On last Sunday the Feast of the Blessed Bless-ed Chanel, priest of the Society of Mary and lirst Martyr ot oeeaniea, was observed observ-ed with great solemnity in the college. At 9:30 a. m. Father Lechner S. M. was celebrant at the High Mass, the deacon being Father Gueymard S. M., and the sub-deacon Father Murphy S. M. After the First Gospel, Father Gueymard preached an able and instructive sermon on the lessons which the lif.and martyrdom mar-tyrdom of Blessed Chanel teaches. Blessed i-etor Aloysius Marie Chanel was born on the 12th of July. 1SU3 at La Potiere, a village of the parish of Cuet, in the diocese of Kelley in the east of France. In baptism he received the name of I'eter. He afterward took the name of Marie, because his mother bad dedicated mm to tne lessen lrgin. jn confirmation he added the name of Aloysius, Aloy-sius, in honor of St. Aloysius. whom he wished to take as a model. From childhood, child-hood, Peter was intensely pious. The first words he learned to utter were the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary, which he pronounced pro-nounced with chlildish grace, joining his little hands and raising them to heaven. As Peter grew up the beauty of his soul seemed reflected on his exterior. Slight in figure, he bad regular and open features, feat-ures, his lok. was mild and intelligent, his manner modest and quiet. There was an angelic charm in his whole appearance appear-ance that struck an observer and made him a general favorite. When about 7 years ot age he was sent to mind his father's sheep. Father Trompier, the parish par-ish priest of Cras, on his way to Visit a friend, met the little shepherd, and was so struck by his open. . straightforward look that he" determined to educate him fo the priesthood. For some years Father Fath-er Trompier taught Peter Latin at the Presbytery and then sent him to the College Col-lege of Meximieux and Uelley, where he finished his classical studies. Having finished his theological course in the Seminary Sem-inary of Brou, Peter was ordained priest by Dr. Devie, Bishop of Uelley, on July 15. 1S2S. He -was immediately afterwards appointed assistant priest in the parish of Amberieu, and the following year was named parish priest of Crozet. From early childhood Peter had a strong desire .for the-foreign missions, and the desire grew so much stronger after af-ter ordination that he no longer doubted the divine call to the most heroic of vocations, voca-tions, and accordingly entered the Society of Mary, who lately founded by Father Colin and approved by Pius VII. was sending zealous missionaries to the South Sea islands. - -- For some years after his entrance to the society he was spiritual director In the Marist collesre of Belley, where his sintly and amiable qualities endeared him to the pupils. On Dec. 24. 1S36, Father Chanel with six other Marist priests, set sail from France and reached the scene of his future labors on Nov. 7. lS3fi. Father Chanel's special mission was the Island of Futuna where he laborer! for four vears among its savage inhabitants. The kn at first received Father Chanel with ereat kindness, but speing his success suc-cess in preaching the gospel, he became very angry and on April 27. 141, at a great council ordered the missionary to be put to death. On the next day his edict was carried out and Father Chanel won the glorious crown for which he had so long sighed. As the martrv breather his last, a peal of thunder in a clear blue sky broke over the heads of the murderers and they fied in terror. Not long after the whole Island Is-land was converted thus agrain verifying'' the saving of Tertullian "Sanguis Mart-yrum Mart-yrum faemen Chrlstianovum" (the blood of martyrs is the seed of Christiary.) The holiness of the martyr being made apparent bv man miracles the magnificent ceremony of Beatfication took place on the 17th of Nov. 159 in the Basilica of St. Peters, Rome. After the reading of the Apostolic brief decreeing to the martyr the title of Blessed, Bless-ed, the Te Deum was intoned. At the same moment the title of Blessed Martyr was uncovered and he appeared to the assembled as-sembled congregation in the midst of dazzling snlendour. The picture represents repre-sents him as rising from the earth, his eves fixed on heaven, an angel appears at each side carrying the instruments of his martvrdom. the club and the adze; two other angels hold over his head the palm and the crown. The Chapel of the Marist Fathers at Lyons possesses the body of. the Martyr in a magnificent shrine the work of Mr. Armand Gaillat, a Lynnesse artist. I In less than a year tne iuarisi society j hope that Blessed Shanel will be canon-I canon-I ized anil on the same day when the ven- erable founder of the order Father Colin will be beatified. The table etiquette prize. for the month of April was gained by the Utah boys, who enjoyed to perfection the elegant dinner given them by the Rev. president. presi-dent. All the bovs, with scarcely an exception, excep-tion, are working hard for the month's competitors, which are so decisive, for class medals and prizes. Handball is still very popular. Even members of the faculty have caught the youthful enthusiasm and are often seen on the ball court. The medal promised by Father O'Brien of Livingston, Mont., will only be won after a very lively contest. con-test. The medal promised by The Intermountain Intermoun-tain Catholic for the best original essay or story has caused quite a flutter in lit-erarv lit-erarv circles. There is no end of speculation specula-tion as to the winner. The rhetoricians have hopes, while others have expectations. expecta-tions. ? Great preparations are being made for the coming feast of St. Joseph, patronage which is likewise throughout the Society of Mary, a spicy feast ot the heads of tho respective houses. On Saturday evening. May 5, at 8 p. m., an entertainment complimentary com-plimentary to Very Rev. Father Larkin will be given in the college hall. Among the many callers at the college during the week were Mrs. Curran, 11a-german, 11a-german, Ida.: Mrs. Reilly, Butte. Mont.; Mrs. Snow Carleton, Hillyard, Wyo. ; Mr. Jas. Finlen, Butte, Mont.; Hon. Tim Kinney and Miss Kinney, Rock Springs, Wyo. 9 Little Harry Ivers is back again at school, brifiht, fresh and rosy, after his eastern trip. He has many interesting things to tell about his travels, and says it is not surprising that the mammas In New York are so careful not to let their small boys go out alone, as it is just as much as he could do to cross some parts of Broadway. The Athletic association Is in full bloom, thelarger boys getting up quite early in the morning for practice. A stranger passing the college grounds about 5:30 a. m. migh be surprised to see Ricardo, Luxen and many other long-legged bipods scudding along like frightened ostriches, trying to get a good supply of wind for the great Olympic contests which will take place on Whitmonday, June 4. In throwing the hammer, Jake Ulysses Kevin Kev-in Is expected to make a record and win fame for his native town of Melville, which geographers, with thoughtful consideration, con-sideration, omitted from their charts, lest they might intrude upon its tranquil and sequestered existence. It is said that spring wagons rolling along its boulevards boule-vards do not make any perceptible noise a proof that macademized roads have not a monopoly of advantages. j. First place for the month of April was gained in the rhetoric tdass by Thos. Canning and Thos. Wolohan; in the poetry poet-ry class by Jos. Burri; in the humanities, by Vvm. Shields; in the first academic, by Chas. Maguire: in the second academic, academ-ic, by Ed Bonner; in the first junior, by Thos. Sun: in the preparatory, by Albert Daly and Donald .Morrison: in the commercial com-mercial by John McGranahan: in the second sec-ond academic class, Ollie Snyder led by-long by-long odds in Latin. The Holy Cross Order have the deep sympathy of the president and faculty for the great loss they suffered in the recent death of their beloved Mother General. Gen-eral. Many of the Marist Fathers had been her guest in St. Mary's Ind.. and seldom enjoyed more generous hospitality. hospital-ity. It was rare to find a woman in whom trie qualities of head and heart were so harmoniously blended. Her strong faith, brilliancy of intellect, sweetness of manner, man-ner, goodness of heart, made her universally uni-versally loved, revered and honored. - Her death is not only a serious loss to the order or-der of which she was such a bright ornament, orna-ment, but to the Catholic Church in this country. The prayers and masses of the I Community were offered on the Feast of j Blessed Chanel for the repose of her soul. |
