, KN LOFTY spire rising heavenward, dominating Main Street, marks the official church of a bishop enshrined in the hearts of his people: the nerve center of a diocese of which we all are a living part. Saint Joseph's Cathedral would be inspirational were it only for its ruler. our bishop. Into the inanimate walls of the church he has infused a spirit that glows with awe and holiness. Massive and impos- ing as is the structure of Saint Joseph's, it still speaks of the demo- cratic simplicity that is Bishop Mc Gavick. Its history is practically the history of catholicism in La Crosse When the diocese of Milwaukee found its growth too great to be taken care of from that point, La Crosse was chosen as the logical heart of the new off-spring. From that day to this. the progress of the vigor- ous young diocese speaks for itself. It is this year that Bishop Mc Gavick for the fiftieth year will call down the King of Heaven for his people to worship. It is for that reason, because it is our cathedral, because it is the one cathedral that intimately touches our lives, because for the sake of its ruler Saint J oseph's truly deserves to be numbered among the great, that we use it in the second division of this TRUMPET.

The coat of arms of the Bishop of La Crosse, with its crozier and mitre, and the six tassels, characteristic of the bishopric, designates our Bishop i i one of the noblemen of God.

A voice directs the spiritual lives of those under him with the power and precision that can come only from God. Another Christ, yes, in every sense of the word. In crozier and mitre, the Bishop,s mission is identical with Christ's own. The world that is Christ's narrowed to the confines of a diocese with the same perplexities, the same work to be done. Through it all, however, the ruling pow- er of the Bishop shines forth unerringly, a sheltering haven in a misleading world.
