in that position by her sister, Mother
Alexia, who, prior to that time had
occupied many positions of promi-
nence in the order which she entered
on September Is, 1873. She was the
first Superior of st. Alexis Hospital,

institution of its kind in America,
where she remained from 1885 to
1888. Thence she was transferred to
st. Mary's Hospital, Duluth, which
she governed for five years. She
was Superior of st. Anthony's Hos
.pita1, Bemidii, from 1899 to 1902,
and of st. Vincent's Hospital, Crook
ston, the two following years. On
the death of her sister, Mother Scho-
lastiea, she was chosen Prioress of the
Benedictine Sisterhood, a position
which she occupied at the time of her
death. Both Mother Scholastica and
Mother Alexia were talented women
and exemplary religious and did much
to promote the interest of religion in
the Diocese of Duluth and throughout
the Northwest. Their only brother
died many years ago.

Helen Hughes HieIscher.)

The mills of God! The mills of Cod
They're grinding fast today,
And the young and strong in the pride
of life,
Are turned again to clay.
The homes He fashioned for mems
souls
Are crushed and flung away.
His wrath is kindled on the heights,
His sword is swift and keen,
And in the awful path of death,
His strong right hand is seen.
The whitening bones of countless dead,
The green earth cannot screen.
But not the dead who bravely died,
Are victims of His wrath,
Who poured upon their country's
shrine,
Their warm blood's crimson bath,
But those whose guilty hands must
reap
The fearful aftermath.
Turn, Lord for humbled in the dust,
We bow before Thy might,
We are Thy children, though our feet
Fled far the path of right,
In mercy Judge us, Lord, for none
Are blameless in Thy sight.

Mr.. Hill would have reached his
seventy eighth birthday on September
Is, having been born near Guelph
Ont, Canada, on that day in the yeal
1888. He came to the then frontier
trading-post of st. Paul in 1856, anC
followed different lines of employment

one, he began his railroad career as
manager of the st. Paul and Pacific

closed to the young pioneer the dor
mant possibilities of the great plains
fired his imagination and enabled hin
to see, as in vision, the potentiali
ties of this unexplored land which he
determined to develop.
AS first step in the realization OF
his project, he undertook the hercu
lean task of extending his railroad
across the plains to the Pacific slope
for the purpose of attracting settlers
into the region tributary to it. The
result justified his almost prophetic
foresight. Towns and villages sprang
into being along its right of way and
farms and ranches marked the prog
ress of the colonists. With the com.
pletion of the railroad and the coloni
zation of the lands adjoining it, Mr.
Hill began an educational campaign to
teach the farmers how to till their
land scientifically and how to make
the most of their agricultural oppor
tunities without unduly depicting the
fertility of the soil. The story of his
success in this and other ways has
been told so often that it need moi
be repeated here
Thus he gained the name of Empire
Builder" and laid the foundation, not
only of his own prosperity but, in large
measure, of the prosperity of the
Northwest. AS a railroad magnate
he was, perhaps, without peer in
the land as a student of economic
problems, he attracted the attention OF
the whole country; and as financieI
he was looked up to by the leaders

country but in Europe.

Minnesota, pronounced the last bless
ing in the chapel and at the cemetery.
The remains were laid at rest beside
those of her sister, Mother Scholastica.

Mother Alexia was born in st. Paul,
Mimi, on July %, 1856, Her parents
were among the first, if not the first,
German Catholic families to take up
their residence in st. Paul. about the
year 1852. Mr. Kerst took a govern

of Randolph Street and Smelling Ave.

dustrious farmer and model Catho-

and a boy. The girls walked from
their home to the, little convent school
conducted by the Sisters of ST. Joseph

ceived their early education. Later

brick, attractively finished and has
large porches on the second floor.
Extensive repairs, alterations and
furnishings will take place during the
summer, and the building will then,
no doubt, have capacity ample for
the present needs of the archdiocese
and for those of the near future.
The opening of this home brings
another religious order into the arch
diocese, since the Sisters of Bon
Secours from Baltimore, whose general
Motherhouse is in Paris, will have
charge of the home. Their special
work is the nursing of the sick in their
own homes, regardless of the nature
of the disease.

LETTER OF THE MOST REVEREND ARCHBISHOP

ent illustrious occupant, Benedict XIV,
has been able to win to himself among
the nations of the world! On all
sides the voice of Benedict lis hearken-
ed to with reverential respect. IL,
despite his repeated exhortations to
peace, war still desolates SO many
fair lands of Europe, it is none the
less true that. in significant instances,
he has been able to assuage the sor-
rows of the conflict, to extend over
many miseries the hand of mercy and
compassion, to awaken to livelier
action the principles of justice and
humanity that should, even in the
most exceptionable circumstances,
rule the thoughts and the doings of
peoples and of sovereigns. Seldom,
in the story of recent centuries has
the Papacy reached the heights of in
ternational splendor and benefcence
that present times are willing to ac-
cord to it. Much of all this, of course,
springs from the inherent spiritual
forces of the See of Peter, where
dwells in unbroken succession the
Princedom of the Incarnate God, the
Founder and abiding Guardian of the
Church: but to no small degree is it
the personal work of the Pontiff who
knows we'll how and when to set those
forces in motion, turning all things
to the greater glory of the Most High
and the greater welfare Of men and of
nations. All hail, to-day, to Benedict
XIV, our Pontiff, our Leader! 1t is our
privilege, our joy, to love him, to serve
him, to give of ourselves and of our
means in order that his labors be the
more efficient, his victories be the
more relucent of the sunshine Of the
Heavens sure as we are that what he
plans and acoomplishes tends to the
higher honor of God and to the richer
profit of religion and of humanity.
