One Hundred and Seventy-three of the

The bishop arrived the evening be
fore via the Nickel Plate from Ft.

guest of Father Stachowlak.
Previous to the ceremonies at the
church the children who were to be
confirmed, and the rest of the school
children, together with the members of
the church societies, met at the school
and marched from there to the paro
chial residence where they were met by
the bishop and priests who were to as
sist In the morning's ceremonies. From
there they went to the church where
high mass was sung by Father Stacho
wiak's assistant. Father Kaprlnski.
Bishop Alerdlng preached an impres
sive sermon and in which he compli
mented Father Stachowiak on the big
alns ln his parish, praised the new
parochial residence and showed great
satisfaction generaly with al lthat Is
being acomplished in this parish.
After mass he conducted the Episco
pal Visitation and then the sacrament
of confirmation was conferred. Peter
Grzankowski acted as sponsor for the
boys and Mrs. Zltelna for the girls.

SCHOOL IS
EDICATED
bishop was to speak. The visiting
clergymen all had seats within the
sanctuary.
Bishop Alerdlng took "Education" as
his theme telling of the necessity to
render substantial support to the
school. He extolled church education
over secular education, saying that the
latter was all right as far as it went,
but It did not go far enough. A purely
religious education Is not sufficient, no
more is a purely secular one, contended
the speaker. The best education, ac
cording to the speaker, was one that
combined both these .elemnts or train
ing. The bishop paid high tribute to
Father Lauer and the good work he is
doing in East Chicago, and exhorted
his people to work with him.
Following the address the congrega
tion, headed by the clergymen, filed
out of the church and over to the
school building, standing outside while
the simple ceremony of blessing the
structure, both outside and in sprink
ling the walls with holy water, was
performed by the bishop, accompanied
by the priests present.

Lauer, the local pastor, there were
present Father H. M. Plaster and hlj
two assistants. Rev. Bodina and
