Columbia Council
Installs Officers
John H. Park Again Heads
Capital City Knights
(By J. J. Cormack)
COLUMBIA, S. C—At the annual
meeting of Bishop England council,
Knights of Columbus, in their hall on
Sumter Street, January 9, the exer
cises incident to the installation of
officers elected at a previous meeting
were held.
Officers installed were:
Grand knight, John H. Park; deputy
grand knight, Owen W. Bond; chan
cellor, A. F. Behles; recorder, L.
Blaze, Jr.; financial secretary, C. F.
J. Bultman; treasurer, C. J. Niggel;
advocate, E. J. Brennan; warden, Joe
Marshal inside guard, L. Blaze, Sr.;
outside guard, Frank Casey.
Trustees, J. E. Park, J. E. Hopkins
and W. B. Wells.
The installation services were put
on by E. D. Buckley of Charleston,
state deputy for South Carolina, as
sisted by his warden, Joseph R. Allen
of Bishop England council.
The officers of Bishop England
council who will be at the helm of
the council during the present year
are composed largely of young men.
The grand knight, John H. Park, has
been a member of Bishop England
council for the past six years; it has
been seldom that one as young as he
has reached the pinnacle in knight
hood in so short a time, being the
youngest grand knight in South
Carolina and the youngest Bishop
England council has ever had, and,
with few exceptions the youngest in
the United States. Mr. Park is one
of Columbia’s young business men
and is succeeding in business as well
as in fraternalism.
The members of Bishop England
council are well pleased with their
officers. It is expected that the coun
cil will put on a statewide initiation
in Columbia the latter part of Febru
ary, at which meeting a large num
ber of knights from over the state
will be present.

C0UNCIL PAPER OUT IN

Japanese Professor
Calls Mary Model
Non-Christian Cites Blessed
Virgin as Example
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
OSAKA, Japan. — A non-Christian
professor of the Imperial University
of Kyoto has been giving radio talks
in Osaka during the past year, during
which he has made frequently and
reverent reference to the “Blessed
Virgin of the Christians.” The sub
ject of his talks was, “The Young Girl
of Japan Today.”
The professor stressed, in particu
lar, purity. “Purity is not a fiction,”
he said, “it has been realized in its
perfection by the Mother of Christ,
whom Christians like to call the
‘Virgin of Virgins.’
“Our young girls in Japan,” con
tinued the orator, “are trained to be
come good wives and mothers. Here
again the Christian ‘Madonna’ the
‘Mother of God’ is their most per
fect model. The imitation of Holy
Mary will do more for the education
of our young girls than the heroic
example of any one of the women
famous in our national annals.”
During the past summer The Osaka
Mainichi, a newspaper having a large
circulation, published a series of ar
ticles on the training of young wo
men, and likewise held up the Chris
tian Madonna as a model for all
mothers, and future mothers. The
paper had perhaps been influenced by
the professor’s radio talks. Raphael’s
celebrated “Madonna of the Chair”
was used by The Mainichi to illu
strate its articles.
