CHRISTMAS FIRES
BURNED ON MOUNTAINS BY IN
DAMS IN HONOR OF THE
GREAT FEAST.

Fires burned all night on Christmas
Eve on the Guadalupe Mountains, to
the southwest of Juarez, Mexico, in
cOmmemoration of the birth of Christ.
These fires were built by the devout
Indians who worship at the old church
of Our Lady of Guadalupe there.
They climbed the barren sides of the
mountains which oVershadow the
town, driving their little burros ahead
of them with firewood loaded on their
backs. AT nightfall the fires were
kindled and tended throughout the
night by the Indians.
These fires could be seen from all
parts of the Juarez valley and from
Ell Paso. They have been burning
each Christmas Eve for more than a
century, according TO the records in
the padres home in the mission
church garden. j

BELGIUM AND ITALY

. = ? ~ s :
N: In 1878 a number Of Belgian Catho-
lies conceived the idea Of founding at
Louvain, under religious auspices. a
High School of Agriculture for the use
of Catholic youth. This institution
prospered beyond all hopes, and, after
remaining autonomous for few years,
became incorporated with the Univer.
sity. The success Of the foundatio
has suggested the idea OF establishing
a school to be run on similar lines in
Italy, essentially an agricultural coun.
try, where the need of such an insti-
tute is very great. The Bishops OF
Belgium, up to the beginning of the
war, got the, young priests of their
diocese to follow the agricultural
course at the .Louvain College with a
view to their being able afterwards
TO deliver lectures on this subject.

of foreign service.
A gold stripe on the right sleeve
means wounded in action
(. A dark-blue stripe on. the left
sleeve. means less than six months
foreign service. 49,.

IN MEMORY
A TRIBUTE TO THE LATE ARCH
BISHOP IRELAND.
Written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Or. James Henderson,

'Tis only mean little tribute
We mortals may pay to the dead,
If shaft be as high as the heavens,
When all has been done and said.
The green of the grass in the spring
time
Clinging and kissing his mound,
SWeeter this tribute of nature
Than all Of the tablets around.
Let him lie as he wished it and willed
it d..
Safe meath a wreathing Of snow,
In sunshine or shadow We'll find him
, Not far would the shepherd go;
Just out where the sunshine may woo
him,
Out in the dew and the rain,
A thousand long years passing over
They'll seek him if there he hath
= lain.
The chancel bell misses him sadly,
Its note seems atremble with tears
When the Host is held up at the Sane.
: tus
J Or the Blood in the chalice appears
And those of his flock who are griey-
! ing
Bow longer, in thought of the dead,
Out now under heavens broad spaces
Where stars have a requiem said.
Lone thro' the silence Of night hours,
When never a footstep is near
Sleeping his sleep, Gods own soldier,
His bivouac, his choosing, his bier,
With the dead Of his flock all about
- him ". -.
Awaiting, awaiting we say,
To lead them safe into the Sheepfold,
A shepherd ON Great Judgment Day.

A letter from President e. A. Prem

the annual report of the Society Of

ton that will doubtless evoke many
responses from the Catholics of the
city. Mr.. Prendergast says:
An invitation should be extended
to the Catholics of Minneapolis to
visit the Mission on Cedar Avenue on
Sunday afternoons, and mention should
be made that the Society is in need
of funds to support the Mission and
assist the City Missionary in this
work. l believe that as the Society
and its work become better known in
Minneapolis Catholics will respond to
its needs, and in aSfew years we will
have the Society upon the same basis
that it is in st. Paul. ,The total re-
ceipts in st. Paul last year for the
Particular Council of that city were

Why do we bless ourselves with
holy water?
AS a sign of our Catholic faith, a
the redemption of Christ, and as an
invocation that God may cleanse us
from sin. We can bless ourselves. OF
course, without holy water, and we
can use holy water without blessing
ourselves. The sign Of the Cross, is
a profession of our faith, and holy
water is a symbol Of cleansing from
sin; we unite the two when we bless

consists, not in the possibility or prob

but in the fact that it is an offense
against God and act of disobedience
against His commandment. Sins must
be confessed and sorrow must accom-
pany confession. The sin of theft
damages the owner, and compensa.

DOUGLAS
BY James WeatherIY

There have been lots of good news
circulating in our town during the
past month, but it seems that our
representative has been lax in his
duties. He must get busy and let
the people know what he can do.
Rev. Allen, presiding elder of the
A. M. E. church was in Douglas on
Sunday, March 23rd, and held his
quarterly meeting. His congregation
was one of the largest ever assembled
in Douglas and his quarterly meeting
and conference proved quite success
full. Rev. DR.. Allen delivered a splen-
did address on Sunday evening. Every
body enjoyed the discourse and went
away happy.
The Colored citizens of Douglas
gave delightful entertainment for
the returned soldiers. The welcome
address was delivered by Chaplain
Berry of the Tenth Cavalry and Lieu
tenant Penn, who has recently re-
turned from over seas, responded in
happy vein. He told us of many
things that happened over there. Ser
geants Bird and Wright, also from
over seas, made interesting and in
telligent talks. A delectable lunch
was served and enjoyed by all. The
remainder of the evening was spent in
dancing, music for the occasion being
furnished by the Colored-Jazz band.
Hon. J. c. Scott, grand patron of
the o. E. s., for Texas and Jurisdic-
ton was a visitor in Douglas the past
week. On March 29th banquet was
given in honor of this distinguished
visitor and all the appetizing viands
of the season were served. Pictures
of all heroines of ancient times were
shown, also. a number of patriotic pic
lures. This was one of the most not
able affairs ever staged in Douglas
and will not be forgotten soon.
Mrs. Wiley Baldin, who has been
on an extended visit to Kansas City,
returned to Douglas last week. She
went to visit her sister who resides
Phoenix tribune., 1919-04-19

in Kansas City. Mrs. Baldin is much
improved in health since her visit
and looks SO well that we hardly rec
ognized her.
Mrs. Bertha Williams, formerly of
Douglas and wife of assistant band
master of the 9th Cavalry, stationed
at Camp Stotsenburg Pampango, P. L.,
has passed away. Mrs. Williams was
well and favorably known in this city
and her many friends are grieved to
learn of her death. She leaves a
mother, daughter and grand children
in Douglas, who will mourn her pass
ing.

First Sergeant Solomon ]. Bird of
the 349th Field Artillery, is at home

return to Camp Upton in few days.
First Lieutenant Penn of the 92nd
Division is at home with his family.
He will return to his camp in few
days with the hope of being discharged
from the service shortly.
First Sergeant Wilson and Sergeant
Wright are happy arrivals in Douglas
from over seas. They have many
things to tell the people of Douglas
about their trip over there, wonder
full stories, too. We are indeed glad
Phoenix tribune., 1919-04-19

to welcome our Douglas boys back
home.
Rev. Edward Jones, pastor of the
Second Baptist church, has moved
from the parsonage to his new resi-
dence in Pirterville.
The people of Douglas want the

reporter has been a little lax in his
duties, they have decided to subscribe
for the paper by the year.

with clock-like precision. That Mr.
Lucas is not a novice when it comes
to entertaining the public was clearly
demonstrated Tuesday night. Every
body complimented him for the busi-
ness-like manner in which he is con-
Quoting the place. If the opening
night is an indication of what future
affairs at this park will be, Irvine
Park is destined to become the most
popular resort in Phoenix. The re-
porter saw Mr.. Lucas about p. m.
Wednesday, and he had not finished
counting his receipts for the previous
night. Every Tuesday and Friday
night there will be something of i'm
portance going on at Irvine Park
You'll miss it if you miss it.
En- Route to Ray

was visitor in the city Monday. She

Fish, 9O9 East Jefferson street. Mrs
Reese said that the Phoenix Tribune
is very popular in California and all
seem to enjoy reading it.
Here from Kansas City
Mrs W. Hill of Kansas City is
recent arrival in Phoenix She came
to visit her husband, who has been
here the past month. They are stay
ing at the residence of Mr. and Mrs.

every thing goes well, they may re-
side here permanently.

cured a lunch stand concession at
