Rev. Thomas J. S. McGrath,
S.J., Awards Gold Medals
at Dubuque, Iowa, Mission
(By N. C. W. C. News Service.)
DUBUQUE, la.—Six Catholic won-
men .each the mother of 13 chil
dren, were decorated with gdid
medals at St. Columbkill’s Church
here, on the occasion of the blessing
of the babies of the parish.
The blessing was a feature of the
eight-day dogmatic mission conduct
ed by the Rev. Thomas J. S. Mc
Grath, S. J.. of Shreveport, La.
Fattier McGrath had announced
that a solid gold medal of Christ and
His mother would be presented to
’ the mother of the largest number of
children. At the blessing ceremony
the missionary asked from the altar
if “there is in the church a mother
of 20 children?” From that number
he came down the line until he got
to 13, when the six women approach-
i ed the altar rail.
Father McGrath had made prep
arations for a tie, one of the provi
sions being that the medal, in event
of a tie, would go to the mother of
the oldest child. Mrs. Nicholas Loes,
whose oldest is 57, received the
medal. Identical medals for the
others: Mrs. Thomas Cox, Mrs. Anton
Schustre, Mrs. Charles Hos. Mrs.
Cornelius Ryan and Mrs. Matthew
Kenneally—were ordered bv the mis
sionary and will be delivered to
their homes.
At the blessing, 153 children were
present, ranging in age from less
than two weeks to six years. The
silver medals of the Immaculate Con
ception. offered for the youngest boy
and girl present, went to Arthur
Francis Houselog. born - September
22nd and Elizabeth Jane CosTey. born
September 19th.

NEW YORK—The Rev. Francis P.
Dyffy, chaplain of three years, Tues
day defended his faith for more than
an hour from the attacks of 250
philosophy students and teachers,
many of them of different creeds, in
the opening of a religious symposium
at Columbia University.
Father Duffy condemned birth
control in answer to one question;
replving to another on evolution, he
said that many Catholics accept the
theory but “the mind and soul can
not be explained by any process of
logical development.”
The* chaplain criticized Freudism,
Ccueism, hypnotism and behaviorism
as fads already in a dcclfr r
Defending his acivity on the battle
field, Father Duffy said he never
had raised his hand to kill a fejlow
man. “In the last war, when wc
were hard pressed,” he said, “the
colonel gave me a grenade and told
me to defend myself. But I gave it
back because I couldn’t use it.”
" Replving to a student who asserted
that Christianity is to blame for the
trouble of the world, Father Duffy
said: “The fault isn’t with Christian
ity, but with good old John H.
Humanity.”
Among the more facetious ques
tions propounded was one asking if
dogs go to heaven, to which the
chaplain responded: “I don’t know. I
hope so. Above all animals. I th'nk
dogs deserve heaven most.”
