Geneva, July 29.-Alexander Gar
bal, president of the Hungarian SOW
let government, killed himself in the
assembly building at Budapest after
delivering a speech against the soviet
and the communist supporters, and
accusing Bella Kun, the soviet leader
and minister of foreign affairs of
leading the nation to ruin, according
to the Munich Nachriten.
M. Garbai until recently was reput.
ed one of the strongest supporters of
the soviet government, but lately he
was said to have opposed Bella Kun.
He was quoted as stating he realized
the futility of the government
course and its dangers to the
country.
Alexander Garbai was appointed
premier in the reconstructed Hun
garian cabinet early in April. Bella
Kun, who was made minister of for

quickly became recognized as the
leader of the communist faction.

DIOCESE OF WNONA

Wabasha: The annual meeting of
st. Felix parish was held at the Audi
forum Sunday afternoon, December
IA. The attendance was probably the
largest in the history of the parish
and an enthusiastic spirit was mani
tested. Notwithstanding the extensive
improvement made during the past
few months on the high school, the
parsonage, and the Notre Dame con-
vent, aggregating in cost together with
the current expense nearly $4,000, the
financial report showed that practical.
ly the entire amount is paid and that
the parish will be in debt less than
81 900 as result of all these improve
ments. This is indeed an excellent
and most gratifying showing, trib-
ute to the work of the pastor and the
committees in charge, as well as the
splendid spirit prevailing in the par
ish.
G. A. Marschner was elected secre-
tary and III. ]. Mars treasurer of the
parish for term of two years. The

board of directors: Nick Marx, s. NJ.

Church of ST. Luke: The Christmas
decorations of the church were unus-

directed artistically by Miss Ann Oh

Crib was in charge of Miss Louise
Orme
For three weeks the young people
of the parish rehearsed Christmas
carols under the direction of Prof.
Bruenner. The parish had been divid-
ed into four districts, and bands of
carolers of the St. Luke Community
Service Chorus visited each district
on Christmas eve. They assembled at
the home Of the pastor, Very Rev. J.
c. Byrne, and there sang several beau
tiful selections. Then they proceeded,
in autos furnished by Mr.. E. H. Nolan,
to the Visitation Convent and to the
Orphan Asylum. After that the sing

pleasing melodies. In each district the
ladies of the parish provided refresh
ments for the members of the several
bands. The leaders of the various
groups of singers were the Misses
Blanche Suerth, Edith Donohue, May
Barry and Frances Flynn.
The ladies' organization of the par
ish furnished money and food to pro-
vide more than fifty dinners for the
poor on Christmas day.
Church of St. Andrew: The first
Mass was celebrated in the new church
on Christmas morning at five o'clock.
Owing to labor troubles the opening
of the new edifice has been delayed.
The interior of the combination church

While continuing to pray, for the

THE CHURCH UNIVERSAL
TOUCHING INCIDENT OF WAR
OPPOSING ARMIES ATTEND
MASS AT SAME TIME.

There is wonderful passage in
that gripping story of the war written
by Henry Barbusse. An airman,
scouting one Sunday morning above
the trench lines in France, was puz-
zled to notice the simultaneous collec-
ton of big masses of men on both
sides.
They gathered at the same hour
They grouped themselves in the same
formations. They seemed to be going
through the same motions.
Could it be that, by some strange
chance, both armies were preparing an
attack simultaneously?
The airman planed downwards until
he could hear the sounds that cama
from the two mighty hosts. The
sounds also were identical. Then,
with shock of surprise, the aviator
realized what he was watching. "The
two armies were hearing Mass"
They had interrupted the mutual
slaughter" says NJ. Barbusse, ito ad-
dress the same prayers in the same
words at the same moment to the
same God"
Commenting on this passage in a
Socialist paper, Mr.. H. n. Brailsford,
an eminent English on-Catholic writ
err, says: ITO imagine that scene is
to sum up the paradox of human ma
ture in it's follies and it's grandeur"
1t is also to realize the universally
and sublimity of the Catholic religion.
The Catholic Church alone is able to
solve the antinomies of human exist
ence She alone has a satisfactory
doctrine regarding war. She alone
can reconcile it's justice with it's hor-
rors. She alone can give courage to
bear it's sufferings. ..-

had gathered to hear him. At the
close of his address he complimented
the pastor and the congregation on
what has been accomplished here
Up to two years ago the parish was
only mission receiving religious min
istrations occasionally. There was
no resident pastor, no parochial resi-
dence, no school, The people now
enjoy the blessing of forming a reg
ular parish with Rev. Henry Kipp as
their pastor The parochial house and
school are buildings of which any par
ish would have reason to be proud
The Presentation Sisters of Dubuque
are in charge of the school,
Isabel: Monday evening of last
week the Rt Rev. Bishop presided at
a meeting of the parishioners and en-
couraged them to complete the church
as soon as possible. Ii it had not
been for the stormy weather the
church would be ready for occupancy
by the new year. Father MCGOWAN
is the pastor
Glad Valley: The new church at
this place was dedicated by Bishop
Lawler Monday morning, December
H. The mission is attended from Isa-
bel.
Trail City: The dedication of the
new church took place Tuesday morn
ing, December IS. The Rt Rev.
Bishop also gave Confirmation At
present this is mission, but it will
have it's own pastor before next July.
Father Kipp attends to it now.
Glen Cross: Bishop Lawler ad-
dressed a number of the people living
around this village on Wednesday, De-
cember II. AS they are ambitious to
have a parish of their own and a res
ident pastor, they promised the Bishop
to begin to build a church at once.
For a while they are satisfied to be
taken care of by the priest who will
be at Trail City, but it will not be
for long, because they are able and
willing to support a priest. Without
boasting they predict that they will
have a parochial school within two
years.
