CHURCH Interior
MADE ENCHANTING
INTERIOR OF BIG EDIFICE IS
WONDERFULLY Beautiful
ED BY ARTIST
STORY OF ST. PAUL IS TOLD
GEO. F. SARTORY, GENIUS WHO
TURNED BARE WALLS INTO
CHARMING RELIEFS

The frescoing of the St. Pauls
Catholic church of this city, which has
been under way for the past six
weeks, is completed. The artist, Geo.
+. Sartory, OF Wabasha, Mimi, came
here well recommended, having sue
cessfully decorated IS churches since
being established as doing church
decorating exclusively for the past % :.
years.
The interior of the church has been
transformed from plain walls into a
beautiful piece of Christian Art. The
ceiling is divided sectionally and these
arc splendid fields for ten emblems
taken from the life of st. Paul, from
his birth as Saul, to his conversion,
thence known as Paul, to his death.
These are historical, taken from the
Acts of the Apostles in Scripture.
The running borders on the ceilings
are the Passion flower, the Rose and
the Lily, significant of Christ, His
Mother anu Purity. The oak leaf
adjoining the windows signify the
strength of Christ's church. Over the
arch the inscription in Latin is "To
God is Given, Honor and Glory For
ever and Ever"
The sanctuary is gem of beauty.
This is devoted to the Holy Euchar-
ist. Running borders of wheat and
grapes signifying bread and wine sur
round the seven Sacrament emblems
lust inside the main arch in the cell
ing. The inscriptions below the WIN
dcws of the four Evangelists pertain
to their writings. The Chalice, Cl-
tborium. Monstrance and Host repre-
sent the Sacrifice of the Mass offer
cd daily -apon the altar. The vteplc
below. which is a beautiful piece OF
art. has for it's object the Passion
flower in transparent and luminous Ell
feet which appeals at once to the Vlsl-
tor. The whole is harmonious blend
of color, richly enhanced by an aDuno-
, ant use of gold leaf.
| The artist spared no pains to make
the work one of the best of its kind
and that he has succeeded is the YER
dict of able critics who have visited
= and studied it. The pastor and his
people can feel justly proud OF claim
ing one of the finest churches IN the
state for its size.
Rev. A. Art has, for many years
been a friend of the artist and MS
wife who so ably assisted in the work:
They are also old friends OF Mr.. and
Mrs. J. A. Schoenhoff, where they
rade their home during their stay in
tire CITY. An invitation is extended to
the public to visit st. Paul's chudch
: any time.
