HISTORY OF RED LODGE CHURCH.

HISTORY OF RED LODGE CHURCH.
Early in 1892, when the Rev. Fran
els Van Clarenbeck was appointed pas
tor of the newly founded parish of ST.
Patricks at Billings was when Red
Lodge was looked at as if it would
be a parish of it's own in the near flu
ture. In 1899, Red Lodge was found
sufficiently developed to have resi-
dent priest, and the honor Of the first
passionate of st. Agnes was bestowed
upon Father Hoffman, a young and
quite frail priest whose health soon
failed and he was obliged to seek some
missionary work in more healthy
climate After the departure of Fa-
Their Hoffman, till December, 1901, the
ministrations of religion were per.
formed at st. Agnes by5Father Curran
A priests residence was built in 1903
From the fall of 1908 till August, 1913,
this parish was presided over by the
Rev. Thomas Mccormack, than whom
no priest who ever labored here was
more esteemed and respected He had
wonderful character and disposition
and was always smiling and he won
host of friends from all classes and
from every creed in the community.
During his ministry, he labored zeal
ously and conscientiously for the sal
walton of souls. He improved the
church and the parochial residence in
every way possible, establishing
heating system in both places that
proved to be very satisfactory. Father
Mccormack would make it his duty
to visit the people in remote sections
of the parish and at that time it was
no easy matter, but he would make the
visits to all those people on a small
pony which he kept for this purpose
In the close Of the summer Of 1913,
Father Mccormack was called back to
Ireland, to assume clerical duties On
August 9, Father Mcguire took up
missionary duties in the parish of St.
Agnes at Red Lodge. He has, there
fore, the distinction, if distinction it
be, of being priest in Red Lodge long
er than any one of his predecessors.
Father Mcguire cleared the parish of
what debt it had been under at the
time of his advent to the parish. He
erected beautiful high altar of fresco
in st. Agnes church, and did other
minor improvements in the parish.

. A SENSE OF HuMoR.

Life is a serious business. To go
through it well demands earnestness.
But this does not mean that a sense
of humor is to be regarded as an in
dication of irresponsibility.
On the contrary, an ability to see
the humorous side of things will often
help a man to stand up under respon'
sibility that otherwise might over
whelm him; for man with sense
of humor is well fortified against dis
enlargement.
He is good loser, and next to be
ing a good winner, there is nothing
that will help man through the diff
fculties and trials of life like being a
.Sood loser.

CAN WE GET ALONG WITHOUT
THE CHURCH?

A question like this was recently
sent to many prominent men.
Governor Allen of Kansas remarked
that if somebody was in position to
threaten to shut up all the churches
in the country unless the masses of
the people Immediately showed inter
est in keeping them open, he would
get at once "a general response from
agitated millions" He added: Men
love to find fault with the church, and
doubtless it is not all that it ought
to be, but when you come to answer
the question as to what the country
would do without it, you simply can't
answer it,
His fellew Kansan, Senator Capper,
observed: "The most powerful factor
in the modern democratic movement,
the greatest force in the new philos-
ophy of government which sets hui
mainly above material things, has
been Christianity and the church"
Senator Willis of Ohio recalled that
the early settlers Of America thought
first of place of worship" and fur
Their declared: ct will be a lamenta-
BILE day for the world when the church
no longer occupies such a position
day, thank God, that can never
come ...-.~ ~-
Perhaps the most striking testimo-
ny of all in this particular collection
of opinion comes from DR.. Royal S.
Copeland, health commissioner of the
city of New York, who said:
More and more I am impressed
with the idea that the world needs
the church. Within two years have
had occasion to send three thousand
drug addicts to Riverside hospital.
They are given splendid physical re-
generation there But without spirit
ual regeneration they go back to their
old haunts, their old companions, their
old habits. There is no system of n.y.
podermic medication capable Of
changing the nature of man. 1t is
only through the means of spiritual
baptism that he becomes a new man.
It is my observation that the social
worker who carriers a message of re-
ligion as we'll as an ethical or social
message is more influential and help
full than the one who goes without it. :"

SOULS ARE BUILT.

Souls are built as temples are
Here a carving rich and quaint,
There the image of saint;
Here a deep-hued pane to tell
Sacred truth or miracle;
Every little helps the much;
Every careful, careless touch
Adds a charm or leaves a scar.
Souls are built as temples are
Based on truths eternal law,
Sure and steadfast, without flaw,
Through the sunshine, through the
SHOWS,
Up and on the building goes;
Every fair thing finds its place,
Every hard thing lends a grace,
Every hand may make or mar.

UNCLE JlMMY'S LION.

"Come over and play with my
goat" called Billy from across the
street.
81 can't, cause Uncle Jimmy's got
a lion, and he said if I'd stay right
here he'd call me when he's ready to
show it to me-" replied Jimmy.
Billy looked unhappy. The goat
was about all Billy had. Every boy
in the neighborhood was his friend be.

uncle going and getting lion!
where does he keep it," asked
Billy.

1t was Uncle Jimmy calling.
81 don't know, but maybe he'll let
you see it, .too,,' answered Jerry.
He remembered how good Billy
had been about sharing his goat.
"Sure he CAM" replied Uncle
Jimmy when Jerry asked him.
The boys followed Uncle Jimmy
down the garden path and into the
grove that lay behind the yard.

Jerry. -
Maybe he's just waiting to spring
on us. They don't roar then" said
Billy.
Uncle Jimmy chuckled.
When he came to low mound in a
clear sunny spot, Uncle Jimmy
stopped.
He's in here if he's still in bust
ness. Well look at him through the
magnifying glass"
Must be pretty much of a baby
lion if you have to see him that
way!" said Jerry.
There he is, in the bottom of that
little hollow!" cried Uncle Jimmy.
Billy took the magnifying glass and
gazed into the hollow in the sand
ut doesn't look like lion, though"
he announced, after a minute. ut
looks just like a bug buried in the
ground with nothing but the end Of
his head and two claws sticking up.
My, but them claws are fierce!"
"Right-o, Billy! You're a. good
seer. Now, Jerry, you look at him
through the glass. You can see him
without it, but you can't see how hor-
rible those claws look to the prey

did he fall in there and get
buried?" asked Jerry.
"Not he!" laughed Uncle Jimmy
"He dug that pit and then buried him
self in it all except his head and
claws. This pit is nothing more nor
less than trap by means of which
the ant lion gets his prey"
Here comes an anti" cried Billy.
That's what we're waiting for, and
SO is Mr.. Ant Lion! He digs his pit
right in a place where ants are sure
to walk. Now watch"
The ant hurried along on its bust
ness, never suspecting any danger
until it cameato the edge of the pit.
Then it turned somersault over the
edge and landed right between the
terrible clawsstAats waiting for it.
"Horrid1 thing!" cried Jerry.
"Here- comes another anti" an
nounced Billy.
The same thing happened to the
second ant and to a third and a
fourth.
"How many will he catch?" asked
Billy.
"Just as many as pass this way"

Sin Due to Free sWiIi.

Many people are puzzled at the ex-
istence of sin and suffering. They
say If God is so good, why does He
allow sin to send souls to hell, and
why is there so much suffering in
the world? We answer that God
created man with free will If man
were not free to choose between good
and evil, he would not deserve a re-
ward for doing good, nor punishment
for evil. In all civilized countries,
there are laws for the preservation
of good order. He who obeys is ex-
tolled as a good and loyal citizen,
whilst the violators of the law are
punished as criminals. God merely
permits sin, He neither causes it nor
wills it. The existence of moral good
is the only reason for the creation of
the universe.
Suffering often Blessing.
Neither is the existence of suffer
ing incompatible with Gods goodness.
Did our Savior and His chosen apos-
ties lead lives of luxury and ease? On
the contrary, they lived lives OF dire
poverty and hardship and died violent
deaths.
Our Divine Master worked miracles
without number to heal disease. He
comforted all manner of sufferers, and
showed a kindness of heart unequal
led in the history of mankind. Never
theless, Whom the Lord loveth He
chastiseth, and He scourgeth every
son whom He receiveth.' "Gold is
tried in the fire, and acceptable men
in the furnace of tribulation." Very
often temporal suffering is blessing
in disguise. 1t turns our thoughts on
eternity and the judgments of God,
and reminds US sternly that we have
not here a lasting city, but seek one
that is to come.
Prosperity of the Wicked.
Finally, the good are often allowed
to suffer, while the wicked prosper in
this world. We cannot infer from this
that God is unjust. That would be
Judging case on half of the evidence.
We must keep in mind that another
life follows this, where patient suffer
ing will be rewarded, and where I'M
repentant wickedness will be punish
ed eternally. 1t is there alone that We
can form true judgment of Coos
works. How inscrutable are Gods
judgments and how unsearchable are
His ways" Crosses are often tests
of our humility and obedience, to find
out whether we are really loyal fol-
lowers of the Man of Sorrows. Ey-
cry one knows that the test of true
friendship is willingness to suffer for
our friends. The wicked sometimes
suffer the penalty of their misdeeds,
even in this life Outraged nature
wreaks her vengeance on the votaries
of sinful pleasures. "Woe to you rich;
for you have your consolation"
Blessed are they that mourn, for they
shall be comforted."
Our attitude towards Almighty God
should be as children to a powerful
and merciful father. We ought to be
humble and obedient, admiring the
wonders of His ways. Our limited
and dark understanding cannot sound
His judgments nor pierce His secret
designs. Let us rather cultivate firm
faith in His providence, hope in His
meScy and power and love because of
His infinite kindness and generosity
to us.
