In May, 1888, the cornerstone of the
new edifice, part of which still remains,
was laid, Rev. Fathers Kelieher and
De Rychere assisting Father Dols as
the ceremonies. The building was of
brlck, on a stone foundation, and
trimmed with cut granite facings. .Dedi-
cation ceremonies took place Sept. II,
1884. The enlarged field now taxed
the pastor to such an extent that as
slSIants were deemed necessary. but
experience proved their absence to be
preferable to their presence.
AT this date Father Dolls experienced
considerable unjust criticism and dis
satisfaction from his people. The clouds
hung darkly for a time, but the sun
shlne OF good will finally dispelled the
gloom.
In 1885 Father Dols paid a visit to
Holland, in order to recuperate and
gain energy, both physical and mental,
for future labors
Rev. L. s. Tremblay of Montreal,
Canada. and at that time pastor of
FrenchtOwn. was called to Butte, where
ne remained for about a year, but hard
work and the noXious mineral fumes
so far undermined his health that a re-
moVal became necessary in the latter
part of December, 1886, and the Rev. II.
j. Van de Ven was sent to Butte as
pastor to fill the vacancy.
About the middle OF September 1885,
Father Van der Brock, at present pas
tor of St. Rose of Limas, Dillon. was
attached to St. Parick's, remaining at
Butte in that capacity for three wears.
In September, 1891, ne was transferred
to Miles City, and Rev. Cyril Pauwelyn

FATHER SYLVESTER MALONE.

On Friday, the 29th inst, there. de-
parted this life one of the best known
priests of the United States-Father
Malone, pastor of st. Peter and PauTs
church Brooklyn, n. Y. Not only was
Father Malone one of the best known
priests in America, but few have been
more respected than he by all classes
of people, Catholic and non-CathoIfc as
we'll. His priestIy career extended over
a period of sixty years. during which
time he labored INCREASINGLY for the
welfare Of the church and the glory of
God. At the same time he was ever
the best type of citizen, who had al
ways the one thought that he could
best serve his country by loyalty to his
church. The people of the state of New
York honored Father Malone by elect
ing him to the honorable and dfgnifed
position of regent of the State Univer-
sity, which position he filed with hon
or and credit.
In the death of Father Malone the
church at large suffers loss, for before
all the people he stood as the true, just
and loyal citizen.
May his soul rest in everlasting

KEEP SUNDAY HOLY.

1t is the duty of a Catholic to so to
mass on Sundays and holy days of OBJ
legation, unless excused by a good rea-
son. This every Catholic knows. or
ought to know Generally. too, Catho-
| lies understand that they do not fulfill
the obligation of keeping Sunday holy
by merely rushing in a hurry to mass
in the morning and, as if getting rid
of disagreeable task, spending the
rest of the day snothered up in SEN
sational newspapers, or specializing on
purely material ends. It is seriously
to be deplored that many Catholics are
satisfied with this way of spending
Sunday. 1t is not meant that the whole
day is to be passed on ones knees, or
in the recitation Of long prayers; but
it is meant that of this day a, consid-
erably greater portion than on secular
days should be occupied by practices
of piaty Hearing mass devoutly. say
ing the beads, reading the lives Of the
saints. not the lives of Dick TurDins
and Jay Goulds; inspiring by Christian
stories the love of God in children, a
Catholic family should live it's Sunday
in an atmosphere of Christian devo-
ton. How delightful it is to see good
parents surrounded by their children,
the father spending a portion of the
day instilling sound Catholic principles
on the minds of his bright, inquiring
children: the mother, by her sympa-
thatic presence, lending a sweet in
fuence to her husbands words; and
the children. in the plastic days of
childhood, drinking into their souls the
saving draughts of wisdom Thus the
indoor life of a good Catholic family
passes; and when the Sundays out or
outings come, the family so together
and enjoy in unison of feeling the
beauties of nature. In union is
strength, and families thus united are
permanently happy. On the other
hand, how suggestive it fs-not of
happiness-to see families split up,
each member following his own sweet
will on the day of. rest Such families
give bad examples, and are Of no value
to Christendom. 1t is in order to OBJ
serve a fact painfully noticeable that
very many heads of families seldom if
ever assist at the last, which is Sun
DAVIS parish mass. Has not the head
of a family soul to save? Must he
not hear the word of God preached?
Does he think that he can neglect the
interests of his soul with impunity? A
sensible Catholic will never trife with
his most solemn interests. Time must
be we'll spent to be a proper prepara-
ton for eternity. To give these reAec-
tions a practical turn it is suggested,
and the suggestion is eminently sea-
sonable Just now, that Catholic par
ents should beware of falling into the
habit of staying away, as if system

asceticism. and their practices of de-

dogmatic principles. they were easily

began by saying in this review of the
subject, the devotional altogether over
lay the dogmatical side OF religion. In
such cases there is an inherent weak
ness in a religious system that por-
tends dissolution. In the true church,
however, we have both dogma and de-
votion as appropriate and perfecting
