neiusiencREDITORIAL. 23rd. September, I9T3.

25th SUNDAY OF THE YEAR, I5th SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST.Catholic Social Service ConferenceThe Catholic Social Service Conference tries each year to relieve the hardship of the lives of people in Dublin who are hungry, who are poorly clad, who suffer from neglect and isolation. It also tries to provide a holiday for young people who otherwise could not afford one, This work has been going on for the past 32 years. It must continue.

A dramatic expansion of Dublin is now taking place,Living in developing areas will raise new problems and magnify present ones,The Church must help- Young married couples, living away from their parents, must be helped overcome their isolation,mothers,especially if not very strong,will need help to cope with young families. Old people will need comfort and company. The rows of houses now being built on the fringe of the city must be helped develop in true Christian communities,

Christians must be alert to the real meaning of the sentence "The poor we have always with us",It is for this reason that the wprk pf the Catholic Social Service must continue.

This Sunday, there is a special collection to help finance the Catholic Social Service. Last year you were generous in your response to this appeal. In the name of those who benefited by your generosity, we thank you. Your generosity this year will enable the conference to extend its benefits.

Dear Editor,Could you kindly find space to publish this letter for

m e .I am appealing to the mothers who bring their prams and

go-cars inside the small gate of the school to stop doing so. The space here is so narrow that children trying to get buses are delayed and miss their bus. The mothers waiting for their children are in no hurry. I myself have had my legs scratched by these prams. So could the mothers wait near the main gate and let us get our buses home on time?

Thanking you, Yours sincerely,Sandra Taylor, age 9 it years.

TIDY TOWNS 1975The results of the Tidy Towns Competition for 1973 were pub- blished last week. Kiltegan, the lovely Co. Wicklow village with a population of a mere 70 souls, was the overall winner with an impressive tally of 140 points, which was 10 short of the maximum,Lucan were entered in the 3*000-5,000 population section and this year again the results for us were less than satisfactory. We received 91 points (again out of 150) - this was well be­hind the winners in this section, Midleton, Co. Cork, who re­ceived 119 points. Bandon and Tramore scored the same as our­selves while Leixlip, our next door neighbours, scored 105 points in the same section.What went wrong? The principal fault that can be found is a lack of co-ordination of effort and this is what has been happening ever since Lucan first entered the Competition.There was no person or body taking the positive steps necessary to do well.Of course this would not have happened if the Competition was looked on as a top priority - that it is not and this is the right way to view it. There are more important things to be done and the willing hands are very few.Kiltegan won because they had made maximum use of the natural amenities. We can do a lot for ourselves if we organise.We should not be too disheartened by the result. After all, we were not the worst by a long chalk and Leixlip with its Tidy Towns Committee and years of experience were only 14 points ahead of us. Next year we can push our total up over 120 points if we take the appropriate steps. The tidy town of Lucan can then be enjoyed by our visitors, and, more important, by ourselves.

TWENTY-FIFTH SUNDAY OF THE YEAR.

1 am the salvation of my people, says the Lord, whatever their affliction when they call upon me, I shall hear them and he their Lord for ever.COLLECT: 0 God, you have summed up your holy law in your command that we should love you and our neighbour. Grant us the grace to keep your commandments and so become worthy to enter eternal life.A READING FROM THE BOOK OF WISDOM :Let us condemn him to a shameful death.

The godless say to themselves, 'Let us lie in wait for the virtuous man, since he annoys us and opposes our way of life, reproaches us for our breaches of the law and accuses us of playing false to our upbringing. Let us see if what he says is true, let us observe whatkind of end he himself will have. If the virtuous man is God's son, Godwill take his part and rescue him from the clutches of his enemies. Let us test him with cruelty and with torture, and thus explore this gentle­ness of his and put his endurance to the proof. Let us condemn him to ashameful death since he will be looked after - we have his word for it ' ,J THIS IS THE WORD OF THE LORD. THANKS BE TO GOD.RESPONSORIAL PSALM : i1. 0 God, save me by your name; b

by your power, uphold my cause.0 God, hear my prayer;

listen to the words of my mouth.RESPONSE: THE LORD UPHOLDS MY LIFE.2. For proud men have risen against me,

ruthless men seek my life.They have no regard for God.

RESPONSE: THE LORD UPHOLDS MY LIFE.3. But I have God for my help.

The Lord upholds my life.1 will sacrifice to you with willing heart and praise your name for it is good.

.E3P0N SE: THE LORD UPHOLDS MY LIFE.

9.A READING FROM THE LETTER OF ST. JAMES : Peacemakers, when they workfor peace, sow the seeds which will bear fruit in holiness,

c Wherever you find jealousy and ambition, you find disharmony, andwicked things of eve ry kind being done; whereas the wisdom that comes down from above is essentially something pure; it also makes for peace, and is kindly and considerate; it is full of compassion and shows itself by doing good; nor is there any trace of partiality or hypocrisy in it. Peacemakers, when they work for peace, sow the seeds which will bear fruit in holiness.

Where do these wars and battles between yourselves first start? Isn't it precisely in the desires fighting inside your own selves?You want something and you haven’t got it; so you are prepared to kill. You have an ambition that you cannot satisfy; so you fight to get your way by force. Why you don't have what, you want is because you don’t pray for it; when you do pray and don’t get it, it is because you have not prayed properly, you have prayed for something to indulge your own desires.THIS IS THE WORD OF THE LORD. THMKS BE TO GOD.ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA! Your word is truth, 0 Lord, consecrate us in

the truth. ALLELUIA!A READING FROM THE HOLY GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MARK: The Son of Man will

t>e delivered. If anyone wants to be first,he must make himself servant of all- After leaving the mountain Jesus and his disciples made their way through Galilee; and he did not want anyone to know, because he was instructing his disciples; he was telling them, 'The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men; they will put him to death; and three days after he has been put to death he will rise again.' But they did not understand what he said and were afraid to ask him.

They came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, 'What were you arguing about on the road?' They said nothing because they had been arguing which of them was the greatest. So he sat down, called the Twelve to him and said , 'If anyone wants to be xirst, he must make himself last of all and servant of all.' He then took a little child, set him in front of them, put his arms round him, and said to them, 'Anyone who welcomes one of these little children in my name, welcomes me; and anyone who welcomes me, welcomes not me but the one who sent me.'THIS IS THE GOSPEL OF THE LORD. PRAISE TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST?+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

No doubt the demesne was at least as large then though we cannot prove Joyce’s claim that "before there was a man in Ireland there was a Lord at Lucan". Agmondisham Vesey, the builder of Lucan House, consulted Sir William Chambers, architect, in 1773 on the design of the house and the layout of the grounds. In a letter to Sir William that year, Vesey said "I have got the Landskip of Lucan and its environs and wish to shew you the Situation and aspects of a place which I am per­suaded will receive great Embellishments from your hands." Several walks were made in the grounds along by the river and through the woods to the Sarsfield Monument and the rusticated cold bath beside the famous sulphur spring. One such walk passed the lovely waterfall,

lb .THE IRISH RED CROSS SOCIETY - Lucan Branch.Due to recent developments and experiences encountered by us in the Red Cross, many propositions have come to our notice* One particular fact seems quite certain to us - the importance of, and the necessity for, a Community Centre in our locality. A neigh­bouring town has, apparently discovered this same fact because in this monthfs edition of Celbridge Charter, local organiz­ations there seem to be geared towards a Community Hall Fund. Since we had an un­expected profit from our discos in August, and because we have yet to hold our door- to-door collection, we feel that this money could best serve the people of Lucan by making a £100 donation to the formation of a Lucan Community Centre Fund, We propose placing this money in the Bank under the condition that all other organizations and local functions add whatever profit they can afford until this Centre has been built M and paid off, Should this proposition meet with little or no response from the people of Lucan, we shall be obliged to remove this capital and place it at the disposal of some more permanent project giving us enough time to have our books checked by headquarters. The members of our unit have unanimously agreed to forego uniforms on this understanding.

HEAR THIS! Gerry Cosgrave, a well known personality in the entertainment field (currently appearing in the Summer Show at the Clontarf Castle) has opened a Travel Agency in Lucan, A service is being offered whereby you can now make all your travel arrangements - business trips and holidays to England and the Continent, at no extra coat, thereby saving you the time and the money involved in going into the city.

15.pictured P.13. Vesey opened the grounds to the public hut had cause to regret it as the following extract shows."The Rt• Hon. Agmondisham Vesey ... generously permitted the Company to range through his Grounds at Pleasure; but, it is to be lamented, that he soon found cause to repent, and indeed to withdraw the Indulgence he had granted, from the licentious Behaviour of some disorderly Persons, who were no Water-Drinkers - by circumscribing the Well with a Wall, to prevent such Depredations in future."In 1932, the Colthurst-Veseys sold the House to Hugh O'Conor, the O'Conor Don. As President of the Irish Branch of the Knights of Malta that year, he gave a garden party at the time of the Eucharistic Congress in the Demesne which was attended by over a thousand people. It was in the Thirties that the walled garden, which was approached by a tunnel under the Galway Road, was sold and is now known as 'The Orchard'. The present owners bought it from 0 'Conor's son-in-law in 1944. The Demesne was closed in the early Fifties but I am not sure of the exact date. If any reader can provide the date, it will be published in a future article.
