BUILT BY FRENCH SOLDIERS
CLOSE TO THE FIRING LINE
BLESSED RAMENT RE-
SERVED THERE.

In Champagne, France, close to the
firing line, some French soldiers have
constructed an underground chapel in
honor of Our Lady of the Trenches.
These men have done the work en-
tirely themselves, and it was COM
pleted in eleven days. One man, a
corporal sapper, undertook the max
ing of the door; another corporal, a
carpenter by trade, the carpentry and
the belfry; a mechanic, the bells,
with the assistance of a musician; a
decorator the painting of the walls;
joiner the tabernacle, which is a
real work of art; an engraver the
sanctuary lamp, cut out Of the socket
of shell; gardener arranged the
ground outside in pretty flower beds.
The soldiers we're desirous of having
nice church, and they have sue
ceeded. 1t was blessed on Passion
Sunday, when the chaplain explained
that this church, dedicated to Our
Lody of the Trenches, was Chris
tian and patriotic act, and offered en-
tirely by the men themselves. Since
then there is Mass every morning al
| Ave o'clock. Confessions are heard in
the sacristy, and there have beer
many conversions. On Easter morn

severed intestines. He is regarded as
the founder of the present system of
intestinal surgery. He was a pioneer
in several departments of surgery. He
is credited with having performed one
of the first, if not the first, operations
for appendicitis; he was the first sur
geon to make an artificial joint out
transplant bone from one body to an
other, and the first to excise portions
of the lungs.
Some years ago DR.. Murphy was the
slowed each year by the University
of Notre Dame on some member of
the Catholic 1aity whose work reflects
credit upon the Church. A few
months ago the Holy Father conferred
the honor of Papal Knighthood on DR..
Murphy in recognition of his valuable
services to religion.
The death Of Dr. Murphy is a great
loss to medical science and especially
to surgery, not only in the United
States, but throughout the world He
was figure of international prom
inence and his clinic at the Mercy
Hospital in Chicago, was the mecca
of surgeons from all parts of the
world. During his whole career he
was loyal and devoted Catholic and
gave of his services unreservedly for
the welfare of the Church and the
good of religion.

great amount of work done in the in
stitution. Two new buildings will be
erected, one containing work rooms,
and the other dormitory accommoda-
tions.
At the present time the institution
is out of debt and the income from
the work carried on by the Sisters
and inmates is sufficient to defray the
ordinary expenses of the establish
ment and its upkeep, but entirely in
adequate to provide means for the
erection of the proposed buildings. I'm

to enlarge the institution to meet the

selves and for the people of their re-
spective parishes, pledged cordial
support to the undertaking and prom
ised to do all in their power to make
it success. An executive committee
of priests and laymen will be appoint

over the campaign, to map out the

LAKE JOHANNA SUMMER CAMP

Of three seasons it has registered
close to 800 boys. With this progress
blessing the early stages of its devel-
opment it is easy to conjecture the
expansion it is to reach in the future.
The camp deserves to be patron
lied. Institutions of this nature, un-
der Catholic direction, are becoming
very popular in many of the eastern
states; in fact, so popular have they
grown that large parishes are organ
izing their own Summer Camps.
One of the most widely known camps
in the East and one that attracts re-
cruits from many states is Camp
Namaschaug, of New Hampshire,
which is supervised by the Very Rev.
j. ]. Griffin, Phi. D., of the Catholic
University. 1t is well known what
strides non-C Catholic organizations are
making in this matter. The Y. M.
C. A. is devoting a great deal of atten-
tion to the Summer Camp life, and
inducing many Catholic young men
to spend week or more under its
leadership.
The camp outing brings many ad-
vantages to the boy-he engages in
manly occupations in close personal
contact with his fellows, and acquires,
in common with them, sense of mu-
tual dependence. Stimulated by the
example of other boys of like age
he enters with Zest into athletic

traits of real manly boy.
Lake Johanna Summer Camp closed
this summer feeling confident that
next year it will be even more fully
patronized, and that it's many friends
will strive to make it more widely
known as by far the most secure and
healthful place in the vicinity of the
Twin Cities for young boy to spend
the summer vacation.

Thursday evening, August 10. The oc-
casion was marked by an attractive
program which included a large bon
fire, speeches by Mr.. j. A. Hartigan,
Doctor Owen McKeon, and Father
John Dunphy, and the serving of re,
freshments. The attendance was rep
resentative and large, numbering at
least, over three hundred. To those
Taoat Interested this was the most
pleasing and gratifying feature of the
evenings entertainment as it fur

camp has won an enviable place in
the minus of the Catholic people of
the Twin Cities and surrounding dis
tricts.
During the 1916 season, including
eight weeks, 102 boys were enrolled
This surpassed, on an average, the
registration of the two previous years
While the camp is equipped to accom-.
modate even larger number, yet at
certain periods of the season just
closed, it's capacity limit was reached

be filled at all times.

The solemn and impressive cere-
monies of a religious reception and
profession attracted large number
of priests and Sisters to st. Joseph S
Novitiate on the afternoon on August
Is, the feast of the Assumption. The
function took place in the convent
chapel at three o'clock. Fifteen
young women who had completed the
prescribed period of preliminary train
ing were clothed with the habit of the
Sisterhood and entered upon the two
year period of further training in the
novitiate before being admitted to full
membership in the Community.
They entered the chapel clothed in
bridal robes and wells, carrying bou
quets of flowers, and after receiving
from the Most Reverend Archbishop
who oficiated, permission to lay aside
their worldly finery for the sombre
habit of the Sisterhood, they retired
to put on the religious garb of the
Community. AS soon as they with
drew from the sanctuary rail, twenty
eight novices, bearing lighted candles
knelt before the altar, spoke the words
which bound them to the observance
of the vows of poverty, chastity ant
obedience for one year, and received
from the celebrant the crucifix indie
ative of full membership in the con
gregation. They we're followed b!
thirty Sisters who made the final VOW
by which they bound themselves IRE
vocably to the performance of tn
sacred duties enjoined by the religion
life. The newly-clothed novices thel
re-entered the chapel, knelt for
moment at the altar rail to give e1
preston to the gratitude which thei
