Condusted on Preston Bridge—Flow- ers Strewn Upon the Water. A memorial service for the soldier- sailor dead of the nation, the first of its kind which has been held in this city was conducted on Preston bridge Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock under the auspices of Sedgwick Woman's Relief corps. No, 16. Associated with the corps in the service were Sedgwick post, No. 1, and Sedgwick camp of the Sons of Veterans. Representatives of the organizations marched from ‘Buckingham Mem- orial to the brifige where an interest- ed crowd watched the brief but im- pressive exercises. They were con- ducted between the colors, as the color bearers of the post flanked the group on_the bridge. Their purpose was briefly explained by the president of Sedgwick R. R. C., Mrs. Grace H. Manning, and _ the chaplain, Mrs. Mary Beswick offered prayer. 'Two verses pf America were sung as Professor Hérbert M. George, led with his cornet after responsive gxerciees by the officers of the W. C. In succession as they recited — brief memorial words representatives of the W. R. C, the G. A. R, and the Sons of Veterans ,and a dozen children from Broadway school stepped to the rail of the bridge and cast bouquets into the water. The exercisex concluded with taps, affectingly given upon his bugle by Professor George. The observance was under direction of the _ conference committee of Sedgwick W. R. C., of which Mrs. E. U. G. Baker is chair- man. Policemen Patrick Murphy and John Casey were at the bridge, keeping the erowd in order. No: h Bovs Honored. Friends will be pleased to learn that C. LeRoy Storms and Richard W.

The parade, in which the candidates and the visiting and local knights of the fourth degree made a line of 300 started just after 6 o'clock, the long line of men in dress suits and silk hats and white gloves, ith baldrics and swords making an imposing ap- Dpearance. Preceding Tubbs' full band, which led the parade, were Policemen Casey and Murphy, and just behind the band walked Master John M. Lee, Secretary Charles O. Murphy, Mayor T. C. Mur- phy and Dr. Thomas A. Crowiey, F. N., of Rev. Daniel Mullen assembly. Rev. John H, Fitzmaurice, F. F. of the assembly, had as guests in his automobile, Rev. Dr. John J, Wynne of New _Yorl Rev.

The parade proceeded from Water street and up Washington street over the line of march that brought them to the Wau- regan house in time for the banquet at shortly after 7 o'clock.

For the banquet the capacity of the big diping room at the Wauregan house was more than fllled, 230 covers being laid here, while the overflow crowd of 50 were seated in the grill. The tables were beautifully decorat- ed with graceful baskets of cut.flowers and en orchestra played while the menu was served, song sheets ena- bling the assembiage to join in the singing led by the New Haven quar- tette. After the invocation by Rev, J. H. Fitzmaurico, F. F., of Rev, Danlel Mullen assembly, the following was the menu served in admirable style by the hotel staff: Fruit Cocktail, Wauregan Cream of Fresh Asparagus, Fermierre Celery Radishes Olives Boilsd Filet of Halibut, Chateau Hollandaise Potatoes Roast Vermont Turkey Celery Dressing Native Asparagus Tips Potato Croquetts Cranberry Sauce * Finger Rolls Ice Cream in Forms—Columbus Fancy Cake Cafe Noir Sparkling Clismic Water Peter Schuyler Cigars Opened Postprandial Exercises, At 9.25 the banqueters were rapped to order for the programme of ad- dresses which were to follow. The ad- dresses were all of a higher order, stirring the banqueters to enthusiasm which found its outlet in rising greet- ings and cheers for each speaker and at several references to President Wilsor and the backing that the Knights as Christian citizens ought to give him there was prolonged cheers and applause. The post-prandial _exercises were opened by Master John M. Lee, who said: “In behalf of the Connecticut dis- trict, fourth degree, Knights of Co- lumbus, I desire to express my sincere thanks to the various agencies which have contributed to the splendid suc- cess of today's exercises; to Father Broderick, pastor of St. Patrick’s church, we extepd thanks, for his co- operation in opening his magnificent church to the visiting knights and for the kind words of welcome expressed from the pulpit; to the members of the degree team whose unselfish work has been such a prominent feature of the initias/ry exercices; to the speak- ers who will address us this evening, and who, at a sacrifice of valuable time, have come long distances to grace this occasion; and last, but not least, I desire to extend my personal thanks to the officers and members of the Rev. Daniel Mullen Assembly, who have so efficiently assisted in the work of preparation, incidental to this func- tion, which means so much to the members of the Knights of Columbus in Connecticut. This is a memorable occasion the annals of Columbianism in Norwich and an event which in the years to come we will look back to, with feelings of pride and satisfac- tion.” State Lecturer Toastmaster Master Lee then introduced Father Keefe of Plainfield, State Lecturer of the order, as toastmaster of the oc- casion, paying a splendid tribute to his great work in the interests of Co- lumbianism. Father Keefe was given a most enthusiastic reception as he arose to speak, and said in part: Hvery feature of today’s inspiring exercises, sir knights, must fill us with new zeal and love for the noblest ideals of true Catholic American patriotism and make us prouder than ever that we are sons of the “church of the ages,” “citizens of the greatest republic on earth,” and members in the highest de- gree of “noble Knights of Christopher Columbus.” At the altar of the Prince of Peace we prayed today for ability and cour- age to make us heroic defenders of God and church and country. In our deliberations this afternoon we learned wonderful lessons of relig- ious and patriotic zeal and accomplish- ment. Tonight, sir knights, let us begin this closing feature of our ceremonies with a rising pledge of loyalty and devotion to our spiritual and temporal commander in chief, Benedict XV, il- lustrious successor of St. Peter, and vicar of the Prince of Peace on earth, and Woodrow Wilson, the noble, high- minded, patriotic, prudont president of our country, the greatest republic on earth. May God bless and direct them both in their present difficulties. May the Knights of Columbus be always loyal defenders of the church, of Pope Bene- dict and the country of Woodrow Wil- ' son, The toastmaster’s duty, sir knights, consists merely in introducing _the speakers. Therefore, without further delay, I take great pleasure in intro- ducing the first speaker of the evening, the first citizen of Norwich, a knight of whom we are all justly proud, a man who in every public ‘and private act strives successfully to live up to the highest and best standards of true citizenship—His Honor Murphy. Mayor Murphy Responds. Mr. Toastmaster:— I regard it a great pleasure and privilege as Mayor of the city of Nor- wich to extend to the members of the Fourth Degree, Knights of Columbus, a most cordial and hearty welcome to our city, and trust that as years roll by this occasion will bring many pleasant reminiscences to you all. The order of the Knights of Colum- bus is a fraternal and benevolent so- clety of Catholic men, founded in New Haven, Feb. 2, 1882. The purpose of the society is to develop a practical Catholicity among its members to promote Catholic education and chari- ty ,and through its insurance depart- ment to furnish at least temporary financial aid to the families of de- ceased members. On_Feb. 22nd, 1900, the first ex- emplification of the Fourth Degree took place in New York City, when more than twelve hundred candidates from all parts of the United States re- ceived this degree. The order is now established in every state and territory of the United States, and it is indeed very gratifying to note the wonderful progerss the Knights have made. As 1 have said before, the aim of the Knights of Columbus is to develop practical Catholics, and a practical Catholic is sure to be a patriotic and valuable citizen. The people of Norwich may well feel proud to have the honor of having the WM. J. MULLIGAN exemplification’ of the Fourth Degree in their city, and although Norwich is not. as large as the cities where the Fourth Degree has taken place in past years, T hope the hospitality we have tried to show you here will overcome any inconvenience you may have un- dergone in coming here. Again, 1 welcome you all, and wish you success. New World Knighthood. New World Knighthood was the subject upon which Rev. John J. Wynne, S. T, of New York, an editor of the Catholic Encyclopedia, spoke earnestly end eloquently. Knighthood at its best, he said, gneant personal _sacrifice, whether through motive of patriotism or re- iiglon, and 1t is this meaning that the genius of the founder whom we keep in plous memory, the venerated priest of this state and diocese, Father Mc- Gtvney, has transfused into the knight- hood which we cherish and cultivate. He contrasted the liberty that we enjoy in this country with the restric- tions under which men must suffer in many other lands, and said that herein is the sublimest fruit of liberty that every individual can do his utmost for the highest good of the commonwealth not only unhampered by any untoward obstacle but aided and abetted by ev- ery other good spirit In the land. This is the fleld that knighthood has in this new world of ours—opportunity for service is unlimited; service implies self-sacrifice; self-sacrifice is possible only “vith liberty. Thers isng lim to liberty here. There must be no limit to personal service and self-sacrifice— oven should they lead to death as with our forefathers whoge memory Wwe keep, whose lives we perpetuate. ‘The Catholic Layman. Hon. Jerry B. Sullivan, judge of the. United States court of #-fl. New York, followed Rev. Dr. Wynne, speak- man, and making s powerful address that’ stirred hie hearers to great ens thuslasm and seversl o1 of anfihm‘ o indicated that there are three. factors, the church, home and state, which enter into the obligations of the Catholic layman, and how important it is that the home should be pure and true, since it is the structure upon which state and church rest. On every hand today is found the menace to the home in the divaree evil, and with the destruction of the home will go the destruction of chi¥eh and state, Judge Sullivan enlarged upon the duty which the men of Catholic faith have to support the parochial school, because they believe that education in Christian doctrine 1s necessary for their children. His purpose is not to support an antagonistic school to the public school, but tecause he be- lieves in the necessity of Christlan education. We look out today and see the world in a mighty conflict in which the destruction of human life seems to be the only alm. We stand as a neutral nation and a neutral people, guided by an executive, the most marvelous in the history of our country. The Knights of Columbus, true and patri- otic, without respect to party, stand behind him in protecting and sustain- ing our national honor. Where he goes, they go; and what he does they uphold. Great questions are presented for solution. Are you taking part in the consideration of these problems, and becoming a part of the public as- sisting In their determination. If materiglism and agnosticism are standing against the church who will sta for it? Who will stand as a mighty wall against this class? I an- swer unhesitatingly—the Catholic lay- man, edcuated to know the truth, im- bued with the faith that is everlast- ing. If he fails to maintain this di- vine institution it may crumble and die. These are mighty questions, and as I look out otday and see this wonder- ful organization known, known as the Knights of Columbus, I hail its pres- ence with joy. It stands for some- thing. Three hundred thousand strong, masterful in discipline, educated in head and heart its members should be the lay apostolate of the church. It is not possible to believe it was found- ed alone for jollification or even fra- ternity, magnificent as they are. It has a higher purpose. That purpose is to stand for the truth, irrespective Mayor T. C.| of what may oceur. Judge Sullivan pointed out that a REV. W. A. KEEFE certain publication which he said he would not name was allowed to be circulated through our postal depart- ment although it contained wickedly vile and caluminating statements about the Catholic church and people. He asked if the 300,000 members of this order did not have some among them who would stand behind the leg- islators who should endeavor to have the statutes so amended that to cir- culate such matter through the mails would be a crime. I present this to yo utonight! he said in_conclusion in the state of the birth of Columbianism, where this or- der originated, spreading its wings, not only throughout the United States, but in Canada, in Mexico, in Panama, and in the Philippine Is- lands. In appeal to vou, as a part of the strata of this great nation, to stand for the rights of all people, and especially yourselves, when the calum- niator is ‘at han Our great president has said that our country, recognition will not be given to rulers who obtal ntheir seats by _murder. The Mexican question is one that you should consider. Our oresident sajd iri addition that the solution of the Mexican ques- tion depended so much upon the rishts of property, that he hoped that when a stable government was formed it would recognize individual rights in the property of the citizen. When the time comes that a stable government is formed, will the Catholic laymen stand behing the president, and ask him not to recognize any government that makes the destruction of the Cathodic religion the basis upon which it rests. The shocking example of rapine in Mexico stands out at this hour as the greatest blot on its escut- cheon, and that by men seeking to rule. The day will come when it will have a stable government. In that day vou and I should ask our gov- ernment that in recognizing the Mex- ican government it recognize men who have consciences and hearts, and that its foundation shall not rest upon der and rapine. From Catholic University. Rey. Edward A. Pace, D. D., dean of studies at the Catholic university at ‘Washington, was not on the list of as- signed speakers, but was called upon at this point, and responded pleasing- ly but briefly, referring to the great work that the Knights of Columbus had done in the donations of scholar- ships in the university. This is the work in which the Cath- olic layman should engage. He is part of the nation. He should engage in its work in every public act. He should make his presence felt and known by his sterling qualities and nobility of character. He is part and parcel of this land. Why hold aloof? Why ot enter into the discussion of every pub- lic question, and become part and par- cel of it? This is the work I commit to you to do. State Deputy Mulligan. He was followed by William J. Mul- ligan of Thompsonville, state deputy, who spoke stronsly upon the topic Our Order. Mr. Mulligan said in part:— The Knights of Columbus have done an enormous amount of good work during the thirty odd years of its ex- istence; nothing has been left undone to provide for the care and education of the orphans, hospitals for the sick, relief of the needy, instruction for the ignorant and, above all, the promul- gation of those Christian principles essential to the life of any great na- tion. That at this time we want the world to know and we bear testimony to the fact that at atime when ing upon the topic The Cathollo Lay- | him in every way. men taught not make the man; that all who con- tribute to the nation’s greatness and eltering influence a estimated for what with -%m that he hdofi'*b b of spread ‘men ut. the country who will do in their power to assist poasible; a body of to believe that clothes do have the good of the country at heart, no matter what their position in life; their ancestry or surroundings, stand upon a common ground and share in @& common. citisenship. I believe our order lives in the golden age of chival- ‘and the conquest is none other than battle for life eternal. The City of God is still assailed on all sides by the enemy. The call is urgent, the umrnmut sacred and the conquest one in which every member can win the title of True Knight. To imitate example which Knighthoods history offers. us is our duty; to labor for the common good of man in the name of charity is the key-note of our greatness adn thé promise of our triumph. We are not so deaf as not to hear on all sides the cry for help that is filling our streets and our cities. The cry of the children ne- glected by those who should care for them. The cry for sympathy arising from the multitude of those who suf- fer injustice. The cry in the court for the protection of the law against brutal force of might. The cry of the sick and ailing who have no friends to bring them a remedy for their ills. The cry of those who have fallen and who are spurned by the world for seeking to rise again. Is it possible that men wtil hearts hear all this and Steer themselves against it? Or has the very commonness of suffering and need served on! ytoc make it appear hopeless and beyond the reach of aid? To such appeals, our order, thank God, has always listened. We have multi- plied in strength, not only in numbers, but in claims for noble recognition, and we must resolve to reduce to its lIowest factor all that is selfish and elevate to its highest point all that tends to bring out from every member of our corporate body the elements of true Knighthood—fidelity to God's law, fidelity to his Church and her laws, which will bring us wherever there is human need.
