Mars Hill Services Are Set For Tomorrow

Sister Josepha (left) and Sister Ursula kneel in the chapel at St, Vincent’s. hospital where a pontifical high mass will mark their golden jubilee Wednesday morning.

Sisters Josepha and Ursula Still Active at St. Vincent's,

By EMMA RIVERS MILNER The Times Church Editor Leave behind the glare of city streets and step into the cool, calm chapel of St. Vincent’s hospital, any noonday. "You will see a group of nuns kneeling at their devotions. Three times daily, they gather for special prayers, their faces framed by a wide winged headdress of snowy whiteness, the impersonal blue habit of the order of the Sisters of Charily billowing over the pews.

The voice of Sister Andrea, hospital administrator, leads. strong

and meaningful, while the other sis-

ters respond, employing the age-old words: “Pray for us! Pray for us!” Some of the nuns gaze devoutly ahead at the white and gold altar while others slip the beads of the rosary through their fingers.n All offer petitions for world peace and for forgiveness for the sins of mankind.

Schedule Program Two of the number, Sister Josepha

and Sister Ursula, are now celebrating the 50th anniversary of their entrance into the order. Special masses in the chapel Wednesday, with distinguished members of the clergy in attendance, and a program of entertainntent presented by the nurses Tuesday evening, are events scheduled for the golden jubilee.

The Most Rev. Joseph E. Ritter,

bishop of the Indianapolis Diocese, will pontificate at the solemn high mass at 10 a. m. Wednesday, and the Very Rev. J. J. Cronjn, C. M., of St. Louis, spiritual dire 3 50 order, will deliver the sermon. Elmer Steffen, K. 8. G., will direct the music of the mass for which Miss Helen Shepherd will play the organ.

Dooley, before her investiture, was born in St. Louis and brought up in" ‘New Orleans, She seems proud to call herself a southerner .and speaks with a bit of an accent although she has worked in the office at St. Vincent's these 32 years. Prior to that, Sister Josepha was a teacher in a school of the order in San Francisco where the earthquake of 1906 was the outstanding episode of her life. She describes this major vividly, never hesitating for a word, just as if it happened yesterday. Regalls Earthquake She recalls how most of the city, including her school, was leveled: that the Holy Communion was given her and her associates in a dramatic moment in a hallway before they fled the burning building: and how the priest did not forget

led such a full and busy life, first as a nurse, and later as a sister superior in a hospital, that she feels that she does nothing now. She “only” visits all the patients in big St. Vincent’s hospital and goes about Indianapolis spreading cheer

among the poor in their homes. She came here three years ago having begun her religious life in New York state, going afterward to Florida and then to Texas where she spent the last 39 years. Last week, a Catholic paper in Waco published a eulogy of Sister Ursula praising her long years of service,

Remembers Epidemic

The influenza epidemic of 1918 and a smallpox epidemic stand out in Sister Ursula’s recollection. In Austin, Texas, in 1918, tents were pitched on the grounds of her hospital to accomodate the soldiers from nearby army camps, stricken with “flu.” The work done by these two veteran nuns is part of a varied program of educational and welfare program carried on by their order. Sisters of charity also ¢conduct schools, orphanages, day nurseries, homes for the aged, infant and insane asylums, all over the world, reflecting the spirit of St. Vincent de Paul who founded their order in 1630.

Sgt. Ernest Robertson of Ft. Harrison will speak at the meeting of the Methodist Youth fellowship tomorrow at 7:30 p. m. in the ASBURY MEMORIAL METHODIST church.

Real Estate by Flood of '13

This is another of a series of biographical sketches of Indianapolis realtors.

The flood of 1913 washed George T. Whelden out of the railroad business. While the Indianapolis & Cincinnati Traction Co., of which he was general passenger and freight agent, was rebuilding its bridges, Mr. Whelden, both to pass the time away and bring some money in, took a flier in real estate. , He has been flying ever since, and is due next : year to soar to Sa - the pinnacle of Mr. Wheld fame—the presidency of the Society of Residential appraisers, the national organization of which he is now a governor and first vice president.

Acts as Advance Agent

During that first season his crews operated in Illinois, Missouri, Iowa and Michigan, taking in such cities as Decatur, Rockford, Davenport and Grand Rapids. It was his job to go to each city in advance and arrange for advertising, to put up an office tent on the subdivision which was to be glorified and remain for a week to show the other crewmen how to sell lots.

60 Acres In 3 Days

In Davenport they sold 60 acres of lots in three days, all for cash. After that strenuous season | throughout the Midwest Mr. Whel- | den settled down in his home town, Indianapolis, and remained for 10 years with E. W, Chailee, except during the world war, when he was

Second in importance to this experience, was the influenza epidemic of 1918. St. Vincent's was so full that beds were placed in the sunparlors and every other available spot. And Sister Josepha was kept very busy at her office records as more and more new patients crowded into the hospital, She came here in 1913, the year of the great flood, when the hospital was on its old site at South and Delaware sts. About a year later, it was moved to the new building on Fall Creek.
