death coming so soon after the
death OF his son Carl, makes it
doubly hard for the bereaved family.
They have the heartfelt sympathy
of the entire community.
William Winter was born in Lip
pe-Detmold, Germany Dec. 8, 1855,
and was brought. up in his native
country under Christian influence,
which helped him much to bear the
joys and sorrows of his later years.
On March 6, 1891 he married Emma
Ploeger. This happy union was
blessed with ten children of whom
one daughter died in infancy and
their son Carl who died at Camp
Dodge, was laid to rest only four
weeks ago today NOV. II, 1879
The rest of the children, four girls
and four boys are home and together
with their greatly bereaved mother
they mourn the early and seemingly
untimely death of their beloved hus-
band and father. Besides these he
leaves in this country an uncle, two
aunts, several cousins and many
friends. Other relatives he has a.
cross the sea. After holding some
positions OF responsibility In his
native country he came to America,
landing on our shores on April IL,
1903. The family settled first at
Ludlow, Ia, from thence removing
after few years to the neighbor-
hood of Burr Oak where he pure
chased farm and has since then
made his home. He was interested
in the welfare OF his community and
did his part to make it prosperous.
But was not only interested in the
temporal good of the land, but also
had its spiritual welfare at heart,
and was greatly interested in church
work. He was active as member
and as an officer in the Reformed
church at this place, and we hope
that his labors for the common good
Of the community were not in vain.
His health had not been good for
some time. On Thursday Nov q.
he was taken with influenza which
soon developed into pneumonia ard
quickly became so severe that he
gave up the hope for life. He suffer-
ed more or less from Saturday TO
Wednesday, Nov. Is, 1918 then
passed away at $3.50 a. m. at the age
of SO years, IL months and o days.
He was laid to rest on Sunday after
noon, Nov. IT, 1918 at the Burr Oak
cemetery.
May the Lord graciously comfort
| the bereayed family
This bereaved family wishes &
texpress it's sincere gratitude TO "a
/ who in one way or another haVs
shown or expressed their sympathy

MANY RECEIVE HABIT
CEREMONY OF INVESTITURE WAS
HELD BY BENEDICTINE
SISTERS.

On Monday, June II, the inspiring
spectacle of thirty-eight young WON
en- renouncing the world and being
clothed in the habit of the Sisters of
ST. Benedict, was witnessed at St.
Benedict's Convent, ST. Joseph, Mimi,
by an exceptionally large concourse of
relatives and friends of the young
ladies who were invested.
The ceremony began at 2:30 P. NJ,
when the young ladies, arrayed as
brides, entered the beautiful chapel,
and, after expressing their desire to
receive the habit, were presented with
the same by the Right Reverend Bish-
op Joseph F. Busch, after which the
Right Reverend Bishop delivered an
instructive address. The candidates,
being invested, had meanwhile ex-
changed their brides attire for the
habit of the Sisters of st. Benedict,
and upon their return to the chapel
the ceremony was concluded with
Benediction Of the Blessed Sacrament.
Assisting in the sanctuary were the
Right Reverend Abbots, Peter Engel,
o. S. B., and Placidus Hosnerbach,
o. S. b., and large number of priests.

A Sonnet for June

o sweetest Heart of Jesus; to Thy
shrine
In this dear month of June, Thy
saints have brought
Their offerings of word and deed
and thought,
Like fairest blossoms blown in fields
divine,
The bIood-red roses of charity
Whose seed was gathered from Thy
open side;
The lilies of surprising purity,
Amid whose petals Thou dost pleased
abide.
All! woe is me, I cannot choose but
hide
My blushing face, for | have nought
for Thee
Save these poor violets, these tender
eyed
And dropping blossoms of humility;
All wet with tears they bloom for
Thee alone,
All. make the giver and the gift Thine

bother about what Christ might have
done and could have done, when we
know that He actually did command:
unless a man be born of water and
the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter the
kingdom of Heaven?" In reality.
Christ manifested His wisdom in so
decreeing: for we are composed of

is sign of cleansing, and baptism
cleanses the soul from the stain of

Why is it that murderer can be
forgiven when man married to a
divorced woman cannot?
A murderer can be forgiven be-
cause he can repent. A Catholic liv-
ing with a divorced woman cannot be
forgiven because he cannot repent as
long as the parties continue to live
together. To get pardon for sin
one must not only regret the sin, but
he must give it up.

CATHOLICS OF ITALY
PLAY NOBLE PART IN PATRIOTIC
PROPAGANDA - WIN PRAISE
EVEN FROM JOURNALS NOT IN
SPIRED BY CATHOLIC IDEALS.

Even the journals which are not in
spired by Catholic ideals have moth
ing but praise for the part Catholics
are playing in the patriotic propa-
ganda at present organized in Italy,
particularly in connection with the new
lean The Catholic societies have i'm
pressed upon their members by cir
cular and meeting the necessity of
subscribing to the uttermost farthing,
and the parish priests have entered
heartily into the work and are in
many instances themselves receiving,
for transmission to the banks, the
subscriptions of the peasantry. The
Archbishop of Genoa has in pas
toral letter, full of patriotic senti-
ment, recommended the propaganda
of the loan and a subscription accord
ing to the limit of their means to all.
The shortage of paper and the diff
ficulties of printing render a viva
voce campaign of persuasion all the
more necessary, and in several do
ceses the priests have been hidden
by their Ordinary to speak and eX-
hort their parishioners to subscribe
to the loan. .se
The Catholic associations have
taken the initiative in an active
propaganda and are sending around
representatives to the various COM
munes, who carry information regard
ing the loan from door to door. The
Catholic Minister of Finance, Signor
Media, is very much pleased with the
success If this Catholic campaign.

PURCHASING MASS WINE
DIFFICULTIES IN DRY STATES
OPINIONS OF ATTORNEYS-GEN-
ERAL OF NORTH DAKOTA AND
IOWA-MATTER PENDING IN
SOUTH DkOTA.

Considerable difficulty has been eX-
Mass wine in various states where
prohibition has gone into effect. The
E. M. Lohmann Company of ST. Paul
has taken up the matter with the
various state authorities. We here
with present official opinions from
Iowa and North Dakota. AS regards
South Dakota the matter is still pend
ing. .-...
A letter from the office of the At
torney-General of Iowa says:
Wine for sacramento PURPOSES
may not lawfully be shipped directly
to the consumer or persons admin
istering the same, and can only law
fully be purchased from a registered
pharmacist within this state holding
a permit tos buy, keep and sell the
same under section 1885 of the code. -
In an opinion sent by William Ian
ger, Acknowledgement for North Da-
kota, the matter is thus explained for
that state: =,
1T is entirely proper and legal to
have the registered pharmacist send
for the wine for sacramento purposes
and have the railroad companies carry
the same into the state of North Da-
kota, and that the registered phar-
macist when he signs the affidavit at
the depot can endorse thereon what
minister it is delivered to, and by
turning over the original package to
the minister the law is not violated.
Both the federal and state law pro-
vides that liquor can be brought in for
sacramental, mechanical, experimental
and medical purposes, and the state
law provides that it must come
through a unregistered pharmacist. 1t
is my opinion that the pharmacist
does not need to hold permit"
In previous letter Attorney-Gen-
eral LANCER said:
You will note it is not necessary
to furnish any blanks to druggists
All that is necessary to do is to fur.
nish each depot agent with the blanks
and the druggists have only to go to
the depot agent and sign up at the
time that they get the Mass wine

the wine is for personal use.

Fine Arts.

Not less admirable has been the

Tomas in the Normal Arts Depart
ment have specialized in the domain
of Art. Art surrounds human exist
ence with an atmosphere of charm and
dignity. Undeniable is it's value to
nation Not her heroes but art made
Greece immortal. Not the Duke of
Wellington but Shakespeare is the
glory of England. Dante, Michael An
gelo, Rafael, Palestrina and countless
others have made Italy the native
land of the fine Arts-the home by ex-
cellence of mans expressions of the
beautiful.
Christianity encouraged art from the
beginning. No other institution has
ever fostered art like the Catholic
Church She has been it's highest in
SEPARATION and most generous patron.
She turned Europe into a vast studio

and musicians and poets and orators
and artisans such as the world had
never seen. Her promotion of the fine
arts is one of the most wonderful
achievements in all history-a fact for
which mankind owes a debt of deep
est gratitude. The Church and Art
have always worked together for hui
man refinement, enlightenment and
betterment. They were together in
the catacombs of Rome when Chris
tian Art was in it's cradle. They were
together throughout those long and
glorious centuries known as the Mid

produced which have since been the

genius. And still today they are to-

WASHINGTON POST MADE TO RE-
TRACT STATEMENTS AGAINST

AGAINST FUTURE REPETITION.

The Washington Post recently pub

ments were quoted as follows: "The
policy of the Roman Church is hostile
to civil and religious liberty and
the, statecraft of the Vatican is
persistent encroacher. and an indus
trious fomenter of dfscord."
Rev. Paul r. COMMIT, S. P, rector
of st. Aloysius Church, Washington,
wrote to the editor of the Post, re-
monstrating with him for publishing
such statements. The Post printed his
letter and attempted a defense on the
score of news.
A committee consisting OF q repre-

entirely unsatisfactory. and asking for
