st. Paul Leads.
While st. Paul has permitted some
honors to pass to the sister city, it
still has good reason to feel proud of
what it has done for the missions.
The total Offering from the schools of
st. Paul amounted last year to $4,29S,-
46; the Minneapolis schools are cred
tied with $1,12474.
"Buy" Many Infants.
Again, last year the schools of the
diocese covered themselves with
glory in the matter of pagan infant
purchases" This form of mission
support makes special appeal to the
associates, and in the year just closed
no less than 1,063 infants were ran
somed through as many So offerings
from the children. In this field of en-
deavor the pupils of the Pro-Cathe-
dral School of Minneapolis again claim
distinction with 100 of these SIS bar
gans to their credit. Room No. 10
of this school gave S110 to rescue %
infants from paganism. st. Luke's
School of ST. Paul made 107 'pur-
chases," for total of $685.. Other
schools which bought" heavily were
| ST. Francis of St. Paul, the Cathedral
of st. Paul, ST. Michael of Saltwater
st. Mark and ST. john both of St
| Paul
Phenomenal Seal Sale.
Another special work to which the
| associates gave themselves enthusi
astically during the holiday season OF
| 1920 was the sale of Holy Childhood
| Christmas seals. The announcement
| from the local Office that the seals
were available for distribution at {
penny each, brought an avalanche o.
orders. When the storm had subsidet
and opportunity was given to count
the pennies, it was found that ovel
250,0O0 seals had been sold.
! The best statesmen and salesladie'
in the diocese proved TO be the pu
pills of st. Anthony's School, Minneap
oils, whose phenomenal work nettet
$50325 for the missions. Othe
branches which acquitted themselve
with more than ordinary credit wer'
st. Michaefs of st. Paul, the Cathe
dral of st. Paul, the Pro-Cathedral 0
Minneapolis, st. Marks of st. Pau
and the Immaculate Conception 0
;, Faribault.
! The year 1921 has opened well, an
the Reverend Director begs the abur
dant blessings of heaven upon tn
associates to make the new year on
, of splendid results for the missions
