It is not wrone, it is a virtue | to hold in holy memory the traditions| |of the mother land. ‘ | "Aside from the preservation of | |language and nationality there Is| |another virtue held by these people | that claims our attention—faith. To form of all nations one great family |manity.” He paid tribute to Bishop i i \ {lasted for Ludort, Dr.|Practically everything possible from | - the | NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, AUGUST 13, 1923. GOUP OF NOTABLES AND SISTERS AFDEDICATION EXERCISES HELD AT POLISH ORPHANAGE SUNDAY Photo by Gledraitis Studio of God, that is the ambition of the bulk of Polish people.” Enjoining the people to remain loyal to the faith of their childhood and to prevent any attempt to separ- ate them from their early teachings, the bishop advised them to remain as loyal to their ptiests and their church in the future as they have been in the past and spoke of the magnificient schools and churches they have raised in the past 25 years. “You have in mind that these children belong to you,” he said, referring to the 100 or more orphans, “but the first of all they belong to God. It is by being obedient to your leaders that all this has been done and it is to the credit of the people that they have followed their leader- ship. “We have blessed the building. That is a testimony that you have the faith you ought to have, joined inseparably to the virtue of charity. The lesson taught us by Christ is to love our neighbors, to love our own people, but more especially to love those who have none to love them. You should do more than simply ad- mire Father Bojnowski, you must come to his ald, the debt is enormous and the upkeep is tremendous.” At the dinner served to guests in the. orphanage at b5 o'clock all Nilan and referred to his assistance and co-operation in the erection of the orphanage. “If we of the Cross did not take an interest in the orphans, whom could we ask to do so? inquired the Bishop in response. “God has not only given us this orphanage" he sald, “but He is ready at every moment to reach out his helping hand to assist us. He congratulated Father Bojnowski and referred to the orphanfige 2s an institution of mercy. “The priest does not ask ‘What is its nationality?’ but ‘What is the work?" He does not ask ‘To whom does the child belong?' but ‘How can I help it?" ”* he said. “Orphans are our care, we were sent to save them, and the Lord helping us, ws shall do it.” Orphans Thank Father Bojnowski At this point an interesting feature was introduced when 13 year old James Enarose, an Italian boy who is an orphan in this institution, and Jane Szuic, a 15 year old Polish girl expressed their thanks to Father Bojnowski for his interest and care of them. The boy spoke in English while the girl addressed the guests in her native tongue. “We thank our”Father Bojnowski,"” sald James, “for this home and his kindly efforts in our behalf. We thank the Bishop and the clergy and our other friends for BISHOP RHODE OF WISCONSIN AS§ HE SPOKE AT THE DEDICATION Photo by Gledraitis Studly speeches were in English. The dinner two and a half hours the broiled spring chicken to several kinds of desert was raised on the orphanage grounds. ‘“Baumkehem” Served at Banquet. One feature of the repast, and which is served only on occasions of the greatest importance was a “bauwm- |Kkehem" or tree cake. a hollow cone- shaped cake built like a tree stump and/ standing about three feet high. The cake is baked in layers, each layer when cut revealing its marking iike the bark on a tree. According to Rev. Father Iciek, toastmaster, only two families in New Britain can make these, During the banquet Polish nation al airs were played by the Old Guard national anthem was sung everyone stood up. Bishop Nilan was selected the first and Rev. Iclek second. It proved to be a delicacy with a most dellcious taste. About 75 guests were present at ¥he banquet, In opening the program of specches, Rev, Jelel sald, "One year ago we assembied to Jay the cornerstone: today we are gathered here to dedi- cate this bullding to God and to hu- to cut cut the !Hwn' assistance. May 1L« Lord shower | his blessings un you alf’ Bishop Rhode was introduced as e moral guide of the Poles in | America,” and the man ‘who has | helped greatly to assist in the re- building of the new government across the water, for which service he has heen decorated by the Polish government. Bishop Rhode took as his theme, “The Polish. Priest in America.” “The Poles are more largely agricultural than the immigrants of any other race, and Polish farmer more than any other class has felt the full weight of the iron hand of oppression for the last 130 years,” he sald He referred to the failure of Russia and Austria to give the Poles any advan- tion whatsoever, and sald what they got from Germany was of little or value, “For this rea- son the Polish immigrant is the most helpless of any who land on our shores. The Irishman a full fledged citizen the minute he steps off the boat in New York. The German has had the benefits of education and & paternal government, the Italian at least knows how to sing when he gets here, but the Pole is entirely at sea There is but. one thing to which he can look, that is the church spires surmounted by the Cross. Ho looks . the tages of ed is {for his one friend—the Polish priest. “Father Bojnowskl not only runs a church altar and confessional, he runs a school, he runs a sisters’ home, he runs a bee farm, a stock farm, raises crops and in order to top the meas- ure and fill in his spare time he takes care of a lot of unfortunate and friendless children.” . Bishop Murray Praises Sisters “A great measure of the success uf this institution,” said Bishop Murray, “Is due to the zeal and self sacrifice of the sisters. These good women have devoted their lives to assist in the continuation of this institution.” “I wish to congratulate Father Bojnowski, not only on the material building he has erected here but on this group of devoted women who are helping to carry the work to success.” Families vs Dogs. In introducihg Mayor Paonessa, the toastmaster called attention to a more or less famillar statement that “pretty soon the foreigners will be running the country.” “If the foreign- ers continue to raise families and the old Mayflower stock continues to rajse dogs, we are going to run the country pretty soon, unless they adopt an amendment to the constitution giving the dogs the right to vote,” he said. Mayor Paonessa spoke as follows: “To express the congratulations of the city of New Britain, to Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski, founder of the splendid institution whose new home we are dedicating today, is one of the most pleasant duties I have ever been called upon to perform. This large gathering, representing citizen- ship from all walks of: life in our great cosmopolitan city, testifies to the support which Father Bojnowski is given in his great endeavor, in the interests of a holy cause. May his life be long and his strength great, and may New Britain always respect him in his wonderful work, “This splendid building, in which will be housed so many children, is |a momument to Christianity. As its rooms and corridors resound with the voices of children made happy by a gifted man, and as visitors pay tribute to the spirit ' of love and sacrifice which has prompted him in his chosen work, we, who are here, witnesses to the services of dedication, will have reason to take pride in our attendance today, for by our presence we express not only sympathy with the cause this building represents, but we show our willingness to be a part of the fast growing muititude which is ever ready to respond to the call of duty—duty to the little children, one of the greatest duties of all, “My friends, ‘let us bear in mind a8 we go about our daily work, that there is comfort in service, and while [Wwe may attain to greater heights for ;Phn time being through selfiehness, the greatest satisfaction and the mest |genuine comfort comes from ‘helping others, Father Bojnowski, kind, |capable, and sincere, has devoted his life to the service of others. He has made thousands of little hearts happy. He has given to little chil- iren a home when they had none. He has gone about his work with a | definitg object in mind. *“Téday he 18 happy, becauss he sees in thie fine bullding, not gain for himeself, not the plaudits of tis people nor the praise of a communi'y, but a | shelter, a home, in every sense of the | word, for the little ones who might | otherwise be buffeted about in a cold, | strange world. His accomplishments [ should be an inspiration to all of us. | His example of love and service, his unflinching response to the eall of duty, his fine leadership, and above all his faith in God, all of which are brought directly before us in the form of this great building, entitle him to greater reward than man can give, but in our humble way, we can say a word of thanks forehis presence in our midst, and a prayer of hope that | the fruit of the seed he has planted | may grow and ripen, to the edification of his parish, his city, and his state, long after his earthly work is ended and his great reward awaits him.” | Counsul-General Speaks, “A three-fold person,” was the way Stefan L. Grotowski, Poland’s con- | sul-General in the United States, who | was one of the guests of honor, re- ferred to Father Bojnowski. “He is & good priest, a good Pole and a good American. Never forgetful of the land of his birth, he is always mind- ful of the duties of the country of his |adoption. One of the great factors in |the life of Poland has been the sym- pathy and assistance rendered by the United States. It is that spirit that - A Deep Sound Strikes Like a * Rising Knell” makes the strahger feel at home as soon as he reaches New York.”™ The friendship between this country and Poland will continue forever; it is sealed by the blood of Ameriean troops who fell in battle to make Po- land a free nation.” 4§ Head of a manufacturing industry which has made the products of New Britain so widespread that they are truly “Universal,” was the introdue- tion of Charles F. Smith of Landers, Frary & Clark. The qualities of Rev. Father Bojnowski as a leader and his wonderful achievements were referred to by Mr. Smith. He complimented the Catholic church in its stand behind the forces of civilization in the battle against anarchy and characterized it as the greatest organization in this fight. Mgr. Duggan, editor of the Catholic Transcript, of Hartford is the man who preached the ordination sermon. He congratulated Henry Ludorf, the architect who designed the building and referred to Father Bojnowski as a “wonder worker.” ‘“This orphanage,” he said, “will stand as a monument and inspiration to the Polish people of America.” George H. Dyson, introduced as “just as true as the jewelry he sells,” remembered when the first Polish family came to New Britain. He has been a great friend of Father Bojnow- ski and has seen the priest become a great leader of his people. ‘“People say there are teo many foreigners here,” he said. “Anyone who has that impression of New Britain had better get out.
