Nearly forty years ago a church
bell chimed in Salt Lake City, calling
/ to worship a number of Catholic
communicates. Sunday the same bell
again pealed forth, but in the new
city of Tooele in the picturesque val

of the bell at Tooele Sunday marked
the dedication of the new and at
tractive church of st. Marguerite, so
named in loving memory of the
beautiful young daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles McGurrin, who died two
years ago in Michigan. Many Salt
Lake people were present, having left
the city on a special train at 7:45

remembrance of the cherished young
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Nc
Gurrin, who have been chiefly instru
mental in the erection of a Catholic
church in this beautiful valley.
Tribute to Bishop Seaman.
I'm speaking of the dedication OF
this church, the memories of by-gone
years come to the heart, the memo
ries that must fill Bishop Scanlan's
great, generous heart today when he
thinks of the old days when he was
Father Seaman, to all men, women
and children of Utah, be they Nor
mon. Jew or Gentle In fact ne is
yet Father Seaman to the affection
ate, sincere, true friends of the old
days, and Father Scanlan he will re-
main until the end, that we hope in
humble submission to Gods holy law
is far distant"
In conclusion. Father Brennan eX-
tended his congratulations to the
Catholics of Tooele on the success at
tending the erection of the fine edi-
flee.
