Flemish Catholic Art Treasures 1 * in Great Display at Antwerp

(St. Peter’s Church, Cripple Creek) Rev. Francis Dietz, Pastor.

Cripple Creek and Victor, as the centers o f the world's greatest gold mining camp, look upon the present year to be one o f greater production than ever before in the mining game.

The recent Plutocrat claim discovery on Mineral hill has created excitement uncqualed in Cripple Creek in the last fifteen yeare. While the enterprise is still an infant it proclaims the fact that mineral in great quantity may be in this section, which heretofore has never been exploited. Should this claim continue favorably the coming year m il see many other developments on a large scale opening this virgin territory.

The lease o f the Midget mine since the first of the year is only an indication o f what ‘may be expected throughout the year on many of the other mines which have been idle for years.

The management of the Portland Gold Mining company is optimistic over the values o f the ore to be encountered in the ore shoots, and if their predictions materialize the Portland will be more prosperous than ever before. According to State Mine Inspector M. J. McCarthy, the Portland has low grade ore enough opened on the different levels for surely the greatest benefit and running at the present capacity for the next ten years.

The Stratton rlease, which has expended more money for development work in the past two years than any other outfit in this district, has every indication o f opening a real gold mine within the year.

The sensations in the west end of the district in Tenderfoot, Mineral and Gold Hill indicate great developments in these possibilities for this year. Mines which have been abandoned for years are reopening and new prospects are becoming un- thought-of producers, while the old producers continue to open mineral

belts which were long thought worked out.

The Cresson Consolidated Gold Mining and Milling company continues its production of better than 10,000 tons per month, and an average value o f about $15 per ton.

Today there are forty-five mines operating in Teller county, not including the numerous prospect outfits. The mines along with the Portland cyanide mill, with a capacity of I about 20,000 tons monthly, employ nearly 1,100 men. Cripple Creek district still offers the best wages, better living conditions, transportation and working conditions than anyother district in the state. With all baby

indications for-thc year the district should rightfully continue to merit its name, “ The Greatest Gold Camp in the World."

The able Catholic pastor at St. Peter's parish. Cripple Creek, is the Rev. Francis Dietz. Victor’s Catholic people have as their patron St. Victor. It is a mission attended from Cripple Creek.

Every sacrament has an outward sign and an inward grace. A little

[- girl who had not listened very care- - fully to the teacher’s instruction was

asked the outward sign in Baptism. “ Please, teacher,’ ’ said she, “ the

CRIPPLE CREEK . . . . . . COLO.

The history o f Arvada, one of Denver’s most charming suburbs, dates bacs as far as the history of Denver.

Forty years ago Benjamin Wadsworth to o f a squatter’s claim before the land was surveyed and built a log cabin vhich still stands and which prominent citizens are making an effort to pn serve as an historical relic. The to^vn, which was named for Mr. Wadswort I'a daughter, Arvada, was incorporated in 1905. Its first mayor was Dr. Epchard Russell, who served in that chpacity intermittently for eleven years and who still resides there. Jake Nolan was the first town marshal.

The first church services were held in the old Grange building, which still standp, and in 1889 the first church was built.

The firsjt school was built in 1878 to which additions have been built. Now Arvada boasts of a new high school built in 1920 at a cost of $105,000 and a school population of! 800. i

During ihe last ten years Arvada has made her greatest progress. The population from the last census has grown froih 900 to 1,300.

There is a sewer system also that IS modern in all respects. Then, again, the jresidences in Arvada are a source af pride to the residents. The Catholic people o f Arvada take a just pride in their church building, the Shrine o f St. Anne, which was dedicated Sunday, June 25, 1922, pnd is one of the

Exhibition Reveals Glory of Centuries Past

By Noel Foster Unquestionably the most interest

ing feature of the International exposition held at Antwerp in the present year was the exhibition of Catholic Flemish art. This exhibition was housed in two buildings, permanent in form, especially erected for the purpose. One of these buildings is to be used as a church after the exposition and the other as a school for a new quarter of the city which is now being developed. The church is a splendid structure. With the exception of the ancient Cathedral at Antwerp, it is the finest church edifice in the city. It was dc.signed by Mr. Smolderen, chief architect of the exposition.

The school building adjoining the church contains twenty-five rooms, and, like the church, is built of brick; tan in color.

The Flemish art section contained exhibits of all o f the arts which have added to the glory of Flanders throughout the centuries, namely, painting, sculpture, engraving, art- prints, music, furniture, tapestry, artistically worked out iron, copper, silver and gold, as well as popular arts. The exhibit in the church was confined to art objects in metals and wood, and to a few paintings which were strictly religious in character. Among the pictures exhibited were a number o f famous masters. A great number o f the panels painted by Juan de Flandes for Isabelle, the Catholic queen o f Spain, were among the most valuable exhibits, fifteen of these panels having be^n lent by King Alfonso, one having been forwarded by the Louvre and another sent from Holland. The Doges’ palace, of Venice seVt an “ Ecce Homo’’ by Quentin Matsys, and San Donato’s church of Genoa the “ Worship of the Wi.se,” by the same painter. “ The Nest Thief’ ’ and “ The Storm,’ ’ by P. Breughel, were shown by the courtesy o f the Government museums of Vienna. The Vienna museum also lent Rubens’ “ Portrait of Himself With Sword.’ ’ The Pitti palace of Florence lent “ The Four Philosophers." Van Dyck was represented by many paintings, including four portraits of Lady Louis Mbuntvatten from the collection of the late Sir Ernest Cassel, and the “ Apostle’s Head,” from the Duke of Devonshire collection. The mnesums o f Copenhagen, Budapest, Lyon, Vienna, etc., contributed valuable pictures by Jordaena, DaVid Teniers, Gonzales, Coques, Suster- Dians, and many others.

The exhibition o f illuminated books o f the mediaeval and later periods probably was the finest which has ever been collected. The treasures •hown have never been surpassed, and to many thousands of those who saw the exhibit it revealed beauty of a kind and quality which they did not enow existed in the world.One could

have spent days in the contemplation of this wonderful exhibit alone.

Famous Bookbinders’ Works on Exhibit

The Flemish also distinguished themselves in the artistical binding of books. It is not so long ago since the learned Englishman, James Wealc, who made such thorough investigations into the history of Flem- yh art, drew attention to these bind-

3ings and their authors. There was an interesting scries at this eixhibit bearing the names o f famous bookbinders o f Bruges, Ghent and Louvain. In some cases where the pames were missing, the bindings were identified according to the material employed.

SACRED HEART CHURCH Bcv, A. C. Kieffer, Pastor.

Cheyenne Wells is the county seat of Cheyenne county, and is a j)ros- perdus and growing town on the Union Pacific railway, 178 miles southeast o f Denver, and seventeen miles west from the Kansas state line, surrounded by a fine farming and stock raising country, with dairying a prominent industry.

Cheyenne Wells has a fine court house costing $150,000, and also a splendid parochial school, which is taught by the Sisters o f the Holy Cross.- The highest of educational standards are maintained at this school. The town has a fine watersystem, the water being 98 per cent

All lines of business are well

Fleming Catholic Art(Continued Prom Page 2)

having been lent by the courtesy of the Louvre museum, and another can purported to have been given to Rubens by the Archduchess Isabelle. Sculptured Altars and Statues Many

One could have spent hours examining with admiration the many sculptured altars and carved wood statues that were shown. But it was an inlpossible task to examine in detail, in one visit, all the beautiful designs, paintings and sculptures which fascinated with their artistry and beauty.

An exhibition o f such wonderful ecclesiastical art as Antwerp offered to its visitors this year cannot but have a widespread and deep influence on the Church art of the future. One could not see these displays of artistic things to adorn the Houses o f God without feeling that the Catholic artists who lived and worked in the fourteenth, fifteenth and six-

' tenth centuries certainly had a much higher inspiration than those who are now contributing to the adornment of our modern churched

In this article on ecclesiastical art .as exhibited in Ant^ferp, I cannot forego the narration o f an experience which has to do with a high example of that art, but which is somewhat personal in its na^re. My visit to Antwerp this year was not my first visit to that city, I had been there more than 30 years ago. Everything that I had seen on the occasion o f my first visit had faded from my mind but one. The single remembrance I had o f the city was o f a painting which I had seen in the ancient Cathedral o f the “ Head of Christ,” hy Leonardo da Vinci. This painting, which, if not the only painting on marble, is, one o f the few o f any note that have been made on that material, left such a vivid impression on my mind that all through the intervening years I had no difficulty in recalling it. I knew exactly— well, hot exactly, as yon will learn later on, but approximately — where it was hung in the church. When I told my wife, who accompanied me, that this pointing was the only rememoerance h had of my visit to Antwerp so many years ago, she expressed a great desire to see it.

So we took a cab and went to the Cathedral. As we entered the church from the side door I told her that the painting by da Vinci was hung from a pillar on the left hand aide o f the church as you enter from the front, and suggested that we walk across to where I knew we should find it. However, her attention was arrested by a magnificent painting of

, “ The Descent Prom the Cross," by Rubens, and she suggested that we work onr way around the back of the center altar and reach the place where the da Vinci was hung in that way,

I was glad that we did so because we were thus enabled to see the very beautiful wdr memorial painting by Johannessen which adorns one of the side altars back o f the choir loft. Forty thousand franca were raised by public shbscription to pay for this painting by Johannessen. It shows the Virgin with the Child in the center, and in front, to each side, King Albert and his generals in attitudes o f reverence. The marvelous blue of the gown o f the Virgin contrasted with the brown of the military khaki produces a strikingly artistic effect,

. The faces o f the Virgin and the Child are beautiful, and the figures of the King and his generals are all excellently done. The painting is worthy to rank with the masterpieces of Rubens, which are the glory of the Cathedral.

When we had circled the altar we stepped for a few minutes in front o f the main altar to admire Rubens’ wonderful painting o f “ The Assumption,” which is placed above it. Then we walked to where I thought the da Vinci picture hung. It was not there. There was back of the great columns

a side altar iu front o f which there wei* two stands o f votive lights. We knelt at the altar for a moment to say a prayer and then left the church.

As we were going out, the sexton at the door stopped us and asked, "Did you enjoy your visit?” "Yes,” I said, "we enjoyed very much seeing the wonderful paintings by Rubens and tile war memorial picture by Johannessen, but I was greatly disappointed because 1 did not find da Vinci’s picture.of the ‘Headpf Christ’ What happened to it? Has it been taken to a museum?” “ No,” he replied, "it is just where it always was. Come, I will show it tp you.”


pure,represented, and the business and professional men are progressive and enterprising. With good schools and churches, and such conditions as mentioned, the growth of Cheyenne Wells is well assured, and no doubt it will be the largest town in this section of the state. The population is now about 850, and is growing fast. The altitude o f Cheyenne Wells is 4;i77 fe e t

The' retail establishments are o f the best, and with good banking fa duties, hotels and a homelike air about the city, it is a good town in which to work and live.

The city has strong banks with ample capital, and there is a fine hospital located here, the Dr. Kauf- mann hospital, which is a modem, non-sectarian institution, with registered nurses and every convenience that an up-to-date hospital should have. It cost $20,000, and is a credit to the city.

Sacred Heart church at Cheyenne Wells is a handsome church structure, and the congregation and parish are in charge o f Rev. A# C. Kieffer, who also attends the missions at Kit Carson and Wild Horse.

Burlington,G>lo.| I Stratton, Colo.STRATTON MISSION

Rev. Edward S. Muenich, Pastor. Burlington is the county seat of

Kit Carson county, and is located on Ijhe C. R. I. & P. railway, 165 mUes east o f Denver, in the heart of the dry farming regions of Eastern Colorado. Fine crops of wheat and other small grains are raised here, and corn is beginning to be one o f the staple crops. Cattle raising has long been one o f the principal occupations o f the residents o f this count, and Burlington is the shipping point for most o f the stock raised.

The city has a modern municipal electric light plant and waterworks. There is a fine $30,000 court house. In the year 1927 the amount received for wheat, com , barley and other feed crops, produce, cattle,horses, hogs, poul(;ry, eggs, shipped from here was more than $8,500,000.

THE NAMES OF SAN TA CLAUS

As Christmas draws near, the name of Santa Claus becomes vividly present in all children’s thoughts. It }S often on the lips of their parents, too, with this and that admonition to be good!' Santa Claus is also called St. Nicholas, and, sometimes, Kriss Kringle. It is interesting to find out where he received these names.

St. Nicholas, according to Webster’s new international dictionary, was a Bishop of Myra, Asia Minor, about the year 300 A.D. "He is the patron saint o f Russia, and of seafaring men, thieves, virgins and children.” From these multifarious duties, St. Nicholas seems to have selected one by which to be best known. “ As the bearer o f presents to children on Christmas eve his name has been corrupted to Santa Claus,” or, as it is occasionally spelled, Santa Klaus.

Kriss Kringle is a quite different name. It comes from the German “ Christkindl,” meaning the Christ Child, dr a Christmas gift, a diminutive of “ Christkind."

ST. CHARLES’ CHURCHRev. Mward S. Muenich, Pastor.Kit Carson county lies in the great

plains section o f Eastern Colorado, the eastern boundary being formed by the state o f Kansas. Its area, is 1,381,760 acres, or about 130,000 acres more than that of the state p i Delaware. It is generally a level prairie, with an altitude varying from 4,100 feet in the east to 4,700 feet in the west One of the principal towns o f the county is Stratton, which is centrally located, and making a ral>id growth, and is known as the best ^hipping point between Denver, Colot., and Belleville, Kans.

The climate is similar to other sections o f Eastern Colorado. The county lies in what is known as the rain belt o f Eastern Colorado, thd average rainfall varying from fijfteen to twenty inches.

Kit Carson county is considered in the best com raising district in the state, yields averaging from twenty to forly bushels to the acre.

When it is purchased with judgment, land is always worth the money paid for It, and is bound to increase in value. It cannot be destroyed or carried away. It requires only industry, to make it profitable and productive. ‘

The surface is generally level prairie with some valley lands along the streams. The soil is principally chocolate^ loam with clay sub-soil. There is yery little adobe or gumbo. It is extremely fertile, easy to work.retentive j o f moisture, and underproper farming methods produces excellent yields.

There ik little or no waste land in any part-^as the land lies almost level. Thei intrinsic value of this land is shown by the crops developed.

Hog ]^8ing has been developed steadily in! the past fifteen years into a profitable industry and a large number o f hogs are shipped out o f Stratton to the markets every two weeks, most o f the farmers having a herd of thoroughbreds. The cost o f growing hogs and preparing same for market is less! in Eastern Colorado than almost any other part o f the 'United States.

There are ninety-seven public schools in the county, emplowng 120 teachers. The high schools o f Stratton, Seibert, Flagler, Vona and Bur- l in ^ n each offer a full four-year course, while the first and second centralized: rural schools in the south

ern part o f the county each offer two years o f high school work.

The population o f this county has increased very rapidly since 1900. At that time there were 1,580 people in the county; in 1910 there were 7,843; the present population is approximately 12,000.

The principal industries are farming, dairying and stock raising. General farming has been developed very rapidly in the past ten years, and dairy farming is steadily supplementing stock raising as a secon<tory industry.

The principal crops are small grains, corn, milo, kaffir, sudan grass and similar forage, pinto beans, alfalfa and garden vegetables. Alfalfa here, as in other sections o f Colorado, is generally planted in rows and cultivated until a good stand is obtained. This crop is growing steadily in importance.

Water for domestic purposes is obtained from wells 24 to 160 feet. There is a strong flow o f so-called "sheet water” and wells sunk to this are pumped by windmills and engines, furnishing a considerable part o f the* water for livestock and in some cases a limited amount for irrigation.

St. Charles’ church and congregation are ably attended by Father E. S. Muenich, who also looks after the missions o f Burlington and Kirk,

“ There, darling,” said the bride of a few months. “ I made a hand-embroidered penwiper for your birthday.”

“ But, sweetheart,” sighed the young husband, “ you don’t need penwipers for the modern fountain pen.”

“ Oh,” said the bride, “ but I bought you a leaky pen to go with it.”

Sexton Lead* Way to MasterpieceWe followed him into the church,

and he walked over to the left hand aisle to the chapel at the altar o f which we had knelt to pray, dnd then he pointed up to the picture which hung on the inside o f the great col umn facing the altar.

My mistake had been that I thought it was on the outside of the column and not so high up as i : was placed there being a step or two up from the aisle to the aitar.

The picture placed where it was did not get the light o f the sun which streamed through the windows o f the church, and in order that we might see it more ciearly, the sexton took one of the lighted votive candles and held it up to the picture. Then we saw it in all its wonderful beauty. The hair o f the Savior appeared so crinkly that the thought came to one that it would be possible, if it were not profanation, to run one's hand through it. The nose, eyes anc lips are so wonderfully done that as you gaze at the face it actually seems to take on life. We looked at it for many minutes, wrapped in admira tion of the wonderful art of the master painter as well as the beauty and tenderness o f the countenance

Then we left the church.As we walked on, the thought came

to me that my experience in the Cathedral was symbolic of the experience o f many Christians. In emotional stress caused by remorse lor sin or desperation over misfortune; they take themselves to the quiet of the church seeking the peace that God alone can give. They pray earnestly. But their prayers are selfish They do not offer their love to God Their mind is wholly taken up with their craving o f favor for themselves Their fervid appeals seemingly are in vain. They are not comforted. They do not feel the nearness and the compassion o f the Divine Presence. They have a feeling o f desolation.

Then, forgetting themselves for the moment and merely thinking of their disappointment and loss in not feeling the nearness of God, suddenly they are made spiritually aware ,o f His closeness. Through the light of faith they envision His countenace. They see Him looking down upon them forgivingly, tenderly. The storm o f their emotion is stilled. The thunders o f their fears cease. The clouds o f their apprehension disappear. The radiance o f hope illuminates their minds. Their souls are at peace. They have found Him whom they sought, and they walk forth with happiness again enthroned in their hearts.

.pital of an empire of 2,621 square miles. It is an empirewhich lies level as a floor with thousands of rich, black acres, unsurpassed for farming and grazing.

It is a country which was made by thtf plow, for the pioneers of Washington county found that all this land needed was tilling and utilization of the natural rainfall to make it productive. It is in the center o f the Western rain-belt, receiving an annual fall o f 18.1 inches— the greatest recorded in Colorado.

Summer tillage methods hold a fortune for the Washington county farmer, it has been proven. Ranchers last year raised as high as 40 bushels o f wheat to the acre, and the government experimental station harvested as high as 63 bushels with no water e z c^ t what fell from the heavens.

"Here is the land o f promise for the farmers." There are 12,000 per- son$ in Washington county, and that means this declaratioa would have been made 12,000 times if the census takers had cared to put the question over there this year.

"Here is the Eastern Kansas and Nebraska o f fifty years ago,” say the folk of Akron. “ Here is every potentiality which existed there when land could be purchased for from 810 to $20 an acre."

Well water is plentiful all over the county and pure lithia water may be brought in from 20 to 160 feet in depth.

For the last twenty years the U. S. dry land field station has been in operation at Akron, in co-operation with the Colorado state experiment station. Tests constantly are being made in connection with dry land agriculture, such as crop rotations, variety testings with nains, fruit, ioveet trees and shrubbery. The results of these experiments are on file at the Akron station and have proved valuable to the farmers o f the district.

Cattle feeding is becoming more and more a factor in the county. Fed on home-grown barley, com and hay, supplemented by cottonseed meal, Washington county cattle have been making records on the market. One herd recently put on this feed for 84 days gained an average o f 1.72 pounds a day and sold on the Denver market for $16.60 a hundred, making an average labor profit of $27.32 a head.

Dairying, hog production and poultry raising are growing constantly in importance in the county.

•And what o f Akron? Akron is a farming.center and naturally stresses its schools. The grade school system is declared to be equal to any in Colorado, or o f the United States for that matter. Nine branches of the high school system are placed at convenient sections o f the county where students may attend classes and still live at home on the farrti. Five hundred students are enrolled in the high schools o f the county under a corps of fifty-five college-trained instructors.

In the city o f Akron there is a' Catholic academy, which offers common and high school training to students o f that faith.

The Catholic Church is represented in Akron with a fine church building dedicated to St. Joseph, with Rev. Joseph Fleck as pastor.

A CANDLE IN THE W INDOWAn old legend says that on Christ

mas eve the Christ Child goes throughout the world, carrying a bundle of evergreens. He stops at every door, whether o f palace or hovel, seeking a welcome. Sometimes He comes in the guise of a beggar asking alms. When He finds a home where there is neither love for God nor charity for men, the Christ Child does not enter. Those who are eager for His coming and who have a warm welcome prepared for Him place a lighted candle in the window to guide Him on His journey. In this way, it is said, the custom o f placing a lighted candle in the window on Christmas eve originated.

ST. PATRICK’S CHURCH Rev. Leonard Meister, Pastor.

Colorado— considered a wonderful mineral producing state- -now produces more than lour times as much in agricultural products as it does from all o f its mines and quarried combined. For.the last dozen years Colorado has led all Central and Middle Western states in production per acre o f wheat, oats, barley, hay and potatoes. (Extract from U.

CHRISTMAS EVE IN SPAINThe wanderings o f the Blessed

Virgin and St. Joseph on Christmas eve, before they found shelter in the stable where our Blessed Lord was bom, are still commemorated in Spain, where they have posada, or hostelry processions, marches on Christmas eve from house to house. Children carrying images of Mary and Joseph lead the way, followed by a mixed crowd, all bearing tapers, who halt at door after door to ask admission. “No response is given to their appeals until they come to the church, where the first summons is immediately answered by a voice from within inquiring who is there. The spokesman replies: “ It is Mary, the Queen o f Heaven,, who begs a place to lay her head; the night is dark and cold and she is a wanderer from far Galilee.” The doors of the church are thrown open and the procession enters, to be led to a side altar prepared to represent a stable with a manger, dimly lighted by a single lantern. Here all kneel and recite ffae last prayers of a prescribed Litany, and as the final petition dies away, a little boy with wings fastened to his shoulders and in bis arms an image representing the Holy Child rushes in and lays his burden in the crib. The tapers arc then lighted and carols o f welcome to the world’s Redeemer are sung.

THE NAME OF CHRISTMASChristmas is Christ’s Mass— the

Mass offered in honor o f the birth of Christ

It is only in the English language that the Birthday o f Christ is known by that name.

In all other languages it is known by the word signifying birthday. Noel in French, La Navidad in Spanish, II Natale in Italian, Dies Natalis in Latin. In old English it was known as Yuletide. "The time of the feast”

Christmas is really a Catholic feast day. For many years the Puritans condemned it as a heathen festival and refused to allow it to be celebrated, and many Protestants today do not keep the Feast o f Christmas.

^ H o ly o k * MiMtonRev. Leonard Melsjicr, Pastor.

Uaxtun, often referred to as the “ Corn Crib” o f Colorado, is located in the \Vest end o f Phillips county, and is the second largest town in the

j county. There hhs never been a time i since the first farms were operated i that com was not produced in quantity large enough to permit of export. At the height o f the com shipping season it is common for the export to run 200 to 300 ears per month. This is in addition to the large quantities used by local feeders.

Haxtun has a good grade school, as well as a fully accredited twelve-

• grade high school, which is an integral part o f the county high school system. These fill well the elementary educational needs o f the community.

,The community spirit in the local ity is-of very high standard. Several co-operative enterprises are being conducted by farmers of the com- muruty and several flourishing Parm- ers’ *unions locals are functioning In the vicinity.

Practically all lines o f business are well represented in Haxtun.

(By Rev. Jdmes T. Cotter), Historical Sketch

We have been asked to give a brief sketch o f the history o f St. Andrew’s parish for the Christmas edition af The Denver Catholic Register, After coroparati^ study o f the accounts iecpived from the earliest witnesses, many of whom are still amongst us, we shall endeavor to give what we consider a fairly accurate summary o f the origin and development o f St. Andrew’s parish at Wray.

Before entering on our subject, however, it seems necessary to narrate briefly the story o f the original foundations o f Wray and its community, for among the very first settlers of the community established at Wray, were some who shortly afterwards became the first members of St. Andrew’s congregation. -

The town o f Wray, county seat of Tuma county, is situated in the eastern part o f the county, which adjoins the states o f Nebraska and Kansas. Cattle men from El Faso, Texas, established themselves in the territory as early as the year 1873, and among them several Catholic names are mentioned. Father Cullen from McCook, Nebr,, the first priest to visit Wray, is known to have attended to the spiritual itheds of the early Catholic settlers previous to the year 1885. In the interval between 1373 and 1885 many more settlers had arrived in the territory. There were scanty beginnings o f a town in 187T-78, but it was not until 1886, with the great influx o f settlers, that it was formally established. The county seat was laid off July 27,1886, and the name “ Wray” is said to have, been given fOr one o f the early settlers o f that name. The cify is beautifully situated on the Republican river, 166 miles east o f Denver, 375 miles west o f Omaha, at an elevation o f 3,600 feet, and on the main line o f the Burlington railroad. On the north it is protected by a long stretch o f hills, and on the south by picturesque line o f buttes, an immense plaih o f splendid wheat and com land. At the present time Wray has a population o f 1,800 people and is showing signs o f further growth.

But let us return to our immediate subject. The Catholic congregation at Wray was formally organized in1887. From that year until 1891, Father Hickey attended to the spiritual needs o f the parish, first coming from the Denver Cathedral, and subsequently, from Brighton. The

GAMET»ROTECTION MAKESSTATE HUNTERS* ARCADIA

The ceaseless activities of federal- state game protectors is making Colorado a hunters’ paradise.

Game animals are. flourisinng in the seventeen refuges set apart by the state for their protection and propagation. There, unmolested by the firearms of humans, the animals likewise are being preserved from the vicious and carnivorous mountain lion, king o f predatory beasts.

A staff o f trained lion hunters is sent out each year by the federal bU' reau o f biological survey, under Stanley P. Young, with instructions to clean out the game preserves of the lions.

The work is done in co-operation with the state board o f livestock inspection commissions. The United States Forest service lends assistance and stockmen o f the areas involved aid splendidly.

The hunters use skilled dogs, either a cross between a "walker” or a bloodhound, or a type akin to the small Kentucky foxhound.

Mountain lions reap an expensive harvest among other animals, notably deer. They also kill sheep and cattle by the hundred. Each adult lion, Mr. Young estimates, destroys $1,500 worth of stock in a year. Each k^ls an average of one deer a week. One hunter accounted for thirty-two mountain lions on the Royal gorge refugr in three years. That is one of the notable achievements of the state federal campaign.

COST OF SCHOOLSAbout 250 years ago, tuition for

school children in a New England town was 67 cents a quarter.

Another town paid the teacher $33.40 for his year’s work and the pupils, paid “ 4 pence per week for such as are in the Primer and other English books, and 8 pence per week to learn the Latin grammar, writing and casting o f accounts.”

Later this teacher’s salary was increased to $130 per year and the provision adopted that the town would make up the difference between this amount and the tuition fees of the pupils.

Immediately the . tuition fees dwindled so fast that the town final- ly voted to allow the scholars to go free.

4 Another town raised the salary of the teacher to $83.50 a year— $26.60 in . cash and the balance in wheat, com and rye.

In 1928, the cost to taxpayers for each pupil in the public schools of100.000 population pr more was $113.69.

In 1928, for cities o f 10,000 to30.000 population the cost was $93.12 per pupil.

In 1928, for communities o f 2,500 to 10,000 population, the cost was $81.32 per pupil

i

Holy Sacrifice o f the Mass in those early days was offered in different places— the home o f Edmond O’Donnell, actually the first settler in the present town o f Wray; the home o f Andrew Hoy, after whose patron saint the church is named; the section 'house «at Eckley, and at the local school building. The fir$t church building was erected in 1891, and dedicated in the fall o f the same year by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Matz of Denver. An addition was made in 1914, and was materially remodeled and enlarged in 1928. At this time a beautiful Gothic altar was donated by Mr. and Mrs. P. J. Sullivan of Denver, former members of the parish for many years, at a cost o f approximately $1,000. At present, the church has accommodation for 200 people, and this is exactly the total number of souls in the parish, which extends over the eastern half of Yuma county, and covers an area of 1,500 square miles. Formerly, it was considerably larger. From those few scattered noble pioneer families back in the days o f 1891 who, out of their frugal means, made it possible for Father Faber to build the first humble church, there has been a steady progressive growth in S t Andrew’s congregation, until noWt thanks to the labors o f its many zealous pastors in the past, it has reached the number of about fifty fairiy well established families, very many o f whom are the worthy descendants o f the stalwart pioneers. As yet, o f course, St. Andrew’s is only in its infancy and after those many years o f wavering fortune and sometimes indeed o f material reverses, it is by no means rich in the world’s goods; but it is rich in spiritual things, soundly Catholic, will ing to make sacrifices, and gives every promise of a bright and hopeful future.

The following names are inseparably interwoven with the earliest days o f St. Andrew’s parish. Some are still with us; most o f them have passed to their reward: Edmond O’Donnell, Andrew Hoy, Mrs, C. W, Hudgel, Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Burns, Lavnrence Downey, Tom Downey, Mr. and Mrs. Bernard E. Devlin, Mrs. Margaret Conway, John Emanuel, Mr. and Mrs, Lawrence Brady, Robert Brady, John McCarthy, Cafl Lippert, John Miller, Mr. Moohat, Martin Rice, Fred Stemberger, Paul Storm, John and Mary Tuomey.

After alternating between a parish and a mission for several years, the growing parish has had a resident pastor continuously since April, 1918, and this has proved a very decided factor, both for its material and spiritual advancement. The new church was dedicated by the R t Rev. J. Henry Tihen, Bishop o f Denver, to whom it owes its inspiration, on the Feast of the Nativity o f the Blessed Virgin, 1928. The following priests assisted at the ceremony on that occasion: Fathers Mark W. Lappen, Francis W. Walsh, Andrew S. Di- michino, S.J., John J. Taugher, C.M., of Denver, and the present pastor. Rev. James T. Cotter.

It is 138 miles northeast of Denver and in the center o f a rich agricultural and stock raising section.

St. Anthony’s Parish, Sterling, Colo.Rev. Chas. H. Hagus, Pastor

Rev. Wm. Zolp, AssistantIn the pioneer days, Sterling was

« niiflsion of Brighton. The Rev. John Brlnker is sfill remembered by the older people o f the parish. His successors gave Sterling and the northeastern part of the state their attention for some years. The Rev. B. J. Froegel, now pastor o f Greeley, took over the miSsions in 1904. Under his direction a little church building was bought and served the mission for several years. The congregation was very limited in numbers, but an addition was made to the little church, which then served until 1911.

In September, 1908, the Rev. P. U. Sasse, now pastor of Fort Morgan, was appointed ns the first resident pastor of* Sterling, which then became the center o f the missions and stations of northeastern Colorado. In 1911, the present chu -ch building was erected under the direction of Father Sasse. A year or two latef Father Sasse completed the construction of the rectory. With the number of children increasing, the Sunday school became inadequate for the instruction of the children in their faith, and the Sisters of St. Francis of St. Francis, Wise., were invited and urged to take over the direction of the school. Accordingly,

property for the school was purchased on the Comer o f Third and Beech streets. There were three large buildings on the property. One was prepared as a convent for the sisters and another v/as remodeled for schoolpurposes.

The opening day of school found o f children awaitinga larger number

admission than had been planned for but the difficulty wa.s solved by opening a class room in the unused build-' ing occupying the central location.

In the following year, the Rev, Charles H. Hagus was appointed as pastor.' The number of children in-- creasing, a second room was opened for .school purposes in the central building and in a short time both were used for classes. The same year saw the opening of the high school department. Several smaller rooms in the first school building were used for the high school classes, but it became evident that other provisions would have to be made for this new department.

Accordingly in 1925, a spacious building known as the Hinkley residency directly across the street from the ischool was purchased as a convent! for the sixers, who numbered then fourteen. The former convent was then available for high school purposes. The year 192C witnessed a graduation program in the high school. The high school department offers a complete course in academic,

and commercial branches. Th§ school was nccredited to the State university in 1898. At the present time it has "more than 400 children registered in the school, fifty being high school pupils. All o f these children- are under the direction of the Sisters' o f St. Francis, who now number six

teen. In the summer months a new filass room was arranged for the high school and the science department was enlarged. '

There are 260 families in St. Anthony’s. parish, - Sunday Masses are

celebrated at 6, 7:30 (children’s), 8 :30 aiid 10 ;30. . Daily Masses are at 6:30 and 8 o'clock. - Confessions are heard on Saturdays and the eves of feasts from 4 t o '5:16 and 7:30 to 8:30.

IRELAND HAS NO SANTA CLAUS\

\

By Susan RussellGrandmother Ann O’Malley, on her

first visit to America in forty years, does not wish it kno^vn just where she is visiting, and even more so does she want it kept quiet that she talked at all, for she is sure "to tie knots Vith her tongue," if she does talk, she says. But she did talk. She talked about Christmas in Ireland!

She is a typical old Irish mother — a regular Mother Maphree— one •would think the song was written about and for her. Although she is almost 71, she has no wrinkles in her face and the smile that is hers would put to shame that of the Mona Lisa.

We sat in the comfortable home and talked of the land that she “ knows like a book.” “ How did you know I was here— am here, I mean? Well, I know you’re Irish by your eyes, knew it before you said a word, and so we’ll talk about the land that is like a little bit of'hcaven even if it does fight sometimes. What shall we talk about— Christmas? The very thing. Well. . . . You know there is no Santa Claus in Ireland. He is there, to be sure, but he is called Father Cliristmas, and the childer hang up the biggest sock they can find, just like they do here. But . . . over there the stockings are rarely filled with anything but candy and fruits— never with what is wanted.

seas by the Irish. For instance, you, have the ilighted candles in the windows.' Of course, this candle must be the first light in the house on Christmas, eve and it must not be blown out, for it typifies the light of faith. It must bu/n out, if you would have luck the coming year. This-is a very old Irish tradition.

“ The legend concerning it is a very pretty one— but mind now. I’m not tcIJiri’ this for truth. In tl e old land it is told that the lighted candle is placed in the windows for the Mother and her Baby to pass safely through the roads and streets where the poor people live. But if this be true . . . jf this be true, then she never sees

the handsome candles and the wreaths that are in the windows of the homes of tho- wealthy here in America— she does not see many of them in Ireland. But, I don’t know-—I believeshe sees it all, everything that is done to honor her Son everywhere.

“ You know in Ireland we have to make so many of the. things we have — so this brings things closer home to us. It’s the same way aboujt Christmas. For weeks before hand, in Ireland,' the Catholic women are busy making their Christmas candle— the great big candle that is to burn from Christmas eve until Twelfth night, when it will burn out. Those are

Chriitmat Eve in Ireland“ You know there is no Christmas

eve anywhere in the world like it is in Ireland. That’s true now, even though I say it, and Ireland’s my home. It is true in many particulars. , For instance, in Ireland— in Irish homes, ai)d in the hearts of the Irish people, you will always find a strange mixture o f the real and the dream world. You will find that ■which is hard and sane, and you will find, too, that which is sentimental, folk-lore, legendary and wholly impractical. But above all ^sV you will find the faith.

“ So in Ireland, on Christmas eve, it will be holy-like and still, and .people will be goin’ to the thapcl on the hill, or the churgh in the town, and that will be th^cligious Ireland. Ijater on you’ll find the lads and the lassies out lookin’ to see— well, what they ctm find, for it do be said in Ireland that the Little People arc abroad to do good— and it do also be said that Father Christmas is out himself to see who it is that feeds the hungry and brings clothes to them that need them. . . . The Little People— sure I never saw them— nor did anyone else— and I do not want to see them, if they are there, but I have lived in Ireland for many a year and I have yet to hear a Banshee, or to see one of the Little People. There are no more Little People in Ireland than there are fairies in America. But that is folklore Ireland— sentimental if you will.

“ The new Ireland is growing out o f the customs and ways of the old land—getting more and more of the new country, and perhaps in many ways ’tis as well But there is a part o f it— the heart of it, 1 might better say— that will always be the old land while a Shamrock grows there. There arc too many shadows on its hills, too many furrows in its heart, ever to forget the old land. But in the smoke of its now industries, its bigger and better and broader expansion, there is prosperity, too, please God, wood for tho fires, patches for the thatched roofs, clothes to keep the childer warm and food to keep them from being hungry. If it makes a contented Ireland, then . . . well, then all will indeed be well.

Ireland's Christmas Music“ Have you ever heard Christmas

music in Ireland? Well, you have never heard anything like music till you hear the Irish carol singers on Christmas eve. They are not called carol singers there, but Christmas waits. Then, we have no midnight or 5 o’clock Mass. The earliest we have is 6 o’clock. They do be havin' the earlier Mass in the convents, but this is just for the sisters and the priest who celebrates the Mass. Oh, my dear, Irish music is lovely at any' time, but at Christmas— at Christmas it does not seem a part of earth. Irish hearts are full o f music, though often Irish lives are full of woe. But the Irish laugh when they’re cryin' and dance when their feet are heavy. ’Tis the Irish way of not lettin’ the world know.

‘T like to come to your country— America is mighty close to us. We all lovo it, for ’ twas America that stood by the old Ireland in the days o f the famine, and Irish hearts do not forget. America is in our hearts

'and in our prayers.“ Now , . . I'll bet my tongue has

tied knots for me, for I ,always talk too much when I get started. But don’t tell anyone about this until I'm .safe across the sea. Goodby. Yes, I'll be here for Christmas this time— but I wish we w^rc goin’ home to Ireland— you and me.’ ’

Christmas Musings(By Canon Sheehan)

I remain up, for I have to say the midnight Mass at the convent, preparatory to my two Masses in the morning, and as I watch the fire it seems to me that all the delightful ghosts, which that intense and realistic spiritualist called Literature has created, come in and walk in solemn procession before my eyes. I watch them all tenderly, lovingly, as they pass by and look at me with the wistful sadness o f eternity in their eyes, until the convent bell rings out at a quarter to twelve; I pass out into the night. It was a clear, starlight night, which did not quite show all its splendors until I had gone out from the streets, and the full glory o f a winter firmament burst upon my

Sacred Heart ParishHebron, Nebraska

Nicholas Bethscheider sTid family, Anton Willy and family, C. J, Helf- rich and family, Jacob A. Willy and John B. Willy settled in and about Hebron, Nebr., in the years 1869 and 1870, and to the zeal, industry, stronjf Catholic faith and many Tiardships and privations of these early pioneers is due the credit of establishing the first Catholic mission in Hebron in the year 1870. Beginning in the year 1870, Father Bichler of Hanover, Kans., attended the mission until the fall o f 1878. In 1876 under the administration o f Father Bichler the first Catholic church building, 20x30, was erected in Hebron at the intersection o f Union avenue and First street, on lots immediately east of the present Burlington railroad station.

in August, 1911. The tornado also blew down the church steeple. The present Sisters’ residence, a substantial two-story frame building, was erected in Father Merkl's pastorate at a cost of $3,500. The school and Sisters’ residence were erected in 1912 and 1913. Father Merkl was succeeded by Father Joseph Ress until July 4, 1929.

Sacred Heart parish, at present, is a good, flourishing congregation of 90 families, with a membership of 415. The school has 100 pupils under the very efficient tutelage of the Sisters of Notre Dame. The present pastor is Father C. F. Broermann.

Sacred Heart Church, Rectory and School, Hebron, Nebraska

Father Kuppenbender of St. Stephen’s. Nuckolls county, Nebr., succeeded Father Bickert in August, 1878, and served the Hebron mission until July, 1880.

His successor. Father Erlach, was the. first resident pastor' in Hebron and served from 1880 to January, 1885. In his administration the first pari.sh house, a 16x24, one-story frame building, was erected.

On Jan. 11, 1885, Father Erlach was succeeded by Fathers Buchholzer and Kueppenbender, who attended Hebron for a short period, until July, 1885, when they were succeeded by Father Plury. In the latter’s time the church was enlarged and the first parochial school was opened.

Father Boll took charge of the congregation June 27, 1886, a n f remained until April, 1888.

On Jan. 3, 1888, the congregation purchased from Rev. George Lobinger all of block 9, Eads addition to Hebron, for the consideration of $2,240, upon the south half of which the present church and other buildings are located.

He was succeeded by Father A. Petrasch, who was the pastor fourteen years. In his administration the present church, parish house and a two-story and basement parochial school were erected at a cost o f $35,000.

In January, 1907, Father M. M.

^ ?o n , Nebr. iHebron, beautifully located in the

valley o f the Little Blue, was established in 1869. It is the county seat of Thayer and is surrounded by an excellent farming country.

Hebron has fine, wide streets, 'with good business blocks and beautiful homes, fine lawns and gardens. The residents are enterprising and alive to the community’s development. There is considerable paving. There is also a complete sewerage system. The water system boasts o f an unlimited supply of pure, soft water. The city is supplied wdth electric lights and natural gas for heating.

The educational opportunities are outstanding— public and parochial schools and Hebron college and academy.

Five churche.s minister to the spiritual life o f the city. A good- sized hospital dra'ws patronage from surrounding counties.

The court house is one of the most beautiful structures in the state.

Two railroads, the Rock Island and Burlington, and two intersecting highways. No. 3 and No. 81, give convenience to travelers. The Me

ridian highway extends from Canada to the Gulf and its traffic is heavy.

The citizens of Hebron are progressive and cordial, ever ready to extend the glad hand to newcomers, 'vi'ho are most heartily 'welcomed to aid in the upbuilding o f a splendid community.

Rev. C. Broermann is the pa.stor o f Sacred Heart Catholic church at Hebron. The Sisters of Notre Dame have charge o f the parochial school.

Little 4-year-old Evelyn and her mother were going to the country and when near the station started to run- in order to catch the train, only to find it pulling out as they arrived.

Evelyn began to cry, but her mother said, “ Don't cry, darling. We can go on the next train.”

"Y-yes," sobbed the little miss, “ But I’m c-crying 'cause all our r-running’s wasted.”

memoratc, and on which, nineteencenturies ago, the.se same constellations that are now blazing in the heavens looked down and trembled, as the '’angels clove their way between them and made them sing together the praises of the Most High. It was a strange and terrible thought — that those stars looked down on Bethlehem. They saw and wondered, and were still; abyss called out to abys.s, as all the heavens told the glory o f God, and the firmament revealed His wonders. And then came the tremendous contrast! From under the blazing firmament intp tl^ little chapel I came, with its painted ceiling and little human decorations. I pa.ssed the crib, as I came to the altar, and raw— the Child and His Mother! And then, after the jubilant chorus o f the “ Gloria in Excelsis” had died out, came the ever sweet, ever tender word of the “ Adeste.’ It was sudden and striking— the contrast between the universe of suns and this little chapel— between Omnipotence guiding that vast and awful procession o f worlds outside and the same Omnipotence hiding here under the most helpless of all forms. But these things touched the intellect. The moment came when the flood gates of emotion were suddenly opened; I had to suspend for a moment the onward course of the Divine Sacrifice. If was at the awful wordsv

“ Deum de Deo, Lumen de Lurainc, Gestant puellat viscera.”

That word “ puella,” a little girl, placed there in literal opposition, or, rather, real conjunction with Omnipotence, choked me. The sudden descent o f the Immense, the Almighty One, into the feeble and tender embraces op a child-mother, was too overwhelming. It is the suspension of inexorable law in favor of a Divine manifestation of love— all at once.

CHRISTMAS THE TIME TO FORGIVE

There is no time like Christmas to ireld old breaks in friendship. A Christmas card bearing a friendly message o f cheer will do more to soothe anger and hurt feelings than rich gifts. In this day gift giving is more or less perfunctory, but we all send our friends cards, whether we can, afford to remember them otherwise or not. So, loosen up the pride that is keeping your friend from you and send her a little greeting. Send it early, so that she will have an opportunity o f returning your greeting. You will both feel much better inclined on Christmas morning.

Since 1874Our Policies have stood the test of more

than a HALF CENTURY operation in Hebron and its trade territory.

We invite your business upon our past record of efficient and dependable service.
