to every German,'TCommcClobet ohne

others of the same kind elevated the
spirits of the worshipping congrega-
tion to the highest pitch of religious
enthusiasm. The hymn which the
first communicants sang immediately
before Holy Communion was arrang-

German air. The words were as sim-

Come to me, remain forever, come, O

A VISITOR.
I Fresh from the seminary. Father
I Brke was, from a practical stand-
, point, devoid ot experience with a In

' conversant with every phase of both.

He waritoo true a logician to argue
that temporal endowments, even ot a

a shock when he looked into those
sadly bright eyes.and intuitively read
in their depths the wild plea ot a

First M*si Celebrated In the New
Gnnch of St Boniface.
Sunday, June 11. was ap eventful
day in this community of Scotland.
Texas. For the first time the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass was celebrated
in the beautiful new Cherch ot St.
Boniface. Rev. R. L. Klino celebrat-
ed High Mass and preached a splen-
did sermon appropriate to the occa-
sion.
The day was marked with unusual
festivities. At 8 o'clock a processiou
wan formed at the schoolhouse, com-
posed of the Scotland Cornet Band,
little girts tn white, altar hoys and
the pastor, who 'escorted to the -
church a class of six boys and four- erected church of Our Lady ot Grace
teen girls who received their First
Holy Communion during the course
of the .JUaiis. In the afternoon the
children solemnly received the scapu-
lar and Benediction was given, which
. dosed the Impressive services of the
day.
The new church Is one of the most
, elaborate and handsome edifices tn
the surrounding country. Judging
, from the co-operative effort and en-
, thuaiasm of the parishioners thus
far shown we may safely conclude course to Mary, for
that the new parish will be among
the leading ones of the diocese within
a few years. R. A, G.
ami the rectory On the front porch
of the latter an altar was erected
ivliere Benediction was given. The
sister,' spacious veranda was tastefully dec-
catne the low response. After a brief i<>ruted by the young ladies ot the par-
silence Sister St. Rose resumed: "She
went on tlie stage and her remarkable
success blinded her to her duties as
a Catholic. You have doubtless
heard men speak ot La Belle Reine."
Father Brice nodded. She was the
greatest actress of the day. the talk
ot two continents.
"She waa La Belie Reine—tny sis-
ter. I wrote many appealing letter*
to her. but to no effect. In the last
one I sent her a duplicate of the
bookmark I painted for you, and beg-
ged tor an Interview. She was on
her way to me when---"
Again her voice broke. Father
Brice waited. Controlling her emo-
tion the Sister continued:
"Biie was crushed beyond recog-
nition, but. I identified her by the lit-
tle bookmark which was clasped tn
her dead fingers.”
As Sister Rose ceased speaking
the wonder of it all dawned on Fath-
er Brice. The little ribbon of silk that
had flown to the feet of the famous
actress, baring on Its white surface
the mute appeal of a sister saint for
a sister sinner, had at last touched
tlie heart of the wayward girl. The
duplicate which she bad received had
doubtless been tossed aside after an
impatleitt glance. When io! hundreds
at miles away, its counterpart had
flown to her from a priest’s hrevtary.
The 11 tin’s Jove was surely storming
Sleavun for the "baby” sister. The
' sob, the tears and ardent kiss which
ish. Special mention must be made
of tlie otd oil paintings, the private
property of the pastor—"Ecce Homo"
over 300 years old, a "Mater Dolor-
osa" of 102.3, a "John Nupomucene",
of 1705. The pastor had obtained
these antique paintings years ago
from au old monastery of his native
country In Hohenzollern, Germany.
At the close of the service the pas-
tor announced that he would antici-
pate the feast of the Sacred Heart on
the following day. Monday, inviting
the first communicants to again ap-
proach the holy table. The reason
be gave was because on the next day
he was going to leave, going north to
rake medical treatment in some sani-
tarium.
