debt, needed 81 new foundation. a bell
and many other necessary improve
ments. Father Bucchler took the mat
ter In charge. and soon became well
acquainted with all the Catholics In
the village, and seemed satisfied that
he would DC able to accomplish a great
deal. SO he put his shoulder to the
wheel and began the hard task that
was before him.
Tor fourteen months he axerted every
effort possible to get together the
necessary funds. He canvassed the
town from right to left. and met with
splendid success. Almost everyone
gave freely. A series of sales, suppars
and card parties were given by the
ladies Of the parish. which greatly in
creased the needed fund.
Within fourteen months the church
has not only been entirely cleared OF
debt. but $4,000 has also beer expended
on improvements in rcmodeling and
identifying the church The interior
presents a; most beautiful appearance
The statuary. chandeliers and altar
adornments are some Of the most ex-
pensive fixtures that could be pro-
cured. A. new pipe organ has recently
been installed, at a cost of $4,000. This
is high class musical instrument and
few city churches have its equal. The
choir is in, charge of Mrs. Nj. N. Kohl
whose musical ability is OF the highest
quality.
Reverend Rucchler. the pastor, is a.
most talented man and his sermons
ring with oratory and eloquence. lie
was born in Copenhagen. Denmark, in
1874. and came to this country scarcely
ten years ago. He was ordained TO the
priesthood at the ST. Paul Seminary
In 1901. and has since worked unccas-
ingly for the church. He is the master
OF fourteen languages, all of which lie
speaks f1uently. He also bears the dis
tinction of being the only Danish
priest in the United States
Father Buechler will leave shortly
for an extended trip across tho ocean,
and will visit Copenhagen, Rome and
other places of interest.
