Christmas at St. Anthony's Chapel

Christmas at st. Anthony's Chapel
While the world was still in slum1
berland the solemn strains Of "Holy
Night" issued forth from the little
white church on Boise Avenue and
Second street, which was aglow with
Brilliant lights and radiant faces pay
ing homage to the Newborn King.
The church, and especially the altar,
was decorated with arbor vitae
boughs mterspersed tastily with ma
tural flowers, the whole forming
graceful arch over the sanctuary. The
Illumination was arranged so that
and delicate gold lace. was displaved
in all fits splendor. The crib, symbol
ic of the scene at Bethlehem, was also
attractively arranged. Christmas
lights were attached throughout, and
a large radiant @Star of Bethlehem"
shone down from above, shedding its
mellow light upon the holy group
gathered around the manger.. The
decorations were the work Of MEM
bers Of st. Anthony's Altar Society
and the lighting effects were realized
through the kindness of local electri-
SLAMS. The High Mass was sung at
$50 q. m. Father Dwyer the pastor,
was the celebrant. The choir sang
the we'll known musical mass Of st.
John, the Evangelist, and the rendi-
ton was exceptionally pleasing. The
music at the later masses included
time-honored hymns, such rs "Adeste
Fidelis", and were effectively sung,
so1na by the junior choir, others by
TIE regular choir. Benediction Of the
Most Blessed Sacrament brought the
joyful Christmas functions to happy
close. In his Christmas message to
the congregation, FIR. Dwyer spoke in
part as follows: "Just rs the angel
saluted the shepherds Of old, SO the i
church announces today, Behold, I
bring you good tidings of great joy
It is our Holy Mother the Church {

The retirement of Prince Hatsfield,

Berlin newspapers to express cordial
recognition of his services in diff

cause of his resignation from the com
mission is believed to have been his
failure to make good the, promise he
gave the German populations of Up
per Silesia that order would be re-
stored within three days after the In
surrection began. The inability on
the part Of the allied forces there
to halt the advance Of korfantys men
