Show SACRED HEART ACADEMY. Writer - Dwells on Features of the ; Catholic Part of Ogden. Ogden, Sept.. 28.-It is. a noteworthy fact that. each of our sovereign pontiffs has shown-his zeal for the. sheep of his fold by the promulgation of some special spe-cial devotion. One ot) the distinguishing distinguish-ing characteristics of our present Holy Father is the enthusiastic manner in which he advocates the teaching of Christian doctrine. Were it our happy privilege to usher his holiness into St. Joseph's church some Sunday morning morn-ing about 9:30, we feel sure a thrill of gratification would overspread his paternal pa-ternal countenance at the sight 'of the goodly number of boys and girls listening listen-ing most attentive':' to their instructors, instruc-tors, and replying in a very intelligent manner to the sometimes difficult questions ques-tions proposed. ' Not little children alone compose these classes, but young men who have begun the battle of life, and maidens who possess all the delicate charms of fair womanhood deem it not ben.ith them to attend regularly each Sunday morning catechetical instructions. There must always be a motive power back of such work, and in this case the force is -exercised by the ever-zealous pastor, Rev. P. M. Cushnahan. whose views are in accordance with that of a saintly educator, a noble soul who once wrote in a stimulating letter: "Let us ever aim not at the higher, but at the highest education, whose chief object is God,- whom we study in his works. His crownjng work is man. Study God. Study man; in. a word, study the .ittle catechism Which is 'the epitome of all knowledge.'-' - . . K-' K-' There is a tender devotion about the hymns of the Church that always touches the heart, and to the man or woman grown old, and perhap3 weary waiting the end. the sweet refrain of a May carol, learned in childhood's days, will touch a fount of feeling which might have been thought -long since exhausted. During the summer months parishioners of St. Joseph's missed the beautiful, soul-stirring hymns always rendered at first mass on Sunday, but with the return of Sacred Sa-cred Heart academy pupils were heard again the sweet voices that said goodbye good-bye last-June. , To. celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Mercy they sang the beautiful hymn, "Help of Christians," and while their childish voices rang out fervently in the notes of the refrain, older heads and sadder hearts repeated : "As we drift o'er Death's dark tide. O, Help of Christians, be our guide!" "Schiller versus Moliere. or Carneille versus Goethe," might well be the subject sub-ject of debate between students of the languages at' Sacred Heart. Neither Herodotus nor Homer claims extraordinary extraordi-nary attention, nor is Caesar, Cicero or "Virgil open to much discussion, but the German and the French pupils (as they style themselves) are friendly rivals. Such rivalry, however,' is stiulatlng and shows a spirit of study that is gratifying gratify-ing to teachers. The old adage, "There is no disputing tastes," seems the only way to settle the discussion: .then, too. each pupil should be influenced in her choice by the end In view, for upon it will depend .progress, but whether German philosophy' philoso-phy' or French verse claim the attention, atten-tion, earnestness in the work will inevitably, in-evitably, achieve extraordinary results.

' f- " The number of Salt Lakers who came to Ogden for a visit to Ogden canyon and-other' - attractions last Sunday seemed .to. be greater than' during the heated season. The Oregon Short Line excursion was popular, and two more coaches were attached to each train, coming and going. The canyon is now at its best, the foliage having turned and the variegated colors presented by the crimson maples, the yellowed quaking quak-ing asps and the green pines offer a pleasing combination of nature's colors. From the sanitarium at the mouth of the canyon past Lewis' and the Hermitage, Hermi-tage, at the Winslow- place and clear to the Oaksf the visitors congregated and enjoyed the usual treat of gazing at autumn leaves in a temperature of 80 degrees. . . ' The addition to the rear of the Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone company's headquarters on Washington avenue is nearing completion, andthe ceTnent roof is about completed. The building of this structure means an entire remodeling remodel-ing of the Ogden' exchange, including the discarding of all of the present apparatus ap-paratus and the installation of a new-switchboard new-switchboard costing ?"j0,000. Monday evening the English and Scotch gathered at the Ogden tabernacle taber-nacle square and indulged in an informal infor-mal game of association football. The t purpose is to organize a club and promote pro-mote association football, a game that eliminates the brutality that is so frequently. fre-quently. the feature of the modern version ver-sion of the Rugby game. The movement move-ment for association football is the outcome out-come of a coming sentiment of the Britishers to "cut out" the roughness of football and make it a game of recreation rec-reation and not of brutality. The leaders lead-ers are the Scottish and English mechanics me-chanics in the Southern Pacific shops. |
