Leo Sullivan, curate at St. Josep! church, preached ' an elo- quent sermon at the masses yesterday, in references to the entrance into the war by the United States. Father Sullivan spoke in part as follows: “The flame of the European war which is burning so flercely among-the nations of the old warld, has at jast leaped over into our own bsloved land and we; too, are to ex- perience some of its degtructive prop- erties,” In any great or danger men are always on the alert straining every energy of mind and bedy. to minimize and eventuajly ward off the impending disaster. Every intelligent American is alive to the situation which threatens our nation and from a’life of peace we are suddeniy cast into a sea of way, where . the - hum- ming of the cannon and the scream- ing shells will consume our weaith and precious lives of our defenders. “America has many times experi- enced the sufferings of war, the Rev- olutionary war, the war of 1812, the Mexican wap, the Civil war and the Spanish war. But she has never known deféat, and all the trials and tribulations of warfape were met and worsted, in & manner gratitying to our country. Jn an address before parliament recently, Lloyd George said America has never entéred a war of aggression, but did so where freedom and liberty justified the action. Today we are involved in the greatest war the country has ever seen.. God knows and the world at jarge knows that our entrance into this conflict was not of our own desire or wanting. “For two vesrs the président has piloted us through a sea of- trouble, doing everything possible to avold what eventually ended in the declara- tion of war. But in such a contest &s this whers autoeracy is a against democracy, where kings'and emperors are making their last des- perate stand in a world that has out- srown their usefiuiness, we, the great- est democracy of all time, must nat- urally line up .against the last vestige of tyranny and absolutism against the greatest empire of modern times, the Prussian war country. ‘“We Are Going to Conguer.” ° “We are going' to conquer, we have all the natural resources, men, ammu- nition, ‘etc., to build up our powerful army and navy. - There are ‘from twenty-five to thirty million men to cal]l on, “The question naturally comes into our minds and will not be downed: ‘What part am I to play in this war, in which my country is involved and am I to enter the ‘navy and thus make America the ruler of the seas, or am I going to enlist in the army 1o carry out whatever commands the leader may give? * “And right here it would be quite apropos to remark that one of yout own co-religionists, Commodors Jack Barry, was known as the “father of the American navy.” In the revolu- tionary war Major General John Sul- ll‘ya.n covered himself with glory and thé deeds of General Phil Sheridan are aiso written on the pages of his- tory of the Civil war. ¥ ) “Even though we may not be called tothe colors everyone of us have a part to play to help our heloved ‘try, for in entering the war, Am will be forced to assist thelr allies with food and the output will be greatly taxed. It is time to begin to think about gardens and I would ask all to enter into this with interest. The home garden plan/is an excellent one. \ “While we are preparing to save our country let our, prayers for peace ascend continually to God’s throme, so that He may send His peace to u ‘Peace on earth to men of good will.’ SAFETY BOARD MEETING.
