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.

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. R. H. Land. F. J. Bodeker Land Drug Co. Cor. Broad & Marbury Sts. Augusta, Ga.

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. HARPER BROS Art Store 426 Eighth St. Phone 730. Augusta, Ga.
