QUENT SERMON.
'Cc.tljolic Societies of the City j
Participate in Observances
of 8t. Patrick’s Day Pa-
rade and High Mass.
The religious celebration of the
feast of Ireland’s patron saint, \
8t. Patrick, participated in Sun-
day by all Catholic societies of
the city, was one of the most
pronounced in recent years, i he
day was ushered in with a lengthy
parade through the downtown j
streets, terminating at St. Pat-
ricks Church, where solemn h*Kb
mass was celebrated to an audi-
ence that filled every available
space within the edifice. The
p;irade|\vasone{nf tnejongest ever
arranged in the cil\ upon a like
occasion. It was reviewed at St.
Marys Cathedral by lit. Rev.
Bishop N. A. Gallagher. The
sermon of the day was delivered
by Rev. David Foulkes, SJ.,of
Sacred Heart Church,and its elo-
quence touched the congregation
as is seldom seen, even upon St.
Patrick’s day, when orations to
the patron saint of Ireland are
noted.
FATHER FOUI.RES ’ SERMON.
“We are living in the age of
■materialism and commercialism
triumphant,” said Father Foul-
kes in opening his discourse,
•“the age of money and money’s
■worth. The money power today
shapes the destinies of nations and
regulates the liveo of individuals
It is the golden calf of the twen-
tieth century, and we see crouch-
ing before it,in obsequious adora-
ti.,n, a vast horde of atheistic in-
fidels. The modern unteligious
man lives for money and money
alone; ho scoffs at the idea of a
living, personai God; he ridicules
any belief in a code of laws of an
al (nightly, allseeing, allknowing,
everpresent deity. Gold and gold
alone is his only deity and pleas-
ure the only flag to follow.
“The saints, naturally, have
no place in such a groveling, sen-
sual word. They are out of touch
■with the times; they can not as-
similate the ideals of the age.
The saints were dreamers, but j er*—

Several day* ago one of our lead-
ing business firms had a visitor.
She wanted some fresh groceries,
for which the firm is noted as
keeping constantly on hand. The
customer was such an unusual
one and since she failed to have
the price, tiie proprietor was
forced to kick her out of the door.
It was a oow-ardly attack on a
useful member of our social econ-
omy, and the offense should be
noticed by the proper officers of
the law. However, siuce it was
the first offense of its kind the of-
fender should be let off with $1
and costs. We do not attach any
blame whatever to Mrs. Sookey.
