ANCIENT CHURCH j TO WELCOME HOME' WAR VETERANS Knights of Columbus Will i Spend Day in Bu (ihanan Valley I a* f / W. W. WHALEN Notices were received to-day by Knights of Columbus in Harrisburg ana vicinity, calling attention to a big celebration to be held August 15 at St. Ignatius' Church, Buchanan Valley. Adams county. There will be a field mass at 11.45 a. m.. in thanksgiving for peace, followed by a picnic. The Re*. W. W. Whalen. former assistant at St. Patrick's Cathedral will officiate at the mass and the Knights of Columbus will supervise the Day. Many Harris burgers will attend. Local will go by auto and train. Hanover is the nearest ppint by train. The church is located eight miles from Orrtana. The advance announcement sent out of the affair is unique. It says in part: "See our little cameo church. She has just celebrated her 103 d birthday, and time hasn't written a wrinkle in her placid brow. Come and worship God in his Temple not made with hands The robins will be there, hymning, and the butter flies will hreathe their tiny prayers. The west wind will harp a lyric that is older than the sea.' " Father Whalen, who is the present rector of the ancient church, said that August 15. the commemoration of the Assumption of Our Lady, will be a day of innocent religious dissi pation in Buchanan Valley. "We'll turn into churchless Druids," he re marked. "We'll offer the great sac rifice without a roof. where the acorns fall. We'll eat meat that day. though it's Friday. Just as if we'd thrown off all church discipline. You see. because of the greatness of this feast of the mother of Christ, the Catholic Church relaxes her leg islation. and we abstain from meat the Thursday preceding, that being the vigil of the celebration." The North American. Philadelphia, says: "Ten miles from a railroad, five miles from a trolley car, thirteen miles from a movie house, and four miles from a glirage, St. Ignatius' Church, of Buchanan Valley. Adams county, nevertheless continues, after the lapse of 103 years, to hold its con gregation. It's old yellow-painted structure, which shows no signs of decay, though it's hoary with the storms of hard winters. Its dead lie peacefully roundabout, and some of the graves date 'way back in the mists of the nineteenth century. "The Jesuits were the first priests who opened this mission, and they conducted it for years, riding miles through the country and over the mountains every week to reach their charge. Then the congregation be came part and parcel of the Harris burg diocese. "This crowd of rural Catholics does not go into the highways and byways looking for amusements and pastimes; they have them right at home. On August 15. there will be held the annual field mass, with ben ' ediction of the, blessed sacrament, conducted under a venerable tree, whose large limbs and thick leaves make a fitting canopy. The Knights of Columbus will supervise the day. The mass will begin at 11.45, to be followed by an old-fashioned picnic. This dinner is a very necessary ad junct. as there is no hotel conven iently near." German Refugees Are Crowding Cities By Associated Press. Berlin. Aug. 1.
