MICHIGAN ST, DUPLICATE PHOTOGRAPHS MAY BE OBTAINED AT HIS STUDIO years ago, was not considered strong enough to carry an addi- tional school-room which was to be built over it. Both church and school were then under the patronage and the title of St. Alexis, which name, however, never belonged to the congregation that worshipped therein and which, even as far as the school is concerned, is no longer in existence. Mass was said here every Sunday for the people of South Bend and the Indians of the neighboring woods, and once a week for the Sisters of the school and their pupils. Thus hand in hand together started school and church, and the wise pioneers appreciated the fact that the school is the more important of the two. The school received from the beginning a full corps of resident teachers whose kitchen in the rear of the house was regularly supplied by the Commissioner of Notre Dame and who lived in palatial rooms in the garret of the shanty. THE FIRST TEACHERS. Among the first teachers whom a great many old people of South Bend will remember with pleasure and gratitude, and for whom they will, doubtless, breathe an Our Father and a Hail Mary on seeing their names in print, the following may be mentioned: Sisters M. Immaculate Conception, M. Misericorde, M. Peter, M. Faustine, M. Presentation, M. Raphael, M. Circumcision, M. Patrick, M. Emiliana, M. Agatha, M. Clare, M. Anastasia, M. Cyprian, M. Bethlehem, M. Genevieve, M. Lydia, M. Isidore, M. Francis, M. Delphine, M. Assumption, M. Rita, M. Vincent de Paul, M. Justina, M. Albina, M. Bartholomew, M. Anatolie, M. Evangelista, M. Anaida, M. Anna, M. Holy Infancy, M. Margaret, M. Victoria, M. Marcina, M. Cosmas, M. Beniti, M. Visitation, M. Seraphim, M. Urbana, M. Eudoxia, M. M. Osmond, M. Damien, M. Simplicia, M, des Victoires, Μ. Cenacle, M. Irene, M. Donata, M. Scholastica, M. Leocadia, M. Bonaventure, Μ. Carmelita, Μ. Marciana, Μ. Maura, etc., etc., and occasionally a Miss Sullivan, a Miss Aaron, etc. All these were members of the Order of Holy Cross. The majority of them were taught and trained by Mother M. Angela, whose name in the world was Gillespie and who was a cousin of the famous James Blaine, and they were sent forth to impart into the young that spirit of faith, that knowledge, and that superior patriotism had so freely imbibed under the wise direction of Father Sorin and the careful training of Mother Angela. They all taught, some for one, others for several years in the original St. Alexis’ school, up to the year 1882, when the Sisters, at a cost of $5,000.00 and at their own expense replaced the old shanty by the spacious and beautiful school house of the present. The name of Sister M. Martha must be inserted here, as the records do not contain it. She was not a teacher but she ministered to the material wants of the teachers from the beginning and with a short interruption until a few years ago. During the short interruption her place was filled by an equally holy soul, Sister M. Urbana, who went to her reward in 1894. Sister Martha, with her wonderful influence over the Sisters of the school, and her glorious example to the children and their parents, would be with us yet, had she had her own way and had not her extreme old age and a serious malady brought her to the very door of death in the early winter of 1899. Her superiors at St. Mary’s, all of them her juniors in age, determined that she had done enough of hard labor and they gave her an obedience to live in the well equipped infirmary of her community and to pray for those for whom they no longer considered her able to work. Most of these good Sisters have since gone to their reward, and the few surviving members may point, either with pride or otherwise, to a large number of now prominent men and women of South Bend and tell to what extent the latter, in the years gone by, relished the narrow limits of a school discipline which they NO GOODS AT RETAIL 9 0 0 m 0 WHOLESALE NOTIONS, SCHOOL SUPPLIES A SPECIALTY.

In the St. Alexis’ church, which was opened in 1853 and was used for Divine worship until the year 1866, the following Rev. Fathers have taken charge of the spiritual wants of the congregation: Edward Sorin, Alexis Granger, J. Bourget, E. Leveque, P. P. Cooney, Thomas Carroll and other priests of Holy Cross. But these can scarcely be called pastors. They were not resident priests. They all resided at Notre Dame, taught there all week and then on Sundays would do missionary work for St. Joseph’s congregation in South Bend, for the Catholic congregations of Laporte, Logansport, Goshen, Kalamazoo, Niles, Bertrand and other missions the very names of which would, after this comparatively short time, be lost from the memory of a more prosperous succeeding generation if it were not for the Baptismal, Marriage and Funeral records which they so faithfully kept and which are preserved at Notre Dame. Father Sorin, during this time and for many years to come may be put down as the real pastor, who would on Sundays and whenever on week days a priest was wanted, send the one who to him apppeared most available. AN EXODUS. In the year 1859 the Catholic population of South Bend had largely increased, and the people living in the western part of town considered themselves numerous enough to have a church of their own. Father Sorin’s generosity knew no bounds, whenever the honor and glory of God and the cause of religion were at stake, and with his own characteristic promptness he at once encouraged the enterprise and sent a priest to take the matter in hand. This priest was Father Thomas Carroll, then newly ordained and incharge of St. Joseph’s congregation in St. Alexis’ chapel. Whatever his financial abilities may have been, or REV.

In the year 1862 Father Sorin erected a frame building, 18x26 feet on the Lowell Hights, on the place which is now known as the north-west corner of South Bend Avenue and Notre Dame street, to serve as a school for larger boys. Here Brothers Raymond, Daniel, Romuald and Philip surnamed the “Presbyterian” (because he was a lineal descendent of John Knox), wielded the rod several years, and the large boys whom they made good still speak, at this late day, with the fondest recollections, of the school· masterly abilities and the eccentric methods of these early masters. . , The poor Brothers had to walk back and forth to Notre Dame for their board and lodging, and in winter they would carry the wood for fuel on their shoulders from Notre Dame or chop it along the road on their way to school. No wonder that some of the lads who attended school there appreciated the opportunities thus offered to them, and are now prominent business men of South Bend. On the 13th day of September, 1869, Father Frere, then pastor of the new church on the original church property, had th is school house moved from the hill into the middle of the parish, to the very site of the present parochial residence, at a cost of $75.36, and Brother Raymond taught the boys here until March 3, 1871, when Father Demers, a succeeding pastor, sold “la petite ecole a Cottrell” for $100, and when the larger boys were returned to the Sisters in St. Alexis’ school, which had in the meanwhile been called “The Assumption Academy.” La petite ecole is now a neat little residence. It stands on East Madison street and may be recognized by the name of Martin Hoban which this lad engraved on a door post while attending school on the hill, THE SECOND CHURCH. In 1866 the original St. Alexis’ church was found to be too small for the congregation, in spite of the comparatively recent exodus of the people who now formed St. Patrick’s church. Catholic families then seeking a home were naturally attracted to South Bend, and Father Paul Gillen, C. S. C., was even commissioned by Father Sorin to go abroad and invite Catholic people to settle in the neighborhood of Notre Dame or in South Bend, where spiritual opportunities had been prepared for them that could not be found any where else at that time. And φ would to God that similar opportunities had been found everywhere by Catholic families who then came to this country in search of a home, in search of shelter from oppression and in search of the liberty of the children of God! Would to God that a thousand Sorins and a million of Holy Cross men had preceded these people and had founded Notre Dames throughout the land—then the Catholic population of the United States of America would be many times what it is today—then we would not daily come across names which in Europe are household words of Catholicity and the holders of which, even if they have not changed them, now call themselves members of all kinds of denominations, the doors of whose houses of worship they never darken, the very tenets of which,—nay—the very names of which they are not able to account for. The fact is that a fallen off or apostatized Catholic will never make a faithful attendent of any other denomination. This is the only way in which we can account for the overwhelming number of infidel immigrants—and all but the Indians must call themselves immigrants—that are found now in this country. It is precisely those that needed most encouragement in the practice of their religion that took no account of the presence of a Catholic church when selecting a place where to settle,—and it is these fallen-off or apostatized Catholics that formed the backbone of knownothingism of blessed memory and of the late A. P. A., in whatever manner these three letters, in their time, may have been translated in good United States English. PRESCRIPTION DRUGGIST VANDERHOOF’S HONEY TAR Cor.

As everything has its opposite and every poison its antidote, so there exists the Real Antidote for the Cause of Rheumatism. When the cause is neutralized the disease disappears Promptly. Many attempts, meeting with more or less success, have been made to find the real antidote, but we are prepared to give a free three days’ trial of what we know to be the most recent and successful prescription for this disease, to any sufferer who will call or send. One of the ingredients is imported from South Africa for us, especially for this prescription. From the remarkable results following its use, we believe that the Real Antidote has been found for Rheumatism, just as Quinine was discovered for Agues,Chills, Malaria, etc. 13 of $242.90, with an itemized expenditure for church purposes of $231.84. The balance of $11.06 must have been the priest’s salary for that length of time. Among the above church receipts we must count the balance of Father L’Etourneau’s subscription list which Father Frere collected of such persons as J. Naddeau, Smith and Lacosse, P. Bergeron, Ovid Crepeau, Mrs. A. D. Taylor, Mr. Tansy, Mrs. Luther, Mr. Bodoin, John McCafferty, P. Roach, Mrs. Talbot, Mr. Schroeder, J. L. Archambeault and Mrs. Sherland. THE CENSUS. A very precious relic of Father Frere’s labors is the neat census of the parish, which he took up in 1868. It records 47 families with a total of 210 souls. Among these there appear such names as Etier, Louis, now called Hickey, then 38 years old; Lompre, Alex., now called Humphrey, then 20 years old; Hull, Louis, then 24 years old; Archambeault, Jos., then 32 years old; Lamirand, Jos., then 20 years old; Archambeault, J. L., then 30 years old, etc. RELIGIOUS SOCIETIES are also remembered in Father Frere’s records. These were at the time: 1. The Ladies of Nazareth which society had been founded in 1860 and which exists in the church up to the present day. Their original object was to see to the washing and mending of church linens, to the decorating of altars and to the sweeping of the church. In 1890 they added a more distinctly religious object to their rules and became, at the same time, members of the Apostleship of Prayer, of the Living Rosary Sodality and of the Archconfraternity of the Immaculate Heart of Mary for the Conversion of Sinners. Besides faithfully supplying all the needful things which their constitution requires, they have also lent a ready hand in all other church enterprises siace the day of their organization. The officers of the society, unless removed by death, have been practically the same for the last 30 years, and they are now: President, Mrs. T. E. Howard; vice-president, Mrs. Joseph E. Robert and secretary, Mrs. Hugh Tansy. 2. The Children of Mary, which society was founded in 1862 and has ever since been the boast of the parish. It comprizes all the young ladies of· the parish from the time when rhey are confirmed until they are married. Their number fluctuates between a hundred and a hundred and fifty. The rules of their society are but few, but these few are faithfully observed. On entering the society, the young ladies pledge themselves to keep away from all public dances or other public entertainments the character of which is, to say the least, doubtful. They promise to avoid anything which, even by the most fastidious might be interpreted as unladylike, and these promises they make to Almighty Gfod and put them for safe-keeping into the hands of the Blessed Virgin Mary, their patron. And may they continue in the future, as they have done in the past, to take the Blessed Virgin Mary for their model and their guide, and to call regularly, as they have done in the past, upon the grace of God in the Sacraments of the church to strengthen the good resolutions which they have taken on entering the society. The material assistance which they have been to the church is too reat to be estimated here in a transitory notice. It may be referred to later on, and even if it is not, it is fresh within the memory of all. is a Child of ” is the highest recommendation that can be given to any young lady of St. Joseph’s parish. 3. St. Joseph’s Society for men, founded in 1868 This society was, in its day, the strongest Catholic organization in South Bend. In the seventies and in the early eighties it was in a most flourishing condition. But the axiom “In Union there is Strength” was lost sight of by the members. They formed Write Down. You may put it down and remember it, that any man’s chances for success are vastly increased by early training· in business methods. You can’t do a better service for your boy or girl than to place him or her in the South Bend Commercial College. The education imparted here will be of inestimable assistance in all the business affairs of life. South Bend Commercial College » Telephone 551. 232*236S. Michigan St. H. H. RUPEL. H. G.

An eye witness of this sad scene now lives within a mile of the church. The Blessed Sacrament, the Sacred Vessels, the greater part of the church-books and the church vestments were saved, and most of the latter are in use up to this day. Even the famous organ was thrown down from the gallery and out of the burning edifice. It survived the fall, but to judge from the groans which it now occasionally emits in the present St. Joseph’s school, it never got over the shock. Father Demers also had the good sense to have the church insured for $2500.00. ST. JOSEPH’S CHURCH ON THE HILL. The congregation now returned to the old St. Alexis Chapel with Father Peter Lauth as their pastor, and Father Sorin bought the block, on which St. Joseph’s Hospital stands for a new church. He summoned Father Lauth to his room, took a lead pencil and drew on a piece of paper the following plan: • I' which Bro. Charles, however, made two feet wider on account of the lumber, and which, four years later, Father L’Etourneau extended 25 feet. The cellar underneath was built last. Beyond the fact that Father Sorin got the insurance money and bought the property of one William Neddo for $5,000.00 nobody ever knew what the cost of the building was. Father Sorin made the plan himself, Brother Charles, head carpenter at Notre Dame, superintended the work, and Brother Edward, treasurer at Notre Dame, paid the bills. St. Joseph’s congregation seems, 18 indeed, to have been in those days a member of Holy Cross. Each one of the then 139 families was asked to contribute 50 cents a month toward the support of the pastor, and for the rest they did not need to care, no more than the simple religious cares where the potatoes grew which he eats or how much the habit costs which he wears. To Father Lauth, as pastor, it remained to take care of the spiritual matters of the congrega- * · tion, to provide for his own living and the current expenses of the church, and to obey orders from Notre Dame. He kept a faithful account of all receipts. As a matter of interest it may be stated here that of the 139 families the following went a trifle beyond the amount of 50 cents per month: Bertrand, Henry; Beriault, Paul; Burns, Arthur; Dietz, Wolfgang; Donohue, John; Durand, Mrs. Mary; Dwyer, J. H. Engeldrum, Jacob; Fleck, John; Flood, Thomas; Garceau, John Sr.; Gamache, C.; Gorman, Patrick; Hickey, Louis ; Honer Geo. ; Hanley, Michael ; Hastings, Michael ; Howard, T. E. ; Joye, Wm. ; Kenney, Mrs.; Killoran, Michael; Lacosse, Chas. Sr.; McCartney, James; McCafferty, John; Nad-deau, Andrew; Odiet, Justin; O’Brian, Michael; Perry, Samuel; Sherland, Mrs. M. ; Schwanz, Geo.; Williams, Matthew. The following came just up to the mark: Beck, John; Cassidy, Mrs. Mary; Coquillard, Theodore; Emond, Louis; Logan, Mrs. Ellen; Rene, Mrs. Mary; Redmond, John; Stoney, John. m The total amount of “Pastor’s support” in 20 months amounted to $550.82, an average of $27.54 per months and an average of about $0.19 per family. More than one half of the people were unable to pay even $0.50 a month. The penny collections then averaged $5.30 per month. If such was the state of affairs in the seventies what must it have been in the early fifties? In the meanwhile the brick building on the Hill was completed, and when it was completed it was found to contain: a basement which furnished a cellar, a kitchen and a dining room; a first story which furnished residence, a library and a school, and a second story, all in one. The latter was the church. Access to it was gained by a boxed-in stairway which some people called the church tower. AGAIN A SCHOOL FOR BOYS was thus secured, and Brothers Philip, Ambrose, Simeon, and Father Michael Robinson are among those who taught it, but again the boys had to be sent back to the Sisters’ school, when these quarters were abandoned for more spacious ones. THE PEWS. The pews were got from the old church at Notre Dame. They have since made their way down the hill and we continue to hang on them up to this day, although at present preparations are on foot for new ones. For other needed furniture Father Lauth took up a Monthly Collection which went in the following direction.

Father L’Etourneau did not crave poor people’s money. His necessities were but few and he had large revenues of his own from his patrimony in Detroit. Father L’Etourneau extended the building 25 feet and again rented the pews for High Mass on Sundays. In September, 1875, Father Peter Lauth returned for another year. His census for that year mentions 165 families besides a number of single persons. All of them but 40 are credited with amounts which they contributed and which range between 25 cents and $9.50. Matters remained in this state under Father Wm. Demers, who became pastor again from August 1, 1876, to September 1, 1877; under Father P. F. Veniard who was pastor from September 1, 1877, to July 1, 1880; and under Father Thos. Vagnier who replaced him from that time to the 15th of August of the same year. Then came THE REV. MICHAEL PH. FALLIZE, C. S. C., whom Bishop, Joseph Dwenger declared to have been the first pastor, and no man ever contradicted the gentle Joseph Dwenger. The latter now took full charge of the temporal as well as the spiritual matters of the congregation, and father Fallize was his representative. The latter’s zeal is too fresh before the memory of all to need any further comment. He had just emerged from the seminary, the whole world was before him and angels were playing bull fiddles before his eyes in the air—and he did make St. Joseph’s congregation the religious center of attraction in South Bend. His first attention was given to THE CHOIR. Himself a first class musician and gifted with a rare voice he knew how to bring the musical talent of South Bend and even of other places into requisition. The late Paul Krueper was organist, the Elbels and the Toepps and the Baldaschinis and himself sang. The St. Joseph’s choir of those days was without a precedent and has, up to this day, not been excelled in South Bend. Previous to this only home talent had been engaged to sing and Miss Alice Donohue, now Mrs. W. Dobson had been organist. All these cheerfully gave their services free of charge. Now solemnities were the order of the day. These had to be in harmony with the high standing of the musical programs, and the Steils, the Fittes and the Stoffels, the Walshes, the L’Etourneaus and the Grangers came from Notre Dame to add eclat and dignity. All this and a new census taken by Father Fallize which showed a large increase in the Catholic population of East South Bend proved that the site of the church was no louger convenient, its capacity no longer adequate. A NEW CHURCH was planned. The site of the old Celestin Gugnemere de la Hailandiere property was considered more appropriate and the Bishop himself favored the project. The people themselves manifested a desire to rebuild, on a larger scale, the church which had been destroyed by fire in 1872. Father Sorin then refunded the $2500.00 insurance and all other interests which the parish had in the church on the hill, and sold building and property to the Sisters of Holy Cross at St. Mary’s Academy who made of it the present St Joseph’s Hospital. In addition to these sums of cash money Father Fallize soon had subscriptions on paper which were deemed amply sufficient to erect the $18000.00 new church for which a Chicago architect had been pleased to submit plans Whatever the original plans may have been, the St. Joseph’s church turned out to be a brick building, 51x149 feet, with a shingle roof and a steeple in the Extenuated style of architecture.

Telephone No. 74. contractors did not want to take all the money from the poor congregation, they now and then curtailed expenses and left to future geniuses of enterprise also many an opportunity of making a few sheckles. A building fund was started in January, 1881, with a fair, which realized $422.83, and private collections were made the same winter from the people of the parish and the business men in town which ranged between $2.00 and $50.00 and which aggregated by the time the church was finished, $694.00. The collection at the laying of the corner stone, at the end of July, brought $61.00, and the collection on the occasion of the dedication amounted to $120.00. The $2500.00 credit at Notre Dame was drawn shortly after the work had commenced, and when this was exhausted money was borrowed from brokers and banks at a high rate of interest. To judge from the pay roll, which includes pay for material, and labor of all kinds, the work was not gin out by contract, but one Kuppler and one Jackson must have done the lion’s share of it. They alone received $4765.54. A special collection was made for the plastering by Messrs. Garceau, Braunsdorf and McCartney. It brought an even $300, but the expenses for the plastering contract were $447.00. It was in the hands of Martin Hoban. For a pastor’s residence, Father Sorin bought of Alexis Coquillard the adjoining house and property on Water street and rented it to the congregation for the interest of the money invested, viz: $15.00 per month. The church was ready for occupancy and was dedicated on the 10th day of September, 1882. Hugh Tansy says so. He claims to have married Mary Durand in it the very day after it was dedicated, and his marriage is recorded under the 11th day of September, 1882. With the dedication of the church all accounts cease. The pastor who during the building period had been assisted by Father D. Hagerty, was now left alone and he turned his undivided attention to the spiritual and mental improvement of the congregation. A First Communion class of 24 children, and a confirmation class of 84 persons were first taken in hand, and in the mean time the necessary furniture was procured for the new church. Among the latter was the large pipe organ of today. Stained glass windows were furnished by the persons whose names they still bear. In the summer of 1886, during a mission, the northern half of these windows were demolished by a hail storm, and most of the original donors had them replaced at their own expense. The pews and the greater part of the church vestments, which originally hailed from Notre Dame were retained as precious souvenirs. The main altar is the most precious relic in the church. But precious as it may be as a souvenir of the early fifties, it would long since have been burned, had it stood in some isolated or fire-proof place. A new main altar has been promised time and again by private parties under certain conditions, but these conditions have been such as the congregation up to this day has not been able to meet. As it is, it is better than the wooden cross on which the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass was offered up for the first time, and at which holier people and indeed also people more worldly-minded assisted. A SCHOOL FOR LARGE BOYS was Father Fallize’s next concern. This was to be the third one. “Omne trinum perfectum.” This one must be a permanent success. To kill two birds, and here even three, with one stone, a hall for church entertainments, and society rooms were to be connected with it. Such a building was put up in brick, 30x60 feet in size, and two stories high, in the year 1884. The cost is guessed at. Experts put it a $4000.00. The lower floor contained two rooms, 30x30 ft. each, the one being intended for a school and the other for society meetings. The upper floor was in one, was furnished with a stage and all kinds of dramati- CLARENCE N. EDWARDS, dealer in HIGH GRADE MONUMENTS 411 S.

He never was and never pretended to be a business man. Greek roots and the actual needs of life are two different things altogether. But he had the good sense to leave all material matters to the church committee and to follow the excellent organizations which had been established by Father Fallize, reserving to himself only the power of an occasional veto. The financial matters were then, and are up to this day, in the hands of Messrs. Joseph E. Robert, John M Singler, Michael Hanly and Martin Hoban. The wise administration of these men reduced a debt which 12 years ago was believed to be beyond control to a few thousand dollars, and their kind services have always been cheerfully given free of any charge. Look their pictures and feel grateful to them. With the aid of Father Corby and Bro. Edward of Notre Dame they procured money at 5 per cent, and redeemed the old notes on which they had to pay 8 per cent, in advance and some of which had to be renewed every three months. the pew rent from $8.00, $10.00, $12.00 and $14.00 to $12.00, $14.00, $16.00 and $18.00 respectively. In due time they were also confronted by the fact that the rent of many years was still due to Father Sorin for the pastor’s residence. This matter was compromised on an easy settlement. But as such an easy settlement could no longer be looked for in future, the residence renting plan was wisely abandoned, and in the summer of 1891, a part of the empty hall and school was arranged for a residence at a cost of $1055.02, and $300.00. These additional $300.00 were given to the general fund by the pastor for a barn which wTas put up for him at the same time and which is his own personal property. Of the $1055.02 the pastor collected·] from. *door to door $838.93 and the balance, $216.09, fell upon the«*poor church treasury. To pay it the committee urged upon the pastor a They next raised MONTHLY COLLECTION which at first seemed to be rather uncongenial, but to which the O 1 poor man took, latter on, very kindly, because it brought at first from $90 00 to $100 00 per month. The improvement was soon paid for and a monthly tribute of $15.00 was cancelled. In fact the monthly collection proved itself so good that it has been continued up to this day, and it is this which has ever since paid the interest of the general debt and which, by this time, has largely contributed to reduce the debt itself so materially. The church was not as yet ten years old and pessimists noticed that the walls without a water table were crumbling and that the heavy and leaking roof was pressing the walls apart; and all the people saw, perhaps then for the first time, that the inside of the church had never been painted and its windows, beautiful though they were, afforded no protection against rain or cold, on the contrary they were themselves in need of protection against an eventual strong wind. THE ORIGINAL LADIES OF NAZARETH took it upon themselves to make these needful repairs and improvements, and for the 16th, 17th and 18th of October, 1890, they prepared a fair in the skating rink. They called upon the Children of Mary and the children of the school and the Total Abstinence society for help and realized the amount of $1218.24, an amount more than sufficient to make the above mentioned improvements, but very handy to pay interest and to reduce a debt which continued to grow larger and larger in proportion as notes were being presented which had escaped even Father Gleeson’s notice. In 1896 airain the Ladies of Nazareth, though now for O / o reasons they have a different name, by private collections had a basement excavated under the church where they replaced an an old bricked-in, full-cord-wood-devourino-and-n<>-heat-but-all-smoke-giving stove'by a first class furnace at a cost of about 81 At the home of Rev. Father Stoffel, on Hill street, corner of Water, the magnificent procession was reviewed by Very Rev. Father Sorin, Superior General of the Order of the Holy Cross, the Rev. Fathers A. Granger, W. Corby, T. E. Walsh, A. Morrissey, D. Hudson, Jos. Kirsch, Profs. Wm. Hoynes, James Edwards, Francis Ackerman and other members of the Faculty of Notre Dame. What a contrast must have been before the minds of Fathers Soifin, Granger and Corby if they thought back to the time when they used to collect all the Catholics of South Bend in the small Alexis chapel. Of the part taken by St. Joseph’s congregation the South Bend Press, on the following day, spoke in substance as follows: THEY DID WELL THEIR PART. The part taken by St. 'Joseph’s congregation, of the East Side, was a notable one, and their efforts received particular commendation on all sides. That congregation presented a combination of religion and patriotism. “God and Our Country5' was their chief motto. They formed the third division in the parade and were preceeded by the Sweedish Cornet Band. The following is the order in which their floats appeared: The first float represented a figure of St. Joseph, with four guards of honor, under a canopy and the banner of St. Joseph floating above with the Stars and Stripes. The lilies which adorned the float and the four white horses which drew it were fitting emblems of the patron of that congregation and the patron of our county. The second float was furnished by the Young Ladies’ Sodality, the Children of Mary. It represented Columbus, assisted by Father Perez, as he explains his theories about a new world before the court of Queen Isabella. The tableau contained fifteen figures, and the costumes and decorations were of strictly Spanish design. Mr. Fred. Winkler’s stately form made a beautiful and intelligent Columbus at the globe, and Mr. Geo. Chartier's pate seemed to have been purposely prepared to serve as that of Father Perez. The officers of the Sodality represented the queen and her court. The third float contained the rest of the Young Ladies' Sodality, sixty-flve young ladies dressed in white and floating their banner and the national colors. The fourth float represented the departure of Columbus from Palos. Columbus and his crew receive the blessing for a happy journey from Father Perez who is assisted by some fifty church ministers. The float was a boat 12x30 feet in size, and was rigged out with cabin, sails, wheel, etc. The members of the church committee defrayed the expenses of this boat, and the Steward of Notre Dame furnished the truck and six horses to haul it. On this float Mr. Charles Embic made a wise Columbus, and Mr. Ernest Peach a pious Perez. Even without his costume Charles Senrick would easily have been recognized as the cook; Rudolph Singler was climbing the mast and directing the sails, and Thomas Hoban, at the sound of the bell would work at the wheel as if the safety of the whole parade depended on him. The church ministers were the altar boys, and their uniforms, as they were made then by the Children of Mary, are in use up to this day and show to good advantage in the altar boy's picture in this book. The fifth float was, Our Lady—Star of the Sea. It represented the waves of 1he ocean from which emerged the Star of the Sea which guided and encouraged Columbus in the saddest moments of his perils and in whose honor the crew sang every evening “Ave Maris Stella.” The Star of the Sea was Miss O Mary Semortier, then a child of Mary, and now Mrs. Charles Singler. The float was furnished and fitted out at her own O expense. She must have felt quite big when she saw herself mounted on such an elaborate truck and drawn by six horses. The sixth float contained a camp of Indians who had the 3ί Gospel preached to them by two ot' the early missionary fathers. It belonged to the St. Aloysius Society of Young Men. James Luther and Wrn. Braunsdorf in black cassocks and white surplices were catechising a forest full of Indians of all ages and all sizes. An occasional war-whoop and even a war-dance around the trees of the forest showed that either the truths of Christianity or the plaudits of so much civilization were not all at once according to their taste. The seventh float was a boat thickly filled with emigrants who came, as their costumes showed, from all parts of God’s creation, and who now shower their blessings upon the memory of Columbus. “God Bless Columbus!” was their devise in large letters on both sides of the boat and on the large banner which they carried. This float was the pastor’s device in favor of those children of the school that had not as yet been called upon to serve in any other capacity. Ihe eighth float repretented the State of Maryland proclaiming religious liberty over two hundred years ago. In a diphros-shaped chariot and behind six horses one young lady dashed along shaking the flag of liberty right and left. To describe the outfit would require the pen of a modiste or that of a newspaper reporter at a wedding party. Suffice it to say that the float was furnished by the Children of Mary. The ninth float characterized the material and political state of America at the present day. The States and Territories were represented on large badges w’orn by young ladies in white and the devise of the silver dollar “In God we trust” was conspicuous on banners and on the sides of the float. It was furnished and equipped by Messrs. Andrew Neddo and James Kenny for 48 young ladies of a Confirmation class. The tenth float was: “Our Lady Immaculate”, patroness of our country, or the religious state of America at the present time. The “Immaculate Conception” stood on a profusely decorated canopy and was surrounded by Faith, Hope and Charity. The i 34 body of the float was filled with the girls of the First Communion class of that year, dressed in white and decked with wreaths. This float was furnished by the pastor with the aim of providing for the girls a place almost equal to the one which the boys of the same class were given on the ‘‘Santa Maria.” Following the above floats came the men of the congregation on foot and the members of the church committee in a carriage. The church societies of men were assigned a special place of their own in the procession. But the members of the St. John the Baptist society readily renounced to that honor, when they were asked to act singly as an ornament, a protection and as a guide to each one of the 58 horses which drew the floats of St. Joseph’s congregation through the forests of Red, White and Blue and through the floods of the music of cornet bands which filled the air. From among the special notes which the newspapers appended to their accounts the following may be quoted: There was never a more orderly large crowd upon our streets. Money and effort were not spared to make yesterday’s parade a splendid success. Each church was well represented. St. Hedwige’s led in the number of the parade and St. Joseph’s in the number and in the beauty of floats. The representation as to floats was as follows: Mishawaka, 1; St. Joseph’s, 10; St. Mary’s, 5; St. Patrick’s, 3; St. Hedwige’s, 8. St. Joseph’s congregation was minus its Marshal on horseback. It is true, Mr. Paschal Bourdon was not in his position on horseback, at least not for a long time. But he was present at the parade in full regalia. From the beginning he wished to shine, not only in able horsemanship, but also by his steed and he presumed to ride the pastor’s “Jim”. The latter, however, soon became intoxicated with all the music, the bunting and the admiring multitudes, and Mr. Bourdon concluded that, after all, prudence was the better part of valor and he preferred to walk at the bridle of a less pretentious horse rather than to ride the noblest steed in town. There was but one accident to mar the entire proceedings. Wh en the statue of St. Joseph was being placed on its pedestal, the horses moved suddenly and it was thrown to the ground and broken in fragments. The little mishap here referred to did not abate anybody’s enthusiasm. Before the parade left the float yards about the church, another statue was supplied by St. Joseph's hospital, and during the procession the four guards of honor, Messrs. Robert Braunsdorf, Zootic Crepeau, Michael Hanly and Louis Hickey, Sr. who had designed and furnished the float provided among themselves for another statue of the same make and size. But when they came with their otter to the pastor, Mr. Theobald Gooly who died Oct. 3, 1000, had been ahead of them. The day after the celebration the latter enquired about the possible cost of such a statue and put $75.00 in the pastor’s hand for a new one. The Columbus celebration of 1892 illustrates the practice of St. Joseph's church during the past decade. It is, to be slow in undertaking any kind of any enterprise; but if once such an enterprise has been undertaken, it is, to enter into the spirit thereof with one mind and one soul. With a similar spirit A SECOND FAIR was ushered into existence by the Ladies’ Sodalities and held in the Skating Rink, on the 17th, 18th and 19th of February, 1898-Four children of Mary alone collected within six weeks $519.50 and the fair netted the fair amount of $1404.91. It was only surpassed, two years later, by THE CHILDREN’S FAIR. The latter proved not less successful than it was unique in its nature and almost providential in its conception. This is the way it was brought about: A small hall was asked for by the Catholic Knights, a large one by the congregation at large; the latter had not the will to accomodate the former nor the means to suit itself. While hall matters were thus being dis-cussed, the children caught the idea and at once anticipated the un of a coming fair. The hall matter was dropped, but the necessity of additional school room forced itself upon the congregation, and the children claimed that prospective fair for their school accommodations. They will hold it themselves. The idea appeared amusingly strange to some and seriously so unto others. But children in a school form a world of their own among themselves and this little world of theirs exercises a greater influence over the rest of this world’s inhabitants than the moon ever exercised over the inhabitants of any of her sister planets. At home, perhaps, the children were not listened to at all, but in that little world fo their own they have a right to assert their claims and to ask for the reason of their being O refused. Their work on similar enterprises of the past precluded the excuse of a possible failure. The possible loss in studies was equally futile, because the more a child wants to do the more he can do, and the management of a fair is a great training in itself. Assurances, too, were given, that not a lesson would be lost and that studies would receive even greater attention than ever before. All that the sisters of the school and the pastor himself could do now was to put the children off from week to week and from day to day. As early as the 7th day of November 1899 a child, Leonie Poulin, called on the pastor with an article which she had begged of her parents, and asked to obtain a book authorizing her to receive collections on the same. He ask her to wait, under the plea that he would first have to send for such books, but in reality to gain time and to learn what was the general feeling in the matter. At the same time 25 books were sent for, then 50 more and again 50 and finally 100, all of which were called for even before they had arrived. Article upon article now arrived in school, the donations of parents, friends and business men of South Bend at large. They ranged from a Senegambian goat that jumps from precipice to precipice and back again all the way down to a pair of fighting cocks, and from gold watches and parlor stoves all the way down to a baby cradle or an ironing board. The pastor was kept busy, day after day, from mass time till noon, superintending the entering of the same and issuing books authorizing collecting thereon. An account also was opened of the books, the collectors and the contributors. Armed with these books the children then would make a bee line for their parents, their friends, not even slighting their foes, in fact all over town, for a donation. The hope of making five cents would not allow any one to think of the distance even to Notre Dame and St. Mary’s Academy. Some people thought they were pestered with them and felt greatly worried about the children’s attention being withdrawn from their books, others admired their courage and all, without exception, encouraged them with a small donation. How useless the pastor’s remark was, when on the following Sunday, Nov. 12, 1899, he asked the congregation: “Do you know that the children have really started their fair,” was fully evinced by the “Indeed we do” look and by the “Indeed we ought to know” smile which was on every countenance. He continued by asking the people to encourage the children and to be kind to them in every case, assuring them that a kind refusal will be more appreciated than even a large donation given with a disdainful look or an unkind remark. The pastor’s request was not without its effect. The people always had a nickel or a dime in readiness for their youthful callers. Mrs Sherland who then resided in St. Joseph’s hospital, sent them a check for $100.00 to save them the trouble of calling on her singly and individually. The uniform collecting books contained room for just 100 38 uniform subscriptions, and before the end of the first week sever- al of them were returned th five and ten dollars, and these same collectors would ask for a second, a third, some even for a seventh book. φ Following is the list of the children who collected ten or more dollars together with their respective collections: Adelsperger, Rose..............$22.05 Kochenderfer, Anthony 15.40 10.80 Krueper, Cecelia.............. 10.00 10.00 Lafortune, Louis ..............15.00 10.00 Archambeault, Clyde.........

As in the best regulated families mistakes will happen in a church choir and misunderstandings may have to be cleared up. It may happen that a Mr. Charley will pump Gloria and a ary will play Credo, and that organist must naturally be reprimanded. It also has happened that a Mr. Charley had to be told to shut up, as no one but the priest had a right to talk in church, and in self defence Charley had to retort “Then you girls up there must all be priests!” and an evil eye witnessing this will say: ;‘They fight!'' Again a singer may wish to give his or her throat a rest for a few weeks or to practice some extra devotions in the pews of the church, and jealous individuals will say: "So and so has left the choir." Even confessors have gone so far as to sav to themselves, when a young; ladv would accuse t) v_) fj herself of talking in church. “The poor child is singing in the choir. And this is. as a rule, the pay which singers will get in a well regulated Catholic church choir. Ingratitude is. ndeed, the world’s reward, but any child that has mastered the principles of music has also learned how to look upon the ways of the world and how to excuse it for not knowing what it does or says. He or she—as a rule it is the latter— knows and makes proper allowances for the fact that the world at large does not take into consideration the many nights in which choir members brave rain and snow and storm to assemble for a choir practice after a hard day's labor, nor the jealousies to which they are so frequently exposed when they succeed and the railings and the sneers which follow them in the case of a ure: the miserable loft in which they inhale all kinds of odors during winter and in which they ruin every dress by perspiration in summer, that loft which even an occasional church sweeper declares not to be a part of the church and consequently not included in his sweeping contract. They readily condone even this kind of pay at the hands of the world, because they know that Almighty God, in view of their good will not only pardons them for their many short-comings, but will, in spite of these, even reward them for having so faithfully interpreted Him to His people and His people to Him. For such is the office of a choir in a church. There is surely nothing more exalting, nothing more con- soling, nothing more sublime and nothing more heaven-like upon earth than ihe solemn services of the Catholic church. Here man forgets the curse of Adam's sin, here he forgets all his cares and toils: here and here alone he feels that he is more than a beast of burden or a bird of prey: here he forgets all lower instincts and feels himself in attriis donuts Domini Sui. in the j halls of the house of his Lord. If here the priest acts the part of Christ, the choir's part must be that of the angels that remained faithful and of men that are of a good will. Like the r_j chorus of old the choir represents the congregation. In the name of and for the whole congregation the choir accepts and returns the blessings that are exchanged in the name of Christ: O in the name of and for the whole congregation the choir implores the mercy of God in the Kyrie eleison) gives glory to God in the highest and wishes peace to men on earth in the Gloria in excelsis and make a solemn and public profession of faith in the Credo. It transports the congregation before the very throne of God and joins the angels in heaven when they sing: Sanctus. Sanctus. Sanctus Dominus Deus Sahbaot/i, Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord the God of hosts! and again in the Agnus Dei it beseeches the Lamb of God who taketh away the sins of the world to have mercy on us and to grant us peace which is Christ’s own choicest blessing. The part which the choir takes in divine worship here upon earth is indeed, as it were, a practice for the great concert which is to crown the Creation of God. This is the reason why in Catholic churches the members of a choir cheerfully give their seiwices free of charge. They sing solely for the honor and glory of God and would not allow themselves to be defrauded of their heavenly reward by accepting a paltry pay whether the pay be extended in shining silver or in the sounding brass of newspaper puffs. Nor, indeed, do they want to act, like the street parade of a circus, as a drawing card for extraordinary solemnities. The Catholic church has her regular 9 succession of Feasts and Festivals which need no advertising, and her special devotions are in themselves sufficient to attract * j the people that appreciate them. For fellows that know of no cheaper place to entertain their girls of a Sunday evening or for pleasure-seekers in general the Catholic church makes no provision, and even if an accidental choir should aim to launch out in that direction, their efforts, at the best, could never hold their own against the attractions of a theatre or a public dance. No church choir, no more than the proverbial Frenchman, can afford to try to sit between the two chairs, if it does not want to come to grief in one way or in another. If, however, apart from church services, they wish to indulge in a pastime of their own, a love-feast, for instance, an annual bath in Baron Lake during summer or a sleighride during winter, a Cantata in a public hall or theatre, the fact of their singing in church on Sundays will not debar them from any such innocent amusement. St. Joseph’s church boasts of three choirs. Besides the Sunday choir whose picture appears in this pamphlet there is a boys’ choir of about 25 members that attend to all week day services and to all afternoon or evening services, and a little girls’ choir that sing hymns during the early mass on Sundays. During the October, May and June devotions of the past few years the boys have covered themselves with glory and have rendered invaluable service to the congregation. THE SCHOOL for the last ten years has been under the care of Sisters. After the accounts of the children’s fair, their services in the choir, their services at the altar, etc., etc., little remains to be said. These amply show the condition of the school, and the 45 t School reports of the diocese are in harmony with these facts. To say another word about the school would be only repeating what every member of the congregation witnesses Sunday after Sunday and day after day. St. Joseph’s congregation, and for that matter any congregation in the world, has its foundation, its source, its resource, its hope, its pride and its boast in its school. The school is the cradle of the congregation, is its life and is its strength. Without the school it may close its portals today just as well as tomorrow. A patron of the school is a faithful member of the church, and parents that do not send their children to their own Catholic school have thereby severed their connection with the church also. The teachers in these years were: Sisters M. Clement, M. Mathurine, M. Clara, M. Gonzague, M. Benedicta, M. Giovanni, M. Isadore, M. Alfreda, M. Rosita, M. Lydia, M. Julia, M. Bianca, M. Hyacintha, M. Valeria, M. Canice, M. Assumption, M. Raphaelia, M. Eudoxia, M. Justa, M Clement No. 2, M. Holy Infancy, M. Fortunata. Five of these died but recently, greatly mourned by the children who had learned to love them and whose prayers followed them beyond the grave. The present corps consists of: Sisters M. Assumption, M. Clement, M. Clara, M. Fortunata, M. Canice, M. Cunigunda, and Miss Mary O’Connor. The school is attended by 317 children, 161 boys and 156 girls. THE CITY OF THE DEAD. An account about a Catholic church will not be complete unless its cemetery is mentioned. There is not a mass said in the church but the faithful departed are remembered, there is not a public devotion held, not a private devotion made in the church but the thoughts of the faithful revert to the dearly-beloved departed. A mere annual remembrance of the dead on All Souls’ Day does not satisfy the piety of either the church or of any of her
