The Junior Holy Name Society, a branch of the Holy Name Society, an organization for the guidance and train- approximating the ages of 12 to 1§ years, was founded in 1875. It is modeled upon the senior society, and has for in Christ's i by promoting through the period of adolescence re- spect and honor for His name. By a process of gradual development the society became definitely organized into parish units under the general di rection and supervision of diocesan unions. Short conferences at the regu- lar meetings of each parish unit, con- stant vigilance over the conduct, in- terests and amusements of its boys and the example of the senior unit of the parish are accountable for the success of the organization. Loyalty to God is a fundamental teaching of the society, but loyalty to country is no less an obligation binding in conscience than loyalty to God. The ociety teaches from the beginning the principle that loyalty to country is a Christian virtue, a positive religious duty imposed by Jesus Christ and His apostles at the dawn of Christianity. The virtues of obedience and honor also are stressed in the soclety’s teach- ings to the Junior Holy Name boy. The outh is trained to obey, and to obey promptly and cheerfully; trained to reverential submission to ‘the voice of authority ; trained to realize that he is not a law unto himself. Honor and uprightness of life must dominate the character and actions of the boys of the society. In their deal- ings with companions they are taught to be square. In short, the Junior Holy Name Society plays a definite role among the various organizations and societies destined to promote a better, cleaner, healthier, nobler American manhood.

You have come from every walk of life—clergy and laity—to speak of the thing: really worth while, to profess your love for and lovalty to our common country, to let Americans, of what- ever racial stock and whatever be- lief they may be, know that patriot- ism of the highest order flows from the very essence of our Catholicism God and country; Catholicism and patriotism; no man can separate them. “You come not to plan evil deeds of hatred against any man. You are here to give evidence of love for all men in our Divine Master and Savior, Jesus Christ. If our welcome to you is sincere—and it is—so is our gratitude. If Carroll and Neale, Marechal and Whitfield, Eccleston and Kendrick, Spalding and Bavley and the great Cardinal Gibbons could come back to us today, they, too, would welcome you and be proud of you. You are participants in a re- ligious act that means much for the Catholic Church and for America. On Washington's platform—religion and morality, the Nation's bulwarks—you stand. You represent the greatest saving power of the national life and its perpetuity. Thinking men in America—Jew and Gentile—know your worth to this republic. God bless you and keep you.” Will Conduct One of the most impressive re- ligious exercises of the entire con- vention will be staged tomorrow morning in the Catholic University Stadium. Enthused by the magnifi- cent spectacle at the solemn pontifical mass today and by the fervor with which the thousands of Holy Name delegates are entering into the spirit of the convention, Cardinal O'Con- nell announced to the convention to- day that he will celebrate solemn pontifical mass in the stadium tomor- row morning at 9 o'clock. This is the first public mass that Cardinal O'Connell has said during the con- vention and means that many thou- sands more will crowd the stadium than had previously been expected. Arrangements had been made for Bishop Hickey of Providence, R. I, to celebrate the mass tomorrow. While the Holy Name men were bringing the business of their con- vention to an end, they were pre- paring, in co-operation with the city authorities, for the momentous pro- gram of tomorrow, when more than 100,000 will parade, regardless of the weather, from the Capitol to the Washington Monument, where a pa- triotic_mass meeting will be held, with President Coolidge, Cardinal G'Connell and Archbishop Curley of Baltimore as the principal speakers. The police have made plans to han- dle a crowd of more than 200,000 around the Monument. Following the specches the vast assembly will repeat the Holy Name pledge. Candinal to Review Parade. President Coolidge, it was learned today, will not review the parade as it turns from Pennsylvania avenue to- ‘ward the Monument Grounds, as ten- tatively decided earlier. Convention officials belfeved it would be asking too much of him to review a parade which will be passing for about five hours and then make the principal address at the rally. As a result, Cardinal O'Connell will head a distinguished company which will review the parade Mass.

The parade will be in two main sections, the first for the clergy-spiritual direc- tors of Holy Name sfocieties, for the most part, and the second for the laity. As a mark of respect to Car- dinal O'Connell New England men will be in the third group in the sec ond section. The Boston archdiocesan union's representation of more than 1,000 will be led by Mgr. M. J. Splaine, the chaplain, and vor Curley will be chief of staff. This delegation will march behind the boys’' band of the Mission Church of Washington. Fire Commissioner Glynn of Boston will march at the head of this section of the parade. The only flags permitted in the pa- rade will be the American and Holy Name banners. Practically every marcher, however, will carry a blue and white Holy Name pennant. The only music will be Holy Name hymns of which Cardinal O'Connell and Bishop Anderson of Boston are au- thors. Moving and spectacular as this pa- rade will be with its thousands marching through more thousands down Capitol Hill and along Pennsyl- vania avenue, it will be surpassed by the spectacle of double the num- ber gathered on the green in front fo the Washington Monument to re- affirm belief in the divinity of Jesus Christ and lovalty to country. Its purpose is spiriual development, not political action, Father Ripple, na- tional director of the society, said. the ‘Will End Tomorrow. Cardinal O'Connell will preside at benediction of the blessed sacrament after the speaking at the rally to- morrow. The rally ceremonies will be over about 7 p.m., and most of the visitors will leave Washington at night. “It speaks for itself,” was the cardinal's simple statement follow- ing the Arlington ceremony yes- terday. He made his way around with difficulty and only with the as- sistance of his attendants, Mgrs. Splaine and Haberlin, so many press- ed upon him to pay their respects. The cardinal will remain here next week to attend a meeting Tuesday of the trustees of Catholic University and a meeting Wednesday of the hier- archy. The cardinal let it be known thrcugh Mgr. Splaine that he is de- lighted with the success of the con- vention. “Yesterday’s events contrib- uted another golden page to the lon; history of the Holy Name movemen! sald Mgr.

Letter Carriers to Be in Line. Not to be outdone by the police de- partment in percentage of members in line, advance officers of the New York Post Office Holy Name Branch, No. 273, arrived here with the predic- tion that 700 of New York's letter carriers, postal clerks and postal la- borers would join the ranks of march- ers. The advance guard, 75 strong, was headed by Rev. John L. Kiernan, chaplain of the New York letter car- riers and spirituzl director of the post office branch of the New York Holy Name Society; John J. Bruen, pr dent of the society; Clarence De Witt, secretary; Thomas James, treasurer; John Nevins, secretary; Thomas Schulz, financial secretary, and George Bernhauser, marshal.

The monument is 20 feet long and 12 feet high and is composed of Stoney Creek granite. On this slab of granite has been placed a bronze plate 10 feet long and 5% feet high. Worked in bas relief on the plate are 12 life-sized figures of the Sisters of the various orders that took part in the war. The orders represented by the Sis- ters in their habits are: A Sister of St. Joseph, Sister of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Dominican Sister, Ursuline Sister, Sister of the Holy Cross, Sister of the Poor of St. Fran- cis, Sister of Mercy, Sister of Charity (white coronet), Sister of Charity (Mother Seton), Sister of Charity (Nazaroth, Kentucky) and Sister of Providence.
