Qur Church CO9 There standing proudly on the hill, St. Marys church is standing stillg The first that little mount has graced, Not storm nor time its walls have razed. The settlers wrought with trowel and spade, Devoutly its foundation laid, And gave their priests and fellow-men A worthy heritance from them. Long have these settlers passed away, The church they built knows not decay, Majestic walls and graceful spire Still point our thoughts to something higher. The hells that rolled them to their rest, Still call us to our duties hlessed, Still ring as for theni long ago, In days of joy and days of woe. And still they'll ring as time goes on, When we in turn to rest have gone, And still they'll urge to heed the calls, To seek for peace within its walls. To kneel in prayer where others knelt, Where scores of years their Savior dwelt, And in this hallowed Sacred place, Qhtain His blessing, strength, and grace. -Vincent Sorg l 13 l

Reverend Father Henry Q01 Five and twenty years he spent, In the service of his Kingg We are glad to have hirn here, While the hells of Jubilee ring. All his priestly life he's given To sanctify his foldg He cares not if the value of His work remains untold. Societies he organized, St. Anne's and Holy Name, Yet in his work there ne'er appeared i A thought of earthly fame. In years to come, when he is called, His merits will he large For all he did to save the souls Entrusted to his charge. -Thomas L l 151 CLITTI
