MANY FRIENDS
At FUNERAL OF
BELOVED LADY
LARGE coNcouRsE FOLLOWED
REMAINS OF LATE MRS. DOR
oTHEA FRIEDRIcHsEN TO THEIR
LAST RESTING PLACE.

A large concourse Of friends yester-
day afternoon followed the remains of
the late Mrs. Dorothea Friedrichsen,
aged 81, to the grave, first attending
the services at the German-Lutheran
church, where the entire service was
spoken in German, the native tongue
of the deceased.
Mrs. Freidrichsen expired rather
suddenly early Saturday, following az
attack Friday night of paralysis AL
though more than three-score years of
age, she was in good health compare
lively, but the attack about O'CLOCK
Friday night proved too much for the
beloved woman, and her death oc-
Cured early Saturday.
Announcement of the sad event pain
ed many friends. In her life time,
she was a conscientious, lovable old
lady, whom to know was to love, and
she had surrounded herself with q
large circle of admiring friends, all
of whom felt her death almost as
much as that of a relative.
The funeral yesterday was the sig
nal for the outpouring of many evil
dences of the esteem in which she was
held. Flowers of choicest cut and
floral designs of suitable type, were
offered in profusion and members of
the German society, of which her be-
reaved husband was president, turned
out in full force, as mark of respect
to the deceased.
Pail bearers were as follows: Messrs.
George White, Louis Seeger, James
White, Otto Wicke, Ernest Pfeiffer
and Jacob Hansen.

LETTER FROM
BISHOP ALLEN
WILL Be HEARD
CONGREGATIONS IN ALL THE
CATHOLIC CHURCHES HERE
LISTENED TO aEPIsTLE, WHICH
WAS READ ON SUNDAY.

The following letter from Bishop Ed
ward p. Allen was read Sunday ana
will also be on next Sunday. The
letter follows:
Letter From Bishop.
Mobile, Ala, Feb. 6th 1915.
To the Clergy and Laity OF the Diocese
of Mobile:
Dearly Beloved:
The First Sunday in Lent is the day
appointed by the Third Plenary Goun-
Gil of Baltimore for the Annual Col
lection for the Home and Foreign Mis-
sions.
The amount given last year for this
worthy purpose was $1,017.S1. We hope
that an even larger amount will be
contributed this year, for although
there is a general complaint of hard
times because of the European war,
a greater responsibility has fallen
UPON us to provide for the priests and
sisters toiling in the mission fields. .
The needs of our Home Missions
and those among the Indians and col
ored people are everywhere pressing
upon US. We cannot be too generous
toward them, especially as we see the
most gratifying returns for the eff
forts made.
This year, however, the Foreign
Missions have a special claim on ouT
charity. Heretofore, supported chief
ly by European Nations, they are now
in consequence of this awful war, de-
prived of help, and unless we come T"
their assistance, many missions will
have to be abandoned. Shall we, who
IINS-ta anti a l.
low this misfortune to befall them;
Shall we through indifference per
nit millions of souls to be deprived OF
all spiritual aid and comfort; God for
bid!
The Lenten season calls for gen
erous aims giving. By contributing
according to our means to TINS col
lection we become sharers in the mer-
its and rewards of Apostolic mission
aries at home and in foreign lands.
The Lenten season is a time OF
prayer, fasting and alms-giving In
which we should consider well our
duties to God, to our neighbor and 10
our own souls. 1t is time when,
listening more frequently to the Word
of God, we should give up amusements
and pleasures which at other seasons
of the year may be freely enjoyed,
Christ Our Lord, by His fast in the
desert, as well as by His instructions,
has shown us that the way to Heaven
is through penance and modification
IF any man will come after Me, let
him deny himself, take up his cross
and follow Me-" Matt. XVI, "a. I'm
less you do penance, you shall all like
wise perish" Luke XVI, "a.
By penance sin can be blotted out
and strength and courage restored to
the soul. Sometimes, when men are
unfaithful to God and His law and
neglect penance, God permits them to
be scourged by wars, pestilence and
other afflictions. If He chastises His
children in His anger, we should not
forget that His mercy can be obtained
by prayer and modification.
1t is our duty therefore to humble
ourselves before him during the Len
ten season and turn away His wrath
by true contrition and penance.
This letter should be read on Quin-
quagesima Sur day and on the day OF
the collection itself.
Commenting myself to your prayers
I am,
Very sincerely yours in Christ,
EDW. p. ALLEN,
R. o. GEROW, Bishop of Mobile
Secretary.
