The program as given in our last issue was prettily and effectively carried out. Rev. Fr. Brady in his ser- mon appropriate to the occasion an- swered the question why the Catholic church pays honors to the mother of the Christ by saying that God Himself first honored by choosing her from a- mong women to be the earthly moth- er of the World's Redeemer.
