DIOCESE OF LEAD.
APPEAL FOR MISSIONARY AID IN
THE BAD LANDS.
Dear Fathers and Mothers:

Dear Fathers and Mothers:
Kindly encourage your very dear sons
and daughters to send few nickels
of their pin money to the undersigned,
missionary priest who has hundred
miles of territory for his parish.
am trying to build a few small
churches in the Bad Lands of South
Dakota. The Catholic Extension So
ciety, may God bless it," has been
quite generous, but we are still strug-
Cling owing to the failure of crops last
year.
Hoping that the dear fathers and
mothers to whom this appeal is made
will ask their loving children to re-
spond, and in advance I will say, MAY
God bless you and them"
Fraternally yours in S. H. j.,
Rev. Thos. J. F. McNaboe.
Kadoka, South Dakota.
Lead: Preparations are being
made at the Cathedral for a mission
to be opened next Sunday, from which
great results are expected, as the
Cathedral parish has the enviable
record of never doing anything by
halves. Congregational singing is to
be one of the features, and the attend
ance of young men another.
The ladies of the Altar Society held
another successful food sale Satur-
day, netting $3.50, only one-half of
the parish taking active part. The
other half will hold a friendly rival
sale in two weeks
Conditions in the Hills: Unfor-
tunately, Sunday work is quite the
general rule in the Hills though in
different ways respect for the Lords
day is growing, as civilization asserts
itself. Extravaganza in dress and liv-
ing, another evidence of barbarism,
still prevails to very great extent;
but we have had no suicides or MUIR
ders to record for several weeks and
a visitor, if he remained with us for
only day or two, might easily be
persuaded that conditions here are
quite normal.
Prayers for good harvest are be-
ing very generally offered, but the
faithful are so thinly scattered over
the diocese that we can seemingly Sc
cure only an occasional sprinkle of
rain where good soaking is what we
need. Please help us pray!
Sturgis: Sixty young ladies follow
ed the retreat exercises for the So
dality of st. Martins Academy held
at Sturgis last week by the Rt. Rev.
Bishop.
The work of excavating for the Me-
mortal Chapel was begun on Monday
and the building will be pushed for
ward with all possible speed.
Eagle Butte: A new parish is being
organized at Eagle Butte, where
church 20 by 40 is being built. AS
soon as it is completed Father Vogel,
the Indian missionary for the Chey-
enne Agency and reservation, expects
to take up his residence there and at
tend the reservation from this center.
Faith: Father WIRING will also soon
move from Meadow to Faith as his
headquarters. Thus both priests will
be able to live on railroad and at
the same time enjoy each others
neighborhood.
Presho: A controversy is now on
in Presho in regard to the possession
OF the cemetery, and 1t looks as though
we may have to pray that the bodies
as well as the souls of the departed
be allowed to rest IN peace.
indian Chapel to Be Moved: Rev
Ambrose Mattingly, o. S. B., who at
tends the Lower Brule Indian Reser-
walton from Stephan, S. D., writes
that a recent survey places the Indian
chapel in the highway, making its re-
moval imperative. Besides the work
that the Indians will do the removal
will cost $4,000, of which only $2OO.0 90
is in sight locally. The Bishop prom
ises $4,000. Who will donate one
half of the balance? And who the
other half?
