habited waste of sagebrush, mesquite
and desert hill, but 200 years ago it
was the center of thriving mission,
Indian settlements and busy desert
crossroads. The Papago Indians had
settlements here, and It was for them
that the Mission San Xavier del BAG
was created in 1920. The name sug-
gests the reason for the settlements,
since del BAG refers, In native language,
to a place where there is water.
Though the church is minus the or
nate stained glass windows, the lofty
Gothic spires, the enormous dimensions
and costly embellishments that char

two blocks from the meeting place of
the house of bishops. great mass
meeting for laymen. The lay delegates

dioceses the messages that will be pre-
scented.
The speakers will be Right Rev. Will
liam p Remington, Bishop of Eastern
Oregon, who will certainly bring virile
atmosphere to the meeting, and Mr..
George Wickersham of New York, one

the remaining missions of Arizona, New
Mexico, Texas and California.
St. Xavier belongs to the Moorish
style and was built of brick and stone
in the form of cross, with the tram
sept forming on each side of the nave,
and with chapel about 20 feet square.
There is only one nave, which is divided
into six portions marked by as many
arches. Above the tranSept is cupola
extending about SO feet from the ground.
Various frescoes and paintings adorn
the walls, most of them products of ma
tive are, though a few of them were
brought from Spain in the eighteenth
century.
San Xavier fourished until about
$780, when the cry of independence
was heard all over Mexico, the country
to which this region owed allegiance at
the time. Thereafter it suffered sadly
from various revolutions or from want
of aid until Spanish secularization
placed all missions under civil control
in 1921.
