Show OGDEN CITY. i A Week of Sunshine and Shadow at' Sacred Heart Academy. j fw )h,e societies in our academy the ' first to take active form again was the League of the Sacred Heart, the members mem-bers of which met Monday, Sept 11 to reorganize and renew their devotions to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Since the establishment of this society in the academy we have seen dailv confirmation con-firmation of the promises made to Blessed Margaret Mary in behalf of tnose who show their veneration for the loving heart of the crucified Master. Mas-ter. It was. therefore, with renewed hope and sincere thanksgiving that all began be-gan the morning offering, soon to be followed by the Communion of Reparation Repara-tion and the numberless aspirations which during the course of each weary day rise to Him who in his sovereign might poises the universe in his hand and whose loving heart yet heeds the , tall of a sparrow. That music and literature are twin ' I arts is apparent at Sacred Heart acad- ' emy, but were one to judge by the ever- i 1ec"'rinS harmony heard in the music hails one might feel safe in saving that all the other muses had resigned the i palm to Euterpe. The names of an un- ' usually large number of pupils are seen ! j on the practice card and their enthusi- a asttc possessors give promise of June ' days filled with the melody, not of na- I ture only, but of art. 1 It is gratifying to note the classical tone of the selections, tending finallv j to such cultivation and artistic taste as was shown last May in the brilliant J f programme rendered by the graduate I m music. Miss O'Connell of Kemmerer, f Uyo. Even the beginner as she prac- ! tices the primary exercises may look forward, after years of untiring devo- ! tion to the heaven-given art. to a day fj when she. too. will delight true music- i lovers and feel a certain amount of sat- f isfaction herself, as she interprets the inspired strains of a Beethoven, a Bach 3 or a Wagner. This should be the aim I of every true music-lover. I Wednesday, Sept. 13, the various lit- f erary societies elected officers for the ensuing year and outlined a general 1 Plan of work. From the members of the ; juvenile circles, to whom Alice in Wonderland Won-derland is yet a joy, to the more ambitious ambi-tious seniors who study Scott, Shakespeare Shakes-peare and Tennyson, there is evident a spirit of enthusiasm and a marked desire de-sire to know the masterpieces of literature, liter-ature, and according to the advice of experienced educators, always to approach ap-proach the author through his works. In an age when literature is often made the vehicle of vice, it should be a joy to Catholic teacher and pupil alike to point with pride to authors whose names are synonyms of virtue, and whose works stand for all that is noble and inspiring in life and letters. f- A special feast of the Congregation of the Holy Cross is that of Our Lady's Dolors, w hich was observed last Sunday Sun-day with due solemnity. Mass was celebrated cel-ebrated in our chapel by Rev. J. F. Landry, who, en roue to Montana, paid a visit, all too short, to our academy lights. Flowers and inspiring hymns contributed to make the morning service serv-ice of Sunday a soul poem whose sweet refrain shall be sung by earth as long as Mary's children sorrow, and her sword-pierced heart is their consolation and their hope. f- On Thursday, Sept. 14, the Feast of I the Exaltation, the shadow of the cross fell with saddening gloom on three ! young hearts within our academy, when the news came from California that Mr. Frank McXulty had died the Tuesday Tues-day before. About one short month ago he sought that genial clime hoping to recover his health, but the grim messenger mes-senger had already started on his inevitable in-evitable errand, and despite all that medical aid could effect, the devoted father was taken from his loving children, chil-dren, who sustain a loss that time can never repair. For years he had been a faithful employe em-ploye of the Southern Pacific road, and a fatherly solicitude for his little ones rendered him an indefatigable laborer and a generous provider. Since the death of his estimable wife he manifested mani-fested an extraordinary care for his motherless darlings, and entertained a tender memory of the dear departed. A devout Catholic, he realized to the fullest extent his obligations to his Creator and his family;, and one of our latest recollections of him is as he appeared last Good Friday when, in a weakened, emaciated state, he went with his children to adore in loving reparation the crucified God who was so soon to call him home. A trusty engineer, ever vigilant and far-seeing, we pray God to grant him a speedy entrance into the City of Light, and rest eternal from earthly cares and sorrows. To the little ones left to mourn his loss, we offer heartfelt "sympathy. "sym-pathy. Two of them, at least, have learned to seek consolation where it may be alone found, in the heart of Him who is heart of all. Deeply significant is the fact that it was on the feast of Mary's dolors, all I that was mortal of Frank McXulty was consigned to earth. The funeral took place from St. Joseph's Jo-seph's church and was well attended bv numerous friends who sought to testify testi-fy their respect and esteem for the deceased de-ceased and their tender sympathy for ' the four little orphans, the youngest a mere baby boy, who but four years ago opened nis infant eyes to earth when his mother's closed in death. Rev. P. M. Cushnahan delivered a very logical, yet touching discourse, taking for his text the line of Holy Writ: "It is appointed unto all men once to die, and after death, judgment." In clear, forcible language, he emphasized empha-sized the necessity of living true Christian Chris-tian lives, pronouncing him "an upright, up-right, honest, , hard-working, devoted father." whose every thought was for his children. He bade surviving friends continue to manifest their interest in the little orphans by lending them an encouraging hand on the long, weary road they wera just entering. In conclusion, con-clusion, he begged his kind listeners to live as Frank McXulty had lived, so that when the dread summons would come, they might not enter into an unknown un-known country, but pass to light and life eternal. Sacred Heart Academy, Ogden. Utah. The Weber cluub executive committe? held a meeting recently and considered the freight rates which exist on the Oregon Short Line and San Pedro lines to points south of Salt Lake, and which operate to the disadvantage of the Ogden Og-den shippers. While few of the details of the meeting have been given to th.3 public, it is understood that the mem-I mem-I bers of the committee went over the whole situation and made plans for remedying some of the conditions. Simon Bamberger, together with Chief Engineer Vail of the Salt Lake & Ogden Railroad company, were in Ogden Og-den this week for the purpose of rushing rush-ing matters connect: d with the building build-ing of the grade from the Ogden river I bridge across Washington avenue up to the mouth of the canyon. Mr. Vail will take a number of contractors over the line and will receive bids for the construction work. This contract will be let within a few days. Contracts for the foundation work of the cafe building at the resort in Ogden canyon will also be let. It develops that the brakeman who threw the switch near Bingham when the runaway ore train caused o. bad wreck of a passenger train on the Bingham Bing-ham branch of the Rio Grande Western, West-ern, and whose presence of mind undoubtedly un-doubtedly saved many lives, was Or-ville Or-ville E. Moody of Ogd;n, instead of Moore, as reported in all the papers. The young man is the son of Mrs. F. J. Moody of this city and has hosts of friends here. Alice, the 6-year-o!Vdaugher of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas McBride, who live at 130 Twenty-eighth street, died at the home as the result of burns sustained. f John X.

He reports things in fine shape and that ore .shipments will continue. f The newspaper fraternity of Ogden, with their wives and sweethearts, w--re the guests of "Uncle Billy" Wi'.-' n t the Hermitage. The occasion way a most enjoyable one, and at the banquet served in the big dining room "Uncle Billy" was the host. In a sense the banquet was. a farewell to Worden L.
