MONSlGNOR WURST HAS MADE
DISTINCT RECORD IN WABAsHA
HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED WITH
CIVIC, SOCIAL AND INTELLECT
UAL IMPROVEMENT OF CITY.

On Thursday, October 4, Right Rev
erend Monsignor Max Wurst, pastor
of st. Felix Church, Wabasha, Mime
sofa, completed thirty years residence
in the parish. On that day the Wab-
asha Herald contained the following
appreciation:
Thirty years ago today there ar
rived at Wabasha a man who was des-
tined to become intimately associated
with the history of the community, a
man who became leader in the relig-
ions, moral, intellectual and social up
lift of the city, a man whose work will
leave it's impress on the community
life, Right Reverend Monsignor Max
Wurst, pastor of ST. Felix Church.
Though a member of the papal
household now, with the rank of Mon
signor, he is Father" Wurst to the
people of Wabasha and the surround
ing country He knows them as few
others know them. He knows them to
love them, to give all his time and
thought and energy to their welfare,
material as we'll as spiritual, and his
love and devotion are reciprocated.
Father Wurst has seen the children of
his parish grow to manhood and wom-
anhood. He has united in holy we'd
lock many whom he has ushered into
the church, as infants, at the baptis-
NAL font. He has ministered at the
bedside of the sick and the dying,

women said to be among the finest
agriculturists in the world. Steady
progress is being made, though great
difficulties are encountered always in
the work of transplanting them. From
Oregon comes the report that in No
vember $50 Belgian families will come
from Holland to settle in the apple
orchard land, and another arrange
ment is being concluded for second
and larger immigration. Tracts total
ing more than 10000 acres have been
secured upon an old Indian reserya>
ton, upon which orchards, dairies and
stockraising farms are to be located.
Already community center has been
plotted, the land is to be divided into
90 and 60-acre allotments and the
purchasers are to be given So years
in which to repay loans made for their
encouragement.
1t would be well if similar induce
ments could be held out to the skilled
and artistic industrial workers who
have made Belgian products famous
the world around In steel, glass and
loom products these indefatigable
people form distinctive class, being
as unconquerable in industry as Caesar
and the Romans found them in war
centuries ago, and as the Teutons are
finding them today. Their tenacity
to tasks assumed and their admixture
of art with toll would constitute an
admirable leaven. in the blood of
American production. Every ship
that carries across it's legion OF
Americans in khaki should bring
back a thousand of these wonderful
people, whose merit above many OF
those immigrants of recent years is
transcendant.

DIA-LEcTURE REPLETE WITH
HuMoR AND ANEcDoTE, MIN
GLED WITH SORROW.

On Thursday evening, October IL,
there gathered in the Pro-Cathedral
School Hall one of the most enthusi-
astic audiences of the year The sub
ject of Foreign Missions is not one
that has been wont in the past to at
tract our Catholic people very spe-
eially; but on this occasion, what with
the recent Pastorals of the Most Rev
erend Archbishop on that subject, and
the successful efforts of the Propaga-
ton of the Faith workers during the
past year, and the pressing invitations
launched last Sunday from the Min
neapolis pulpits, and the reputation of
the speaker himself, there was indeed
every reason to anticipate that the
hall would be filled to overlooking.
Those who had braced themselves
to spend a 1ugubrious evening as a
matter Of penance In the -begone
company of a broken-down soldier
from the frontiers Of heathendom
must have walked up with an agree
able start at the contact of the true
Mission spirit. For. as the lecturer
/ Rev. Thomas Gavan Duffy, early ex
planned, light heart and a sense Of
humor are essentials to the lonely life
Of the Missions; and SO throughout

soothed many an aching brow, pre-
pared many with the comforts of re-
ligion for the journey through the Val
ley of the Shadow.
The boys and girls have always
been close to his heart Their relig-
ious training, their education, their
welfare and their success have been
the objects of his solicitous thought
and care He has cheered the broken
heart of many man and woman, has
helped them over many rough spot
in life. His whole life has been filled
with deeds of Christian charity, with
service to his fellowmen. Father
Wurst has won the esteem, the re-
spect and the admiration of the peo-
pie of Wabasha and surrounding coun-
try, and the record of his life and la
bors here fills an honored chapter in
the history of ST. Felix parish and the
city of Wabasha.
A parish free from debt, handsome
church edifice with beautiful affairs,
electric pipe organ and all other fur
nishings, free parochial high school
which offers exceptional educational
advantages, a comfortable Sisters res
idence, the establishment of st. Eliz-
abeth's hospital and of st. Joseph's or
phanage, a number of strong, active
church societies are numbered among
the achievements that stand as monu-
ments to his zeal, the devotion, the
unceasing toll and the ability of Fa-
Their Wurst during the thirty years
of his pastorate at st. Felix. The three
decades of his work here represent a
record of signal achievements as pas
in Wabasha.

DUBUQUE COLLEGE

Dubuque College gave a splendid re-
Spouse to the invitation of the Depart
ment of Public instruction to observe
Friday, October 5, as Iowa Day. At
nine o'clock the student body assem-
bled in the auditorium, where the pro-
gram was opened by the College Mill

and Clifford Mcdonald paid a tribute
to Columbus.
Monsignor German, the college rec
tor, read a bulletin from the War De-
partment wherein it was stated that
Dubuque College was designated as
one of the fourteen educational insti-
GERS of the United States army will
be developed in the future. This an
nouncement was greeted with ap-
plause and later emphasized on the
Loras campus when the eleven compa-
MES of militia gave competitive drill.
Each was given eight minutes in which
to display the knowledge of military
science and tactics acquired in the four
weeks since the opening of school.
The captains, who had received their
commissions last year, put their men
through many maneuvers, and when
time was called the judges an
nounced that the laurels had been won
by Company, of the senior division,
and Company H of the Junior. This
will entitle the winning companies to
the use of arms in their drill work, a
privilege of which they are. pardon
ably proud.
In the afternoon the athletic season
was officially opened by a football
game with the Wisconsin Normal.
Although the Dubuque eleven was
handicapped by the absence of several
of their test men, they succeeded in
scoring $50 victory.

CATION that will become fiourishing
and self-supporting in the near future.
AS deem the building up OF the clergy
one of the most important works of
my episcopate, it is my constant aim
to enrich my diocese with numerous
and efficient clergy in order that souls
may not perish from spiritual starva-
ton. The response to my appeal for
laborers here at ST. Mary's and in
other seminaries year ago was most
generous. Nineteen priests have been
added to my clergy since then. The
advent of so many young energetic
workers naturally ushered in an excep-
tional era of building. The fruits of
this awakening are the thirty-six
churches, the fifteen pastoral resi-
dences and the two parochial schools
which have been under construction
during the past twelve months The
fact that 80 per cent of the buildings
will be out of debt when completed at
tests the spirit of generosity and will
ingness to do for the glory of the
Church animating Catholics who live
in small settlements. Theirs is lack,
not so much of means, as of initiative.
They have passed my most sanguine
expectations.

priests the Bishop said

A Generous Congregation
MEMBERS OF ST. EDWARDS CON-
GREGATION IN MI MlNNEOTA,
MIMI, RAISE $4,000 IN TWENTY
MINUTES TO PAY i CHURCH
DEBT.

On Sunday, September 30, the mem
Minneota, Mimi, gave an example of
generosity, worthy of imitation. The
pastor, Rev. w. ]. Stewart, announced
that he considered it time that the
debt now resting on the church be
liquidated The Indebtedness amount
ed to $4,000. In twenty minutes the
parishioners subscribed the sum OF
$4,000, an amount sufficient to wipe
out the debt. leaving a balance OF
$4,000 on hand to finish and furnish
the parish hall.
In 1907, Father Stewart started a
parish fund for new church. He
asked that each adult parishioner
would contribute the sum of twenty
five cents per month, or three dollars
a year. The congregation agreed and
collectors were Immediately appoint
ed. In 1910, a very good local crop
brought forth generous response
towards this building fund which then
amounted to about $4,000. An indi
vidual appeal on the part of the pas
tor brought in about $4,000. In 1912
there was another bumper crop and
the people again showed their gener
osity. The result of this special col
lection, together with the money in
the bank and the three dollar sub
scriptions, gave a total of $24,500
Plans were then drawn for a new
church by the late E. L. Masqueray
and the contract was let for church
to cost $4,000. This church is built
on a block of land on the finest site
of the village. The property was do
mated by Mr.. John O'Connor.
The cornerstone of the new edifice
was blessed by Monsignor Guillot OF
July 8, 1913. The first mass was sale
in the church February s, 1914, and i
was dedicated by the Most Reverend
Archbishop on October IL, 1914. II

THE WINONA PLAN
WORK FOR THE COMING YEAR
REORGANIZATION OF THE
HIGH SCHOOL COURSE.

The course of studies on which q
commission has been at work for the
past year was printed and placed in
hands of the teachers in the schools
of the diocese of Winona at the open
ing of school. A year ago at the In
stltute held for the teachers in the
diocese, Bishop Hebron appointed a
commission to have charge of school
affairs, and the first work undertaken
was the course of studies for the
grades of the schools This course OF
studies is completed and is now adopt
ed as the authorized course of stu
dies in all of the schools in the diol
cese. An institute was held in Au-
gust, at the close of the summer
school, at the College of ST. Teresa.
The commission was continued, and
the work assigned was to study and
adapt the course of studies to the To-
cal conditions of the different schools
in which it is adopted The selection
of textbooks has been deferred and
will finally be settled on the basis of
the course of studies.
In the near future the commission
will take up the work of framing a
course of studies for high schools.
School administrator, methods of
teaching, examinations and the reports
of the school superintendent are sub
jects which the commission will be-
gin to study at once. The commission
will also prepare a uniform set of rec
ords for the schools. Accompanying
the course of studies there is also a
music course and course in Christian
Doctrine prepared by Rev. J. A. Cum
miskey.

ST. Cloud: The Right Reverend JOS
eph F. Busch was chosen vice.presi-
dent at the annual meeting of the State
Conference of Charities and Correc-
lions which was held at Owatonna last
week. Ever since the st. Cloud In
stitute has been built invitations
are pouring in asking the Bishop to
attend and to speak at various con-
ventions and meetings which are being
held in different sections of the coun-
try. There is a reason. The st.
Cloud Institute stands for initiative
and success.
A reception was given at the st.
Cloud Institute Friday evening in hon
or of the Right Reverend Joseph f.
Busch, the faculty and students of the
State Normal, the teachers of the city
schools and the nurses of st. Raphaels
hospital. The reception was held by
the Young Women's League who ac-
quilted themselves of their task very
creditably. Afterwards a beautiful pro-
gram was given in the auditorium.
Bishop Busch addressed few words

hope that the reception given would
help to bring the young people of the
city closer together and foster a lively
spirit of cooperation, in all undertake
ings for the common welfare

Right Reverend Bishop blessed the
beautiful stations which adorn the
pathway leading from the church to

classed among the most artistic which
| can be found far and wide. The Bishop
preached a sermon in which he called
| attention to the fact that the saying
of the stations must not remain mere
! routine work, but that the spirit that
pervades the Way of the Cross must
also find its way into the life of the
devout Catholic. His life must be in
harmony with that of the Saviour. II
must be life of sacrifice and self
| denial.
