DULUTH NEWS,

Captain Frank Maginnis, who is sta.
toned in the South, is visiting with
friends in Duluth.
Right Rev. Bishop James McGol-
rick, arrayed in full pontificals, blessed
and christened the new bell for St.
James Catholic church last Sunday
evening with water which he had
specially blessed for the occasion.
| The bell was christened "St. Mary
Rose" in honor of Mrs. NJ. F. Fila.
trault who had contributed the largest
amount toward the purchase of the
| bell. The bell was washed within and
| without with the blessed water. 1t
was then annointed seven times upon
the inside with Oleum Infamarum, oil
for the sick, and upon the outside in
like manner with Oleum Christianum,
oil of Christianity. 1t was then rung
by each of fifty sponsors, Miss Fee
heley being first sponsor among the
women and Patrick Martin first spon-
sor for the men. Bishop McGolrick
delivered sermon on Bells" at this
service. He referred to the ancient
and holy history of bells and spoke of
the voice of the bell as the voice of
God, declaring that it was in no way
to be considered the mere reverbera-
tion of metal. He told of the offices
of the bell the world over, through all
time, saying that it had ever been a
voice to call the faithful to prayer and
worship or to warn them from danger,
mingle with the rejoicings of the peo-
pies of God at their wedding feasts, or
mingling with their weeping when
death should smite their loved ones.
| He spoke of the Angelus which fell
with benificent effect upon the ears of
the children of God. He said that it
had been revered OF the prophets, of
old and would be an honored cymbal
from generation unto generation for
all time. The bishop spoke to the
children of fidelity to their church at
me early mass at $3.50 o'clock in the
morning at which service he admins
| tered the sacrament of Holy commun-
Ion to more than 200 persons. At
high mass, which was sung by Rev.
Father John F. Kelly, the bishop spoke
Of the Christians duty to his church
and toward the state. The singing at
