May he live long, and happily among us, and may God grant him the grace to offer the Holy Sacrifice for yet another twenty-five years, and so see the day that marks the happy celehration of his Golden Jubilee. Boyhood dreams of long ago. Saw an altar fair, Consecrated, trembling hands, Lifted there in prayer. And those dreams have led me on, Dreamlike though they seemed. Now, dear friend, thank God with me, I am what I dreamed. -A. Kronenwetter 003 A Prayer for Priests Keep them, I pray Thee, dearest Lord, Keep them, for they are Thine- Thy priests whose lives burn out before Thy consecrated shrine. Keep them, for they are in the World, Though from the world apart, When earthly pleasures tempt, allureg Shelter them in Thy heart. Keep them, and comfort them in hours Uf loneliness and pain, When all their life of sacrifice For souls seems hut in vain. Keep them, and O remember, Lord, They have no one but Thee, Yet they have only human hearts, With human frailty. Keep them as spotless as the Host-- That daily they caress!- Their every thought and word and deed, Deign, dearest Lord, to bless. 111 Selected

Our lubilarian Very Reverend Father Timothy, C. S. B. coo XXX ERY Reverend Father Timothy Seus, C, S. B., was born September 4, 11886, in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, and received the name Philip in Baptism. When six years of age he was enrolled at St. Marys grade school, Allegheny, and continued there until the year 1898 when he entered the Scholasticate at St. Vincent College, Latrobe, Pennsylvania. After about six years of successful study there, he was admitted to the Novitiate and so became a member of a Religious house without being bound by vows. Exactly a year and a day later, july 2, 1905, he made his Religious Profession, thereby binding himself to the Benedictine Order for life. Six years later, lacking one day, Reverend Father Timothy was ordained a Priest of God, and on the following day, july 2, 1911, celebrated his first Solemn High Mass at his childhood home and parish, St. Marys, Allegheny. Following his ordination, he spent four years as professor at St. Vincent College, after which he was sent, in the year 1915, to teach at the Benedictine High School, Pueblo, Colorado. Here he also did parish work at St. Leander's Church. In 1918 he returned east and as assistant pastor labored at St. Benedict's Church, Carroltown, Pennsylvania, until September, 1919, when he was transferred to St. Marys, Pennsyl- vania, where, during the last seventeen years, he has labored zealously for the good of souls, especially for the young. As assistant at Sit. Marys Church, this city, he had charge of the young mens associations as well as of the Young Ladies' Sodality, and both testify to his untiring efforts in their behalf. In 1933 the Sacred Heart Church was entrusted to him, and he served in this parish as Pastor from january till August of the following year, when he returned to St. Marys congregation as Pastor and Prior. His return was gladly welcomed by his many friends, and -now that his Silver Jubilee of Priesthood has come all are happy to have him still in their midst that on this day, they may be able to show in a slight way their appreciation for all he has done for the people of St, Marys. We, the students of St. Marys Catholic High School, take this occasion to thank him, and to express our appreciation for his fatherly care and kindly direction of each and all who have had the happiness of being numbered among his spiritual children. 1101
