Military Ordinariate Chaplains to Honor Memory of
 First Local Chaplain Killed in Present War

teristically he gave of his time to all. During his furlough he preached in this church his last parochial sermon. That sermon is still remembered. He spoke of his boys" and was happy to note that the American boy has found him. self not only physically but spirit ually as we'll" He called upon Americans at home to drop the veil of hypocrisy, stating that they could not give lip service to vir- tue and keep faith with their fighting men," A true priest-sol- dier, he was able to say of the soldier in the army, He is doing his part and it is up to the people at home to dedicate and pledge themselves to the preservation of these same ideals for which we in the army are prepared to die, if necessary"
 When his regiment moved out, the soldier-priest went with it, to Mississippi, to San Francisco, and across the broad reaches of the Pacific. There, period of inaction, discomfort and sub-tropical heat and rain did not in the least, damp en his enthusiasm or idealism. He saw all things through wide open eyes, and worked among his men with increased zeal. His letters home sparkled with his zest for life and his love for the work of the Master. For months all was we'll. Then, like 8 bolt out of the blue, into his home, as to so many other American families. came the terse communications from the War De- partment: First Lieutenant Neil Doyle died of wounds received in action in the South Pacific area"
 His priestly life was spent in &C., tion for God: he died in action for God and Country.
 Priest. Soldier. Hero. One of the first to enlist, and the first from this diocese to offer his life on the battlefield. Truly in many ways, the words of the spirited St. Paul are applicable to him: II have fought a good fight, have finished my course, have kept the faith" He took none of the enemy with him, but those who fought and died at his side, he brought to God. Like the Galahad of his boyhood days, Lieutenant Doyle has kept untar- nished, after thirty-fiv years of life his sword of the Cross. He has, given the final salute of the true soldier of Christ and has received in turn from the King Himself the Kiss of Eternal Peace.
 For many Father Doyle needs no eulogy, none of them closer or more loving than his fine Catholic parents. and his sisters, one 8 Lieutenant in her own right. Even in their pride, which all of us would like to share little, it is hard to be the parents of a hero who died in action. Yet, they may rest assured, that the boy who be- came a shining Knight of the King of Kings will seek immediately from Him courage and strength to bear them up in their glory and their grief.
 Father Neil Doyle, Lieutenant Neil Doyle, you held two great commissions, and you fulfilled both of them. Rest in peace.

Twenty-two hundred Masses for the late Rev. Neil Doyle, first Wa terbury chaplain killed in action with the U. s. Army overseas in this war, are to be celebrated for the former assistant pastor of the Church of the Blessed Sacrament according to a letter Bishop Mau- rice F. McAulffe of the Hartford Diocese has received from Rev. John F. O'Hara, c. s. c. of the Military Ordinariate in New York City.
 Father O'Hara's letter in full fol- lows:
 Dear Bishop McAuliffe:
 We have heard with deep regret the report that Father Neil Doyle has died of injuries. No word has reached us-either positive or negative, but from 8 report that came to us from Hartford, I take it that the notice of his death was official.
 Father Doyle was very good chaplain, and he will be sorely missed by his men. I have looked back over his record for the past two years, as shown by his monthly reports. He gave well over eighth thousand Commun- ions-and his Confessions were all ways more numerous than his Communions.
 have said Mass for the repose of his soul, and I am applying from the treasury of the Military Ordinariate thirty additional Masses. The chaplains have res bonded well to our request that they offer the Holy Sacrifice for every priest who dies, This will mean twenty two hundred Masses for Father Doyle.
 With cordial good wishes, I am
 Devotedly yours in Dno.,
 JOHN F. O'HARA, c. S.. c.

0: Are Harvest Festivals cel- ebrated by all Protestant

0: Are Harvest Festivals cell ebrated by all Protestant Churches?
 A: No. Some Churches, the Reformed and Lutheran and oth- CTS of North European back grounds have continued to cele- brate the Harvest Festival (which may be held from August to Nov- ember), but in other communions this practice has been all but abandoned, or the emphasis has been shifted to that of general thanksgiving for national bles- sings, with but minor reference to the bounties of the harvest.
 o: What is the origin of the term "Israel' as applied to Juda- ism?
 A: Israel was the name given Jacob after wrestling with the an- gel (Gen. 32:29) and was applied as the collective name of the 12 tribes. It is used in Jewish litur- gy as applying to the whole peo- pie and was adopted after 1860 as a form of appelation similar to the term Jew.
