mittee of naturalized Danes, has re-
ceived a message from the Danish min
lister of state to the effect that the
gift to Denmark Of national park
from American Danes has been accept
ed. as we'll as the stipulation that the
park be exclusively reserved for Ameri-
cans on the Fourth of July"
The movement was begun a few years
ago. and was inspired through fear that
the traditions and folklore so insepara-
bly, attached to certain spots in Den
mark would pass out of the life of the
natives through the abolition of certain
landmarks. Among those so menaccd
was the heatherland OF northern Jut-

STRONG SERMON BY FATHER ICNATIUS Learned Priest Breaches on "The Great Tragedy of
 Calvary
NO SERVICE TONIGHT
Says Catholics Owe All They Have to tie Cross of the
 Redeemer.

The mission at S.. .Joseph's Cath ol c church continues to draw large crowds and the interest appears to
 increase as the week draws to q close.
 The sermon delivered by Father Ignatius Friday night was on "The Grest Tragedy of Calvary
 Father lgna jus pictured to his audience the narrowing scenes of Good Friday. the day which marked the greatest CT me in the wcrld's h sto.y. The one idea running through the fathers sermon was the ingfatitude manifes, ea to the Savior of mankind. He portrayed the in gratitude contained in the betrayal of the Master by Judas Iscariot, the man who sold h S Lord and Mastelj for thirty pieces Of lver; the pang caus@a to the heart of Christ by the Apostle Peters three-fold denial.
 In graphic language the orator pictures the scenes i'll the different cOur,, rooms where the Man-God was judged by his own creatures and if nally condemned. to death by the peo- pie whom He loved so tenderly. The cross the preacher showed, is the very law of the history of Catholic nat ons. Just in proportion as the nations held on to the cross in the same proportion did they hold on to their faith
 France, hailed at one time the eld est daughter of the Mother Church, because of her staunch faith and un- sWerv;ng Loyalty to the Holy See, has i'll recent years become blot upon the churchs history. She allowed the cross to be torn from her church steeples, then from her school rooms, then from 'ner Catholic homes, andr last Of all from Cathol.c hearts. And with the cross went the faith of France, until she brought sorrow to the hearts of the vicar of Christ.
 Ireland, on the contrary, held on to her faith amid many prosecutions. Her children were persecuted for the r fai'n; they were driven from the land If their b nth and made to suffer for tae faith implanted in their

hearts by the great S.. Patrick. but you might just as well try to stamp the n mrock our 0f Ireland as to lob he Irish of the,r faith They suffered. they were lovers of the cross of Christ ami in consequence t-2r r ia th never faltered.
 Father Ignatius hen showed how History must repeat itself and that if the people f t0day want to pre- serve their faith hey must hold on to the love the cross of J sus Christ, He condemned the ingratitude that is manifested on all sides today to- Waf!s the Redeemer of mank nd. Men. s anding within the vefy snad ow of the cross &Ge yet ignorant of what the cross means.
