Shakopee: A large mixed choir is

first appearance next Sunday, is un-

The organist is Roman Schumacher.
The six art windows on the south
side of ST. Marks Church, are IN
place and are much appreciated by
the congregation. Structurally all
windows are worked in early gothic
with groups of figures in colors con-
forming to the art period and other
wise in harmony with the general
color scheme of the renovated church.
The memorial window was desired
by the pastor and the parish commit
tee to commemorate in a fit and per-
shown by the parishioners of st.
Marks Church in the world war. The
antique inscription on the scroll on
the top of the figure group proclaims
this in: Pro Dec ct pro Patria-for
God and our country. In the back
ground there is a conflagration. of a
quaint old French city with its citadel,
indicating the ravages of the destruc-
tive war. The group represents Christ
in blessing posture, kneellng be-
fore Him are st. Joan of Arc, the
sanity French maiden, offering to
Christ her sword tied with a ribbon,
symbol of the end of strife, and a
youthful American soldier in his full
war uniform and equipment, repre-
senting the frank and vigorous Amer
lean army. The dominating figure on
the right top is a young American
navy boy in navy uniform, holding the
proudly streaming American flag so
molly defended on all seas by the
American navy. The whole compost
ton of the group breathes peace and
confidence in Gods providence, &C
cording to our old: In God we trust.
Below the group is a stone tablet
with the inscription: Members of st.
Marks Church, Shakopee, Mimi, in
the world war of 1917-191S. Then
follow the names of Sc returned liv-
ing representatives Of st. Marks par
ish in the American Army and Navy
and Army Red Cross. r. l. P. Gre
quiescant in Pace-Let them rest in
Peace decorated with palm leaves, in
PRODUCES the five names OF the five
boys of st. Marks Of Shakopee, who
suffered the supreme sacrifice in their
loyalty to their country.
AS a public document, in such a be-
fitting place, the memorial window is
and shall be more so in the years to
come, an exceedingly interesting his
torical art window; the beautiful in
terror of ST. Marks Church gains much
in public interest for having enshrined
such tender sympathetic monument
to the patriotism and loyalty of it's
Pensioners.
