centuries of oppression is not su'ffi-
’ interwoven with his deeds. The most | cientreason for the Irish people to
’ sublime passages in literature are
! those inspired and aglow with the
fire of his patriotic fervor. The poet
' never aingu sweeter, the orator is
never more persuasive, the musician
never more enthralling, than when
they touch the patriotic chord en-
twined in our hearts.
True Patriotism.
"Next to the love of God is the
love of country implanted by the
Creator in the heart of every man.
The psalmist, inspired by God, link-
ed the two together in one of the'
sublime canticles of religion. While
patriotism in itself is not a super-
natural virtue, Lt Is closely allied
with religion. It attains its highest
and purest form and blossoms forth
into full fragrance only when en-
twined with the hive of God and love
of the neighbor. Then, of course, it
partakes of the su r-3 r natural nature
of these virtues.
“That this type of patriotism in-
spired the deeds of the men whose
memory we commemorate to-day the
holy lives and saintly deaths of their
leaders testify. Theirs was not
dream of empire or lust of conquest.
They had studied the history of their
country and its dark and luminous
pages brought out in vivid contrast
its former splendor and its present
poverty and degradation. In their
young hearts they dreamed a dream
that they would restore to Erin the
moral grandeur, the intellectual
splendor and leadership of other

commemorate to-day. The aged pat-
riarch Eleazar referred to In the
text and lauded by the Inspired writ-
er as an example of virtue and for-
titude, was put to death by the im-
pious Antiochus because he loved
his country and its people and pre-
ferred its laws and national customs
to the yoke imposed by a foreign
invader.
Tim Mothe of Irish Pat Hoti),
“It was for a ’like reason that
these Irish patriots sacrificed their
lives, .'choosing rather a most glor-
ious death.' Hence It is but right and
proper that we who trace our origin
back to the sacred soil from which
they sprung, and for which they
died, that : we should honor their
memory before the altar of the Most
High, so that those for ages to come
may draw Inspiration from tiie pure
and noble Jives and the sublime
Ideals of those who since the heroic
struggle/ of 1916 died for freedom
and for love of Ireland.
If we can’t bring good clothing to our patrons
at a reasonable price and with a deserving finan-
cial profit to ourselves—then we’ll do It with a
financial loss, and depend on the good-will ,we
create to offset that loss.

hearts of the people. The brightest
pages of history are those which are
lay claim to their native land.*They
will tell you of the beneficent re-
forms administered, but they will
not tell you that these so-called re-
forms are dearly purchased and
could be more than counted on the
lingers of one hand. But when did i
it come to pass that gifts and re-
forms could in the eyes of the true1
American compensate for freedom
and independence? When did the ,
declaration of independence fall so
low in'the estimation of the Amer-
ican citizen that he could condemn
a people who are fighting for its
principles ?
i "We owe a debt of gratitude to
the men who have fallen in the
cause of freedom, whether it be at
| Bunker Hill, in the valleys of the
Argonne or on the green hills of
Ireland. They cast aside every per- ’
sonai interest at the call of their
country. The hopes, the plans, the
ambitions of their young lives were
sacrificed without hesitation. The
bond of love and friendship, the
family ties that link loving hearts ;
more strongly than bands of steel,
all were rent asunder for a pure and
a more unselfish love—the love of
right, the love of Justice, the love
of country. May their brave, in-
domfimbie souls rest in peace in the
bosom of the God of Infinite Love,”
days when nations of Europe knelt
at her feet.
“Will this dream be realized? Yes,
my friends, it is already partly rea-
lized. Seven centuries of oppres-
sion are dying a hard death. The
chains are stricken from the limbs
of Dark Rosaleen. The spirit of
freedom and democracy is abroad.
It has arisen in its purity and
strength, not from the battlefields
of France and Flanders, us we ex-
pected, but from the heart
brains and blood of Casement and
Pearse, and of McDonough
Ashe and MacSwlney. ""
tory empire stands at bay, worried
and worsted by a band of Irish
peasants, who have neither gun nor
tank nor battleship nor airplane at
their command.
Undying Faith and Hope In Ireland's
Resurrection.
“With the undying faith of our:
fathers in the mercy and‘justice of.
God, we hope to see ere long the
full resplendent glory of Ireland's
resurrection.
"The Irisb race, notwithstanding
the treatment of its oppressors, is
still willing to extend the hand of
Mexicans Qpjiose Proselytore.
Now that most of the Mexicans ■
have returned from cotton picking, a
Baptist minister has been appointed
to reside in our Mexican Catholic
settlement in order to i^e if he can
ensnare one or the other member for
his church, which was thrust on thia
colony six years ago when not a sin-
gle Mexican Baptist waa within a
radius of fifty miles.
Awake to the dangers of him un-
christian proselytism, the members
of the Guadalupe Society held a
mass meeting in the Mexican School
house on Sunday evening. Elec-
tion of officers for the current year
was postponed till practically all the
parishioners have returned to Ken-
vilie. Arrangements were made fori "
: a memorable celebration of the pa-i
: 1 tronal feast, Our Lady of Guadalupe,!
: i on Sunday, Dec. 12. One feature i
• of the program, if the weather is fa-|
jvorable, will be a public procession:

to frame the State charter with:

society discussed measures for the!

We grew tired of the manner in which the

was too much profiteering—and we decided that
no matter what the cost, this stote would

of others—but to strike out and force one Itself.

{ Through the generosity of the
PauiiHt Community, the parish is
j able to acquire title to two houses the
and lots on San Antonio Street, ad-
jacent to the church. These houses
are at present used as a parochial
school and priests' residence.
Through the unselfisll attitude of
the I’iiulist Community, the parish
can acquire this property for con-
t'idcrable less than its present mar-
ket value. The meeting unanimously
adopted a motion to purchase this

In recognition of the growth of
the parish and the many families:
living in outlying sections, the meet-
ing also empowered the finance com-
mittee to purchase an automobile

creasing their facilities for visiting

meeting was closed with the uanim-
