OF
NEW CATHOLIC
CHURCH

Sunday, September 20, 1918, was
a great and glorious day for La
combe, in fact it's halcyon day, for
all the faithful and devoted Cath0-
lies. Even religious Bonfouca had
cast aside and forgotten the turmoils,
vicissitudes and tribulations of every
day life to pay homage to our dis
tinguished visitor, the Most Reverend
Archbishop Shaw, whose mission was
to dedicate our new church and con-
firm the children of St. Tammany
parish. His Grace, accompanied by
the Right Rev. Abbot Paul, o. S. b.,
arrived here at $3.50 a. m. Mr.. and
Mrs. l.. J. Cousin, one of our most
prominent Pensioners, whose beau
tifnl residence is next to the church,
had the honor to receive the dis
tinguished visitor, while awaiting the
church ceremonies.
His presence in our midst was
source of great jubialtion and in
spiratien. We were all happy to
greet with religious fervor one Of
the great dignitaries of our church.
It may be we'll to recall some inct-
dents preceding the erection of the
church.
Some years back, Sept. %, 1918,
this section was visited by a terrific
storm which demolished everything
except the statue of the Sacred Heart
which by a miraculous Intervention
stood erect amidst the ruins, bearing
not so much as a scratch. This
singular coincidence Quickened our
faith and with new couarge we un-
dertook to accomplish task which,
at first, seemed impossible.
Our Jealous Father Francis Balay,
o. s. B., like a good shepherd. as
sumed the leadership of his loyal
flock and the result is the beautiful
little church and new school.
Very Rev. Canon l.. Laurens, dis
tinguished architect, OF Mende: Lo-
zen, France, and missionary, donated
to his intimate friend, Father Francis
Balay, o. S. B., the plans of the
church.
This Sunday His Grace was wit
ness of Father Balay's success.
There was our beautiful church,
nestled, like a jewel, in the center of
majestic oaks, the cynOsure of all
travellers on the train, as we'll as
those on. the boats that ply on the
bosom of picturesque Bayou La
combe. To-day His Grace blessed
and consecrated to God the fruit of
our labors, the new church, under the
patronage of the Sacred Heart. His
Grace, accompanied by the clergy
and people, formed long process
sion which proceeded to the entrance
of the church where Mr.. Max Cousin
addressed a few words of welcome.
After the blessing of the church Rev.
Balay began mass during which q
we'll trained choir discoursed appro-
pirate and beautiful music. At the
end of the mass His Grace spoke elo-
quently of the various doctrines of
the church, especially dilating on the
sacrament OF confirmation which he
administered to large class. The
ceremonies being over the Arch
bishop. in company with Rigt Rev.
Abbot Paul, Rev. Francis Balay, Rev.
Martin Barre, Rev. Alphonse, and
severa lguests, went to partake OF
repast that showed the culinary art
of the host and was in keeping with
the solemn occasion. The dinner
was prepared by Mrs. L. ]. Cousin.
The table was profusely decorated
and the dining room a veritable gar
den of flowers.
In fluent French, Rev Francis Ba-
lay thanked the Archbishop for bless

DR.. Sevy Tells Of Progress
That Has Been Made
In st. Tammany.
PARISH SPECIALLY FIT
FOR STOCKRAISING
Cost To Parish For Tick
Eradication Thus Far
is $24,197.24.

The past season has proven to the
world that Louisiana is one of the
leading cattle raising states Of the
South. She has total of ,1O7-ASO
head of cattle, instead OF J02 900,
which she advertised to the world
that she possessed prior to the ad-
vent of the tick eradication last
April. A total increase o. 2O9,9S0
head of cattle which she was un-
aware that she possessed. Placing
these at a valuation of $1,000 per
head it equals $2,O99,S00. But the
campaign of tick eradication has cost
the various parishes throughout the
state $S3O,9S4. Subtracting this
from the total increase, and as a
constructive campaign, tick eradica-
riOn has added to the wealth Of Lou
isiana $1,268,S16, to say nothing of
the increased value in the cattle
themselves or the decrease of win
tering these cattle, which will be
seen this coming winter.
St. Tammany parish has .otal
Of 80 900 head of cattle. AT the be-
ginning of this seasons work of tick

Gators, in spite of the fact OF about
ten per cent OF the people through
out the parish have been playing
for time, and the unavoidable de-
lays of the court in bringing these
delinquents to Justice; with the
splendid cooperation of the other
ninety per cent of the people, have
reduced the infestation SO that dur
ing last month there were only 2l2
ticky herds in the parish.
While the majority of the people
have given their fullest cooperation
in this campaign and have done
splendid work toward eradicating the
Vast fever tick, yet, great many
have failed to realize that it Is their
work and they are paying the bills.
If they did fully realize this fac. !
am satisfied that they would not
stand for the Stacker who has pre-
vented the release of St. Tammany
parish from quarantine this Decem-
Der 1st, after spending their good
money for this purpose. They have
created the necessity of a general
systematic campaign for next season.
From now on, as long as the
weather will permit, is the most
critical time to reduce the remaining
amount of infestation to the mini
mum and prevent its spread. Every
stock-owner should not cease to CO.
operate to the fullest in dipping all
his cattle every fourteen days, as
long as the weather will permit, and
if possible, once in December, so that
we will be in a position to apply for
release from quarantine next July
and divert the expenditure of money,
time and labor to other channels of
improvement, which are so much
needed at this time.
The cost of tick eradication in st.
rammany parish for this season Is
tabulated here, as follows:

nation OF anarchists, rap1sts murderers, pros

criminals
One of the most ominous clouds over us TODAY
is the degeneracy of the home and the constant
ly ascending divorce mountain.
The Educational Society of the State of New
York, in recent report, says: "The church and
Sunday School are failing to do the work COM
mitted to them The main reason is because
they have lost their hold on the children and
young life of this generation; and this is mainly
because home religion is dead letter; the train
ing of society in the home is lost art the father
is no longer the vicar"
What an awful indictment! The throne of
power is still in the home, but the son and
daughter occupy it now. They say what they
