COLUMBIA. S. C.—With over 100
Knights of Columbus from over the
tr.te attending Mass at St. Peters
Church, celebrated by the Rt. Rev.
Msgr. A. K. Gwynn, of Greenville,
State Chaplain, the annual conven
tion of the State Council met here
Sunday, May 6th.
James F. Gallivan, of Greenville,
was re-elected for another term by
acclamation. A standing vote of ap-
oreciation was given State Deputy
Gallivan for the outstanding manner
he has conducted 'his office and the
example he has set for Knights to
follow.
Other state officers elected for the
coming year were: John L. Sowers,
Greenville, state secretary, Major
Joseph R. Allen, Columbia, state
treasurer; J. A. Baumann, Sumter,
state advocate; William Rowland,
Charleston, state warden. Monsignor
Gwynn was named state chaplain for
another term. The appointment of
district deputies will be announced
later.
Monsignor Gwynn preached the
convention sermon. From the Epistle
of the day, he quoted: “Be ye doers
of the Word, not hearers only, de
ceiving yourselves,” and took for his
subject, “Catholic Action”, prefacing
his remarks with the Holy Father’s
definition of this subject. He praised
the Knights of Columbus for their ac
tivities in the works of their order.
“Catholic action means," he said,
“putting faith into action. Personal
sanctification by frequent reception
of the sacraments is paramount in
importance, not only for personal
good but for convincing a sceptical
world of the divinity of the faith.
“Our Protestant separated brethren
as we read in the press, are contin
ually proclaiming the necessity of
living the apostolic gospel. Though
they have no united voice to tell us
what it is, it shows a yearning
amongst the earnest and sincere to
remedy the evils that inflict our so-
called Christian society.

ATLANTA, Ga.—Old world court

Willis A. Sutton, superintendent of
public schools in Atlanta, said in an
address at the Fifth District Parent-
Teacher Association Conference in
Decatur recently, while the modem
way of courtship results too often in
broken homes.
In the old world, where parents
help to select the mates for their
children, there are very few broken
homes,” Dr. Sutton said, as quoted in
local newspapers. “The modem gen

spur of the moment, and often a cou

The candidate, advancing to the al

pronounced the vows of poverty,
chastity and obedience in perpetuity.
The celebrant, on the part of God,

hymns during the Mass, after which
the Most Blessed Sacrament was ex
posed. And so the ceremony proceed
ed in its significant solemnity and
beauty until, at the close, burst forth
the wondrous hymn: “Te Deum Lau-
damus”. In the meantime, flowers
were strewn over a black pall, which
covered the prostrate form of the
Sister, symbolizing her. death to the
allurements of this world. The Tan-
tum Ergo was sung and the solemnity
was brought to a close by the touch
ing hymn, “Go Ye Forth O Sion’s
Daughters”.
