(Special to The Bulletin)
ATLANTA, Ga.—A recent extend
ed account of the history of Immac
ulate Conception parish, Westerly, R.
I., is one of particular interest to
Atlantans because of the connection
of the Marist Fathers with it and be
cause of the tribute it pays the late
Father Jeter McOscar, S. M-, the
first pastor of the parish after Bishop
Matthew Harkins assigned it to the
Marist Fathers in 1906; Father Mc
Oscar, who was pastor at Westerly
from 1906 to 1914, was subsequently
pastor of the Marist parishes in At
lanta and at Brunswick. Of Father
McOscar, the Providence Visitor
article said:
“The first of the Marists to be
pastor of the parish of the Immacu
late Conception at Westerly was the
Rev. Peter McOscar, S. M„ of At
lanta, Ga., who was described re
cently, by former Justice Sweeney as
middle aged, active, enegetic, optims-
tic and always a gentleman. He was
an eloquent speaker and it could be
said of him, as it was said of Homer,
that ‘the bees placed honey on his
lips when he was a boy.’ Father Mc
Oscar was loud in praise of the
Marist School in Atlanta and it was
his ambition to have a similar school
here. In addition to bis many other
good qualities, he was a good ad
ministrator.’
“Among the many improvements
made to the parish property during
Father McOscar’s pastorate was the
purchase of the lot at the corner of
High and Dixon streets on August 22,
1910- This is where the parochial
school now stands.
“It was also during Father Mc
Oscar’s pastorate that Rev. Henry
Bruno, S. M., then a newly ordained
priest, was sent to Westerly as an
assistant to administer to the rapidly
growing Italian population. He bas
been there continuously for 29 years.
“Father McOscar was succeeded on
January 2, 1914, by Rev. Lawrence
J- Kelledy, S. M., who served tbe
parish during the entire World War
period.”

MRS ANNIE S. O’DONOVAN
OF SAVANNAH PARISH DIES
(Editorial From The Atlanta
Constitution)
Recently the world was shocked by
pictures coming from Spain showing
a squad of “Loyalist” troops firing
at the statue of Christ, which has
stood for decades as a benediction
oyer the city of Madrid. Before the
rifles of these sacrilegious and un
godly soldiers this emblem of the
brotherhood of man, and the obei
sance of the world to Almighty God,
was riddled.
This revolting incident 'reveals the
vicious currents underlining the re
version to savagery which is mark
ing the conflict in Spain.
Antigod! Antichrist! Down with the
teachings that have come through the
ages based upon the adoration and
the worship of God and the Savior!
Hundreds of churches have been
burned, priests and nuns slaughter
ed, and even burned and crucified,
with the mocking cry that there
no such thing as God or religion.
No wonder that the fabric of gov
ernment is collapsing in Spain.
It is the same in Russia, where
churches have been defiled and turn
ed into stables, the name of God de
cried and religion declared to be the
opium of the masses.
Elsewhere in the world evil men
are busy disseminating this doctrine
of sacrilege and destruction. Even
in the United States, although their
number is small, the activities of
Communists and other radicals are
becoming threatening.
Fortunately there seems to be a re
action throughout the world, bom of
the realization that civilization itself
is based upon faith in God and re
ligion — the faith that brought Eu
rope out of the Dark Ages and lent
strength to the early pioneers of
America is carving a new nation out
of a wilderness.
The stirrings of the revival of faith
are limited to no faith or sect—it is
apparent among those who follow the
teachings of both the Old Testament'
and the New, among Jews, Gentiles.
Mohammedans and all others who
worship a Higher Being.
Religion is the very essence of civ
ilization. Reject belief in God and
human beings are returned, as has
been done in Spain and Russia, to
barbarity, with men leaping like
wild beasts at the throats of their
brothers.
Without religion civilization itself
will fall, and the sooner the world
goes back to the faith of our fath
ers and the old-time religion, the
better it will be for the rebuilding
of the civilization which was partial
ly shattered in the World War and
which has been staggering ever
since.
