PAGEANT IN BELGIUM N.
BISHOP HEYLN PREsIDEs OVER
RELIGIOUS CELEBRATION IN
HONOR OF ST HEDELIN, PA
IRON OF WISE.

At Wise, Belgium, on October / mag
nificent fetes marked the five hundred
and seventy-fifth anniversary of the
translation of the remains of ST..
Hedelin, patron of the town. On Sun
day religious and historic procession
of surprising picturesqueness passed
through the streets, which were
beautifully adorned with flags and
painted with fir-trees festooned with
many colored roses. The first car
represented the entry of Pope Leo
III, and the Emperor Charlemagne
into Wise in 804. Next was depicted
the townsfolk receiving the Bishop,
Prince John of Heisberg, bringing
them privileges in 1425. After these
came cars depicting scenes from the
life of st. Hedelin, surrounded by
charming groups of young girls, little
pages and cavaliers, all the dresses
designed in sumptuous manner.
Finally came the shrine of the saint
with a bust, a gem of goldsmiths'
work of the 18th and 18th centuries.
-Monsignor Heyln, Tdshop of Namur,
presided over the fetes, which were
to have closed with superb illumina-
tions, but were, however, spoilt by
the rain.

HOLY NAME PARADE 5
FORTY THOUSAND MEN MARCH
IN PHILADELPHIA, 2s,5oo IN
PROVIDENCE $4,000 IN BROOK
LYN- MAGNIFICENT DEMON
STRATIoNs OF FAITH.

Last Sunday witnessed magnificent
parades in honor and exaltation of the
Holy Name in Philadelphia, Provi-
dence and Brooklyn.
In the city of Philadelphia the dio-
cesan Holy Name Societies marshalled
more than 10000 men in grand pa
rade which occupied five hours in pass
ing the Cathedral where it was re-
viewed by the Most Reverend Arch
bishop Prendergast, the Right Rever-
end Bishop McCort, the Right Rever-
end Mgr. James F. Trainor, V. G., and
other members of the clergy. The
streets through which it passed we're
lined with half million sympathizers
and admirers of all denominations.
Each of the six divisions of the
parade assisted at Benediction in a
different church. At the Cathedral,
the Most Reverend Archbishop Prem
dergast officiated He read the obliga-
tion of the Holy Name Society which
was recited in unison by the members.
This was followed by Benediction of
the Blessed Sacrament.
In Providence, r. L, there were
28,472 men in line representing 79
Of the 80 societies of the diocese.
AS the procession passed the Cathe-
dral it was reviewed by the Right
Reverend Bishop Harkins and the
Right Reverend Mgr. Doran, v. G. In
the ranks of the marchers were rep
resentatives of the Holy Name So
cieties among the different nationali-
ties of the diocese. A temporary altar
was erected outside the church so
that it would be visible to the Holy
Name men, and the tens of thousands
who witnessed the parade. Solemn
Benediction was given by the Right
Reverend Bishop Harkins and at it's
close, he delivered an address in
which he commented upon the sig
nifcance of the parade as a religious
demonstration which would also make
for better citizenship.
In Brooklyn, $4,000 men participated
In the Holy Name parade which was
held in the twenty districts of the
city in each of which the parade was
followed by a service in the local
church. This service consisted of a
hymn, the recitation of the Litany Of
the Holy Name, a sermon and Bene-
diction Of the most Blessed Sacra-
ment. A notable feature OF the pa
rade was the number OF young men
who participated In It.

BISHOP CHAPLAIN GENERAL
MGR. voLLMAR HAS JURIsDIc-
TIoN OVER ALL THE CATHOLIC
ARMY cHAPLAINs IN THE GER
MAN EMPIRE.

From an exchange we learn that in
accordance with a Pontifical Brief
issued by Plus TX in May, 1869, with
the concurrence of the Prussian gov
ernment, there is in the German army
a Bishop Chaplain General, appointed
by the Pope, who is the ecclesiastical
superior of all the Catholic army chap
lains. This position is now held by
Monsignor VoIImar and his army dio-
cese els co-extensive with the German
Empire; there are 274 military chap
lains under his orders. OF this num-
Der, nine are chief claplains attached
to the great garrisons of Strasburg,
Frankfort, Coblenz, Berlin, Hanover,
Cologne, Metz, and Breslau. There
are forty-six chaplains Of division and
2O6 ordinary or assistant chaplains in
the various other military stations of
the Empire. The Catholic military
chaplaincy stan works out to one chap
lain for every $50 Catholic soldiers.
In addition there are sixteen chap
lains for the Imperial marine service,
and measures are now being taken to
provide chapIains for Catholics in the
German colonies

ARMY GHAPLAINs RESIGN
FATHER FERRY OF COAST AR
TILLERY AND FATHER MURPHY
OF FORT SILL WILL LEAVE THE
SERVICE.

The United States Army is about
to lose two of it's most efficient chap
lains, for Reverend John Aloysius
Ferry and Reverend A. C. Murphy
have rendered their designations.
Father Ferry was born in New York
on September "a, 1871, and was ap-
pointed chaplain on June 4, 1903,
and assigned to the Tenth Regiment
of Infantry with station at Fort Will
liam H. Seward, Alaska, and after
this was transferred to the United
States Military Prison at Fort Leav-
enworth, Kansas, where he did great
work and met with much success.
About year ago he was transferred
to the Coast Artillery Corps and has
been stationed at Fort Washington,
Maryland, near the national capital.
Reverend Andrew C. Murphy, of the
Fifth Field Artillery. is stationed at
Fort Sill, Oklahoma. He has been
recalled to his community by his
Provincial at Germantown, Pa.
Father Murphy was appointed to
the Army from Illinois, on September
IL, 1908, and was assigned to the
Twentieth Regiment of Infantry, and
later was transferred to the Seventh
Cavalry, and again to the Fifth Field
Artillery. Father Ferry's resignation
with that of Father Murphy's, leaves

parish and was succeeded in the fol-
lowing year by the Rev. Plus Schmitt
who at present resides in Switzerland
Father Schmitt remained at Holy
Name until 1892, when he was sue
ceeded by Fathers Venn, Jansen, HON
pesch and Baczick who successfully
attended to the spiritual needs of the
people until 1904, when the Rev. J. H.
Keil was appointed pastor Father
Keil was most successful in organizing
the parish by establishing a ST. Plus
Society for men, Ladies' Altar So
ciety and Young Ladies' Society,"
He remained in charge until his un-
timely death by drowning on Easter
Monday, 1908.
Father Keil was succeeded by the
Rev. F. M. Doring, the present pastor
of st. Walburga and Rogers. During
his pastorate the cemetery was laid
out and graded and now it is one of
the most beautiful in the county. Dur
ing the present month huge crucifix,
twenty feet in height, donated by st.
Plus Society, was erected in the ceme-
terry. 1t was during the pastorate of
Father Doring that the parochial resi-
dence and the church were destroyed
by fire. The people were not discour-
aged by these misfortunes and steps
were taken to rebuild the church and
residence. Father Doring was trans
ferred to ST. Walburga in September,
1911, and for four months. the congre-
cation was without a pastor.
In January, 1912, the Rev. George
Scheffold, o. S. B., of the Assumption
Church, st. Paul, assumed charge of
the parish, visiting it twice month
until September, 1912, when he was
appointed pastor During his incum-
bency the church and residence were
finished and furnished The church
is a beautiful structure in Roman
style, one hundred and ten feet long
by forty-two feet wide. It's three
beautiful affairs and the Communion
rail were donated by members of the
parish. The church and priests resi-
dence are among the best in the coun-
ty and there is not a cent of debt on
the parish. This speaks volumes for
the faith and self-sacrifice of the peo-
pie of Holy Name.

The musical portion of the program
will be confined to two concerts,
matinee and an evening performance,
in the Pro-Cathedral, on Thanksgiving
day, November %, by the Paulist
Choral Society of Chicago, under the
direction of the Rev. William J. Finn,
G. S. P. This famous choir of the
Paulist Fathers will be composed of
fifty boys whose marvellous singing
has evoked the admiration of music
lovers, not only in America, but also
in Europe. 1t was the Paulist Boys
Choir which won the prize at the In
ternational Music Festival in Paris in
May, 1912, and their subsequent tour
of Europe ended at Rome where they
were received by the Holy Father and
sang in his presence.
Season tickets for this series of lee
lures and concerts can now be had at
the rate of $40 each on application to
Father Cullen. The committee in
charge of this literary and musical
festival hope to dispose of at least
5000 season tickets, and, in view of
the rich and varied character of the
program offered to the public, there is
little doubt that the demand for them
will be very great.
