TRINITY CHURCH

The children's annual Christmas
service was a great success. 1t was
theirs to do justice and they did it.
We all feel proud of them because
they have learned to put the Christ
child before Santa Claus, bringing
their gifts for missions, which were
larger than previous years. Over at,
the Parish House the children enter
tanned their parents and others with
a very nice program, after which
they all received their gifts and can
dy. Credit is due to the teachers for
their untiring labors with them.
The Church with it's decorations
showed the thought of Christmas.
When the choir burst forth with that
old carol 80 come all We faithful it
seemed to bring all in line with vol
umn of praise. The communion SER
vice was greatly beautifed with in
tertwining of the service. The
choir did justice to this service.
There was a good attendance at all

ENTERED INTO REST
DIR. e. S. FESSENDEN

DIR. e. S. Fessenden, a former resi-
dent of Mineral Point, passed from
this life at his home in Albany,
Green county, on Friday morning,
December 1922. The local newspa-
per of Albany says: He simply clos
ed his work on earth at the age of
81 to begin life in eternity.
He was married to Henrietta Howe
at Mineral Point on March 25, 1860.
He has lived among us for twenty
three years with his estimable wife,
who survives him and they have en-
joyed the friendship of their fellow
toWnsmen in an enviable manner.
None knew them but to love them.
The Doctor praeticed medicine
here until his age prevented him
from doing and in fact, while not
regularly practicing the past few
years he has attended some special
friends occasionally until very recent
ly. r.
He was a member of the Christian
church and faithful to it from early
manhood and his life was an exam
pie of true Christian manhood.
He was an honored member of the
Grand Army Post at Brodhead, of
the Independent Order of Odd Eel
lows of Albany and an honorary
member of the w. C. T. U. of this
village.
His death is a great loss to the
community, and his kindly face will
long be missed from our circles.
For some years DR.. Fessenden
practiced medicine in Mineral Point,
where he is remembered as a man of
worth, of kindly nature and gener-
Gus impulses. He is survived by his
wife, two sons and two daughters.
His burial was at Monroe, beside
SON who died some years ago.

ST. MARY'S CHURCH
By Mrs. G.. w. Mess.

Christmas of 1922, was observed
with the usual solemn splendor at st.
Mary's church. Services were at
tended with much fervor and devo-
ton by all the parishioners. The
main altar of the church was re-
spIendent with its decoration OF
beautiful natural flowers and ferns
intermingled with many electric
lights and white light of many can
dies. Twelve acolytes served in the
sanctuary A beautiful crib at one
of the side affairs representing the
scene at Bethlehem, the child Jesus
III the manger, the virgin mother
Mary, st Joseph, angels and shepards
all giving homage to the new born
king, was very impressive. First
high mass was celebrated by the To-
cal paster, Father Weyer with a ser
mon by Father Regis of Mt. Calvary
which was full of Christmas cheer
and bearing the message that appeals
to all christians. This mass was fol-
lowed by four low masses, second
high mass with sermon was cele-
brated at half past ten o'clock. The
special music and the singing of st.
Michaels mass by the large childrens
choir of ST. Mary's parochial school
was exceptionally beautiful. More
than seven hundred holy commun-
ions were distributed. The Christ
mas offerings were very generous
showing the esteem of the congrega-
ton for their pastor. The edifying
services concluded with solemn bene

ST. PAUL'S CHURCH

Preparations to receive the new
born king this year were no different
from those carried out during the
past nineteen hundred years. The
first mass being at $50, at which
time was assembled the congregation
in almost it's entirety, very much re-
sembling the penitent time of mis-
sion, despite the disagreeable wealth
er. The children's choir, under the
very careful training of Mrs. r. A.
Gallagher, sung hymns at this mass,
which were very inspiring and APP
prepriate to the occasion and to
which is due great credit to the in
structor. In a few well chosen re-
marks, Father O'Reilly, greeted the
congregation, extending to them the
compliments of the season "Peace on
earth, to men of good WILL" and his
appreciation of the large attendance
of his parishioners at the early hour.
The affairs were wonderfully deco
rated by the Altar Society and pre-
scented an inspiring appearance, es-
pecially so "the crib of Bethlehem"
on st. Mary's.
At 1915, Rosewig Mass in F, was
sung by the large choir, prepared
under the direction of Miss Cora
Keyes, with Mrs. Joseph Collins pre-
siding at the organ. 1t was a Won
derful rendition by well trained
choir of beautiful mass and more
than appreciated by the congrega-
ton. Father O'Reilly was at his best
in a sermon eXhorting his parishion-
ers to remain steadfast in their faith.

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH

The Christmas activities at the
Congregational church were varied
and enriching and were ushered in
with a fitting cantata, ITO Bethle-
hem" by the choir on Sunday even
ing, Dec. II.
On Thursday Dec. 81, at the Relig-
ious instruction hour the teaching
centered in and about the Babe of
Bethlehem and the session closed
with a treat for the Primary and
Junior groups while the older ones
carried baskets of goodies to the less
favored in the city. On Saturday
night, the lecture room was packed
to hear the program prepared by the
S. S. By general verdict it was pro-
nounced the most largely attended
and telling program in years, as
m ny as forty little tots occupied the
pl.~ torn in some of the numbers.
The Christmas tree with it's spark
ing beauty and the treat and pres
ents for the children made the night
glad for everybody. On Sunday
morning more than five hundred wor-
shippers assembled to pay reverence
and devotion, to the new born king.
The exultant singing by the choir
lifted the hearts of the worshipping
throng into feelings of holy praise
and the pastors message was vital
tribute to the power of the Christ
mas Star in it's Punishment of dark
ness, gloom and ignorance from the
pathway of humanity. The Christ
mas Spirit was never more manifest
in the church and parish than in the
season of 1922.

Germany APPEALS
To UNITED STATES
Wants Financial Experts Named
to Fix Reparations.
SEEKS PURELY YANK BOARD
Asks That All Troops Be Withdrawn
From the Rhine in Plan Out
lined to the State
Department.

Washington, Dec. 21.-In order that
a "just" reparations sum may be ar
rived at, Germany has communicated
to the State depa. tment proposal
that a commission of experts be ap-
pointed to study and determine fig
ure within her capacity to pay. The
plan also was communicated to the
capitals of other allied nations. The
outstanding features of the proposal
are as follows:
/. Germany suggests commission
of financial and economic experts to
study and determine a just repara-
tons sum which is within Germany's
capacity to pay. The present repara-
lions figure is equivalent to more than
$3O,OOOOOO,OOO.
Prefers U. S. Appolntees.
2. Germany would prefer that this
commission be made up entirely Of ap-
pointees by the United States, which
would constitute American mediation,
but understands that the allied pow
ers concerned with the reparatiOns
problem would not agree to this. She,
therefore, proposes that the commits
sion be participated in by the United
States and the allies.
3. Germany is prepared to offer
every facility to this commission in ar
irving at it's decision as to what Ger
many should and could pay, throwing
open the books dealing with the ad-
ministration of her internal affairs,
and so forth.
Withdrawal Of Troops Asked.
4. Germany hesitates to make re-
parations figure herself on the ground
that France and other allies would
find it unacceptable
5. Germany reels that if the allied
armies Of occupation were withdrawn
from her territory she could pay
double the amount Of reparations she
otherwise could meet, or at least a
much larger sum.
6. Germany undertakes to give a
categorical answer ives" or "no"-as
to whether she wou accept and agree
to pay the figure that the expert COM
mission decided On,
