A DEVOTED CHAPLAIN.
Gather Herbert and How He served
the Cause.

lanes pinkins contributes the follow
ing to the New Orleans Picayune:
Knowing how deeply interested the Pic
ayune has been in bringing to light the
genius and virtues of the Confederate
soldiers and believing that the survivors
of that cause will be glad to learn some
thing about the resting place OF an old
comrade whose devotion to them was sec
ond only TO his religious duties, have
prepared a brief sketch and also some pic
lures, which may be of interest.
On my recent trip to Macon, Ga,
visited the tomb Q, Father Darius HUI
bert, S. j., so long the beloved pastor OF
the JesuitS' church, New Orleans. La
and chaplain to the Confederate soldiers
during the whole period OF the civil war
His last resting place is singularly appro-
pirate for one who was so devoted to the
Southland and to its brave and noble
sons who shed their blood on many a
battlefield for the Lost Cause.
Father Hubert is buried within the very
trenches dug by the Confederate soldiers
round Macon, Ga. to check the onward
march of General Sherman. a plain cross
with the simple inscription, Here Rests
Father Darius Hubert. S. j., Born July
l9th 1923; Died June 14th, 1888. marks the
place of his grave. At the foot of the
hill stands an old chemical factory used
by the Confederacy for the manufacture
of medicines, powder and other war mate
rial.
The Jesuit Fathers, conscious OF the
noble deeds of their dead brother, are
erecting a superb mortuary chapel of
pure white marble, within whose shadow

Fa,ner Hubert lives only in memory


Fa1ner Hubert lives only in memory,
but if there be any sure lessons taught
by noble example, then his devotion to
the cause and the people he served, Will
stimulate succeeding generations.
Father Hubert was ordained priest
on October II, 1850, by Right Rev. Bishop
Blanc, and when the tocsn of war sound
ed he gave his services to the Southern
cause. He accompanied the LOUISIANA
troops TO the field, and remained with
them during the entire period of the
war. His ,ninistrations to the sick and
wounded for four years Of bloody strife,
and the tender solicitude he felt for each
one under his care, will be q cherished
recollection Of that dear man. as long as
a Confederate soldier survives. HIS work
and devotion were not confined to ms
own command; he was often found in the
midst of other troops. encouraging them
by his heroic example, and contributing
whatever assistance he could give.
The people of New Orleans have chosen
to express their obligation and love for
him in various ways. They knew him as
a warm hearted and tender man, and they
know there was no sacrifice too great for
him to make. when his people were in dis
tresS.
During the dreadful yellow fever cpl
demic, which hung like pail over every
community in MISSISSIPPI, in 1915, rather
Hubert repaired to Gazoo City, where he
nursed the sick and buried the dead. he
never thought of danger when people
were suffering, and whether in the midst
OF epidemics, or whether exposed TO a
shower of shot and shell on the battle
field, he was found administering to those
who needed help. and cheering those who
went forth TO duty.
1t cannot be denied that he was patriot
from every point Of view. His heart was
in his work. At the very outset he gave
his energy and talents to the cause Of the
South, and during those four long years,
no trials or hardships deferred him.
Associated with Father Hubert in the
service. was a young preacher, the chap

MISS BLoDGETT TO
 VISIT BIRMINGHAM.

The announcement that the Primary union had secured the services of Miss Blodgett for November, was received with great interest. Hard, enthusiastic study is being applied to history, literature art and music everywhere by our women AL lied to this self-culture, in secular knowl- edge, what a profound necessity is the study of soul culture from the book which is pre-eminently the history of history, and book of books. In Bible teaching Miss Blodgett is an expert, and possesses the magnetic power to infuse enthusiastic interest in the Scriptures. Her familiarity with the Bible and her spiritual enthusiasm render her a fine teacher to those who seek to know more about God and His edicts for human life. This is dull subject and dull book to some people, Yet as the physical body has to seek the surgeons knife to cut away disease and restore health, sa the soul has to seek Gods Word to cut away it's diseases of sin, and seek His word as a surveyors chain with which to measure our homes peace and love-
 Wherever she goes Miss Blodgett has won earnest students in Bible study and now the Primary union has secured her services for the month of November to afford the women of Birmingham both the pleasure and the profit of availjng themselves of the privilege of her splen did Bible lessons
