Father Donohue Takes Opportunity to Denounce Socialism, Which Catholic Church Will Fight. Fully two thousand persons, parishioners of St. Thomas Aquinas Church and St. John the Evangelist Church, thronged last evening's lawn fete of the Holy Name Society, of the latter parish, at its spacious grounds at Twenty-Arst street and Fifth avenue. There was a parade for over a mile through the streets of the two parishes, and thou- sands witnessed it.

Roman candles and colored lights were burned along the line of march. The fair was planned as a means of paying off the debt of the newly-erected St. John's parochial school. Over 800 marched from St. Thomas Aquinas Church, Fourth avenue and Ninth street, at 8:30 p.m.

Father James Donohue, of St. Thomas, was in charge, assisted by Father Murray and Father Crawford. St. Vincent's Home Band of fifty pieces, the leadership of Frank E. Honts, headed the procession.

The Ancient Order of Hibernians, with County Chairman P. J. McCarthy in charge, was represented by several large divisions. Division 3, A. O.

of East New York, sent a large delegation; Division 6, A. 0. of St. Thomas of Aquinas, was led by John Mulqueen and William J. Dunn; Division 22, A.

O. St. John the Evangelist Church, was headed by John C. Kinsella. Thomas King and Patrick Kinsella were in charge of Division 12, representing St.

Michael's parish. The Holy Name Societies of both churches took prominent parts in the parade, which marched through the streets under the marshalship of Michael F. Russell, County Secretary of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. The parade, which was followed by a large crowd, terminated at the fair grounds, where Father Duhigg made an address of welcome. In a few appropriate remarks, he expressed his deep appreciation of the valuable assistance rendered by St.

Thomas Aquinas He praised the Ancient Order of Hibernians as being an organization which for religious and moral uplift. In response, Father Donohue spoke feelingly of the preceding speaker, and went on to make a few observations on the relation of Catholicism to Socialism. He praised the men of the Holy Name Society as people of prayer, mortification and self-denial. In their daily lives they are subordinating the material to the spiritual. They are the very opposite to men engaged in socialist movements and propaganda.

Socialism, claimed Father Donohue, is wholly incompatible with Christian civilization, and in the great struggle to come, between Socialism and Christianity, Catholicism will be the great resisting force. M. F. Russell, county secretary A. O.

and chairman of arrangements, spoke on behalf of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, lauding the efforts and hospitality of Fathers Duhigg and Donohue. The Junior Holy Name Society, of St. Thomas was much in evidence. Its officers are: as President, John Cahill; vice president, William Bavidant; secretary, John Adams; treasurer, William Ruddin. Although the first days of the fair were marred by adverse weather condi- tions, last evening's gathering netted a substantial sum.

As Father Duhigg said, the spirit of jollity and good fellowship everywhere in evidence was of far more value that whatever Anancial gains might accrue. The booths were In charge of the following committees: Holy Name Booth-Mrs. C. Harding and Misses M. Z.
