Catholic Devotion to Mary
Special to The Buleltin.

Catholics for the Mother of God
' was commended in a Mother’s
Day sermon by Rev. C. Excell
Rozzelle, pastor of the Meyers
Park Methodist church, who
said that the Protestant denom

different to her.
“We Protestants have almost
ignored the most renowned
mother of our race, Mary, the
mother of Jesus, .he said, “The
Catholics have enthroned her in
all parts of their religion, in
their poetry, painting, architec
ture. We have been most neg
ligent in our reverence for her
whose blood flowed in the veins
of the world’s Savior.
“We have been indifferent to
her whose breast pillowed the
baby head of God’s own Son. We
have forgotten the debt we owe
to this mother who along with
(tod- made world redemption
possible, and while those boast
ing disciples fled in fear from
their Master in His darkest
hours, His mother like all true
mothers followed His bowed
form to Calvary and there stood
amidst the howling mob.”

Officials Say Immediate Ap
plications For Reservations
on Special Train Necessary
(Special to The Bulletin)
Savannah, Ga.—There has been a
gratifying interest displayed in the
Eucharistic Congress pilgrimage to
be conducted from the Diocese of
Savannah under the auspices of the
Knights of Columbus, and there is
every indication that the state will
be represented at the Congress by a
delegation which will reflect credit
both by its size and its quality on
the Diocese. The Congress is from
June 20 to June 24.
The pilgrimage, which has the
hearty approval of Rt. Rev. Michael
J. Keyes, Bishop of Savnnaha, will
leave Savannah on a special train the
evening of June 17, will pick up
the Augusta delegation at Mitten, the
Macon pilgrims at that city, the
Brunswick, Waycross, Albany and
Columbus delegation at Columbus
and the Atlanta, Home, Athens and
Griffin members at Birmingham. The
special train which will run over
the Illinois Central and Central of
Georgia Roads, will leave Chicago
the evening of June 25, arriving in
Savannah the morning of June 27.
The dates of the Congres sare June
20-24.
Tlie cost of transportation and
lower berth from Savannah to Chi
cago and back is given at 870.12, or
$71.76 for round trip with upper
berth, with proportionate rate from
other points. W. J. Kenny, Jr.,
Cotton Exchange Building, Savannah,
is general chairman and he lias for
his assistants J. O. Maggioni, in
charge of Councils, J. T. McCullough,
railroad reservations, D. J. Sheehan,
hotel reservations, and N. T. Staf
ford, secretary to the chairman.
The pilgrimage was one of the
principal topics of conversation at
the state convention of the Knights
of Columbus in Macon last week and
it was the feature of the address of
State Deputy Wm. M. Mitchell at the
banquet following the degree at Co
lumbus this week.
The Chicago Eucharistic Congress
will he oue of the greatest gather
ings of its kind ever held anywhere.
It will bring to Chicago Catholics
from every corner of the globe; even
now they are sailing the seven seas,
from Asia Africa, Austrailia, from
the cold climes of the distant north
and from the heat of the South Sea
Isles, in order to be in Chicago next
month. The officials of the Georgia
pilgrimage feel that if the Eucharis
tic Congress, organized to honor our
Divine Lord, is important enough
to bring Catholics half way around
tlie globe to attend it, no Georgia
Catholic worthy of the name who
can possibly arrange to make the
trip to Chicago, even at a great sac
rifice, will absent himself,
Fifteen Cardinals, including the
legate, the personal representative of
the Holy F’ather himself, and more
than 350 Archbishops and Bishops
from practically every country in the
world have expressed their inten
tion of being present at the Con
gress. The Cardinal Primates of
France, of Spain, of Hungary, of
Austria, of Ireland, tlie great Cardinal
O’Donnell of Armagh, the See of St.
Patrick, will be there. It may be the
greatest gathering of prelates, priests
and people the world has ever seen
outside Rome itself and one perhaps
those now living will not have an
opportunity to see again.
There are plenty of accomodations
in Chicago, the officials there say,
but it is important, that reserva
tions be made at once, and applica
tion should be made lo Mr.-Kenny,
W. J. Kenny. Jr., Cotton Exchange
Building, Savannah, Ga., today. A
story about the Congress on the
front page of this issue gives such
details as hotel rates. The Knights
of Columbus committee is prepared
to arrange hotel reservations as well
as transportation if applications arc
sent in at once. Those from other
states desiring to make the trip with
the Georgia body are welcome.
