in the mines, and in other ways equally
sudden. The church, being the same at all
times and in all climes, could not see the
orphans lose their lives, and often their
souls. on account of the lack Of .
comfortable home. Therefore had been
protected this orphan asylum, under
the auspices Of the Sisters Of
Charity. The bishop thanked the Jesuit
fathers. who had given the ground for the
building; the Sisters OF Charity, who had
phans of Montana; and the PEOPLE gener-
ally for the generous support already given
the %institution. He ended by asking the
blessing of God on the new institution.
The blev'ng Of heaven would certainly
come down on an institution which meant
nOtninE Ous tnu IoIslests tno MosS solI-
sacs ifcing and the most praiseworthy
charity. With his own hands the bishop
put tho mortar to the base Of the corner
stone, which was then lowered INTO posi-
ton. After that the procession moved
back to the dressing room singing the
''Magni6cat."
The Latin document placed in the corner
stone read as follows:
