phin, education in the true sense Of
the words, means not merely the stor-

also, and especially, the implanting of
religious principles in the soul; not

Church the acquisition of knowledge

directed three questions to the gradu-

What are you going to do after you
leave st. GATHERINGS? The love of

CHURCH DEDICATION
CHURCH OF ST. JOHN THE BAP.
TlsT, ARDocH, N. D., is CREDI-
TABLE BOTH TO PASTOR AND
PEOPLE.
(Communicated.)

The newly constructed church at
Ardoch, N. D., of which Father Max
we'll is pastor, was formally dedicated
on Thursday, 8th of June, by the Rt.
Rev. James O'Reilly, Bishop of Fargo.
The old Catholic church at Ardoch
was burned on New Years day of
1915. Although the people felt it's loss
very keenly; although they were quite
disconsolate and grieved to have one
of the first churches built in N. D.,
consumed by fire before their eyes;
yet they lost no time in betaking them
selves with united effort to again re-
place that which was removed from
them, by erecting a house to the honor
of God, in which they can always take
pardonable pride, that will perpetuate
their names to generations, that will
come after them for their generosity
and self-sacrificing spirit; and will al
ways remain as fitting monument to
their memory when they have passed
to their reward.
The dedication ceremony was quite
impressive and productive of much
spiritual good. The ceremonial being
over, Solemn High Mass in presence
of the Bishop was celebrated The
celebrant was Father Maxwell, the pas
tor; deacon, Rev. A. Driscoll of st.
Mary's, Grand Forks; subdeacon, Faith
er Mulloy, Grafton (newly-ordained /;
master of ceremonies, Father Majer,
Mimic, and the Bishop was attended by
Fathers McCardle of Langdon, and
Forbes of lakewood.
After reading the Gospel Bishop
O'Reilly spoke briefly-but quite sin.
cerely, words of warm congratulations
to the pastor and people. He paid a
very nice tribute of praise to both for
the beautiful church they had built in
so short time, and for the architec
tural taste displayed in the entire
work. He said he expected something
grand to see, from what he had heard
of Ardoch church,-yet he was by nc
means prepared for such a beautiful
modern edifice as he witnessed.

INDIANH'S CENTENNIAL
THE PART WHICH CATHOLICS
PLAYED IN THE EXPLORATION
AND SETTLEMENT OF THE
STATE.

The centennial of Indiana was OBJ
served with special ceremony and a
grand pageant at Evansville, Ind, says
the Indiana Catholic The scene
showed first the Indians in their
savage state. But they are not to
remain savage, not even in the fast
ness of their sylvan wilderness. From
out of the east, as out of the dawn
of newly risen sun, come the true
harbingers of light, the black-robed,
pious Jesuits. Fearlessly they come
into the village and preach Christ's
Gospel, and the fire of civilization,
which has smouldered for aeons.
flares up. With the raising of the
cross and the building of the first
altar of crude stones beneath a dome
of lustrous stars the flames leap high,
as the hearts of the savages are
kindled up by the warmth of the doc
trine of Christianity. The conversion
of the chief and his tribe by two mis-
sionaries was declared the most
inspiring scene of the many tableaux
of the pageant.
This episode, as well as the one
depicting the advent of the French
hunters and trappers, with a brief
scene showing the first marriage in
the State, that of an Indian girl and
a French-C Canadian trapper, was staged
by the Knights of Columbus, more
than one hundred taking part The
''Te Deum' was sung at the close,
when the blessing was given by the
parish priest of Vincennes.
The episode depicting the CONVEX
sion of the Indians by the Jesuit
Fathers; the scene showing the first
marriage in the State at Vincennes

SAINT CLARA COLLEGE.

Joyce Kilmer, poet, critic, literary
editor of the New York Times, lee.
tured Saturday evening, June 10, at
Saint Clara College, Sinsinawa, Wis,
on SWinburne and Francis Thompson.
The comparison of the two poets, so
unlike in character, in temperament
in spirit, and in religious belief, was
thoughtfully developed.
BY special request, Mr.. Kilmer read
at the close of the lecture, from his
own poems. A vivid enthusiasm for
beauty in common things makes his
poetry not the esoteric expression OF
ideal or exceptional experience, but
the artistic retelling of the story OF
everyday homely life. There is in
it delicate, but genuine, revelation
of spiritual fervor, telling glimpse

Is Catholic free to contribute to

The Protestant religion is of course
a form of heresy. To assist knowing
ly in the spread of error against the
faith is grave sin. Since the
Protestant Church is directly intend
ed for this purpose, Catholic may
not with good conscience assist
directly in its construction. 1t is
possible that this course might place
one, for example, a Catholic merchant,
in a rather embarrassing situation.
He wants the good will, as far as
possible, of all the community. He
has, perhaps personally, solicited
money from non-Catholics to build a
Catholic Church. Protestants and
other non-Catholics will not readily

who found himself in these circum

ILLUMINATED SKY
A SUNDAY evening SIGHT

The northern sky last night hared
with brilliant red glow for fifteen
or twenty minutes and caused alarm
among the people Of Wilmington and
other cities in this section OF the
country. The. glow appeared a little
before s o'clock and after lasting
about quarter OF an hour gradually
faded away.
The weather bureaus explanation
Of the phenomenon was that a hazy
atmosphere and unusually low hang
ing clouds reflected the lights OF
Philadelphia and Camden and the
blast furnaces along the Schuylkil.
river and in the New Jersey towns.
Professor Eric Doolittle, in charge
OF the Flower Observatory OF the
University of Pennsylvania, in Phila-
delphia. gave a similar explanation.
other people think that the light in
the sky was a reflection of the fire
in northern Ontario. Canada. where
four towns were wiped out by bush
fires. While the glow was brightest,
the humidity was quite high, showing
a particularly moist atmosphere.
