be, Q faith shared and certified by our Lord, will not prove frustrate.
 o. How should . Protestant conduct himself in . Catholic church in this country during services and at other times? If he follows the example of his Catholic neighbOrs in the exter- nal ritual, he may feel both awkward and insincere. But to disregard their traditional Ob- servances might be. interpreted as irreverence and disrespect.
 A. A Protestant authority answers: There need be no un- easiness on the part of one who attends the services of @ litur- gical church. whether Roman Catholic, Episcopalian or of any other order, even if he is who'll ly unacquainted with the ritual. His presence is sufficient evi- dence of his interest in the ser- vice and his reverence for the house of worship. Insofar as the service is indicated in the rubric, or he is guided by the presence and conduct of a friend, he may profitably par ticipate in the exercises. If these are lacking or insuffi- cient, he will be entirely within the proprieties if he merely re- mains as an observer. without any participation in the order of the service. All the churches welcome to their ministries peo- pie who are wholly unfamiliar with their customs, but who ap- preciate the privilege of worship through any form.
 Q. What Is the attitude of the Catholic Church toward science?
 A. A Catholic authority an- swers: The Catholic Church has no quarrel with the proved facts of science, which she &C., cepts on the authority of vari- Ous specialists. She is not fin the world to teach men the dis- tance b. tween the earth and the sun. the action of nitric or sulphuric acid. or the compost ton of the rocks on the earth's surface. Tn the name of sci- ence. however. the Church warns us not to accept the ere rone0us guesses of some scien- tists as positive facts. The Vatican Council teaches plain ly that the Church Is not the enemy of science and that faith cannot contradict reason.

LIN EVERY CITY and town in America-in clubs
and homes and on the streets-PeoPle are talking
about Kelvinator-the new refrigerator.
Those who have put off buying any electric re-
figerasor- have waited for new developments
have found in the 1886 Kelvinator the answer
to every question conservative buyer could ask.
Owners of automatic refrigerators are replacing
them with new Kelvinators, not because the old
ones are WON Out, but because new developments,
new discoveries, new inventions now offered for
the first time have, by comparison, made former
nengerators obsolete, wasteful and old -fashoned.
The 1886 Kelvinator gives you Visible Cold. 1t
maintains low Temperatures in the food oompar-
ment to new and amazing point of accuracy.
And, for the first time, Builr-In Thermometer
cells you in unmistakable figures how cold it is.
You know food is being properly preserved, health
properly protected.

Resident of Beaver Falls Recalls
When 1t Was Thriving I oavn of 800

The days when Beaver Falls,
north of Redwood Falls in Rem
vile county, was thriving village
with a population of 800 and every
prospect of further growth were
recalled last week in a letter to
the Minneapolis Journal written
by H. B. Satterlee, now of North
Dakota.
Mr.. Satterlee's letter said, in
part:
When I had reached the grand
and glorious age of II, blessed
with the companionship of broth
ers and sisters older and younger,
we moved to Beaver Falls in the
autumn of 1886. The place was
then the county seat of Renville
county. If you tried to find the
village today, you would search in
vain, for it does not exist. Cold
smith sang of "sweet Auburn, low
eliest village of the plain" but I
wonder if there ever was a thriving
town that has so completely dis
appeared as the once lovely little
village in the Beaver Creek valley.
Here in 1886 was lively hamlet
of some 800 souls.
Surrounded by hills on every
side, no sight of the town of Bea-
yer Falls came to the traveller un-
til he came suddenly upon the val
ley from the prairie roads. Beaver
Creek wound it's devious ways al
eng the edge of the village, to join
the Minnesota river two or three
miles distant, only hesitating in
the mill dam to turn the big water
wheel of Anderson's grist mill.
Anderson was canny Scot who
loved Bobby Burns and was espe-
cially conversant with "The Cot
ter's Saturday Night" He had a
good tenor voice and sang in the
church choir.
l think the little school house
still stands and 1 shall probably g
back this summer and leave an ex-
cuse for being absent so long. The
perpetual game Of scrub in
front of the school may have de-
veloped some big-team players in
later years. Skiing with barrel
stave skis was a winter sport that
l shall never forget, and there are
other memories of school days
that are not erased by the inter-
vening years. I recall one kindly
man, a Mr.. MCGOWAN, who invar-
iably handed me nickel or a dime
every time l met him. The first
and only boys wagon I ever own
ed was bought with these nickels
and dimes, and 1 remember the
the day when l informed my bene-
factor that the money he had Civ
en- me had been saved and thus
invested.
One Of several promises of a
railroad came while we lived
there. 1t was to be called the
Three Falls Line"-Sioux Falls,
Redwood Falls and Beaver Falls,
and was to branch off the Great
Northern at Willmar. The line
was surveyed through Beaver and
followed the hills along the east
side of town. It was built later
through St. Cloud, Willmar, Gran
lite Falls, Pipestone and on
through to Sioux Falls. Thus
burst the last bubble of hope that
the little town had of getting per-
manently on the map. The insis-
tent demand for the removal of
the county seat and the ultimate
carrying out of the scheme was
the last straw, and the village of
Beaver Falls is a place of men,
cries only.
