Patrick's New Organ.
The young ladies' sodality of the Sa-
cred Heart parish has just been or
ganized and it is predicted that it's
mission in the field of Christian en-
deavor will be fruitful of much good.
| The parish has not been esta blished
two years and it will be some time be
fore everything is running along as
smoothly as things go in older and well
established parishes, Father Callahan
has planned the organization of the So
dality with a view to having young la
dies of the parish assist in the great
work of the church. such as inducing
every man. woman and child in the
! parish to give certain portion of their
time TO the work of Christianity and
| to go to church and help fill it every
| day there is service. a-
The young ladies. of the sodality will
partake of communion on Sunday
morning next at $50 o'clock, and in the
! evening there will be a meeting at
which all are requested to be present.
| More ladies are expected to add their
names to the membership and before
! New Years day it is hoped to have on
| the list 200 names of the best and most
! persistent Christian workers in the
city. 1t is proposed to make the second
year of the twentieth century memoir
able in the parish. The new church
will be completed to its proposed mag
niticent PROPORTIONS, a new organ in
stalled and membership of vast mag
nitude secured.
Father Callahan took hold OF the par
ish work with a vim characteristic only
of men of persistent devotion such as
young and energetic ministers possess.
He is very popular with his parish
iCners as we'll as with every other class
in this city, and it is his intention to
do the valiant service expected of aim
when he returned from Omaha, after
being headed for the Philippines. and
took hold of the work in this city. He
has been unfortunate during a few
months past on account of the nandi-
cap of ill-health. but he is better now
and has forgotten that he was ever
sick al all.
Special solemn services were con-
Quoted Sunday afternoon at the Sa
cred Heart church at o'clock. when
the statue of the Blessed Virgin was
blessed with appropriate ceremonies.
A large number of children met al the
old church and marched to the new
church, the statue of the Blessed Vir-
gin being carried at the head. The
solemn procession marched into the
church and the reception was in the
st. Leos boys sodality, with the Chill
dren of Mary as attendants. The
ceremonies closed with a benedictlon
and blessed sacrament. In the even
ing the young ladies of the parish or
ganized sodality of the Blessed Vir-
gin and 123 candidates signed the char
ter roll.
E. J. King, who is experimenting the
work of putting up the big church or
gan in st. Patrick s, is stopping at the
Finlen He will be in the city for
couple of weeks, after which he will
go to a southern city TO look after
the setting up of another organ his
company has recently sold. To re-
porter for the Standard Mr.. King said
that the heavy double manual pipe or
gan is rapidly supplanting the old
style organ of the cabinet make
throughout the entire country. Not
only in the United States. but in Eu-
rope, the change is being made. Mr..
Kings house has many contracts on
hand at present to supply organs of
the larger make to western cities. and
almost invariably these are taking the |
places of the old style church organ.
In the East whenever a church board |
plans to build a church, one of the |
first things considered in connection
with the money part of the question !
is the laying aside of a certain sum
for the expense of putting in a pipe |
organ.
This is one of the largest organs
in the Northwest" said Mr. King, re-
fering to the instrument he is plac-
ing in St. Patricks church. 1t is |
evidently larger than the church par
ishioners had planned for when they |
set about to enlarge the organ loft, for |
now that the loft has been enlarged |
still more extension work will have to |
be done. The gallery will have to be
considerably before any num-
Der of choristers can get into it. AS it |
is now, the organ frame takes up ev-
cry bit of room on the loft floor ex-
ce3t a small space on either side. a
great amount of work has been done
in the way of extending the gallery,
but still more must be done. The or
gan will, be ready for use in about two
weeks. The motor power Will be water
which is being done to the exclusion
of electricity all over the country"
