Father Charland celebrated two ami

when he observed the goth anniversary
of his coming to Watcrville. He
preached on that day to large congre-

two masses. The second anniversary
celebration was on the 35th anniver-

For Is years Father Charland was
the State defensor of the marriage tie

Maine. He was also examiner for the
younger clergy and for some length of
time was on the bishops council and

CITY M0URNS Death OF FATEHR
CHARLAND OF CATHOLIC CHURCH

ated six years later. At an early
age he decided to enter the priest
hood. and extensively studied the
Zoology. His education was COM
pleted at the Grand Seminary at
Three Rivers, +. @. After finishing
his studies in the above seminary,
from which he graduated with high
honors. he for several years devoted
his time to teaching, and was not
ordained as a priest until Dec. ID,
1875. He celebrated his first mass
at Nicolet College and the second
one in his home town at Richmond,
and in less than two weeks later, on
New Years day, 1876. he celebrated
high mass at the Catholic Cathedral
in Portland, in the presence of a
great congregation and Of many high
church dignitaries.
Father Charland came to Water
Vile on Saturday, Aug. ~, 1850, and
on Sunday, Aug. Is, gave his first
mass at the church of st. Francis de
SALES. BY peculiar coincidence
this date marked the feast of st.
Augustine, one of the four principal
feasts that are observed by the Ursu-
line Sisters, whom Father Charland
was later to be instrumental in
bringing to Watervile.
The field to which Father Char
land was sent was hard one and
commanded a great area with Wa
terville as its center. The new priest
saw that assistance was necessary if
effective and efficient work was to
be carried on in this district and in
response to an appeal Rev. Father
Walsh was sent in a month from
New Hampshire, later being fol-
lnxuoI hy kothpY. Simon 1f
time there has always been more
than one priest in the district. The
first mass in Waterville under Father
Charland numbered 76 people out of
q very large Catholic population.
and from this small. number the
church has rapidly grown and eX-
tended until there are often five or
six hundred to a mass and a days
attendance of sometimes over three
thousand.
Under the guiding hand of Father
.Charland in 1856 more property was
added to the church. and in 1892 at
cost of nearly $4,000 he furnished a
convent and boarding school for the
Ursuline nuns. He always considered
that his service to the church in the
line of schools was the browning
achievement of his life In 1895 rec
tory was built costing $4,000, and this
building with its spacious varanda
and balcony and its wcll-lighted rooms
has been the home of Father Charland
for nearly so years.
Father Charland, like many other
priests, has made a pilgrimage to
Rome. and paid to the holy father at
the Vatican the faithful homage of a
loyal priest of the church. and while
on his journey he even went farther
| than the eternal city, as he visited
Palestine, Jerusalem. and toiled up the
sacred steps Of the Via Dolorosa. The
trip and the experience resulting from
' it Father Charland always thought was
one Of the high lights in his religious

Present COburn Flag

At the morning Chapel exercises
at Coburn Classical Institute yes

presented to the school by the
Dorothy Dix chapter. Daughters of
Veterans of Watcrville. The pres
,cntation speech was made by Miss

crs of the local chapter. it's patriotic

gent of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution. Mrs. Otto n. Lar
sen, president of the local chapter.

the honor and respect with which
the flag should be regarded and the
ritual for its use and display.
DR.. T.. c. Whitemore accepted the
flag on behalf of the trustees of the
school and the whole school family.
In his remarks, DIR. WhitemOre said
that the. gift was appropriate to a
school such as Coburn which had
at one time for its principal Eliza
Parish Lovejoy. the Maine martyr
for the freedom of the press. DR..
WhitemOre also referred to the fact
that several sons of the famous old
school had been in the old sixteenth
Maine regiment at the Battle of
Gettysburg and had divided tho regi-
mental flag into several small pieces
when they knew that they were fac
ing capture or death, rather than
loose the precious banner. He also
spoke of what the flag meant in '9S
and in the World War and what it
should mean in the future of the
world towards universal brother
hood and peace.
Principal Drew r. Hawthorne,
whose father gave four years ser
vice in tho Civil war. spoke feeling
ly and gratefully for the masnificence
of the gift to Coburn. The school
