The Conscript, or What Matters?
O. w. Webster In the Christian Register

BONDS of affection tie to my home;
 - How firmly have learned since has come. Great is fondness for such things these. The rooms where in the dark need not grope Endeared by joy, by sorrow and by hope l did not know house could be dear Until the coming of this fateful year. And then my loved ones: how to speak of them? My setting my family the gem. Now war has come and they have summoned me To do my bit beyond the dangerous sea. So must leave my home and lay aside The day dreams of m hours of and pride.
 Twill hurt: the roots go deep that bind me here. Life without home dismal, blank and drear. And yet, what matters 1t if I must go? If may fight the of all this woe, If may fight the wrong help the right, If 1 may war war;. then let fight. Perhaps they'll tear my body limb from limb. Perhaps they'll smite my eyes and make them dtA. Perhaps they Il, leave me wounded the field In sight of foes and from my friends concealed. Perhaps I have strength brunt, And they will lead me. maddened, from the front, My reason gone, to wear away my life Seeing each day those self same scenes of strife. What does it matter, if while I battle gainst the fortresses wrong? What matter if I never laugh again, If but help to leave the world more sane? Perhaps sense of right and wrong will fail When caught beneath that iron hail. So that mock at God, give way to hate, Or quail before the soldiers common fate Perhaps when by wars earthquakes I jared My soul will shriveI and hard. What does it matter? It better Then be a stacker when I ought go. I'd rather start alright, cen though I swerve Than hold myself too cheap to try to Perhaps they'll tell me that I am not fit To do the soldiers rougher, manler bit And will leave Choring away at Httles just the As though the fate of men unborn hung not On submarine and daring airman's plot. What does it matter, if I do not shirl1, But do my best at my humble work? What does it matter what my task may be, give the uttermoSt me?

sufficient light for almost any build

window in some way represents each
member of the parish and they stand
as a constant reminder, worthy
monument, which will remain long
after the givers have passed beyond.
Of course, the altar is the great
feature of the church, as it should be
One can see at a glance that the ut
most care and effort las heen ex-
pended. It rises in majestic witness
to the very roof of the building, a
shining emblem to the One in whose
name it is erected. It is almost severe
in it's simplicity, which makes it the
more beautiful. Aside from the
three statues, the only other color,
save for the contrasting gold Of the
tabernacle, is that of the paneled
carving of The Last Supper, set in the
base. The altar is of marble finish
as are each of the side affairs. Us
cost is estimated at $1,000, while the
other two are valued at $3.50 each.
The large altar is to be paid for "
free will offerings taken the last Sun
day of each month for that purpose,
Father Buscher conceived this idea,
arguing that in this way, each one
could give as much as he wished,
that no one would know who gave the
most and that when all was paid for,
each parishioner would feel that the
possibility of possessing such an altar,
was due as much to him as any one
else. Perhaps this same idea incorpor-
ated throughout the entire work of
building the church has been the
reason why it has gone forward with
such interest and enthusiasm. The
people feel that it is their personal
church and not one given by some

The St. Alexius Catholic church at
West Union caught fire during SER
vices on bitter cold morning, Feb.
IL, 1917, and was completely destroy
ed.
For a time services were held in
the Town Hall. The fire of the old
structure was still smouldering, how
ever, when the parishioners with in
dominitable energy began to devise
ways and means of erecting a new
place of worship. Work was started
on the new church in June and it
progressed so favorably that services
were held in the basement of the
new edifice the first Sunday of Sep
TENDER, this year.
Rev. ]. M. Buschcr. the present
pastor, formerly located at Maple
Lake, took. charge of st. Alexius
parish early in May, and with his
coming, work on the new church
began to take active and definite
shape. The erection of the new
church was directly under the super
vision of Rev. Buscher, H. J. Bent
field, secretary of the parish, Nick
Eltgroth, treasurer and a building
committee consisting of c., A. Mar
thaler, Ben Deters, J. P. Didier, Con-
rad Beste, Ben Walter and ]. M.
Miller.
Leo Schaefer of St. Cloud prepa, ed
the plans and specifications of the new
church. The general effect is colonial;
the material is wood. The site is a
little northwest of the old church, on
a high plot of ground and car be
seen for a number of mics. Sterkling
& Schintiz of st. Cloud had the gen.
eral contract, while Schaefer 4
Brentner of Albany installed the two
large hot air furnaces furnishing the
heat for the entire building. For
man, Ford & Co., of Minneapolis, fur
,enished the beautiful memorial wind
ows, while the St. Paul Statuary
company had the contract for the al
tar and communion rail. The solid
oak seats were furnished by Harkner
& Co., of La Crosse, Wis.
The loss to the congregation on the
old church was about $4,000, from
which they collected $3,40O insurance.
The new structure will cost complete
fully $4,000. At the present time

Entrance to the basement can be
made either directly from the outside
or by going into the church proper.
This room is exceptionally large and
since the first Sunday in September
up to the time of dedication has been
used as the place of worship. The
altar, which had been donated by Mr..
Cans, deceased, and about the only
article of value save the pews which
had been saved from fire, is used here.
The basement is built for church sup
pers and amusements. 1t affords UNI
usual dining room space, a platform
is to be erected for plays and other
entertainments and it is expected that
it will be means of drawing the
young people closer to the church. A

was erected with the big idea of amply
serving the parish's needs for many
years to come. The new building is
42x96 outside, with l8 foot posts and
a 10 foot basement under all.
AS one enters the church and
pauses at the top of the broad steps
for first general view, the impress
sion is that of cheerfulness. The
chief reason for this is on account of
the many windows and the white
affairs. When asked how the building
was to be lighted, Mr.. Bentfield
answered with pride, Chiefly by ou'
windows" He could we'll say it and
well be proud to say it. There are
an unusual number of windows for
such a church, but they are arts
tically arranged and in no way force
themselves upon ones mind. They

is also white with solid Georgia

The body of the church is strictly
mission style, with an arched ceiling
measuring % feet to it's center. The
sides are arched, upheld by pillars
in light oak finish. The floor is of
hard maple, natural finish. Comfort
able pews seating about 800 people
are placed on either side of the wide
