Rev. Father O'Keefe Attacks
Foul Language, Perjurers and
Immorality In Address Before
Holy Name Society Members.
HE THRILLS LARGE CROWD
"You can't fool God."
"Blasphemy and perjury are common crimes today."
"W,e, as Catholics, have a responsibility, not only to our church, but
to the American government. We
owe it to the nation to lead moral,
clean, manly lives."
"There is nothing more contemptible than a perjurer, who with his
hand on the Bible, swears to tell the
truth when he knows he is lying. But
he can't fool God."
""What the world needs today is
love and reverence for Jesus Christ,
respect for the laws of the nation and
a willingness to obey them."
"No ona is perfect, but that does
not prevent us> from trying to lead
the kind of life we know God wants
us to lead."
"Society will crumble unless it leads
a clean life. "We are the most prosperous people in the world today, but
if we forget God, forget morality and
develop an • animal citizenship it is
only a question of time when this
great country will follow the example
of other nations of which we have
read and fall to pieces. A moral nation is a God loving nation."
Father O'Keefe's Address
Standing before approximately 200
members of the Holy Name Society
of St. Paul's church in St. Paul's hall
on Sunday night, the Rev. Father
_,* O'Keefe, pastor of St. Mary's church,
Akron, launched an attack on blasphemy, perjury and immorality in
ringing, eloquent words that thrilled
his hearers and brought salvos of applause. No rapier thruster is Father
O'Keefe. He uses a two-edge sword
and he slashes right and left. Everyone knows what he thinks ttf the perjurer merely ^.by the-way In which he
mentions the word. Contempt in; his
voice, fire in his- eyes as he describes
the perjurer on the witness stand
ready to swear away a reputation or
a. life.
The blasphemer receives the'same
dose from the Akron priest that he
serves to the perjurer. It's a bitter
dose and he doesn't attempt to disguise it. He wants the blasphemer
to know that among decent men and
women he has no standing, morally
or intellectually. . When he asks:
"How do you feel when you hear a
man swear in the presence of a boy,
and that boy is supposed to look to
that man for proper guidance?" he
doesnt' yell, he doesn't shout, but his
words come slow and clear, and they
have the same effect on his audience
as the question of a judge when he
asks the prisoner, just found guilty,
"Have you anything to say why sentence of death should not be passed
.upon you?"
Marching for Years
Discussing the Holy Name Society
parade to be held on Sunday, October
11, all over the United States, Father
O'Keefe said that the first parade
. started at the door of Pilate and that
one ended on Calvary. Since that
day Christianity has been marching
onward and upward and people everywhere are proclaiming that Jesus
Christ is their King.
"There is no political significance in
this parade," continued the speaker.
"The significant feature of Christ is
that the longer the time since His
crucifixion the. more people know
about Him and the more they discuss
-Him. Here in your own community
your most distinguished citizen was
assassinated in Buffalo, but how many
people can tell off-hand the exact
date of President McKinley's death?
"Napoleon conquered Europe, but
the majority of people have forgotten
the date of his death on the island of
St. Helena. The same thing applies
to Julius Caesar, and even when we
recall the death of a beloved member
of our own family we are sometimes
at a loss to remember the, exact date.
It is not so with Jesus Christ. He is
the One exception. To revere His
nkme and obey His teachings is the
object of the Holy Name Society."
He said it would please him to see
numerous delegations iri Akron next
Sunday from North Canton and other
**u" ^® was given a great ovation
at theconclusion of his eloquent and
masterful address.
i'ay afternoon, October 11. More than
125 men will leave in automobiles
from the front of St. Paul's church
at 1:15, and after reaching Akron
will place a large American flag at
their head and march to St. Mary's
church. A. M. Hickey, president of
the society, will speak for North Caston.
At thc meeting here on Sunday
night Attorney Paul J. Gnau spoke on
;'The Practical Catholic." He advised his hearers to study the constitution of the United States and not to
go around with a chip on each shoulder. He said bigotry was not confined to any nation, religious sect or
political creed, and only by right
living could people dwell together in
harmony.
Another speaker was Mr. Martin,
president of the Holy Name Society
of St. Mary'8 church, Akron. He extended a cordial invitation to the
members to visit Akron next Sunday.
Mike Keller and Mr. Raden furnished the music. A. M. Hickey presided.
C. L. Konkel is secretary of the society.

ZION ^FORMED CHURCH.
[By the Pastor]
Rally Day and rain. But we had a
fine rally. The rain surely did not
keep all away. According to tag
count, 569 were present and enjoyed
the fine program.. The congregational singing, the special numbers,
the lesson study under the leadership
of our old-time friend and fellow-
worker, Russell Shettler, and the fine
address by Professor D. M. Beck, of
Mt..Union College—all wera of a high
type and made us all feel that it was
good to be .present; And it is to be
hoped, a new grip will have been gotten on the work Zion has to do. Just
to look at the religious force that this
church can mustor is thrilling, and a
sight of the children the elementary
department has on its roll, with a
prophecy of immeasurable possibilities, magnifies the work as infinitely
worth-while. Now let us to the work
with new zeal andVearnestness, knowing that our work shall not be in vain
in the Lord. To those who so finely
contributed to the success of our
Rally Day program, we say a hearty
Thank You.
This week the Ohio Synod meets in

The Week-Day School of Religion
is attracting much attention at this
writing and a canvass is to be made
on October 14 and 15 by about fifty
ladies belonging to this community.
The School of Religion has been
carried on here for the past several
years, and the actual instruction is
given by Mrs. Rae. Attendance last
year was 100%. The actual expense
necessary for the conduction of this
work is approximately $1,000. This is
the amount that the board and canvassers hope to secure.
The solicitors will accept either
your cash subscription or your pledge
as you desire. The pledges will be
payable to W. S. Warburton, treasurer, on or before November 10.
It would be a big help if the patrons
of the school would determine the
amount they feel able to give before
the solicitors call.

The day John McCoy, who resides
one mile south 'of town, was born
another lusty infant made his appearance on this mundane sphere and his
parents named Vhim Joseph. Ever
since that hour John McCoy and Joseph Wise have celebrated, and according to reliable: chroniclers of facts
"the eats" have played a stellar role
in the celebrations.
On Sunday Herman Voneman, wife
and two sons; Joseph Blubaugh and
daughter; Joseph .'Wise and wife of
Greensburg, and John Shook, wife
and daughter Lillian Jane made their
annual pilgrimage to the pleasant
home of John McCoy where they
were received with enthusiasm. Mrs.
McCoy possesses the happy knack of
making people feel "at home" in her
house find when dinner was announced
the wives of the guests quietly intimated that they expected their husbands to behave like men who had
eaten a hearty breakfast and not like
men dying for Want of food.
But the delicious chicken, the
"fixin's," and the other articles of
food, cooked in the way for which
Mrs. McCoy is famous, meant
more to the men than warnings,
and shall we say it?—even the
ladies "joined their husbands," which
in plain language means that they
didn't neglect anything on the table.
"It was a glorious meal," said one
of the guests to a 'Writer for The Sun,
"and I take my h& off to Mrs. McCoy. She's a bluelribbon winner as
a.cook." ' A:.
After "piiriishifif^lhe meal to a
frazzle," the whole party adjourned
to the front room and were entertained with stories in Ohio-Irish by
John McCoy. The latter's daughter
asked her father to start the victrola,
and told him that "the piece was written by one of his friends." It was
about a man named Von-e-man—get
that?—who, dressed in golf togs,
started for thc links. On his way he
scared a cow; the bovine ran into a
grocery store and knocked down a
man while he was whittling. Bossy
got her feet in a tub of apple butter,
made for the street, scared a team of
horses and knocked a woman down.
She lost her glass eye and later the
optic was found on the links where
Mr. Von-e-man had been using it,
thinking it was a golf ball.
And this ends the story.

Chief Joseph Smith made short addresses. Everyone enjoyed the evening. Miss Leota Le Beau played several selections on the piano which
were appreciated. Lee Scott wanted

friends postponed the torture until the
calliope furnishes the music while he
warbles.
The fire chief reports that the inspection of homes and places of business is progressing nicely, and he
wants, through The Sun, to thank the
people for their courtesy to his men.
A demonstration this Wednesday at

biography, some poems and drama, a
large number of books of special interest to young people and a fine assortment of fiction.
With the assistance of Mrs. D. L.

How To Secure Books.
The method of securing • books is
practically the same as through a
public library, each person taking a
book from the building will have a
Guarantee Card signed by some one
outside the immediate family. The
hours for securing books for children
will be from three o'clock to five
o'clock on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Older people may secure books at any
time.
Return Them Any Time
Books may be returned any time.
Fiction will be loaned for a period of
one week, but may be renewed for a
like period. Non-fiction books will be
loaned for a period of two weeks, but
may be renewed for another two
weeks. The matter of fines for overtime will be enforced, two cents per
day. This is done only to insure
prompt return of books, as previously
too many have been lost entirely.

New York's latest importations
front Paris were seen in the Second
Annual Style Show given under the
auspices of The Woman's Club by the
Stern & Mann company of Canton.
About 700 persons were in the Community Building to see this display of
the latest ci-eations in milady's apparel, fresh from Paris and New
York's style center.
Morning, afternoon and evening
costumes, dresses, gowns and frocks
with hats and wraps for all occasions
and boudoir finery were displayed on
Jiving models. The models chosen
were of different types in order to
show the effective gowning for the
different type's of women.
"Classmates," Richard Barthel-
mess' new First National production,
which comes to the Community building on F/iday night, is probably the
most varied story this young star has;
ever been seen in on the screen.
"Classmates" has the appeal of
"Tol'able David," the force of "Fury"
and the fine histrionic strength of
"The Enchanted Cottage," other Bur-
thelmess pictures, along with a distinctly different interest.
Briefly, "Classmates" is the story
of a poor boy of the North Carolina
mountains who wins an appointment
to West Point, loses his commission
in a quarrel with another chap and
finally redeems himself in an expedition into the South American jungle.
The early scenes of "Classmates"
have all the boyish charm of "Tol'able
David." The scenes at West Point,
filmed with the special permission
and co-operation of the United States
government, present the United States
Military Academy, the greatest melting pot of manhood in the world, for
the first time on the screen as the
background  of a dramatic story.
Here Barthelmess offers a superb
characterization of the boy, Di-ncan
Irving, growing into manhood. In
the thrilling jungle scenes "Classmates" reaches unusual heights of interest and power.
Two corking- good comedies will be
shown before the stellar attraction is
thrown on the screen.

Although not published  until  1857,
Colorful,  rich, and  artistic, strong! four  years   after   "Villette,"     "The
words that they are, can not convey! Professor" is  really  a first and  in-
the real idea of beauty and quality
that was displayed in this wonderful
showing. The Stern & Mann Company believes nothing is too good
for the people of The Sun's territory,
and they decorated the stage and furnished a delightful program of music,
a fitting accompaniment for the
quality apparel shown for madam and
mademoiselle.

The Autumn  Fire Is Lighted
There is a touch of crimson back
in the balsam and white pine, in with
the regimented white shafts of the
birch and where the poplar leaves are
falling. There is a flare of it against
the deep green of the hemlocks, running in a line accross the top of a
hillock, reflected in the still surface
of the sedgy lakes. The maples are
coloring. The autumn fire is lighted.
Corn is in the shock. Pumpkins are
yellow in the field. Applaes are on the
ground. There are wild blackberries.
Blackbirds are flocking. Partridge are
under the pines. Blue black clouds are
gathering in the north. Frost is not
far behind.—Chicago Tribune.

Always On High

complete draft of that novel. Its
scenes are in the same pensiotmat in
Brussels, and there a pair of unworldly
people, the innocent heroine and the
professor, are attracted by mutual
friendship and progress from sympathy to love. It was originally entitled "The Master," and was the
first story submitted by Cluu-olrrte
Bronte to the publishers, prior to its
recasting as "Villette." She said of!
it herself: "All that relates to Brussels, the Belgian school, etc., is as
good as I can write; it contains more
pith, more substance, more reality in
my judgement, than much of Jane
Eyre.'"
The heroine of "The Professor" is
not beautiful, a new departure in fiction. The professor himself, and not
the prototype of Lucy Snowe, is its
narrator, and there is distinct skill in
his own description of his love affair.
In fact, in this fragment of a story
Charlotte Bronte never wrote anything more direct, more concise or
plausible. It deserves to be considered by itself and not merely as g.
