Extension Society Rejuvenating
Church For Strangers in Chicago
St. John’s, Famous Old Southside Edifice, to Be Home of
Church Extension'—Monsignor Kelley, Bishop-Elect of
Oklahoma, Resigning as President.
(By N. C. W. C. News Service.)
Chicago—St. John’s church, the
first Catholic Church to be built on
the south side of Chicago, back in
1859, is to be rejuvenated physically,
and made an open church for all
Chicago visitors, under the direction
of the Rt. Rev. Msgr. William D.
O’Brien, LI. D, vice-president and
general secretary of the Catholic
Church Extension Society.
Monsignor O’Brien was appointed
pastor of the old church by Cardi
nal Mundelein, and commissioned
to make it the home of the fathers
of the Extension Society, and the
church of the strangers and the toil
ers.
Situated at 18th and Clark streets,
the church is only a short distance
from the great hotels and skyscrap
ers of the loop district, with their
tens of thousands of Catholic guests
and workers.
In addition, the rectory, a great,
old-fashioned mansion of 18 rooms,
will be the haven for all missionary
bishops and priests passing through
Chicago. The Extension Society
proposes to do for them in the city,
what it does for the parishioners in
the sparsely settled communities in
which it establishes missions and
churches.
Bishop-Elecet Francis C. Kelley
of Oklahoma, founder and for 19
years president of the Catholic
Church Extension Society, is at pres
ent in Amsterdam, attending the Int
ernational Eucharistic conference, of
the board of which he is a member.
His resignation as president of Ex
tension Society will take effect
September 30, at the close of the
fiscal year, following, which he will
be consecrated, and will go to his
new see.
Monsignor O’Brien will then be
come acting president, until the Holy
Father appoints a successor to
Bishop-Elect Kelley.
Meanwhile. Monsignor O’Brien will
press his plans with the rejuvenation
of Sti John’s, which at the time of
its erection was on the edge of the
prairie, at the northern terminal of
Archer avenue, then the “Archey
Road,” made famous in the Mr.
Dooley stories of Peter Finley Dun
ne. Since then St. John’s has been
successively the fashionable South
Side church; a church of the tene
ments, attended by the most cosmo
politan congregation ever gathered
together, of many races, colors and
nationalities; and( more recently,
a church isolated by factories,
freight houses and railroad yards.
Ihe parish boundaries, approximate
ly a mile square, contain at present
probably not more than 100 resi
dent families, of whom sixty per
cent are nomadic.
Under the new regime, however,
while keeping its pitrish boundaries,
the church will serve the guests
and employes of the great hdtels,
and on holidays will serve the
workers in the downtown district
with frequent Masses, up to 12:15
p. m. Daily masses and daily morn
ing and afternoon confession also
will be available, as well as after
noon services on Sundays and Holy
Days.
With Monsignor jO’Brien in the
extension work are the Rev. Eugene
McGuinness, LL.D., assigned from
Philadelphia, and the Rev. P. H.
Griffin, assigned from Indianapolis.
The extension fathers took up their
home at St. John’s parsonage last
Tuesday and. the church will beeome
the home church of the Extension
Society officially on August 1.

Augusta, Ga.—Augusta lost one of
its most beloved citizens August 12
in the death of John F. Vaughan,
veteran police officer, who died
after an illness of nine months.

John Vaughan,” The Chronicle said
in the account of his death. At
times sections of the city became
dangerous for policemen, some of
them being violently attacked. Mr.
Vaughan would then he assigned to
the beat and the lawlessness van
ished. His most powerful weapon
was his genial manner; his most
convincing argument his smile. He
made fewer arrests than any other
patrolman, but none preserved the
law better than he. He was a mem

which the funeral took place. Sur
viving are a son, Lester Vaughan,
a sister, Miss Elizabeth Vaughan,
and two brothers, Dr. P. J. Vaughan
and C. J. Vaughan.

IRISH STAINED GLASS INDUSTRY
.... ASKS PROTECTIVE TAX ....
Dublin.—Some of the best stained
glass in the world is produced in
Ireland. The industry is not, how
ever, in a perfectly safe condition.
It has to face stiff competition. Mr.
W. B. Yeats advocates a tax of 50
per cent ad valorem on German
glass until such time as the state
of the money market becomes norm
al between England, Ireland and
Germany. The principal customer
in Ireland for the stained glass man
ufactured in the country is the Cath
olic Church.

F. J. BARRY DEFENDS
SINN FEIN PRINCIPLES
Brother of Bishop Barry De
livers Widely Quoted Ad
dress in. California.
Special to The Bulletin.
Los Angeles, Cal.—Sons of Erin in
Southern California at their annual
picnic July 13th heard an eloquent
tribute to Sinn Fein principles from
Attorney F. J. Barry, a brother of
Bishop Barry of St. Augustine, Rev.
William Barry of Jacksonville and
Lawrence Barry, also of Jacksonville.
Mr. Barry said in part:
“It ought to be easy in this
country to find a willing and sym
pathetic ear to listen to a discus
sion which aims to advance the
principles of a Republican beloved
country, is founded on those prin
ciples and owes its greatness to the
liberties which they guarantee. No
apology is needed anywhere in
America for American citizens com
ing together and expressing sym
pathy and devising means of sup
port for those men and women be
yond the Atlantic, who with unex
ampled sacrifice and devotion, have
established for themselves a form of
government such as ours, the Irish
Republie.
“Right is a heaven-made law. God
gave it to Moses amid the thunders
of Mt. Sinai. Christ taught it at
Nazareth. Patrick preached it in
Ireland, and the Seventh Command
ment, “Thou shalt not steal,” and
the Fifth Commandment, “Thou
shalt not kill,’ apply to nations as
well as to individuals, and under
that heaven-madq law a sin con
tinued for 750 years does not be
come a virtue, nor can the robber
square with justice until he returns
the stolen goods, nor the murderer
until he makes reparation to the
dependents’ victims.
“The policy of Sinn Fein engulfed
upon the revolutionary trunk was
the means of unifying the nation as
it had never before been united.
Sinn Fein is a common Gaelic col
loquial expression having volumes
of meaning. It means self-reliance.
It means mutual assistance. It means
mutual confidence. It means self-
determination. The Gaelic League
developed in the minds of young
Irishmen and young Irishwomen a
love and veneration for the glorious
traditions of their land. This of
course was inconsistent with tolera
tion of English domination, and
when in 1916, the bugle was sound
ed calling the Irish people to arms
in support of their Republic, a
struggle began in which more unity
and solidarity were exhibited on the
Irish side than at any time in Ire
land’s long struggle.”
Mr. Barry told of the days of tur
moil when the Free State idea first
came to the fore, and closed by urg
ing all Americans to stand fast in
favor of their own form of govern
ment for Ireland.
Peter MacSwiney. brother of Ire
land’s great martyr, was present and
read the Irish Declaration of Inde
pendence amid great applause.
