authority indirectly from God, but directly from the consent of the governed.
 It was these theories Of Democ. racy that gave inspiration to the early fathers of our country, par- ticuiarly Thomas Jefferson. accord. ing to Father Kinney. He related the fact that there was c set of Bellarmine's works in the Prince ton library in the Revolutionary days. He also pointed out that in JefYerson's own library there Is c copy of Sir Robert Filmer's book "Patriarch" in which several quo. tations from Bellarmine are under. lined, possibly by Jefferson.
 Father Kinney urged his hearers to regard highly their privilege Of American citizenship in which free. dom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom of education are guar anteed, an dalso urged them to re. sist any influence which would lend to weaken our constitution.
 Father Kinney is . native of St. Francis xavier's parish.
 Plans will be made In the near future for c Lenten supper and an Indoor carnival. Plans for next weeks affair will be made by Mrs. Nora Kelly, Mrs. Mary Day, Mrs. Margaret Conell, Mrs. Katherine Ruggles, Mrs. Hilda shannahaia, Helen Shore, Catherine Crichton afid Rose Foley.
