st. Patrick's day was appropriately
observed at the Catholic church In this
place by the celebration Of high mass
and an eloquent eulogy Oh the life and
missionary labors of Ireland's apostle
by Rev. Father Becker. The interior
Of the church was tastefuily decorated
with green, and large portrait Of st.
Patrick Was placed over the altar. II
Is evident from the historical facts pre-
sented by Father Becker that Patricius
Tor Patrick, who WAS a native of Gaul
