Speaking at the ceremony of the investiture of the palFuin at St. Mary’s Cathedral yesterday morning, A.rchbisliip Kelly r.aicl there were those outside the fold more numerous than they were who would propose mixed marriage, but what about the union of hearts if they knelt before different '’tars. “What about the union ol the soul,” he asked, “if what we believe they condemn as idolatry I What abo.it raising our thoughts and minds above animality What about lifting ourselves v.p ? God pity the Catholic girl who will deprive herself of a Catholic, husband. You have souls and an eternal life before you. But if a Catholic young man for any reason v ill deprive his children of a Catholic mother —ah—listen now. Our Lord himself spoke an - l said : ‘‘Father forgive them for they know not wb.at they do.” Let r.s stop mixed marriages. Let Catholics stand their ground and refuse to enter into wedlock in such c'rcunicumstanccs. The family.” he continued, ‘‘was the . founta’n head of society. If they could not agree before wedlock on the religion they were to follow it would be a bond of ruin and damnation to the children.”
