Solemn High Mass, followed the dedication services, during which the Bishop delivered an eloquent address and the St. Joseph College choir rendered very appropriate music.

Wayne; Kroeger, of Logansgjrt; Dickman, of Dicina, O.; enedict, Thomas and Florein, of Collegeville; Weber, of Earl Park; Ganzier of Kentland; McCabe, of St. Bridgett, Ind. and Rev. Berg, pastor.

Father Borg and the Remington people are to be congratulated on the noble efforts they put forth in the building of this church and the success with which they met.
