Walsh of New York undér the auspices of White Cross council, No. 13, K. of C. Grand Knight Jeremiah A. Des- mond called the gathering to order at 8 o'clock and introduced Lecturer M. J. Coscoran as the ckairman. Lecturer Coscoran spoke of the origin of the lecture bureau, the objects of wiich, he said, are to sprexd the Catholic truths, educate aud to show the attf- tude of the Cathoiic church towards the great problems of the day. He re- ferred to the several speakers who were brought here Ly White Cross il. Dr. Walsh, ke said, has ziven to the supreme coancis for a series of lectures to be delivered in 30 of the cities of the United States and said Norwich was very fortunate in being selected as onc of those 39 cities. The lecturer then introduced Dr. Walsh to the andierce. Dr. Walsh talked on The Century of Columbus and said in brief:, “How did it come that Columbus discovered America 425 years agb? That seems a long time ago for any- one to have made so important a dis- covery. The Middle Ages so often called the Dark Ages, were scarcely over, men were only beginning to wake up from what Is often_declar- ed to be the dark night that followed the Fall of Rome, yet here is one of the world's greatest discoveries. Was it Columbus’ obstinacy, or was It a sublime exceptional genius, or was it just chance. None of these. Colum- bus came at a-time when there were perhaps more great men alive in Burope than ever before or since, more men doing things that the world will never forget and that continue to live and influnce succeeding ~generations than at any other period with one or two possible exceptions. It was the Renaissance and a large number of men were doing the most wonderful things. There are three men with K sounds prominent in their names, who were doing their work together during the latter half of the fifteenth cen- tury just before and arter Columbus discovered América. Columbus gave men 2 new world, but Copernicus gave men a new -universe. They had be- lifved that the earth was the centre of the Universe and all the other bodies of insignificant size compared to it ‘and practically its satelites. Co- pernicus taught them that the earth was not the centre of the Universe and by far not the most important body in it, indeed only ene of the mi- nor planets and is so doing, probably chanzed men’s modes of teaching more than has ever been done before or since. The third man with a K sound in hiz name wrote a little book. He looked into men’s souls and made the geography of a New World. His book has more influence subsequent generations than any book that has ever come from the hand of man, the Scriptures having come from the hand of God.

This is the time of fine printing and wonderful, beautiful binding. The handsomest books in the world were made. In every department of hu- man thought and striving_they were doing marvelous work. No wonder Columbus discovered America jusat at this time. His achievement was only on a par with what others all around him were doing. That 1s what Amer- icans ought to realize, that the dis- covery of America was just one event in the midst of one or the greatest centurles of human existence. It might perhaps be thought that at least in special service and ecare for others, our generation which has specialized in this matter should be considered as far ahema of Columbus Century, but such thought would only come to the mind of one who did not know the older period.

We take an old -husband and wife snd put them in poorhouses, separating them after a lifetime sogether. The little almshouse at Stratrord on_ Avon erected in 1430, each house with two little rooms to accommodate an old husband and wife so that they might pass thelr declining vears together, shows how differently they solved this problem. Next door to the guild alms- houses of the Guild school and the boys' playground was_where the old folks could look on. We put the old away from the children, their only consolation, they put them near them. They had old age pensions, and disa- bility pensions, they cared finely for orphans, they helped widows to keep the family together, they distributed arphan_children in families, they had no orphan asylums, those- . combina- tions which has been forced upon us by a great city life, and they cared for community problems as we are be- ginning to do now. That is what Co- jumbus Century should tnean to American who wants to know the real place of the great navigators in his- tory. .
