To Father Geiger, then, is due a debt We can never repay for the performance of this duty. For three years he has been our weekly instructor in ieligion. Active and alert he has done signal service to the cause of religion by his indefatigible labors. ' May Divine Fiovidence continue to bless him in his work.

Our Lady's Chapel Where is the spot we love so well Where daily trails we plaintively tell? Hush! 'tis where the angels dwell, Our Lady's Chapel. What is the charni that takes us hence And fills us with awe and reverence? Behold! 'tis the stronghold of Heaven's defense. In our Lady's Chapel. Where do we find that love entwined Which brings sweet peace from His Heart divine? Lo! 'tis at the feet of Mary's shrine. In Our Lady's Chapel.
