grand ball given under the auspices of
the ladies of the parish Friday, Deem

Thanksgiving at the Cathedral: In
keeping with the spirit of the day,
Thanksgiving was fittingly celebrated
with High Mass sung by the Rev. VIM
Colbert, pastor of the Cathedral, and
an appropriate sermon preached by
the Right Rev. Bishop. In few well
chosen words he pointed out the ma
tons duty of thanks to God for the
many blessings bestowed on us as a
people and in particular the duty of
Catholics for the great blessing of re-
ligious liberty, prescribed to us by
other nations, but guaranteed by the
American Constitution.
