Al TAKE DEGREES.
Members of Knights of Colslm
bus Have Notable Gathering.

!
Sunday, Jan. 19. the local st.
Edwald's Council, Knights of Column
bus. added Al new members to its.
roster. The occasion was one that
brought a large number of visitors
from far and near. Had the weather
| been more favorable a much larger
number would have come to take part
in the celebration. With every suc-
ceeding event of this kind the truth is
forcibly brought home to everyone
concerned that there is a woeful lack
of suitable facilities in the matter of
halls, ETC. large enough to accommo-
date any reasonable crowd of people.
Fortunately for this time the elements
helped to kaep the attendance within
the bounds prescribed by the space at
the disposal of the committee. Grace
vile Council, as usual, was well re-
presente8. having engaged a special
train for the occasion.
In the morning the candidates.
members uf the council and the visit-
ing Knights marched in a body from
their quarters in Linne's Hall to As.
sumption church where they assisted
at High Mass. The pastor. Rev.
Edward Jones, preached remarkably
forceful and eloquent sermon which
made deep impression on all bis
hearers.
Shortly after me o'clock the degree
work was taken in hand, the first de.
gree being exemplified by the Grace
vile team. The work OF the second
degree was in charge of Mr.. Chas.
Is. Burke, G. K. of the Morris Coun-
Gil. State Deputy, Neil Cronin, as
sisted by the team from Hennepin
council of Minneapolis, took personal
charge of the carrying out of the
ritual of the third dergee. After a
session that lasted until s O'Clock all
repaired to the armory where the
ladies of the parish had prepared a
splendid banquet. The hall was beauti-
fully decorated for the occasion and
the appearance of the tables with
their snowy linen. cut glass and silver
and decorated with beautiful pink
Iroses presented a very inviting aspect
indeed. The mcst Important part,
however, were the viands and they
certainly were of an order to do credit
to the ladies who have already long
since acquired an enviable reputation
for their cookery. Too much cannot
be said in praise of ali those who
had share in the splendidly organized
service.
The intellectual spice of the feast
Was furnished by z. the Rev. Ed
ward Jones. who in his usual happily
appropriate way, extended co dia
welcome TO all. Mr.. Frank Valesf
Of Graceville. who said some very nice
things about the "ladies.' 3. Mr.,
Neil Cronin, State Deputy. who made
some very timely and instructive re
marks about t'Our Order. and q, ths
very Rev. Dr. Moynihan of St
Thomas College. who furnished th'
real treat of the evening. Thus end
led day that will be ever memorable
in its significance for the local counci
and especially for those members whC
received the degrees on this occasion
