Charles Kirby, M. S., arrived in Norwich from Hartford Saturday to take the place of Rev. Francis J. Ledwith, M. S., who had left for Norwood, Mass, to open a mission Sunday. Father Kirby joined the two other fathers of La Salette who have been giving a mission at St. Patrick’s church for the past two weeks. He addressed the men Saturday vening on The Holy Mass. e‘;u‘nd‘uy at 7.30 was set aside especial- 1y as the mass for the men who were fin- ishing their mission week. Low mass was read by the rector. Rev. M. H, May, and then one of the convincing proofs of the success of the week came in the long lines of men who Wwent to the altar for holy communion, following cgnfession and the sacrament of penance tile previ- ous days. It was necessary to open the galleries to provide pews for the great congregation. Three mission priests ad- ministered communion to so many that by actual count on the part of one of the ushers 22 minutes were required for this. Father Conlon delivered the ser- mon. his theme The Home. At high mass at 10.30 Father Conlon again preached ,a forceful, logical ex- position of the Catholic prohibition of the evil of divorce. His text was “What therefore God hath joined together let no man put asunder.” He quoted the por- tion of the gospel, John 2: 1-11, begin- ning “At that time there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. And Jesus also was in- vited, and His disciples, to the yedding.” Favored as were those wedded in olden time in having the Saviour and His blessed mother as guests, said the preacher, they were ne more favored than are those who are duly wed before the altar whereon reposes the same Saviour who blest the wedding in Cana by His presence. Marriage instituted by the Creator has been advanced to the dignity of a sgerament by the Redeemer; the church of Christ ratifies the marriage contract as forever, indissoluble. What | God hath joined together let no man put asunder, said the Lord to the Jews of old, and the Catholic church is the only church which continues to declare the same binding character of marriage now as in the Saviour's time. In modern days men in_their pride have set their will against that of their Creator—have said as did-the angels of old, “We will not serve!” Sadly enough, it is our own country which is the most flagrant transgressor on this point of permitting divorce, ~with its awful wrongs, especially toward children of the disrupted homes. The preacher express- ed the hope that the time was not coming when the wrath of an offended God would be manifested toward this land, so in- differently permitting and condoning the | abomination of divorce. During this mass, as. throughout the exercises of the mission, there was in- spiring music by Organist Frank L. Far- rell and his volunteer choir. The organ at St. Patrick’s—which was the show instrument at the Buffalo exposition— retains its fine quality of tone and was heard to splendfd advantage Sunday, no- street grounds, Saturday.

At 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon the mis- sion fa s had invited the mothers of the parish to bring their babies and other young children to be blessed and for- mally consecrated to God. The invitation was ardently accented, more than 1.600 assembling. Father Kirby gave a short talk’ on Motherhood. then bestowed the blessing on the children as the church prescribes, afterwards going through the aisles and continuing this benediction in- dividually. ; The crowning ceremonial of the two weeks’ mission came Sunday evening, when the men of the parish assembled, 2,200 strong, for *+ final services. There was congregat; singing of familiar hymns, including the majestic Holy God, We Praise Thy Name, the hymn of the Catholic church for so many cen- turie sthat even traditlon gives no hint as to Its commoser as the date when it was written. The leader of the singing Father Kirby, who also led In the recitation of the rosary. Then came the solemn ceremony of the renewal of baptismal vows. As vested altar boys carrying lighted candles moved through the auditory and galleries, each CROWD CHURCH AS MISSION | AT ST. PATRICK'S COMES T0 CEOSE boy lighted the candle held by the per- .on seated at the end of each pew, who in turn lighted the candle of the person sitting next, and so on until, in an ine credibly short time, hundreds of lights were glowing; the other lights were then turned off, and in response to Father Kirby's request the great body of men, standing, responded in clear, decisive voices to the vows progosed by the mis- slon father, pledging allegiance to God, and renouncing the devil, and all his works and pomps, as had been promised for each by his sponsers when, an infant, he had been baptized. Father Kirby also gave the papal benediction. The evening's sermon was by Father Cotter, its subject The Catholic Church, Yesterday, Today and Forever. The preacher briefly reviewed the changes of the years, the dwindling of nations, the crumbling of thromes, the downfall of empires, yet amid all the upheaval and destruction the vigor of one institution that has come forth unscathed, unnurm- ed, her glory untarnished, her fair name before the wrold unstained. This, he de-/ clared, is the Catholic church—the only church that Jesus Christ established. For nineteen hundred years the Catholic church has defied the world, and because it is of God it exists today—it is destined to last until the church militant on earth is lost in the church triumphant in heaven. § The twelve fishermen who went forth from the Cenacle on the first Pentecost, to bring the nations of the world under the standard of the cross, faced a gigan- tic task; but they were not without hope, since they relied. on the words 'of Him who sald, “Behold, I am with you all days even to the consummation of the world.” The growth, the progress, the wondrous development, the unceasing ex- pansion of the Catholic church since this humble beginning was traced by the preacher, who paid an affectionate tribute t othe great head of this great church, the representative, in unbroken succes- sion, of St. Peter, the present holy father, Benedict XV. Although like so many of his predeces- sors he is in Rome, a virtual prisoner in the Vatican, robbed of the papal states, deprived of his liberty through the machi- nations of a robber king, who sits in the Quirinal, for centuries the home of the popes, nevertheless, though robbed of his | temporal power, his is a spiritual empire which inciudes the earth. The pope is what he has ever been in history, the greatest moral power in the world, 0 | that every nation wants the presti his influence, During the recent war he was the one power in Europe that stood out against brute force and party strife. The pope preserved an absolute neutrali ty, because his horizon stops not with national boundary, but goes beyond; for he_has spiritual children in every land, and under every form of government. His was the only voice to which the nations condescended to listen, for all knew that he was above suspicion of partisanship, and that his kingdom was not of this world, On coming to the throne of St. Peter, he caught up the dying words of Piux X, “Pray for peace. Return again to those princpies of Christianity which alone ca nsave Europe and the worid.” What Benedict XV did during The ‘recent war to better the condjtion of soldiers, to sweeten the sad lot of prisoners, to bring joy and sunshine into the stricken fami- lies of Europe, will stand out in letters of godd whe nthe history of the war is written, The services ended with benediction of the blessed sacrament, given by Father Kirhy. In impressing the necessity of perse- verance upon those attending the mis- sion, the fathers incidentally asked each person in the great congregation to pray | for them and the success of their work— | whether in this country or in the foreign field. Each expressed appreciation of the kindness and courtesies of Father May and his assistants, assured, the people that thelr faithful attendance and zeal had edified an inspired them in their | work, gratefully referred to the assist-| ance of organist, choir, ushers, those in charge of the religious articles and oth~ ers who had combined to make the mis- slon such a signal success. From Norwich, Fathers Kirby and Conon will return to Hartford, Father Cotter going to Meriden to open a mis- sion.

Lucas, the Norwich wea- ther prophet, who has beaten out most of the weather prophets around Connece- ticut in the last few -years on predic- tions, comes out with the following pre- dictions for the coming winter: The winter will be & very trying one with a lot of cold, stormy snowy wea- ther. There will be plenty of snow and tashioned winter before spring comes. He disagrees with the Cloud Digger, who recently had a prophecy in a Bos- ton paper that it would be a very mild winter, even milder than last winter, and that we wouldn't have any snow before January. “Watch out' and see who gets it the nearest. Mr. Lucas early in September offered to wager that the winter would be se- vere and cold and stormy but no one took up the wager. \ SATURDAY FOOD SALE FOR CHEIST CXURCH NETS $50 A food sale for the benefit of Christ church, held Saturday morning at C.

J. Sturges is now certain that his department will be | able to finish the work of examining all the savings banks, trust companles and other financial Institutions which come under its sup@vision by Jan. 1 nest. There are 209 banks, ete, to be examined every year. They are as fol- :0Ws: Seventy-four trust companles, sev- enty-nine savings banks, thirty-one bullding and loan associations, seven Morris Plan banks, eight investment tompanies and ten smal loan compan- es. This year, for the first time in the history of the state banking department, the bank examiners have made an in- ventory of the assets of each~bank, in- cluding its proverty. A copy of this Inventory is furnished the bank with a blank to be signed by the directors in Which they acknowledge having seen the Inventory and that they had taken it un- der consideration. This inventory ~will furnish thes directors with a detalled statement of the bank's affairs and, It the bank goes wrong. no director will have the excuse of saving that he was lznorant of Its conditions. A plea of ig- norance would contradict the statement to_which he had attached his signature. In addition to these examinations the banking department is required by law fo make a trial balance of every savings bank in the state and of every trust company, having a trust department once In five years.

OWEN AND BUELL TURNED THE TABLES ON YALE New York, Nov. 20.—Harvard's victory over the-plunging band of' Yale in the final of the season's big three meetings will stand Tne of the greatest accom- plishments of all the gridiron clans that ave worn the Crimson. A halfback named Owen, assisted by a quarterback called Buell, turned the tricks that left the Blue on the short end of a 10-3 score. There was every evidence before Brown of Harvard launched the first kickoff that the Crimson was outclassed by the voungsters from New Haven, and in the carly stages of the game, when Aldrich and Jordan plunged time and again through the Harvard tackles and center for gains and first downs, this much talked of Blue superiority seemed to R panning out. And it was so later .when, with the wind against them, the Blue got in trou- ble on the kicking, but marched over into Crimson territo 4 the bulk of Jordan and the determined plunging of Captain Aldrich. But_in the latter stages of the third quarter, Quarterback Buell, who for two seasons had been in the Harvard lineup as a zeneral, standing off and telling his warriors what to do, decided to carry out personally one of his own ideas. He did 50 in a splendid manner and when he came to earth it was on Yale's.12 yara line. The quarter ended and in the be- ginning of the next, Owen, the depend- able, plunged across with the touchdown from which Buell kicked goal. Yale tried desperately to take the lead again, but Harvard's real defensive fight was made and. they were held. Later Owen hooted a goal from the field, the final scoring play. Captain_Jim Robertson of Dartmouth, one of the season’s stars, was in poor form when his eleven was sent against Syracuse and it was mainly through his poor punting that the Orange was able to win, 14 to 7. Down in Bethlehem, Pa., Lafayette triumphed over Lehigh, 28 to 6. It was the third vear in succession that Lehigh has suffered defeat by La- fayette. West Virginia underestimated the strength of Rutgers and started nine sub- itutes against them in the clash at New Brunswick, J. Rutgers scored two touchdowns in the, secorfd quarter and West Virgina, in an effort to overcome the scoring lead, sent in_ its regulars. Only one touchdown could they accom- plish, however, against the Rutgers: de- fensive. The final score was 17 to 7. Brown concluded its season with a hard earned 7-0 victory over Colgate at Providence. Williams found Wesleyan an easy opbonent and won, 40-0. George- town played listlessly against Boston col- lege in the early minutes of their game, but fought hard later and won, 14 to 10. Haverford was too weak for Swarthmore, which won, 55 to 0. Johns Hopkins was a 17-3 victor over St. John's, and Gettys- burg scored four touchdowns on a varied offensive against St. Mary's. New Hampshire's fast backfield earried it to a 13 to 7 victory over Holy Cross in a stiff fight carried on for the most part in midfield. HARTFORD INTERSTATE FIVE HUMBLED EMERALDS (Special to The Bulletin.) Willimantic, Nov. .20—The Emerald basketball five were humbled by the Hartford Interstate quintette Saturday night at Hartford by the score 28 to 40. Clever shooting and fast, snappy passing featured throughout the contest. The playing of Larson and Normandin for the Emeralds was good, while Hay- and Johnson starred for the winners. The first half proved to be the most interesiifsThe game seesawing back and forth, and ending with the score 12 to 11 in the Emeralds’ favor. Hartford ran away from their oppo- nents in the second half, getting a lead that could not be overcome, and con- tinued to draw away until the fii'sh.

CLABBY PRCBABLY THROUGH WITH THE RING GAME Jimmy Clabby, formerly of Norwich, the American middleweight, who is now in Australia, is probably through with the ring game for life. He recently was stopped by Frank Burms, a native Aus- tralian, who is being primed to take the place of Les Darcy. Burns gave Clabby a terrific Jacing, according to accoun and then stowed him away in the sixta round. Burns is carded as a real comer and one who is destined to hold the |world’s champicnship before many {months. Burns Is being credited with being scientific and a stiff puncher. Clabby put up a zood defense in the ear- Iy rounds, but he seemed tq tire rapid- 1y in the third and from that time until the finish was said to be the softest kind of picking. Clabby’s friends stated that after the bout that the American was through with the padded gloves.

Mellon, have given to the University of Pittsburgh a plot of land acquired at a cost of $1,500,000, it was announced by Chancellor John G. Bow- man tonight. The property, some four- teen acres, lies between the university and Carnegie institute, in_the education- al center of the city, and on it will be erected laboratories dedicated to ehem- istry, physics, mathematics and biology. The gift supplements a former gift of the Mellons which some years ago result- ed in the opening of the Mellon Institute of Research as a part of the university. It is the intention of the university, Dr. Bowman said, to make the institution tae “world center in scientific teaching and research,” equipped with the most mod- ern laboratories, and designed “to trans- late industrial success into terms of hu- ma nhappines, stability and spiritual strength.” The property acquired for the univer- sity was long owned by the late Henry Clay Frick, and it was stated that the executors of Mr. Frick's estate dropped $1,000,000 from”the price when it became known that it was to be use for th university.

CG-OPERATIVE AID FOR CHINA 1S HOPED FOR ‘Washington, Nov, 20 (By the A. P.)+ Recent issues of influential organs of the press in the Far East, just received here, express nanimously the hope that the ‘Washington conference will devise some means of co-operative aid for China. The dominating note in most articles is the desirability of the powers sinking any rivalries they may have in the common | purpose of helping China since it would be for their own fuure interest as well as_that of-the Chinese. Everything possible should be done, It is pointed out, to establish order, and. it possible, to set up some central authority. be found of providing money to pay and disband unnecessary troops and to re- establish- the nation's creait structure. The China year book of 1921-22 is quoted as estima‘ing the foreign debt of China to be $2,000,000,000, with a deficit of $9,000,000 a month accruing to the Peking treasury. - CONFERENCE OF PUBLIC OWNERSHIP LEAGUB Chicago, Nov. 20.—Under private own- ership the railroads “have become finan- cial, physical, mental and moral bank- rupts who obey neither the laws of God nor man,” Glega E. Plumb, spacial at- torney for the Yabor brotherhoods told the public ownersh#p conferegce of the Pub- lic Ownership League’ol America in an address tonight. “The roads have incurred financial ob- ligations of twenty millions of dollars,” said Mr. Plumb.
