Story of Louisiana Purchase Terrific:
a Hundred Years Ago and TODAY

Story of Louisiana Purchase Territory
a Hundred Years Ago and Today.
In the misty long ago a nobleman of
France came up the Mississippi from
New Orleans. His eriand was to find a
place for trading post-a place on the
great river whence the furs which the
redman bartered to the white might be
floated down to civilization.
Many pleasant spot he saw, but al
ways shook his head and said quietly
but firmly, I'VE will proceed, my
friends"
On they went, past bluff and bar and
rivers mouth, until one morning they
came to a place where the land, in
stead of rising abruptly or going back
for mile in a low sandy beach, sloped
gradually upwards hundreds of feet.
Here they landed, the Frenchman
and his companions They walked to
the summit of the hill. To the east was
the mighty river, it's farther shore but
a faint outline and all around was
forest
AS the Frenchman looked he said:
my friends, our search is over. Here
shall be the spot-ald more, for we
now stand where, in coming years, shall
stand great city"
And he planted Il flag there and
called the place after him who was To
the French the greatest of men, ST.
Louis.
Years later, when a village grew
there, the residents expressed one great
want; it was for a church bell. When
in the evening the sounds of the An
gelus should have fioated out on the
silent air. only the harsh beating of
drum told that it was the hour for
prayer.
The people longed for a bell. and as
none could be cast nearer than South
America, they prepared to. send for one.
The silver that should give the tone
nearly every family contradictions
teapot, another tankard or a platter,
still others spoons.
How the silver was sent down. how
the bell was cast how it was stolen by
pirates, ransomed and sent up the river
is a story too long to tell. But one
Gay. when the barge came up from
New Orleans, a package carefully
wrapped so as to conceal its contents
was brought to the house of Monsieur
lie Cure.
The good priest, with two men to
help him, climbed into the steeple OF
the little church, long before made
ready, and hung the bell.
Ring, my children" he then called
cut. Ring, and may Gods blessing be
on my flock
The soft notes f1oated out and all
who heard them fell on their knees.
On that spot from where"the bells
notes rang forth now stands the great
Louisiana Purchase exposition, but of
all the bells that will ring in 1904 none
will be sweeter than the one which
first sounded the hour of evening
prayer

Death of Father Nurent.

One of the oldest, most estimable and
sincerely respected Catholic pastors of
San Francisco, passed to his eternal re-
ward in the death of the Rev. Denis
Nugent, for twenty-five years rector of
st. Roses parish. Father Nugent was
an admirable type of that Jealous, ener-
getic priesthood which combines intense
solicitude for the spiritual uplifting of
the people, with q practical eye to the
promotion Of their temporal welfare
Quiet. retiring and transformations in
disposition, stunning public notice
rather than counting it. he literally
spent his life in the performance of the
unceasing and manifold duties of his
sacred vocation. His devotion to the
cause of faith and the salvation of
souls committed to his spiritual guard
lanship, is materially attested by the
substantial results which crown his
work in st. Roses parish, the hand
some and spacious church built and
equipped and paid for under his direc-
ton, the commodious school in which
for two decades or more the children of
the parish have been solidly grounded
in the essentials of true Christian edu-
cation. The best monument to his ex-
allied priestly character, however, is the
love in which his memory is enshrined
in the hearts of thousands to whose
needs. in sorrow and in Joy. he faithful
ly ministered during the long years of
his fruitful ministry. May he rest in
peace.-Monitor.

there will certainly be no more need
for us to labor to see all things re-
stored in Christ. Nor is it for the at
tainment of eternal welfare alone that
this will be of service-it will also con-
tribute largely to mems temporal wei
fare and the advantage OF human So
ciety. For when these conditions nave
been secured, the upper and wealthy
classes will learn to be just and char
liable to those below, and the latter
will be able to bear with tranquility
and patience the trials of their hard
lot: the citizens will obey not lust but
law: reverence and love Will be deemed
a duty toward those that govern,
whose power comes only from God
DID,, ROM xiii, u And then? Then
at last it will be clear to all that the
Church, such as it was instituted by
Christ, must enjoy full and entire lib
erty and independence of all foreign
dominion; and we, in demanding that
same liberty, are defending not only the
sacred rights of religion, but are also
consulting the common veal and the
safety of nations. For it continues to
be true that "piety is useful for all
things" (2)-(2, I. Tim. w., S)-when
this is strong and f1ourishing the peo-
pie will truly sit in the fullness of
peace" Go, Is, xxi, 49,.
May God, who is rich in mercy a,
Ephes. H., ~, benignly speed this re-
storation of the human race in Jesus
Christ, for ''it is not of him that will
eth, or of him that runneth, but of God
16). And let us, venerable brothers, lin
the spirit of humility 90, with con-
tinuous and urgent prayer ask this of
him through the merits of Jesus Christ.
Let us turn, too, to the most powerful
intercession of the Divine Mother-to
obtain which we, addressing to you
this letter of ours on the day APP
pointed especially for concentrating
the holy rosary, ordain and confirm
all our predecessors prescriptions with
regard to the dedication of the present
month to the august Virgin, by the pub
lie recitation of the rosary in all
churches; with the further eXhortatiou
that we invoke as intercessors with
God the most pure spouse of Mary the
patron of the Catholic Church and the
holy princes Of the Apostles, Peter and
Paul
And that all this may be realized in
fulfillment of our ardent desire, and
that everything may be prosperous
with you. we invoke upon you the most
bountiful gifts of divine grace. And
now in testimony of that most tender
charity wherewith we embrace you and
all the faithful whom divine providence
has intrusted to us. we fmpart, with
all affection in the Lord, the apostolic
blessing to you, venerable brothers, to
the clergy and to your people.

historic Farnes palace, which will be

The holy see has appointed the Most
Rev. DR.. OGorman of the Society of
the Holy Ghost to the newly formed
bishopric of Sierra Leone, writes the
Freeman's Journal.
DR.. OGorman is very young bishop
being only 81 years Of age. He was
born in Hacketstown, County Carlow.
in 1889. He was one of the many bril-
liant students who won distinction for
Blackjack in the early years of the
intermediate. At the completion of his
literary course he went to Paris to
study philosophy and theology He
was an ardent student of the works of
st. Thomas Aquinas; indeed he was
credited by his class fellows with know
ing the "Summa' by heart. Ordained
priest in 1890. he was Immediately ap-
pointed professor of theology and
scripture in the mother hoHse of his
society. In 1896 he was sent to the

society in that province. From his
quiet retreat in Cornwells, near Phila-
delphia, he has just been called to found

liant young bishop.

Under the caption. Some Results of
Federation we might state that since
the converting of the Atlantic City con-
vention several of our county fedora
tons have started a vigorous crusade
against socialism. As result of agi-
tation, the Jefferson county federation
of Kentucky has succeeded in having
holy mass regularly celebrated in the
Louisville industrial school of reform.
Several religious denominations have
expressed a desire to cooperate with
the federation in the matter of secur-
ing state aid for UNCONVENTIONAL
schools. Rigid divorce laws are to be
recommended. Lecture courses and
congresses are being arranged for by
various county declarations. The Atcn-
ison county federation of Kansas passed
a resolution to have five holy masseS
offered up in thanksgiving for past
success. The federation of Galveston,
Tex, had solemn requiem celebrated
in commemoration of those who lost
their lives in the storm of 1900.

to hold it's semi-annual meeting in De-
troit next January The meeting will

ture lesson was read by Secretary Metcalf

Christian Endeavor extension was the
theme of DIR. Hamlin'S address. The real
value of Christian effort. he said, is to be
estimated by the spirit Of the workers. and
not by numbers. He urged the members Of
the society to be devoted to their work and
lf-sacrificing, and not to be carried away
by the mere desire to increase the member
ship.

ment of the soul; nor should they center all
their attention upon work which is for this
world only.
