Mountain Heard in 18, 1915 DAY OBSERVED Eloquent Address—The Faith Instilled by St. Patrick the Foundation of the National Characteristics of the Irish Race—Irish Brains and Irish Brawn Have Added Strength to Every Free Country. Rev, David J, Mountain of New York who fs one of the two assistants to Rt. Rev. Mgr. John E. Burke, director general of the Catholic board for mi sion work among the colored people, was the St. Patrick’s day orator at the service eld Wednesday evening at St. Patrick’s church where the con- BT ation that completely filled the body of the church listened with close attention and great pleasure to the eloquent address upon the theme of the evening. Members of the First di cient_Order of Hibernians, two ladies’ auxiliaries, had seats served for them at the front, having met in the basement of the church | and marched in a body just before | the beginning of the ice. Deep down in the hearts of every one of us, said Rev. Father Mountain in his opening words. is a feeling that we all know, but that baffles all description. It is found alike in child- hood and in old age. We cannot de- fine but we call it love, and love is the strongest motive power in the world. Next to love of God, is the love of country, the love of the land of our birth, ang_for this the Irish race is singularly distingui: d. He spoke of the antiquity of history, running back till it is in fable, vet no matter how far 1 it runs, at no period is it shown t the Irish were savages or barbarians. They were aly an intellectual peo- ple, great even in their paganism, be- fore the coming to them of S rick, but it is the faith that he stilled into their lives that has been the foundation of their individual and national character. It was the thought of the thousands of sou ng in India that inspired Francis Xavier, and it was the thought of pagan Ireland that inspired Pat- rick to devote his life to missionary labor for that people. It moment in his life when he was after many years of study, to s upon that island’s shores to bring the light of Jesus to Ireland. The preacher vividly described the success which attended the preaching of St. Patrick, making his pa: through Ireland one of triumph giving him to see what no other mis- sionary has ever seen, the conversion of an entire people without the shed- ding of a drop of blood. Kor 30 years he labored until the land was studded with churches, schools and convents. Wonderful as the Irish had been in their paganism, they were still more wonderful under Christianity, and Ireland became the land and Irish men went for aries, her priests carrying the light of Jesus to other people. Centuries of persecution have scattered them in Irish lost many lands, but wherever you plant v Irish family, there you find men and women true to the faith that has come down to them from the days of St. Patric The for their Irish have always been noted love for the country of their birth and the land of their adoption. Wherever they have gone they have loved the land that took them in and they have helped build up the country, contributing their part conspicuously whether in statesmanship or in war. For England, too, they have fought and the men now holding the highest in the English army are Where is the free country strength has not been inc Irish blood and Irish brawn? ever the flag of liberty h: furled, the same intrepid spirit has been shown by Irishmen in the help that they have given to the lands of their adoption. If asked wh are so impuls whose sed by Where- been un- the American people I should say, sald Rev. Fr. Mountain, that it is due not so much to their surroundings as to the preponderance of Irish blood in their veins. Wherever people, pure, Ireland has sent her she has sent forth a strong, bhold peasantry and that is what our country ngeds today. We need men of backbone and moral stamina and that is the kind of men that Ire- land has sent out. Years of persecution such as no other country has known has failed to rob them of their faith, which the foundation of their individual and na- tional character. There were 200 ve: when the mass was forbidden to aid, but it was said at night secret- and in hidden spots in the woods or in caves and_throughout all this bitter period the Irish people remained irue to the message that St. Patrick i given them. Thus today the descendants of these people can lift up their heads with pride in such an ancestry, for in their veins flows the blood of kings and martyrs and saints. Let them then resolve never to be traitors to that blood nor unfaithful to those who have gone before them and it can be said of Treland that her star is rising, her night of suffering is over anq the full noon of her freedom will soon be heard. The music the service was especially suited to the theme of the evening, Organist F. L. Farrell ren- dering the Irish airs and the hymn to St. Patrick being sung in fine voice by Mrs. Farrell, soprano, with John Sullivan, tenor, in the duet.

Frank DeCorcy Grady of No. Omneco street rounded out his 65th birthday on Wednesday, and the anni versary was observed by several of his neighbors, who hoisted the Stars and Stripes in his honor. This unusual homage paid Mr. Grady was brought abcut by the fact that last year his birthday passed unnoticed until it was brought to the attention of his family a week or so later. Mr. Grady received a postcard show- er. as some 60 of his fellow employes at the Richmond Radiator plant, where he was employed for nearly a quarter of a century, and at the John T. Young Boiler plant, where he is now engaged, remembered him with cards. There were cards from nearly every state the union, some coming from the Pac coast, and he also received flowers, two birthday cakes and candy in addition to the felicitations from friends. Mr. Grady is a native of Hanover Green, born March 16, 1850, and is the son of Francis DeCorcy Grady and Clarissa Barrows Grady. He came to Norwich when he was 4 years of age and is the oldest resident of the Falls, resarding length of residence, although he is some years the junior of several of the residents in that section of the city.

VETERAN WEST SIDE BLACKSMITH RETIRES George W. Harris for Half a Century a Carriage Maker and Blacksmith After a record of fifty years as a carriage maker and blacksmith, George W. Harris has retired and will pass h remaining days enjoying the re- sults of a well ent life. Although in his 73rd year, Mr, Harris has al- ways been active, vigorous and en- thusiastic in all his efforts, Mr. Harris was born in South Hampton, L. I, Nov. 2, 1842 and his younger days were passed in appren- ticeship to a farmer. Later he entered his brother’s employ in his blacksmith shop and he afterwards learned the carriage maker's trade. At the breaking out of the Civil war Mr. Harris wished to enlist and went as far as giving in his name. The captain of the company refused to take him, as he was under age and because his mother objected owing to his youth. Another of Mr. Harris’' en- deavors were frustrated when he a: ed the captain of a whaler to take him on a cruise. On June 13, 1862 Mr, Harris came to Connecticut and in this city he worked in a shop later owned by P. J. O’Connor. He later went into com- pany with Mr. O’Connor under the firm name of O’Connor and Harris. Mr. Harris was identified with this firm for ten years. In 1890 Mr. Harris® brother died in California and on Sept. 1 of that year he went to Los Angeles. He traveled the Pacific coast as far as the Nook- sak river and then returned to Nor- wich on November 31. For a few years he worked for John H. Scott of the Scott and Clarke cor- poration and then bought from the Ramage estate the shop which he oc- cupied for the past 20 years or more at 354 West Main street. On ac- count of failing health Mr, Harris re- tireq from business recently and has leased his shop to a blacksmith.

From that same region envy and famine conspired to send the children of Abraham into Egypt, which until re- ly was embraced in the Empire of the Ottomans. Thence, as they marched back from Africa to A through the Wilderne: of Sin to the Promised Land, they never once set foot off of what came to be Turkish scil. And when the Star of Bethle- hem arose it stood over a manger, on land that is now Turl h soil. “In A Minor once dwelt Croe- sus, whose name to this day expresse: the last degree of wealth.

Mohammed, and the re- ligion, which bears his name, and now claims several hundred millions adherents, were also born in the Otto- Empire. The greatest of these ancient em- pires was the Babylonian. The Babylonians built their civilization upon an irrigation ditch and made Babylonfa a land teeming with peo- ple, the seat of magnificent cities, and the home of a world-conquering em- pire. Babylonia rivaled the Valley of the Nile in_ production. Every Greek traveler who wandered that way marveled at the luxuriousness of the crops of Mesopotamia. Even Herodo- tus hesitated to tell the story in its fulness lest the people for whom he wrote history might regard him as a nature faker. The hanging gardens of Babylon stirred the admiration of the travelers out of the west, so_that they wrote them down as one of the seven wonders of the world. Nebu- chadnezzar built them for his wife, Amytls, the beautiful Mede, to rescue her from her homesickness for her native Median hills. “King Sargon, though he lived at the dawn of history, reviewed Lis reign much as a President of the Uni- ted States or a great European sov- ereign might review his official career. He tells us that he restored ancient ruined cities and colonized them; that he made barren tracts of land fertile that he gave his nation a splendid system of reservoirs, dams, and canals; that he protected the needy from want, the weak from oppression, filled the nation’s granaries with corn, brought down the high cost of living, and found new markets for the na: tion’s products. “Babylon’s fortifications are said to have had a circumference of 55 miles, the outer wall of which was 360 feet high and 85 feet thick.

New Haven, Conn., March 15, 1915. To the Town Fire Warden of the Town of Preston: In view of the unusual dry condition now prevailing, you are hereby in- structed to issue no more permits for kindling of fires in the open until suf- ficient rain has fallen to reduce the danger of forest fires.
