MISSION NOTES

The holy mission at St. Joseph's
Cacholic Church was solemnly closed
last Sunday evening after the usual
evening meditations. The Te Deum
was chanted by the whole coagrega-
ton and thanks rendered to the Most
High for the many graces bestowed
during the two weeks of the mission.
On Monday morning at $50 a sol
emn requiem was chanted for the
repose of the souls of all the depart
ed of st. Joseph's church and short
German and English sermons on pur-
gatory was delivered by one of the
missionary fathers.
The largest audience during the
mission filled the church last Sunday
evening. Every member of the con-
gregation and a large number of non
catholics filed the church and listened
to the stirring words of the Reverend
preacher
As an appreciation of the great
work of the good missionary fathers
the members of the congregation con-
tributed most literally to a fund
which the fathers will use IN their col
lege for the education of young men
to the priesthood.
Now that the mission has closed
the Catholics who attended the same
should show by their example that
they have proftted by the two weeks
of spiritual exercises by so conduct
ing themselves as to give no scandal
by their manner of life, but be an
example and an authorization to all
with whom they come in contact.
The missionary fathers, after abid-
ing with US on Monday and resting
after their most arduous labors, de-
parted for the east on Tuesday morn
ing The good wishes of all, who
heard them accompanies them

He watched them maturing with much
satisfaction. A couple of weeks ago

have the opportunity of making the
selections form the flock himself.
