CHRISTMAS IN BELLE PRAIRIE
(Contrihutedl

Belle Prairie, through the energy
and zeal of its new pastor, the Rev.
Henry Pellet, and the generous CO.
operation of it's pious parishioners, has
been the scene Of the most touching
and religious ceremony ever possible
to witness in a country place.
The Rev. Pastor, deciding to CON-
memorate the great and beautiful
Christmas festival by midnight
mass, at his suggestion, the good par
BILE little edifce more worthy Of so
great celebration, installed mag
nifcent new main altar and hand
some crib which was shown off to good
advantage by large electric candelabra
throughout the church. These most
pleasing and long-needed improvements
greatly added to the sacredness and
charm Of the grand svlemnitv and III
spired a most pious and fervent devo
ton in the assembled congregation.
Never had the Christmas bells sound
ed so joyous, so vibrant, to the devout
worshipers fastening over the country
roads to pay homage to their Infant
King, as on this holy night. The echo
of the bells filled the air with their
joyful strain as they pealed forth their
divine message of love and mercy
"Christmas! Christmas!
"A most profound recollection was
manifested by the entire congregation,
when just at. the midnight hour the
crib was illuminated and the sacred
hymn "Miniut Chritiens' which was
intoned by the inspiring voice Of the
Rev. Pastor, and continued bv the
choir accompanied by the organ and
violin. For moment one felt himself
transported to Bethlehem, to the bleak
cave and there beheld the Divine
Saviour lying in the rude manger upon
the rough straw and heard lne angels
glorious canticle of praise" Glory to
God in the highest, and peace on earth
to men of good will!'
Notwithstanding, his great fatigue,
subsequent upon the unusual exertions
Of the past week in preparing the
church for the great feast, the Rev.
Pastor delivered most eloquent ser
mon in English upon the great event
commemorated on that day. Eacn
word falling from his lips was 50 in
spring and full Of JUNCTION that his
auditors were deeply moved, and with
out doubt, all hearts united in aFking
the same petition from the Christ
Child, 30, Divine Infant, spare to us
for many many years, our beloved and
devoted Pastor, whose thirst for the
glory Of God and the salvation Of
souls is insatiable.''
Yes, Belle Prairie, as Bethlehem, re-
ioice on this day for the Lord has Wis
tied and blessed thee.
The pensioners wishing to express
their appreciation to t].eir beloved
pastor for his exertions in behalf of
the church and parish, presented him
with generous collection as a slight
token Of their gratitude.
After the function, there was an in
terchange of good wishes between the
good father and his devoted flock,
and then everyone returned to their
home rejoicing at the remembrance of
the grand ana beautiful religious
spectacle he had just witnessed.
Christmas, 1916, thou shalt be for
Belle Prairie a date ever memorabilia
