Boys Orphan Home: A United
States flag was presented to the
home on Thursday, May %, and
raised in connection with the dedi-
cation of the service flag of the in
stitution. The Admiral Farragut
| Circle of the Ladies' Auxiliary, G. A
R., presented the flag on behalf of
Mr.. Malcolm Higgins. Mrs. Thomas
| Donald made the presentation ad-
| dress, to which a response was made
by the chaplain of the home, Rever-
end Joseph Weber, who, on behalf of
| the orphans and Sisters, accepted
| the beautiful banner. Mrs. Sarah E.
| Mathews, department president of
| the Ladies' Auxiliary, and Mr.. Long
| fellow, veteran of the Civil War, also
| delivered addresses. Thirty-two
stars on the flag are cause of just
pride for the Sisters and their
charges yet that number represents
only the number of graduates known
| to have enlisted when the flag was
ordered. Seven others have been
/ heard from since then, and new
names are added to the roll of honor
every week. The ceremonies were
concluded with Benediction of the
Blessed Sacrament in the chapel of
the home. A generous act of kind
mess, which cost considerable per-
sonal sacrifice, was that of the bar
bers of the city, who recently came
out to the home, after their days
toll, and worked for several hours
/ cutting hair for the boys. The lit
tie fellows were all anxious to honor
Memorial day with their finest ap-
pearance, and when the generous
BARRIERS departed about midnight
they left behind them 146 grateful
boys. The First Communion class,
numbering sixty, received at the sew
en- o'clock Mass last Sunday. Thirty
of the boys were confirmed recently
by Right Reverend Bishop Trobec at
the Cathedral.

: ebrated in St. Mary's cemeuery for
! the soldier dead Thursday morning

Church of ST. Bridget: The mission
given by the Paulist Fathers closed
last Sunday evening after wonder
fully successful week. The church
/ seemed to be filed with people all the
: time, but the Mission Masses at 5: sc
e and 7:30 each morning, as well as the
: evening exercises, brought crowds
s that taxed the capacity of the new
S church to its utmost. The children's
S mission, given at o'clock each after
). noon, brought the little ones together
e in greater numbers than ever before
Seven hundred confessions were hearC
during the week-a splendid result fo
:, the parish so recently organized. TIL,
II exercises were conducted by Reverend
y e. J. Mullaly, C. S. P, and Reverend
n J. B. Harvey, C. S. p, both of ST
e Mary's Church, Chicago. The pastor
5. Reverend James Donahoe, is highl.
k gratifed at the results of the week
e mission, and is convinced that tn
IS spiritual fervor awakened will be pei
manently reflected even in the variou
IS elements of parish life. The Youn
N Ladies' Sodality was organized wit
a. a large membership and an enthus
asm which bespeaks a rapid growth
