THE CATHOLIC MAY PROCESSIUN
The capacity of SS. Philip and
- James Catholic Church in this place
was taxed to accommodate the large
congregation which assembled on Sun
day evening to witness the annual
May procession and the crowning of
the Virgin Mary, the Queen of May
The procession started from the par-
sonage and was pretty indeed as it
gracefully wanderell through festoon-
ed aisles in lines separating and re-
uniting. 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.

one of the Missionary superintend-
ents, gave an illustrated lecture on
Hungarian work; on Thursday even-
ing Dr. A. B. Truxal, of Meyersdale,
