b. H. Wessling is the present pastor.
: The old place of worship had been
known as the Church of the Holy
Family, but after its dedication Sep
TENDER 10, 1890, by Rt. Rev. Otto Ear
detti, D. D., it was named the Church
of ST. Otto. When the present church
was dedicated, it was placed under the
care and protection of Our Lady of
Victory, its present patron. A new
parsonage was completed in Novem-
Der, 1914. The parish already owns a
teachers home as well as the site for
a school The church maintains three
Sunday school classes for the instruc-
tion of its young people. Other
|auxiliaries include The Catholic Order
of Foresters, The Junior and Senior
Holy Name Societies, The st. AIMS
Society, st. Agnes Sodality, st.
Theresa's Society. At present the
parish consists of seventy families.
The fervor, loyalty and spirit of
sacrifice, which, with the grace of God,
has supported the Catholics Of Fergus
Falls in the past, is living also in, the
growing generation, as is proven by
the many young men of Our Lady of
Victory church, who answered the call
of their country in her great struggle.

THE OLD PRIEST.

OF all the men in the world the
priest is the least fitted to carry the
burden Of life when he gives up his
work His education has not quail
fed him for any other means of earn
ing living. His very vocation-his
priesthood forbids him to take up
secular work. He has not the asylum
of home to apply to, as the Protestant
minister may have. In some dioceses,
if out of a meager salary he has not
been able to save enough for his old
age, he is a beggar who must eat the
bitter bread of charity. This is precise
ly the fate facing many American
priests.
When the white years gather around
a priest there is little human con-
ISOLATION for him. Too much is expect
ed of an old priest When he was
young and strong he willingly acted
as an architect, builder, lawyer, teach
er, purveyor Of amusement, social
arbiter and tax collector. He is NO
longer physically able for the work

hours in the confessional, night sick

brought him to where he is. Let hin

HOLY FATHERS DAILY LIFE.
Nocturnal StroHs.

The Pope has acted sometimes in a
manner wholly different from his
predecessors. Accompanied only by
his secretary, he has gone out Of his
private apartment to visit suddenly
some part of the Papal Palaces. This
happened for the first time some
months ago. 1t was precisely 10 P.
M. Deep silence reigned, broken only
by the footballs of Swiss Guard
sentinels and Papal Gendarmes, on
duty at their respective posts. The
Majordomo, Mgr SAM de Sampler,
was just about to go to bed, when he
heard knock at his door, which his
valet opened. The latter's surprise
can easily be imagined at the sight
of the Pope ON the threshold. The
Majordomo came forward at once,
knelt, and kissed the hand Of His
Holiness. Plus XI raised him up and
told him he came to visit him and
have a short and friendly converse
ton. He told him not to be surprised
if he was called upon thus unexpected
Y.
The night was warm and the Pope
proposed to go out on the "Loggia.''
There is on a level with the Major
domos apartment vast terrace look
ing on Piazza San Pietro.. On that
terrace gathered together prelates,
diplomats and guests during the Con-
clave, awaiting the announcement of
the new Pope's election. On that
same terrace Plus XI now walked for
about half an hour with the Major
domo and the Secretary. Perhaps
some of those who passed across the
Piazza at that hour noticed shadows
moving on the vast "Loggia," but
doubtless no one imagined that one
Of those shadows was the Pope.
Visit to the Observatory.
The Pope made another night ex-
cursion quite recently when he visi.
ted the Observatory This was not a
surprise visit The Holy Father, wish
ing to see the instruments and
planetary bodies, had sent word to
Father Hagen that he was coming and
Father Hagen awaited his Holiness

This time, too, the Pope came with
no escort, save the substitute of the
Secretary of State, Mgr. Pizzardo,

Palaces, Engineer Mannucci He did
not use his carriage. but went on foot
through the first Loggia, the Gallery
of Inscriptions, the Sculpture Gallery
to the Vatican Gardens. which he
crossed to Tower, above which the
Observatory is built
The Pope was received by the
Observatory Staff in the principal hall
on the first floor. He then climbed,
with Father Hagen, the staircase
leading to the cupola, his small retinue
following at short distance. It was
early in the evening and the planets
which offered themselves most for
observation were stir low on the
horizon Father Hagen led His Holi

cHRIsT's PUBLIC LIFE.

In our preceding instructions, we
treated the hidden life of Christ. To-
day we shall consider His public life.
Christ entered upon His public life
during the month of January of the
year so A. D., and remained in public
life until His passion and death, in
the spring of the year 33 a. D.
He began His public life with His
Solemn Baptism by John the Baptist
in the river Jordan, during which bap-
tism He was honored by God, the
Father, whose voice was heard say
ing, "Thou art My Beloved Son; in
Thee l am Well pleased" and by the
Holy Ghost, who came down upon
Him in bodily shape, in the form OF
a dove.
AS an immediate preparation for
His public ministry, Christ retired into
the desert to pray and fast for 40
days and 40 nights, and to allow Him
self to be tempted by the devil, to
warn us against temptation and to
teach us how to reject it.
From the beginning of His public
life, Christ took unto Himself 70 dis
ciples, whom He made His constant
companions, whom He instructed and
trained with special care, whom He
frequently sent, two by two, on pre-
liminary missions, and from whom He
chose His IL apostles.
During the three years of His pub.
lie life, the Lord preached through
out the Holy Land, from Judea and
Samaria to Galilee, going from city
to town and hamlet, announcing the
kingdom of God, teaching the people
what to believe and what to do to
attain the end of their creation, the
salvation of their immortal souls;
healing the sick; raising the dead tC
life again; performing all kinds OF
miracles to prove His divine mission
and origin, and the heavenly char
acter of His teaching. He spoke IL
words so plain and simple that, as {
rule, child could understand Him
He illustrated His meaning by com
parsons taken from the lilies of the
field, the birds of the air, the crops

and went doing good, He met witt

PoPE'S NOCTURNAL STRoLLS
FEATURE OF VATICAN LIFE
HIS HOLINESS SURPRISES
MAJoRDoMo BY NIGHT CALL
VISITS OBSERVATORY AN D
VIEWS sTARs-WoRKs FAR IN
TO THE NIGHT.

(By n. C. w. C. News Service.)
The life of Pope Plus XI has now
taken the usual trend Of that OF the
Popes who preceded him since the
time they ceased to pass out of the
Vatican and it's grounds. His Holiness
has adapted himself with a great spirit
of sacrifice to the necessities Of his
present position. Hitherto being ac-
customed to a very active life, to
travelling and mountaineering, the
sacrifice must be very irksome, re-
straining him from habits he held so
dear.
But Plus XI places his apostolic
duties above all others and he takes
no heed of anything which might IN
terfere with these duties. When
Archbishop Pellegrinetti, Nuncio to
Jugoslavia, who had been comrade
of Mgr. Ratti at the Nunciature in
Poland, came on a visit to Rome, he
respectfully pointed out to the Pope
that he ought to take more care OF
himself and economic his energies
by working less. Plus XI answered
that he considered the life of a man
elected Pope as practically at an end,
and therefore it was not worth while
troubling too much to prolong it, be-
cause all that which God would give
would be an extra time added to ones
existence, consequently it was neces-
sary "to trust to Providence and take
heed Of nothing else" And SO ne
does.
Works Late Into Night.
He sees people all day long and
works until quite late, even till l or
a. m. At that hour, from Piazza ).
Pietro, can be seen the light SHINING
through the spacious windows OF the
private library in which he works,
and where he keeps in perfect order,
upon a big table, the papers relating
to the different current affairs with
which. he personally deals.
Although the Pope has resigned
himself to sedentary habits, he cannot
forget his former life OF travel ana
