massive marble stairway of the bigprint shop and were attended by allthe employes, who munched theirlunches during the speeches and singingby the choir.As to this definition of patriotism the

speaker said further: "Love tender asthat of a son for his mother, 'strongas an army set in array'; loyalty, generousand disinterested, shrinkingfrom no sacrifice, seeking no rewardsave the nation's honor and the country'sgood."

Patriotism Binding Duty.Father O'Hern said it is not a matter

of mere sentiment, but a duty bindingin conscience, impelling to faithfulservice. "It is the very essence of unselfishness,for the patriot puts asidehis own interest when the welfare ofhis country Is at stake."The address was opened by the

speaker in congratulating the employesof the place on the magnificentobject lesson they were offering thecommunity of obedience to the voiceof "our chief executive" in assemblingthere today. "For it is in response tothe proclamation of his excellency, thePresident of the United States, thatyou are gathered here to render thanksto God for the manifold blessings receivedduring the past year, as individualsand as a nation," he said."And after all how fitting a thing, is itnot, that our President should setapart one day out of the three hundredand sixty-five on which to renderthanks to Him from whom all blessingsflow? And if so, should not eachone of us respond heartily to that ap-peal and cry out from the bottommostdepths of our hearts, with the royalpsalmist: 'What shall 1 render to theLord for all the things that He hathrendered unto me?' "

Continuing Father OTTern said: "Hehas given us all. What are we butmere beggars who have been clothedfrom His wardrobe, and fed from Histable? All we possess has come fromHim. The talents He has given us,the food we eat. the water we drink,the glad sunshine in which we bask,the pure air we breathe, the happinessand contentment that have come to usin life. They all belong to Him. Godhas lent them to us. How fitting thenthat we should return thanks for everyblessing, great or small.

Should Be Thankful for Peace."Last and greatest of all, we should

be thankful that we are at peace, inthe midst of a great world war. Thefirebrands of war are now upon theearth, spreading death and destructionas never before since brother firstlifted up his hand against brother.These burning brands have not yetreached our shores. God grant thatthey may not! God grant that Americamay yet be permitted to play therole of peacemaker, and that it may

Father O'Hern then spoke of the responsibilitiesresting? on each individualto help in the preservation ofthese blessings. "The duty rests uponeach individual." said he. "to help hiscountry by personal morality and patriotism."The address closed with an appeal

"Prejudice still exists, it is true, hutas President Wilson in my year bookso truthfully said. 'Prejudice is provincial:truth and justice go hand in handin this blessed country.* So. while hereand there the flickering light of themedieval lamp tries to ignite into ahigher flame differences of faith or politicsor nationalities, we can be perfectlyconfident that, as the years goon. the evolution of science and thespirit of international commerce willbring- about the solution of all ourproblems, and hand in hand with eachother, striving; for a common goal, wewill illustrate to the world that therecognition of all men on a basis ofequality is the only form of governmeritthat should he permitted to exist."We do not fully appreciate the opportunitiesthis great republic offers.
