Order of St. Dominic, delivered the
sermon, outlining the origin of the
Holy Name Society, which commenc
ed in the 13th century at a time

its greatest height. St. Dominic was
instrumental in attacking and de

of refraining from blasphemous lan
guage and obscene speech, and of
urging men to receive Holy Com
munion more frequently. Father
Shea, in conclusion, urged the men
to -receive Holy Communion fre

to defend Holy Mother Church vig
orously when she is attacked by
blasphemous untruths, besides re
fraining from the use of the Holy
Name of God in vain and cursing.
