Besides the addresses by the several speakers a musical programme Wi presented -consistine of solos and cho- gus_singing By The Columbus Choral Soclety, a feature that met with the enthusiastic approval of the audience as was evidenced by the frequent and spontaneous applause that greeted each number. Grand Knight J. A. Desmond pre- sidea and opened the exercises by very graciously welcoming the guests of the evening and expressing the pleasure which it gave the council to see the large attendance of ladies. The first mumber on the programme was the singing of The Star Spangled ‘Banner by the Choral societv. in which the audience joined, standing. The conclusion of the song was e signal for an outburst of ;rv:.e Amer‘:l’ng sq\’yl!s it and applause that was long sus- tained. %hls was followed by The Rridal Chorus from Rose Maiden by The Columbus Choral_society. a solo entitled Darlin’® by Miss Nellie J.

After paying a slowing tribute to the work of the local coun- cil_the speaker said: This campaign for a permanent home for the almost 500 members ot the lo- cal council of Knights of Columbus appeals to all of us in many Wways. The members.of _this couacil have never failed to lead the way in every undertaking of our churcies. hospi- tals, Board of Trade, Chamber of Commerce and kindred orgenizations of every race. creed and color, in b half of the religious, charitable or in- dustrial welfare of Norwich. Who Would be so ungrateful as to refuse to reciprocate by helping these same Knights of Columbus now in their campaign for a home where their no- ble zeal may be encouraged and their good works multiplied? Deserves Public Encouragement. As a movement in bebalf of the most practical and progressive social re- form this campaign descrves . the heartiest co-operation of svery Pro- gressive citizew. There is not a fair- minided man or woman who can deny that one of the most dangerous influ- ences which threaten to destroy the ideals of Christian home and church and school is the so-called club and amusement place, too frequently the only recreation and social center, in- viting the young men Wwho are natural- 1y thirsting for pleasure and compan- ionship after the laborc and toils of the day are done. Whether we like it or_not, we must admit that the club whose chief asset is a bar and whose attractive fcature is a Sunday license must sooner or later weaken and im| many instances absolutely destroy the morality and good- habits of its mem- bership.

What is the Remedy? 2 Thep ask. “What is the remedy for this eerfous social disease?” Who can deny that our only hope lies in the establishment of social centers where the habits of our youag men are guarded, liquor, gambling and other vices are forbidden, and al_sorts of legitithate recreation is affc:@ed under auspices that tend to deve.sp the no- blest teachings of home and church and echool.

The speaker dwelt at length upon the great work the order is doing throughout the country in_ promoting the sublime principles of Columbian- ism. He referred particularly to tbe Insurance feature of the order as rep- resenting the business side of the or- ganization and closed hjs eloquent ad- dress with this patriofic declaration: The nation now confronts, a crisis, perhaps second to none in #ts history and it is a source of great satisfac- tion and honor to have membership in an organization which is truly patrio- tic in its teachings and thoroughly Catholic in its beliefs. We believe in constitnuted authority and rallv now as we alwavs have in the past, to defend our president in his_everv effort to protect the honor and integrity of our government. This is no time for weaklings to throttle the wheels of our government. The Knight of Columbus is back of our president to a man and in our pa- triotic work, known throuzhout the country, we strive to lead the world in the true Christian spirit of frater- nity.

He dwelt at length on the benefits de- rived by the Catholic women of Amer- ica through the spread of the princi- ples of Columbianism, the cornerstone of the order being the insurance fea- ture, which minimized the burdens of the ‘widows and dependents of de- ceased members. At the conclusion of his remarks the speaker was en- thusiastically applauded. .Carl E. Lyons then favored with a solo entitled, Give Me All of You, from Florabella. The Choral Society. Both the chorus and the solo work of the Columbus Choral Society was excellent and the audience showed its appreciation of it by the applause which followed each number..
