hy was q most happy day for
hundred boys and girls OF the
Atlons Of ST. Alphonsus Church
Church OF Immaculate Con-
10 whom were administered
rament Of confirmation by Ri
Bishop Kahn. Additional interest
lent to the services at both
urches from the fact that it was
probably the last time for the RI. Rev.
Bishop to oficlate in like capacity.
AZ the Church OF the Immaculate
Conception class Of eighty boys and
girls received their first com muniOn
from the hands Of the RI. Rev. Bishop,
NJ early mass. The sacrament was also
received by several hundred adult mem
bers OF the congregation. The church
was crowded, and many stood In the
aisles. The girls were all attired 10
white dresses and long white wells, and
the BOYS in black suits and white ties
and gloves. The Bishop briefly ad
dressed the class, explaining the Sacra-
ment they were about TO receive, and
giving excellent advice to the boys and
girls.
At ten o'clock mass the class was con-
irmed and the congregation again
tested the seating capacity OF the
church. Following are the members
OF the class, Including several adults:
Francis Uttermille, Jacob Braun,
Vincent Arkle, John j. Mullroy, Louis

Bishop Kain's sermon to the class
was eloquent and instructive. He ex-
planned 10 them that the sacrament
they were about to receive was intend
ed to make them soldiers ia the army CT
Christ. After taking dinner with Rev.
Father Mullen, the Bishop was escorted
TO ST. Alphonsus Church, where he con-
frmed a large class at Vespers.
At 1870 o'clock the Knights Of ST..
George, Young Mems Society, and
HSt. AlphOnsus Society, headed by
a band, marched down to ST. Mary's
kChurch. Several hundred men were in
Zine, and they presented a fine appear
Apce. +. Biedenbach and B. Bach act
Id as marshals. Bishop Kahn entered a
|arriage with one Of the Capuchln
bther at st. Alphonsus, and was es-
corted TO the church.
The German Catholic church is one Of
the largest in the city, but IL was too
small for the congregation which as
sembled for Vespers. The services were
OF unusual interest, and included a
solemn procession Of the Blessed Sacra-
ment by the Bishop, priests, acolytes
and different Sodalities.
