After laboring valiantly for 16
months and worshiping at grea; dis
advantage for large portion of this
period the elimination of the labors
of the Priest and Parish of the
Church of Our Lady of the Angels
Church of this city was brought to a
successful fruition Wednesday, May
10, 1926, when the 100000 structure
erected to replace the building de-
stroyed by fire Christmas morning,
1924 was dedicated to the service of
God with most impressive services by
Rt. Rev. Jos. Bush, Bishop of the
Diocese of St. Cloud, assisted by 45
visiting priests, in the presence of
almost the entire personnel of the
Parish and hundreds of others.
The day was bright and cool and
long before the time set for the dedi-
cation people began to arrive singly
and in groups to witness the event.
1t is very unusual for the Bishop
to Pontifcate outside of his own Ca
thedral church but Bishop Busch con-
scented to celebrate Pontifical High
Mass in the dedication of the Church
of Our Lady of the Angels. The Of
ficers for the Pontifcal High Mass
were:
Celebrant: The Right Reverend
Joseph F. Busch, D. D. =
Presbter Assistant: The Right Rev
erend Monsinger c. Thiebaut.
Deacon of the Mass: The Reverend
T. F. O'Connor.
Subdeacon of the Mass: The Rev
erend Fred Hinnenkamp.
Deacon of Honor: The Very Rev
erend Joseph Willenbrink.
Subdeason of Honor: The Rever-
end Hubert Gundermann.
Masters of Ceremonies: The Rev
erends S. J. Schirmers and William
A. Renner.
The visiting priests met the Bishop
and his assistants at the Parish house
and escorted them to the church where
they entered and blessed the Affairs
and other church vestments and the
entire inside structure. They then
marched around the outside of the
building and blessed the exterior, the
ceremony being most impressive as the
priests in line continually 'chanted the
Litany appropriate to the occasion,
On reentering the building the Pom
tifcal High Mass was celebrated. Dur
ing the celebrating of this Mass Bishop
Busch delivered a brief scholarly adj
dress which impressed all those who
had the privilege of hearing him on
this occasion.
Rev. FIR. Gruenwald of St. Cloud,
probably the best posted churchman
on MEDIEVAL and modern church arch
itecture in the Northwest stated to the
Herald editor that there was not an
other church in the Northwest COM

Cold Spring Leads Stearns
County's Granite Industry
Sixty Per Cent of All Structural
Granite Sent Out of State Manu-
featured There

The average resident of Stearns
county takes it for granted that the
headquarters of the granite industry
of Stearns county is st. Cloud. Of
course the st. Cloud newspapers con-
vey this impressions.
A couple of weeks ago the Herald
editor visited Cold Spring and while
there Ferdinand Peters piloted us
through the plant of the Cold Spring
Granite Co. and we were amazed at
the immensely of the plant.
Mr.. Peters is president of the
company which was organized five
years ago when the Rockville Gran
lite Company was taken over. The
corporation is owned by 81 Cold
Spring citizens. The Cold Spring
Company are the originators of inch
slabs and sawed steps; the most eco
nomical designs of structural granite.
Mr.. Peters stated to the Herald edi-'
tor that 60 per cent of all the struc-,
tural granite shipped out of Mime
sofa came from the Cold Spring
plant, and that IL per cent of all the
structural granite used in the United
States Is furnished by this company.
Until less than year ago the Cold
Spring company were manufacturing
structural work only. About that
time a quarry of 81 acres of granite
most beautiful and unusual in design
and very appropriate for monument
work, located in the edge of the viii
lage of Morton, Renville county, was
purchased and the Cold Spring Com
pany are developing splendid mon
ument business.
Any resident of Western SteaRns
county in the vicinity of Cold Springs
will find visit to the plant of the
Cold Spring Granite company inter-
esting and instructive.
