RELICS OF ST. REMY
FRENCH OFFICERS SAVE RELICS
OF ST. REMIGlUS-RISK
LIFE IN ATTEMPT.

The casket containing the bones of
st. Remigius, patron saint of Reims
has just been saved from destruction
by fire as the result Of the German
bombardment of the city. The bones
of st. Remigius, who baptized Clovis
and after whom Reims took her name,
were inclosed in the casket, which
had lain for centuries in the Church
of st. Remy. After the Cathedral at
ReimS, which has shrined many of
the greatest events in French history,
the Church of st. Remy was the most
famous spot in the martyr city. 1t
was a masterpiece of French religious
art of the thirteenth century. Today
the Church of st. Remy is nothing but
a heap of blackened ruins.
The bombardment was at it's height
when three French officers who were
passing through the streets suddenly
noticed that the church was on fire.
One of them instantly thought of the
casket containing st. Remigius' bones,
the most precious religious relics, per-
haps, in all France.
In spite of the danger from falling
timbers, they penetrated the church
and reached the crypt. Here they
found the casket containing the relics,
which is an elaborately gilded struc-
ture in the form of a model of a cathe-
dral, buried under the debris, but still
unharmed
BY herculean effort the officers sue
ceeded in lifting the casket on their
shoulders and conveyed it to the road
way in front of the church. Subse-
quently it was placed on a military
wagon and taken to Chalons, where it
was handed over to the custody of the
Bishop of that See.

Fathers of the Resurrection, has been
brought to st. Louis by the war.
Their coming is for the purpose of

this Order, have been transferred for
their studies to st. Louis University.

the Resurrection has been in Rome.
Members in the United States number
only 81 Fathers, 20 Brothers and 3
novices. The delegate headquarters

established in the Louisville (KyD
Diocese, where they conduct st. Mary
College. This is their first entrance
into the Archdiocese of st. Louis
