AUGUSTINE’S CHURCH NOTES The occasion of the State Court Foresters meeting was one long to be remembered by each member in particular and by all who had the pleasure to attend. The regular meeting took place at the appointed time and all routine business was attended to. Saturday evening nearly all local members met with the st£te officers for a special meeting in which many topics of interest to the order was discussed. Following this there was a social session at which refreshments were served. The celebration Sunday began with a solemn high mass chanted by Rev. Maurice Ehlringer, assisted by Revs. Bernard Condon and Leo Spornhauer as deacon and subdeacon. The college choir, under the direction of Rev. Justin Henkel, sang tffie mass, which was rendered very correct according to the Catholic liturgy and therefore most beautiful and inspiring or devotion. The pastor. Rev. C. Daniel, addressed the congregation, taking for his text, “Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord; he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments.’* —Ps. TIT-1. He spoke of the humble foundation of the church, its great progress in spite of the persecutions from without and within the fold in the past, and of its present flourishing condition. Proving that this great triumph was made possible only by the firm belief of man in God, in religion and in His divine institution, the church. This firm belief inspired them to delight in keeping the commandments and making the necessary sacrifices and to practice charily to man not for humanity's sake but to practice clraritv to man for God’s sake. In conclusion he urged the congregation to follow the great saints of (he past in their firm belief in God and religion and to make the necessary sacrifices in the upbuilding of God’s holy cause here on earth and to practice charity to all men, not for man’s sake but for God’s sake.

After the services at the church the ladies of the parish served an elaborate dinner at the school hall at which the Foresters and their friends did justice, all pronouncing it the best ever. The ladies realized SB7, which will go into their new church fund.

At this time the celebration was transferred to the college auditorium and campus, the program beginning at 1:30 o'clock with Rev. I. Rapp presiding. P.ev. Ignatius Wagner, D. D.. president of St. Joseph college, in a few but well chosen words welcomed the Foresters as well as their friends to St. Joseph and assured them that the college faculty felt honored to be able to assist them in their celebration.

Next Rev. I. Rapp in an eloquent eulogy of the recipient of the degree of the Legion of Honor, Hon. E. P. Honan, addressed the assemblage. He spoke of the great work of the recipient in behalf of the Catholic Order of Foresters as well as of his staunch citizenship and true Catholicity, concluding by decorating the gue.st of honor with the emblem of the “Legion of Honor.” Thomas F. McDonald, high secretary, Chicago, “told of the great work of the Foresters, and also that much of this work was due to the unrelenting efforts of Hon. E. P. Honan assuring that through bis work Rensselaer became known not only in Indiana but throughout the states.

John A. Herzog, state chief ranger, of Mishawaka then told of the different positions held by the recipient of the "Legion of Honor’* in the Catholic Order of Foresters, in the high court and in the state court, of which he is sti’l a member. To show their appreciation for the work done for this court as a member and to show in what high esteem he is held among them Mr. Herzog presented him with a beautiful gold watch. Mi* 1 . Herzog, in concluding the ceremonies, thanked the local court, the St. Augustine’s congregation 'and most particularly St. Joseph’s college for their great hospitality shown the state ofiicers while here, assuring them that never before at any gathering did he feel such genuine welcome and pleasure than at this onet Following the program at the auditorium there was a ball game between the C. O. F. and the college teams. The college taking with them the honors of the day. The band concert took place during the game. Many visitors from the neighboring towns were in attendance.
