OBSERVE FEAST i OF ST. BLASE I ' || Hundreds Take Part In Observance At St. Mary’s Catholic Church The feast of St. Blass was appropriately observed in the St. Mary's Catholic ( huren Sunday. The blessing of the throats took place following the 7:30 and 9:45 masses and after the holy hours in the afternoon, Hundred of men .women and children received the blessing administered by Rev. rather J. A. Seimetz. Rev. father Otto Peters and Rev. Father Vincent Ehinger, who asztatel at the services Sunday. St. Blass is known ns the protector of the throat., “St. Blass was the bishop of Sebnste, in Armenia, and the great Virtues nnd sanctity of this servant of God were attested to by many miracles. D< oples flocked to him for the cere of bodily and spiritual ills. As a result of a persecution begun by order of the Emperor Ucinins, the saint was seized and cast into prison. While on his way there a distracted mother, whose child was choking to death from a bone lodged in its throat, implored his intercession. Touch by her grief, the saint offered up his prayer-:, and the child was cured. Since that time bis aid han often been effectually solicited. Though credited with many cures, that of the throat seems to have survived the longest. Refusing to worship the false gods of the heathens. St. Blass was scourgd and finally beheaded in 316. dying a martyr for the faith. “It Is not expected necessarily that cures must come from the practice of having throats blessed on this particular day. There is no particular efficacy In the candles that touch the throa,t. but in so far as we have faith Is the blessing going to help us In so far as it exicts pious disposition In us can we count on the saint hearing our prayers and asking God to assist us. This blessing may be reparded in a sense as a sacramental but just so far as we have faith that this saint san speak to God ami God will hear him. is this blessing effective. God has worked wonderful , things through His saints in all ages of the faith contrary as some se< in to be to the laws of nature. But God, Who made nature can do all things, there Is no limitation to His power. By reason of His sanctity. St. Blass through hir. Int« r< ession with God in our behalf, is aide tq render us assistance, hut the power cornea from God Who hears the petition." — — —-** — Records Os County Officers Approved The reports from the state board of accounts concerning the examination of the books of County Auditor Martin i Jaberg, County Recorder Joe McCon | netl, ex County Treasurer Hugh Hite. • ex-C-ounty Clerk John T.

8080 INSTITUTE WAS A SUCCESS First Farmers’ Institute Held There Saturday; Plans For 1925 Although the attendance was not as large as hoped for, owing to the many counter attractions on Saturday, the first annual farmers' institute at Bobo last Saturday was very successful, and arrangements are being made for next year's event. The morning ami afternoon sessions were held In the school building, but the room was not large enough to accomodate the evening crowd and the meeting was held in the Methodist church. Splendid addresses were delivered by F. M. Kern, of Grant county, and Mrs. William Goldsmith, of Dekalb county, the two speakers who addressed tho other institutes in the county last week. Both spoke at the morning and afternoon sessions. In addition to the talks, there were several fine musical numbers. A basketdinner was enjoyed at noon.
