“IIA KEMPIS”
HONORS WALSH
Bay State Governor Guest at
Banquet Here of Woman's
Organization.
PRAISES ORGANIZATION
AS ASSET OF THE STATE
I '
Gov. Fielder Also Lauds Its
Aims—Brilliant Address by
Pres. Mulry, of Fordham.
———- - 'M
Prominent men and women of Es
sex county and other parts of the
State, including Governor and Mrs.
James F. Fielder, attended the ban
quet of "The a Kempls,” a local so
ciety for Catholic women, in honor of
Governor David I. Walsh, of Massa
chusetts, at the Washington restaur
ant last night. Governors Walsh
and Fielder were among the speak
ers of the occasion.
"The a Kempis” takes Its name
from the famous scholar and monk
who was born at Cologne in the lat
ter part of the fifteenth century, and
whose religious writings remain a
standard of ecclesiastical literature.
In responding to the toast “Women
and Politics," Governor Walsh praised
the work of “The a Kempis" and de
clared that in his own State he had
never met a more intelligent or more
representative body of women. H*
iiad addressed the organisation at a
meeting yesterday afternoon in Mont
clair and in his speech last night he
repeated some things he told them of
women’s Influence in the affairs of
State and Nation.
Glowing tribute to the women was
paid by the other speakers^ Rev. Jo
seph A. Mulry, S. J., president of
Fordham University; William B,
Gourley, of Paterson, former prose
cutor for Passaic county, and by
Governor Fielder. Former Judge
Thomas A. Davis acted as toast
master and also praised women gen
erally, and the members of "The a
Kempis" particularly.
History of the Society. |
Mrs. Nathaniel Hanau, of Qlen
Ridge, president of The a Kempia, In
troduced the toastmaster and
plained the aims and purposes
"The a Kempts.” ™
“From a gathering of about
Catholic women," she said, “wehavftj
developed an organization of 225 mm
bers in a year and a half.
"The name a Kempis was taken
honor of Thomas a Kempis,
scholarly man of rare piety
humility who wrote that gem
literature, ’The Imitation of Chr
It is his life and his works that fo
the basis of our high ideals.
“To be imlt&tois of Christ we mift-n
be practical Christians. We must,
apply our ideals to the intellectual
and social world, as well as to the .
things religious.
“With this idea in mind, we pre
sent to our members, by means of
lectures, the very highest thoughts on
religion, art, science, questions of the
day, literature, history, music and
“The lectures are followed by a
social hour, where hospitality, friend
ship and a love for our neighbor i* .
developed and wherein is created a ;
spirit of democracy often found want
ing In women.
"In conclusion I would say that no <
one can be a member of the a Kempia !
without feeling elevated in mind,
strengthened in spirit and a greater
desire to exercise a better influence
outside of their own narrow Interests."
Prefacing his introduction of the
speakers Mr. Davis said: "The a
Kempis is to be congratulated os the :
distinguished gathering here tonight.
We have with us as speakers two
governors, a distinguished priest and
one of the great men of our State.
"In keeping up to the times in
music, art. drama and religion the a
Kempia makes the home better, and
to make the home better ia to make
the nation better, for the nation rests
on the home.
"We appreciate more than we can
toll the presence of our governor and
his wife. I believe no governor en
tered the governor’s chair better
fitted for his duties by ms training
than Governor Fielder.”
Reward af Powtifli.
Governor Fielder said the greatest ;
honor and reward of his office was
the opportunities it presented of
speaking to organisations of such ss
the a Kempis. The topic at hi*
speech was "The State of New Jer
S£He pictured the growth of the Stats
from 500,000 population fifty years ago
to 3.000.000 today. He reviewed iff
manv industries and activities and
their part In the upbuilding of the
nation. The governor also referred
to the hospitable treatment he re
ceived from the people of Governor jj
Walsh’s State when attending the
conference of governors there.
Father Mulry's topic was "Church
and State." He obeyed the rulers of
the nation, he said, not because he
feared them, or because they were
stronger than he. but because they
got their authority from God, through
the individual members of the Stat*.
“When the theory that people must
be made to obey because they,. jMgj§j
the government, or the theory that
‘might is right' holds forth, we nave
a government not founded on aMfkseWjS
ity from God and a government that
will fail.
1 *lee «f 0*4.
“That is why,” said the speaker,
“we are the happiest and most con
tented people on earth. I look at our
constitution, not as the work of men,
who say ‘might is right,' you must
obey because we are stronger than
you. not of men of whom I am la
fear, but as the voice of God, Just as .
I read my Bible as the word of God.
“When the call comes from the
White House in the nation’s need ‘To
arms' twenty million men will re- y
spond gladly, enthusiastically, to up- ‘
hold their government founded on the ;
only true theory that its authority I
comes from God.
Father Mulry referred to the in
sinuation that a Catholic cannot be
a true lover of his country and bear
allegiance to Rome. ”1 take my re
