affair SOCIETY NOTES.

Last Sunday was one that will be
long remembered in st. Mary's parish.
the occasion being the great feast of
Pentecost, when a large number OF
our little boys and girls had the hap
piness of receiving their first Holy
Communion and the Sacrament of
Confirmation. The affairs were beau
tifully decorated for the day with
greenhouse and early garden flowers.
The high altar was particularly at
traotfve with dark red peonies and
carnations, while pink and white car
nations delicately adorned the side al
tars.
Our good bishop had kindly invited
the first communicates and Children
of Mary to take breakfast with him.
Immediately after their thanksgiving,
therefore, they repaired to the base
ment Of the cathedral, where gener-
Gus and appetizing breakfast had been
arranged by Miss Nora Gleason, with
her usual kind thought for everybody,
and for the little ones in particular
Mrs. James O'ConnCr, president of the
Altar society, and her associates PIC
pared and served the breakfast, and
did all in their power TO make every
che happy. Mrs. O'Connor wishes to
thank the ladies and gentlemen who
so kindly assisted her
. H. Bintz and Mrs. w. Ha-
mer have been appointed to attend to
the affairs for next Sunday.

The funeral of little Martha Cra-
mer, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Bert
Cramer, who was accidentally
drowned near Thistle last week, took
place from St Mary's cathedral last
Friday. The choir sang some beauti-
full hymns.
Rev. w. K. Ryan, who oficiated
at the funeral. spoke on death gener-
ally, and how pleasing the death of
the just was in the sight of God. He
referred to the universal mourning
and sympathy over the King of Eng
land, who, like the humblest of his
subjects, was unable to ward off the
hand of death, and was less favor
lite than the little innocent winsome
child now before the altar. limo
cence, truth and justice were the ar
mors of God and would win blissful
immortality for all who wore them.
In this is real consolation for the be-
reaved parents whose child is Sleep
ing the death Of the just.
