the Impressive Cerem onies Attract
Large Attendance from All
Denominations in the City as
we'll as .1any from Surrounding
Towns.

Last Sunday was joyous occasion
in the City of Morris, as at that time all
the people of all denominations joined
with the Catholics in their formal
dedication of the new Assumption
church and many were present from
surrounding towns. The exercises
were impressive and instructive, and
besides the notable addresses made,
the special choir deserves compli-
mentary mention for their excellent
parts on the program.
The following detailed account of
the dedication is contributed
On Sunday, Oct. 9th, there took
place at Morris, Mimi, one of the
most important events in the history
of the diocese Of st. Cloud. The new
Assumption church was dedicated
with all the solemn pomp which the
Catholic church loves to lavish when
she consecrates temple to the glory
of God. The archbishop of the eccles-
iastical province, the bishop of the
diocese, a goodly gathering of priests,
