The herald., 1919-11-27

The Catholic University is a monu-
ment to the devotion to the lovers of
higher education. 1t is a monument
both in its buildings, in its courses
and in its students.
It's buildings have been admired by
visitors of all countries. Its courses
surpass the courses of many of the
older universities, and the thorough
ness of its works is manifested in it's
students, who are already famous in
many fields of human activities. No.
body can see this institution without
feeling proud of it. Hence all are re.
quested to give literally, because the
university needs immense sums to
place it where it should be among the
foremost institutions of learning in
this country.
Next Sunday at every mass a col
lection will be taken up for this pur-
pose.
THANKSGIVING ENTERTAINMENT
"A VI. ". l.
BENEFIT OF OUR PA
ROCHIAL SCHOOL.
The big day has arrived again and
all is in readiness for a day of fun
and frolic. The flood gates of this big
amusement feast will be turned loose
at p. m. This is specially for the
children. From to 6, come one,
come all. All kinds of games will be
played and merriment will reign SUI
preme. Fun and nothing but fun will
be on tap. Those who cannot very
we'll stand the strain of two hours
laughter and enjoyment had better
stay at home.
At night there will be pictures at Z.
A specially selected feature will be
shown, and at a vaudeville program
will be rendered by the children Of
the school. This is a most worthy
cause and the usual Algiers spirit
should be on hand for that night.
FORTY HOURS DEVOTION.
The closing of the Forty Hours De-
votion took place in a blaze of glory
and solemnity never before equalled
in the Church of the Holy Name last
Sunday. Not detail was overlooked
and many were added. The decora-
lions of the sanctuary, the altar un-
der the able direction of Rev. Father
McGrath, s. NJ, were unexcelled any
where. The sanctuary was filled with
priests of nearly every congregation.
1t was beautiful tribute to the popu-
1arity of the pastor, Father Larkin.
All the intricate ceremonies of these
days and the closing were under the
immediate direction of Rev. McGrath,
who attended to every detail and had
the whole celebration running with all
the solemnity and order which makes
these ceremonies so impressive. Fa-
theirs Larkin and McGrath deserve
much credit for this great achieve
ment.
Rt. Rev. Bishop Gum preached one
of the most eloquent sermons ever
heard in the church on the Blessed
Sacrament. Fathers McGrath and
Hayes preached on Friday and Satur-
day. They showed themselves already
advanced masters of sacred eloquence.
Father Larkin and the congregation
are fortunate in having two young
priests as his assistants. The men
responded nobly to the call of their
pastor and the whole middle aisle was
filled with sincere and devout men,
who came to pray and do honor to
their God.
After the services Father Larkin
entertained the visiting clergymen at
luncheon.
