Butte, Mont, Sept. 1O.-The first Fri
day devotions in honor of the Sacred
Heart in Butte once attended can never
be forgotten. All day Thursday until
midnight, five priests are kept busy
hearing confessions. and again on Fri
day morning from 4.30 until 9 O'Clock.
Last Friday over 2,1O0 received Holy
Communion. All classes of people
make special effort to take part in this
grand devotion. The business man
rises earlier to pay homage to the Di-
vine Heart, and the hard working
miner, returning from night shift.
stops on the way to lay his weary bur
den at the feet of Jesus. Children of
all ages approach the affairs in count
less numbers and the blessings in
many homes received through devotion
to the Sacred Heart can never be es-
timated The number of members are
rapidly increasing and several thou
sand more will soon be added to the
already f1ourishing League of the Sa-
cred Heart in Butte.
