DIOCESE OF LEAD Capa: During the past week the ceremony of dedicating the new church at this place was performed by the Right Reverend Bishop, accom panied by Fathers Lynch, Padula and Millard. In his sermon Bishop Law ler announced that his two visits to this town within a month were in tended to prepare the way for the first pastor, Rev. Francis P. Monighan, who was recently ordained in Buffalo, N. Y., and who will arrive in a few days. The fart that the people are to have a priest of their own, with Mass every Sunday, is a blessing for which they have prayed for years. A class of adults and children was con firmed after the dedicatory services. Draper: A committee of the Cath olics of this locality met the Right Reverend Bishop on his recent visit to this town and asked for a perma nent pastor. They were assured that their request will be granted within a few weeks. Without the zealous care of a resident priest the neighborhood would soon abound in fallen-away Catholics. The intermittent attention given here during the past fifteen years as a mission has caused the congregation to decrease considerably. Van Metre: The whole population of this village and neighborhood, non Catholics as well as Catholics, turned out on the occasion of the dedication of the church Wednesday, the first church they have had here. The Bish op also gave Confirmation. Hopewell: Now that the peopl* have a church and that they are to enjoy the opportunity of hearing Mass twice a month on Sundays they feel that they are no longer abandoned. The Bishop was here last week to bless the Church and to confirm tha children. There was a time, and un« fortunately it lasted for years, when they never had Mass on Sundays and when they worshiped in the home of one of the parishioner*.

There passed away at St Jose#!i*B Hospital, Mankato, a man who though little known to the general public, has left a wonderful impress for good on the generation for which he work ed, the Rev. Edward Stack. He died on June 2. It was the will of God that his approach to death should be through the long, low archway of pain and suffering, and through all the weary way his patience and resig nation were admirable. For about eight years he was un able to attend to the duties of a parish, yet when death came he was not forgotten by the people among whom he formerly labored, and from early morning, on the day of his funeral the people from Mapleton streamed in, until the great church of SS. Peter and Paul was filled to its capacity. The Office for the Dead was chanted by his brother priests. Rt Rev. Monsignor Devlin of Austin officiated at the solemn requiem Mass, and Rev. Father Griffin, the present pastor of Mapleton, preached a beautiful and instructive sermon. After the services the body was taken by his own old parishioners to Good Thunder where it was laid to rest among the people for whcm he had worked so long and faithfully. Father Stack never did any of those brilliant things that call for the acclaim of the public, but his holy and humble life was filled with the little flowers of human kindness and good deeds that only those who were very near to him knew any thing about. His tender consider ation for little children, his gentle ness to the sick, his hidden chari ties, and above all his loyalty to his friends makes his memory a benediction to the people. One lit tle story told since his death is like a ray of light on that hidden life that was his own true self: He was at St. Joseph's Hospital, a patient himself even at that time, which is many years ago, when an infant a few days old was brought in. An effort was made to save the feeble little life that did not seem to take any roots in the world. The weather was very hot and sul try, and Father Stack, who always seemed to know what was going on in the hospital, went to the doctor and said: "You take the baby and put it in my room, where there are two big windows. I can go home tonight, I was going home soon anyway, and I'll pay the difference in the cost of the room, and its folks needn't know anything about that" This act is one of thousands of the same kind that he has to his credit in the bank of God's mercy. The touch of the brotherhood of man is in the fact that the child was unknown to him and belonged to neither his race nor his creed. May the Great Father meet him with a smile, in that strange city to which he is gone, and may we, who still remain, profit by his kindly example. LAY RETREATS AT TECHNY Lay retreats, both for men and women, will be conducted by the Fa thers of the Society of the Divine Word during the summer months at St Mary's Mission House and St Ann's Home, Techny, 111. namely for men at St. Mary's Mission House in English July 28-31, August 4-7.

In the recent election over the Home Rule Bill, the Irish nation has again refuted the claim that Ireland is di vided. With the exception of four Unionist candidates from Trinity Col lege, in the twenty-three Southern counties, no election was held, as only Republicans were nominated. In the six counties of Ulster, arbitrarily cut off by the Bill, the contest was waged most bitterly. In two of these coun ties anti-Unionists prevail. In only four of the six counties the Union ists have a majority, and in only one city, Belfast, is this an appreciable majority. The opponents of the Union in the six counties of Ulster are rela tively greater in numbers than the opponents of independence in the whole of Ireland. Election returns of 1918, 1920 and 1921 show that Ulster outside of Belfast is not Unionist nor is Ulster Protestant. The latest Brit ish census shows that, excluding Bel fast, there are 397 more Catholics than non-Catholics in^ Ulster, wfeil* in south- »pf£^^^ w^wmF^yr^ff^^ff-}f:^r^^^W^i$,^r^F^'rw^^, PRAYER BOOKS White and black bindings. FIBST COMMUNION GOODS We have just received and placed on sale a splendid stock for both retail and wholesale orders* Gifts for First Communicants, such as nice cold scapular lockets, crucifixes, framed pictures, statues of Our Savior, th« Blessed Virgin, Bt. Joseph. St. Margaret Mary, and many others. The first part consisted of scenes from Dante's life. The picturesque play of the Florentine children and the charming dances which wer part of the gay life of Florence, and which were so attractively reproduced on the moonlit campus made this pageant one of the loveliest dramatic pro ductions ever given at Saint Clara. The second part presented pictures from The Divine Comedy. The plan of this greatest of Christian poems was adequately suggested by scenes from the "Inferno," the "Purgatorio," and the "Paradiso." A strikingly ef fective scheme of lighting gave atmosphere to the various parts. The students are to be congratulat ed upon the success of their splendid tribute to Dante, the loftiest of poets, and the "central man of all the world." At the solemn high Mass celebrated on Sunday, June 5, the Reverend James M. Reardon, of Saint Paai. de livered the baccalaureate sermon. Patrons and friends gathered from neighboring and distant states on Tuesday morning, June 7, to attend the Commencement Exercises. His Grace, the Most Reverend James John Keane, D. D., of Dubuque, pre sided and conferred the honors. The theme of his felicitous and convinc ing address was the nobility and intrinsic worth of Christian education. The Saint Clara College and Academy Alumnae Association held its biennial session at Sinsinawa from June 10 to June 12. The large and enthusiastic group of women in cluded representatives from Boston to Saint Paul, Omaha, and intervening points. They discussed problems of vital interest to the college and to the co-operative work of women in various parts of the country. The Rev. Doctor David O'Hearn, rector of Saint John's Cathedral, Milwaukee, delivered the alumnae sermon, taking for his theme "The Valiant Woman." Miss Helena Harrington of Sallx, Iowa, who received the degree of Bachelor of Arts in June of this year, is the Saint Clara College Faculty appointee to the scholarship to the Graduate School of the University of Wisconsin. This honor and privilege is annually accorded Saint Clara College by the Board of Resents of the State University. CATHOLIC SUMMER COLONY ON ITCRYJEIGHTS, WIS. Under the direction of the Catholic Colonization Society of the United States the whole of the Court Oreilles Peninsula on Lake Court Oreilles, Wisconsin, has been laid out as a Cath olic Summer Colony. The Colony is named Victory Heights. Through the magnificent forests which cover this peninsula, fine drives have been laid out which skirt the shores of the lake. Lying from fifty to ninety feet above the levelt of Lake Court Oreilles the Colony site com mands a splendid view of one hun dred miles of glistening water and fine woodland. Within an hour's drive from the Colony there are a score of lakes which offer the finest fishing to be found anywhere. Serviceable cot tages are being built, each with a fine piece of sand beach of its own. A ohagel wbera Diviaa service will be First Communion Certificates White and dark colors. in beantifsi colors. PLEASE REMEMBER THE PLACE CATHOLIC ART AND BOOK SHOP 10 W. 5th Street, Betra St Peter and WaU Streets. SAINT PAUL. NWiisou. ern Ireland there are over 250,000 non Catholics. Unless England's solici tude for minorities is arrant hypocrisy, how can she surrender to their fate the Protestant minority in the South, and again, the strong anti-Unionist minority in the six counties of Ulster? What is this Unionist minority, cen tered in the city of Belfast? The re port of the American commission in vestigating conditions in Ireland states that the Belfast Unionists are the wealthy manufacturers and a group of workers dependent on the manufac turers who arouse religious prejudices to create division among the workers. In 1914 these Unionists workers sign ed the Covenant against Home Rule at the dictation of Sir Edward Car son who said, "If the English people throw us over we will enroll ourselves under the greatest Protestant nation in the world, under the German na tion" and they so loved the Union that they armed themselves with Ger man guns to fight the British Empire. In 1918 the same group voted for the Union, and in 1921 they are voting for Home Rule at the dictates of their English leaders. They are consistent only in their religious prejudices aroused by their employers for politi cal purposes. SJIIT CUM COUEGE swsiim, wis.
