Distribution Of September Bullet

Distribution of September Bulletins.
The class reports for the months of
September were read out and given to
the pupils at the general assemblies
of the different departments Monday
afternoon, Oct 1. The program rem
dered by the Misses A. Carter and j.
McCune of this years class proved en-
joyable as well as improving. In her
excellent singing of I'm a Merry Zin-
CARA" Miss Carter showed remarka BILE
voice development sine the previous oc-
casions on which she sang in the as
sembly hail. The readings were Sc
lected from the poems of the Rev. Ben
iamin D. Hill, who is perhaps better
known by his name in religion, Father
Edmund of the Heart of Mercy, G. P.
A few biographical points were given
by Miss McCune in the remarks with
which she so gracefully prefaced her
reading of his verses, 1.-THE Rosary
Miss Carter likewise introduced her
selection. ITO Christopher Columbus, -
by a brief and simple analysis of the
theme, and pointed out its appropriate
ness to the October program, not only
because the anniversary of the great
discoverer falls in this month, but also
on account of Columbus devotion to
the Blessed Virgin. Needless to say,
the heroic character is depicted by
Father Edmund from the viewpoint OF
faith
The rosary devotions take place
every evening at o'clock, and are at
tended by all the Catholic pupils. The
privilege of Benediction of the Blessed
Sacrament twice a week is also en-
joyed during the month of the Rosa
ry.
