Dancing, singing in “Simbang Gabi”
SIMBANG gabi in the town of Pangil in Laguna is not just plain misa de gallo, the evening or dawn novena Masses that start Dec. 16 to usher in the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. It is also an occasion for dancing, singing and offering of infants.
About a thousand mothers wearing bandanas usually flock to the Our Lady of Nativity Parish Church with their babies, to dance and chant praises to God.
They recite the rosary and sing exaltations to the “Nuestra Señora de La O” (Our Lady of the “O” or Our Lady of Nativity). Holding the “Santo Niño de La O” (Holy Child of the “O” or Holy Child of the Nativity), they dance to the children’s Latin song “Dic Mihi” of the basic Christian catechism amid the beating of the drums.
Every Pangileño knows the tune by heart. The song enumerates the 12 important teachings of the Church.
The ritual is locally called “OO”, which many people believe has been derived from the Latin devotional verses and exaltations that start with “O”, such as: “O Maria! O Virgines Pulcra! O Mater Nostra!”
Long life…
For the elderly, the singing and dancing start immediately after the dawn Mass. For infants and children, the activities take place at 4-5 p.m.
As early as 3 p.m., women and their toddlers troop to the church for the ritual. Residents say the event ensures good health for the young ones and long life, success and prosperity for the families.
The ceremony lasts more than an hour.
The daily ritual runs until Dec. 24, in time for the Pregnant Madonna’s birth of Jesus on Christmas.
The “Santo Niño de La O” is hoisted by a chosen person who dances back and forth along the aisle as the churchgoers sing the “Dic Mihi”.
It is said that bearing the image during the annual feast day procession is a privileged task, for which people line up for years. For instance, someone who has his name listed in 2000 will have to wait until 2015 to carry the Santo Niño. If one has sinned, he or she would find the statue heavy; if guiltless, the statue would be light.
The religious devotion was transformed into a Grand Pa-OO Festival or the Bandana Festival in January 1999, when parishioners started dancing the Santo Niño in the streets, waving pine leaves while dancing.
The date of the festival, now on its sixth year, was changed to Dec. 18 in later years.
Pregnant Madonna…
A church document describes the pregnant Madonna as the life-sized statue of the “Nuestra Señora de La O”, which symbolizes the Blessed Mother heavy with the Child Jesus.
When one views the image closely, the Virgin’s hand expresses amazement while her beautiful face looks intently beyond.
The “Santo Niño de La O”, on the other hand, depicts the Child Jesus inside the womb. Thus, it is hoisted on a wooden pole with a silver circle representing the womb.
The two images are also considered miraculous. The “Nuestra Señora de La O”, in particular, is known to help women who have difficulty in child-bearing.
Four centuries…
The municipality of Pangil is as old as the Our Lady’s Nativity Parish. It is now 430 years old.
Church documents showed that the first church was built by missionaries Fray Juan de Placencia and Fray Diego de Oropesa in Barangay Sulib in 1579. Made of bamboo, the church was destroyed by an earthquake and storms.
In 1611, a stone church and a convent were built under Fray Gonzalo del Robles. At that time, the church was the biggest in Laguna.
Today, the convent of Pangil remains a historic place for one memorable reason: it was host to Prince Carlos III of Spain in 1743. The prince stayed in Pangil and spent time hunting in the forest and swimming in the river, which is now called the “Bambang Hari” by natives.
He stayed in the town for three or four years, church records show, and returned to Spain in 1759. Five years later, in 1764, he was crowned King Carlos III after the death of King Fernando VI, his stepbrother to his father, King Felipe V.
Upon his ascension to the throne of Spain as King Charles III, he sent the statues of “Santo Niño de La O” and “Nuestra Señora de La O” to Pangil as a sign of his gratitude and appreciation for the hospitality accorded to him.
The bandanas used by the festival participants, according to old Pangileños, seek to recall their ancestors who covered their heads as they received the two gifts from King Carlos III along the Laguna Lake on a rainy day of December 1764.
They sang and danced in extreme joy along the streets, carrying the images on their way to the parish church. (INQ7)

The catechism in pictures is an exceptional educational work in the teaching of the Catholic faith. The first edition in English dates from 1912, but it is a translated version of the original French edition of 1908. A nun signed this copy on July 31, 1938, 80 years ago! The catechism today is a very thick book that is not very convenient for reading. If this book is easy for a child to read, then you will enjoy seeing and reading its content. You can download it in full by accessing the album that contains all these images. Good reading !

Hail Mary
The Hail Mary (sometimes called the "Angelical salutation", sometimes, from the first words in its Latin form, the "Ave Maria") is the most familiar of all the prayers used by the Universal Church in honour of our Blessed Lady.
It is commonly described as consisting of three parts. The first, "Hail (Mary) full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou amongst women", embodies the words used by the Angel Gabriel in saluting the Blessed Virgin (Luke, I, 28). The second, "and blessed is the fruit of thy womb (Jesus)", is borrowed from the Divinely inspired greeting of St. Elizabeth (Luke 1:42), which attaches itself the more naturally to the first part, because the words "benedicta tu in mulieribus" (I, 28) or "inter mulieres" (I, 42) are common to both salutations. Finally, the petition "Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen." is stated by the official "Catechism of the Council of Trent" to have been framed by the Church itself. "Most rightly", says the Catechism, "has the Holy Church of God added to this thanksgiving, petition also and the invocation of the most holy Mother of God, thereby implying that we should piously and suppliantly have recourse to her in order that by her intercession she may reconcile God with us sinners and obtain for us the blessing we need both for this present life and for the life which has no end."
Hail Mary, full of grace.
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Hail Mary full of grace
Why do your children
Hate our race
Knuckle duster hate
With which they
Stamp our colored face
Adoration Salutation
With more hate replace
They want every inch
Of our valued space
our body our soul
to malign maim deface
white feathered peacocks
with an evil trace
man and mankind
they disgrace
if not today
perhaps
tomorrow
when they
open their inner eyes
Dear Mother Mary
They might touch base
Footnote
The most famous of these is that attributed, though incorrectly, to Dante, and belonging in any case to the first half of the fourteenth century. In this paraphrase the Hail Mary ends with the following words:
O Vergin benedetta, sempre tu
Ora per noi a Dio, che ci perdoni,
E diaci grazia a viver si quaggiu
Che'l paradiso al nostro fin ci doni;
(Oh blessed Virgin, pray to God for us always, that He may pardon us and give us grace, so to live here below that He may reward us with paradise at our death.)
The Reformed Church is, in terms of numbers, the largest denomination in Hungary, after the Roman Catholic Church. The Calvinist trend of the Reformation in Hungary adopted two confessions at Debrecen in 1567: the Heidelberg Catechism, and the Second Helvetian Confession. The existence of the Reformed Church in Hungary dates from this Debrecen Synod of 1567. Among the Presbyterian churches it is the only one that has had, and still has, bishops in additions to general curators (lay presidents) at the head of Church Districts.

Until the 19th century the Hungarian diet held its sessions in different parts of the country. In the Reform Era the idea of a "House of a Motherland" became more and more popular.
Construction began in 1884 and lasted for two decades. The building opened in 1902, although it should have been finished by 1896 for the Milennium of Hungary's foundation. The site is located on the Pest bank of the Danube to act as a visual counterweight to the Royal Palace rising high on the other side of the river. The architect, Imre Steindl, got his inspiration for the design from London's Houses of Parliament.
After World War II the diet became single-chambered, and the government now uses only a small portion of the building. During the communist regime a red star perched on the top of the dome. It was removed in 1990. Mátyás Szűrös declared the Hungarian Republic from the balcony facing Kossuth Lajos tér on 23rd of October, 1989. The Hungarian parliament has 386 members that are elected every 4 years.
The Budapest Parliament stretches between the Chain Bridge and the Margaret Bridge on the Pest bank of the Danube.
It is visible from almost every riverside point. The Gellért Hill and the Castle Hill on the opposite bank offer the best view of this huge edifice.
Budapest Parliament is the third largest parliament in the world. Today it seems too big for such a small country, but at the time of its construction Hungary formed part of the Habsburg Empire, that stretched from the Tatra Mountains to the Adriatic.
The Parliament has 691 rooms. The length of all the stairs together measures about 20 kilometres. The most impressive is the grand staircase. The building contains spacious halls. The central dome's height reaches 96 m.
The building has 27 entrance gates. 90 statues and the coats-of-arms of various cities adorn the exterior. There are 152 statues and pictures of national fauna. The decorations required about 40 kg 22-23 karat gold.

For those who may be unfamiliar with Purgatory it is not as some think a “second chance” after death, but for those who have died in “God’s grace and friendship, but are still imperfectly purified.” (CCC 1030) It is, as the Baltimore Catechism calls it: “God’s Hospital.”
And, it is dedicated for souls who, though will eventually go to Heaven, have not yet reached its heights just yet, and, as a result are unable to pray for themselves. The Church, therefore, reminds us of the importance of praying for these souls, so that, indeed, we can assist them to their and our Heavenly homeland. In fact, according to Gerard J M Van Den Aardweg, author of Hungry Souls: Supernatural Visits, Messages and Warnings from Purgatory Blessed Catherine Emerick, a saint who had visions of Purgatory, believed that “these souls [the souls in Purgatory] receive no direct aid from heaven; everything they obtain comes from the faithful who live in the world.” which is why it is so important and necessary for us to constantly pray for those souls.
While there are a thousand different prayers with which we can do this, there has been a long tradition of praying one of the most treasured prayers we have, that of the Holy Rosary.
The word, itself, “rosary” comes from the Latin, meaning “rose,” and in the words of Susan Tassone, the author of the book, The Rosary for the Holy Souls in Purgatory: “We offer a beautiful rose for each Hail Mary to Our Lady. She presents this Rosary bouquet to her Son, Jesus.” As a result, their gift, as it were, becomes another's so that, as Susan also says: “She [Our Lady] intercedes for the living and the dead,” which is why: “The Church recommends the Rosary as a prayer to save souls and to obtain peace in the world.”
Not only that, but by praying the Rosary we, ourselves, grow closer in our relationship with God, since the mysteries recall the lives of Jesus and Mary and, literally, unfold before us as though we were right there with them.
In fact, many saints would recommend it above any other prayer and they always treasured it. St. Pio would go so far as to call it his weapon, St. Louis De Montfort was an adamant believer that anyone who prayed it, even the most hardened of sinners would eventually be converted, and even our own Pope and countless Popes before him would always have those beads in their hands.
It was, however, St. Leo XIII, who put it so well, he said: “The Rosary is the most excellent form of prayer and the most efficacious means of attaining eternal life.” It is, he says, “the remedy for all our evils, the root of all our blessings,” for, to him, “there is no more excellent way of praying.”
Therefore, given this powerful prayer and the necessity to which we are called to pray for the souls in Purgatory, it seems only fitting that, indeed, it is the Rosary that would be most appropriate to offer for those holy souls. For, in the words of St. Pio, a man whom, it is believed, prayed 60 rosaries a day: “The holy souls are eager for the prayers of the faithful, which can gain indulgences for them. Their intercession is powerful. Pray unceasingly. We must empty Purgatory.”
A wise question contains half the answer.

I just love the fact that the chap gracing the front of the old Blewcoat School building (now a national trust shop) is wearing a blue coat!
The Blewcoat School, on Caxton Street, was founded by voluntary subscription in 1688 as a charity school for the education of poor children to teach them how to ''read, write, cast accounts and the catechism'. In the early years the school was housed in hired premises in Duck Lane (now St Matthew's Street). This building, erected by William Greene in 1709, on a site then known as Brewers' Green, consists of a single large room. William Greene held the lease on the land from the Dean of Westminster at an annual cost of 2s 6d. He was a local brewer and intended the school for the use of children from his brewery just around the corner in Stag Place. A house for the schoolmaster was also built along side. In 1723 Greene assigned the lease to trustees on the condition that the land continued to be used for educating and instructing poor children, and for the schoolmaster. The lease was renewed several times until 1869 when the Dean and Chapter of Westminster granted the freehold to the school governors, on the condition and the Dean and Chapter could, from time to time, nominate two boys and two girls to the school. (There were also minor conditions regarding the rights of the District Railway Company which had rights to the land under the site, one of its tunnels running right underneath the school.)
The schoolroom initially housed some 50 boys. From 1713 onwards, there were places for 20 girls as well, a number which was subsequently increased. Education for girls at the school was discontinued in about 1876. In 1898, the Governors obtained consent to close the school and dispose of the site to the Vestry of St Margaret and St John, Westminster. The Vestry subsequently entered into an agreement with Christ Church National Schools, which continued to operate a school on the site until 1939 (not 1926 as you will see in some sources).
The building was used as an army store during the second world war.
In 1954 the building was purchased by the National Trust and is now used by the Trust as a gift shop and information centre. This photo shows a 'blewcoat boy' in a niche about the doorway.
There is no record of the architect of the building, although some have associated it with Sir Christopher Wren. In Later Renaissance (1901), Belcher and Macartney indicate that the building has been attributed to Wren, and it is suggested that Hawksmoor may have assisted in the work.
The school room is 42 by 30 feet and raised several feet above the surrounding area. There is a large basement underneath which it is rumoured was used by William Greene to store beer barrels.
The building is Grade One listed.
"But especially he loved to run in the dim twilight of the summer midnights, ... reading sounds as a man may read a book, and seeking for the mysterious something that called -- called, waking or sleeping, at all times, for him to come."
~Jack London, The Call of the Wild
Truth:
When I was eight, at my First Holy Communion, while everyone else was giving me bibles and crosses, my Uncle gave me a book of Jack London stories. I loved him for it.
Not long after that, he heard his own wild call. Yesterday, it finally caught up with him. He never got to Alaska or Montana like he dreamed of. He only got to the bottom of a bottle. Lots and lots of bottles. I hated him for it.
I never did learn that forgive & forget thing from my catechism. I did learn that there is indeed a law of club & fang, and that you can fight it. If you want to.

My family's church in Muskegon. This is where I had Catechism every Tuesday night from 1st through 6th grades.
The church was built in 1966. It was designed by architect Marcel Breuer.
From Wikipedia: The Grand Marian Procession is intended to promote religious catechism through publicly parading images outside the Manila cathedral on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.
In addition, the Cofradia is known for selecting more than ninety of the most prominent and liturgically inspiring Marian images in the country, most notably the ones featured, as the canonically crowned images in the Philippines, such as the Our Lady of La Naval de Manila and Our Lady of Manaoag. The event is often chaperoned by the Armed Forces of the Philippines who sponsors the security of the event.

Remark: The Augsburg Evangelical Lutheran Church in Porter, Porter County, Indiana, can trace its establishment to 1852. The church seen in this postcard image no longer exists. It represented the third of four churches that have occupied the same site. The location of this church is the southeast corner of the present day junction of Beam Street and Mineral Springs Road in Porter, Indiana.
At 3:45 pm on Saturday, March 11, 1933, the church seen here was destroyed by a fire caused by a propane gas tank explosion in the basement. The blast occurred while the congregation's Luther League members were preparing to serve a waffle supper. Injured were Ruth Chellberg, Adele Borg, Marion Dilley, and Steve Ignacik. Chellburg was severely burned but she did recover.
The church filed suit in the Porter Circuit Court for damages against the Protane Corporation and Illinois Bottled Gas Company to collect $21,000 in losses caused by the fire.
By August of 1933, construction had begun on the structure currently used by the congregation. The structure cost $30,000 to build and was sited at the same location of previous church.

The following newspaper item appeared in the February 17, 1900, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:
Chesterton Chips.
The Swedish Lutheran Augsburgs church decided at a meeting held Feb. 14 to build a new church this year. The plans call for a church the equal of any in the township. The basement will be of stone, and the main part of brick. The main part will seat 300 and the gallery 100. E. G. Peterson, of Englewood, Ills., is the architect, and will superintend the work. A lot of material will be donated, and also considerable labor, including hauling, by the congregation. Work on the edifice will begin as soon as the weather will permit.

The following two newspaper items appeared in the March 3, 1900, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:
Porter Pointers.
The members of the Swedish church have been hauling brick all this week from the Hydraulic yards for their new house of worship.
Rev. M. Lonner went to Joliet Wednesday to make the contract for stone for the foundation of the new church. He returned Thursday evening.
Carlson & Nelson have the contract for the building of the new Swedish church at Baillytown, the plans for which will call for the expenditure of about $4,000. The old edifice will be moved across the road from its present site and will be occupied by the church until the new structure is ready for dedication.

The following two newspaper items appeared in the May 5, 1900, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:
The Swedish Lutheran congregation of Baillytown will give a strawberry festival in the orchard at the parsonage this (Saturday) evening beginning at 7 o'clock, to which all are invited. The proceeds will be turned over to the church building fund.
E. G. Peterson, of Chicago, architect for the Baillytown church, was here last Tuesday and had a meeting with the building committee, and it was decided to begin work as soon as the old church is removed. The work will be in charge of the architect, who will come and inspect it once a week during it progress. J. P. Carlson was elected as foreman under the architect to take charge of the labor, etc.

The following newspaper item appeared in the July 6, 1900, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:
The Swedish Lutheran picnic given in Samuelson's grove on the Fourth of July netted the new church fund over $300. It was attended by over 2,000 people, a great many of whom were former residents of this township now living in neighboring towns, who were very generous to the cause. It is surprising the large number of people who once lived here that are now located elsewhere. They all return to renew old friendships on the fourth, preferring old friends to the attractions of the cities.

The following newspaper item appeared in the July 27, 1900, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:
CORNER STONE OF BAILLYTOWN CHURCH
Is Laid Amid Imposing Ceremonies and General Rejoicing by the Swedish Lutheran congregation Last Sunday
The corner stone of the new Swedish Lutheran Augsburg church at Porter was laid on Sunday afternoon last. All the members from the different districts of the church and a great many from Chesterton, Millers and other neighboring villages were present. It is possible there were 1000 present to witness this solemn ceremony. A little after three o'clock it began with the singing of a hymn in the Swedish language by the congregation. After the singing, Rev. H. O. Lindeblad, of Chicage [sic], gave the principal address of the occasion and had chosen for his text Jeremiah 51:50. "Remember the Lord from afar, and let Jerusalem come into your mind." In this address words were uttered that will always be remembered in the hearts of those present that could understand the beautiful language of the Swedish people. Rev. Housman of Chesterton, was the next speaker, and he gave an address in the German language. The writer of this not only understands German but is able to talk in that language also, therefore he is able to say that Rev. Housman gave both a good and very appropriate address for the occasion.
Rev. Lonner, pastor of the church was the third speaker. He spoke first in the Swedish language and gave a history of the church from its beginning, and stated that this building of which the corner stone now is to be laid will be the third the congregation has built in its history and had to worship in. Rev. Lonner gave the same address in English also. Rev. Lindeblad also made a few remarks in English, and a Swedish hymn was sung by the congregation while a collection was taken up, amounting to nearly $41. To close, the corner stone was laid by Rev. Lindblad, and he also pronounced the benediction over all present, over the congregation and over the work of the new church. The chorus also assisted in singing a very appropriate hymn.
The following articles were placed in the corner stone. Several Swedish newspapers and the Chesterton Tribune, a history of the church from its beginning until the present time, two of the Swedish hymn books that are now used in the church, one picture of the present pastor and his family, one new testament in the Swedish language, one medal made in honor of the meeting at Ujesala in 1539, when the Lutheran faith was established in all Sweden, one 50 cent piece, one 25 cent piece, one 10 cent piece, one 5 cent piece and one 1 cent piece and also a small copper coin of Swedish money, Luther's smaller catechism in Swedish, etc.
The church was established 48 years ago. At the beginning there were only eight families, in all 46 members, many of whom are now dead, and others have moved away from here. Only three of those who were with it from the beginning do yet belong to the church, and only two of them were present to see the laying of the corner stone. The names of those yet belonging are Otto Wistrand, of Salt Creek, James Erikson, of Baillytown, and Carl Gustaf Johnson, of Chesterton. When the church was established the members were all very poor; now the members are mostly all well off, and some are what may be said very wealthy. The congregation has always prospered and although many have year by year died and other have moved from here it has grown, and its present membership is 360. Eight pastors have as yet served the congregation. Rev. A. A. Andreen was the first pastor of the church. For some years he labored here and did good work, and that may be said of all his successors. Rev. P. Ljablom had charge of the church as its pastor from July 29, 1866, until April 1, 1869, when he moved to Minnesota where he is yet a laborer in God's vineyard. Rev. J. P. Nyquist was located here from Sept. 24, 1869, to May 30, 1871. Rev. Nyquist has been for many years, among those that rest the eternal rest above. Rev. C. H. Labeyren served the congregation from July 1, 1871, until the beginning of 1875. He is at present located in Nebraska. Rev. A. Challman was located here from March 3, 1875 to May 27, 1886. Two months ago he was by his Master relieved from work here and is now at rest in heaven. Rev. W. F. Doureen labored as the pastor of the congregation from June, 1891, to June 1, 1898. During 1898 Rev. O. V. Holmgrain, of Chesterton, served the congregation as its temporary pastor. Rev. M. J. Lonner has served the congregation since August 3d of last year.
Rev. Lonner has labored hard for the welfare and upbuilding of the congregation. The new church will, for generations to come, stand as a monument and as a proof of his faithful work. He has, in the last two months, raised over $1300 for the new church and he expected to be able to raise $700 more during this and next month. When the congregation decided to build the new church it had already nearly $2,000 in a fund for the same purpose, and with $2,000 more and all the donated labor it is expected the church will be paid for when finished, and it will be safe to say when furnished that it will be one of the finest country churches in the county.

As it is near to the dedication of our new church, that is so near to Nov. 25, I will kindly ask all who have donated to be present on that day at 10 a. m., to see the dedication of the grand, new church. The dedication sermon will be preached in Swedish by the Rt. Rev. Bishop von Scheele from Sweden. Afterwards will be a short sermon in English by Rev. Lofgren, of Michigan City, and then the Bishop will speak in English. After the dedication a good dinner will be served for all in the basement. The new church bell, which cost nearly $500 and is bought from Meneely & Co., West Troy, N. Y., will call to service for the first time that day. Be sure to come now and come early in order to get room. As many at Valparaiso have donated to our church I hope the Valparaiso papers will also give room for this invitation.
Respectfully,
M. J. LONNER, pastor.

The following newspaper item appeared in the November 29, 1901, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:
IMPRESSIVE DEDICATION SERVICES.
Held Last Monday in the New Swedish Lutheran Augsburg Church at Porter.
Bishop von Scheele, Personal Representative of King Oscar of Sweden, Presides Over the Ceremonies.
The Large Church is Packed to the Doors Withy People From Far and Near Who Came to Witness the Ceremonies.
BY MRS. HANNAH S. BURSTROM.
The greatest event in the history of the Swedish Lutheran Augsburg church of Baillytown took place at 10 a. m. Monday, when the new church was dedicated. The occasion was hightened [sic] by the presence of Bishop von Scheele, of Sweden, a representative of King Oscar II.
The services were opened by the singing of a song by the congregation, after which the Bishop made his appearance in the clerical robes of the State church of Sweden. He has a straight, fine figure, and the gray locks on his head made him look venerable indeed. His discourse was a very able one, and he seemed to speak from the fullness of his heart. He spoke for about 45 minutes the first time, in the Swedish language. After him spoke the Rev. Abrahamson, of Chicago, in Swedish; Rev. D. A. Lofgren, of Michigan City, spoke in English.
The dedication ceremonies were conducted by Bishop von Scheele, assisted by nearly a dozen ministers from Chicago and elsewhere, the ceremony being very solemn. After the dedication the Bishop spoke in English and German. At the close of the services everybody was invited to shake hands with him, and every one present took advantage of the opportunity to shake hands with the distinguished clergyman, and all were given a hearty return of the friendly greeting.
Greetings per telegram were read from King Oscar of Sweden.
At the close of the morning services dinner was served for the Bishop and his party in the parsonage, and for other friends in the basement of the church.
The Bishop and his party left for Chicago at 2 o’clock. The afternoon service was conducted by Rev. Siljesstrom, of Laporte, and Rev. Forsberg, of South Bend.
Thus closed the greatest day in the history of the church.
There was one thing, however, that was a sad disappointment, and that was that the new bell did not arrive in time. It came to Chesterton Saturday night, but that was too late to get it hoisted. The pastor and congregation had worked hard all summer to get the bell in time for the dedication, but were destined to be disappointed after all. But “every cloud has a silver lining,” as the saying is. The ball is here and will be in place before another Sabbath.
A few works, before we close, about the object of Bishop von Scheele’s visit to this country. Bishop von Scheele and Rev. P. W. Waldenstrom were invited by Yale University to attend their bi-centennial anniversary as representatives of two of the oldest and most noted colleges in Sweden. “Upsala” and “Geile” college. They really did not represent these institutions, but they figured as such at Yale because all foreign visitors had to represent some institution of learning from their own country.
Then by invitation of the Lutheran Augustana Synod of North America and also at the request of King Oscar II, to represent him, he has been visiting the principal churches, schools and other institutions of that synod. He has been received with enthusiasm everywhere. At the festivities held at Bethany College, Lindsburg, Kansas, a long telegram of greeting arrived from President Roosevelt, also one from U. S. minister to Sweden and Norway, W. W. Thomas.
The railroad companies have vied with each other to carry the Bishop and his party, and some have furnished special car for their benefit.
We understand he will leave the United States for his own country some time in December.
The corner stone of the new edifice was laid on Sunday afternoon July 22, 1900, in the presence of all the members of the church and a great many from Chesterton, Millers and other neighboring villages were present to witness the ceremony. The following articles were placed in the corner stone: Several Swedish newspapers, a copy of the Chesterton Tribune, a history of the church from the beginning until the present time, two of the Swedish hymn books, such as are now used in the church, one picture of the present pastor and his family, one new testament in the Swedish language, one medal in honor of the meeting at Ujesala, in 1539, when the Lutheran faith was established in all Sweden, one 50 cent piece, one 25 cent piece, one 10 cent piece, one 5 cent piece and one 1 cent piece, and also a small copper coin of Swedish money, and Luther’s smaller catechism in Swedish.
The church was established about fifty years ago, and at the beginning there were only eight families, 46 members in all, most of whom are now dead and others have moved away from here. When the church was established the members were all very poor, now they are all well off, and some are quite wealthy. The congregation has always prospered, and although many have passed away year by year, and others have gone to seek new homes and fortunes elsewhere, the membership has grown to nearly 400.
Eight pastors have served the congregation, Rev. A. Andreen being the first. He labored here for a number of years with excellent results. Rev. P. Ljablom was pastor of the church from July 29, 1866, until April 1, 1869, when he moved to Minnesota, where he is yet a laborer in God’s vineyard. Rev. J. P. Niquist was located here from Sept. 24, 1869 to May 30, 1871. Rev. C. H. Labeyron served the congregation from July 1, 1871, to 1875, and is now located in Nebraska. Rev. A. Challman came here March 3, 1875, and remained for over eleven years. He was succeeded by Rev. W. F. Doureen, who labored here until June 1, 1898. Rev. O. V. Holmgrain, of Chesterton, served the congregation temporarily until August 3, 1899, when Rev. M. J. Lonner, the present pastor, took up the work of the congregation, and to his untiring efforts may be credited the handsome new house of God.

Printed in an edition of 500 copies, this was one of only a very few books that Hilary Pepler printed in a type other than Caslon Old Style. To match the heavier line quality of the wood-engraved borders that surround the text, Pepler purchased a large font of Goudy Old Style Bold (although he still used Caslon on the title page).
Each week a family of the catechism class at the Cathedral receives this chalice with a set of prayers and readings for vocations. This was our week. We received a blessing during the Sunday evening mass and have been saying the prayers all week. The readings were well selected and made for a special experience.

Old Meeting House, probably the oldest "place of worship" building in Dudley, West Midlands, England.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Baylies's were members of the Old Meeting House, Dudley. The brothers Robert and Samuel with their sister Ann having prospered in life and having some idea of the benefits which might accrue to the rising generation, endowed and founded the school bearing their name in Pease Lane, now Tower Street, in 1832. From their tastes, which were mainly educative, we infer from many incidents, that they were of a literary nature, and somewhat in advance of the age.
As all education seemed to be incomplete without a Catechism, the Baylies's being Nonconformist chose and included in their scheme the Assembly's Shorter Catechism as being least Anglican.
The origin of the 'Protestant Dissenters' in Dudley dated from the ejection of the 2000 ministers occasioned by the Act of Nonconformity, which came into force on St Bartholomew's Day, August 24th, 1662. ... In the Birmingham 'Church and King Riots', June 1791, ... many of the chapels round about were dismantled, the Dudley Old Meeting House being among the number.
As stated before, the Baylies's possibly were of this Nonconforming body. www.flickr.com/photos/brianac37/5664749394/in/photostream/

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Old Meeting Congregation legally known as ‘Protestant Dissenters’ were originally Presbyterians but are now Unitarians. And can be traced back to the year 1662, when something like 2,000 Ministers throughout England were ejected from the Church of England, as a result of the Act of Uniformity. The first Chapel was erected in 1702, and was destroyed by rioters in 1715. It was rebuilt in 1717. The transition from old Presbyterianism to Unitarianism was apparently brough about by reason of the trust deed being one of the open kind ‘for the worship of God’ and the progressive change of thought. The Rev. George Eyre Evans (author of Vestiges of Protestant Dissent) in his coming work on ‘Midland Churches’ being the history of all the congregations now on the roll of the Midland Christian Union, and in which this congregation is included, has devoted special attention to the history of this Meeting House. It will contain biographies of the ministers with numerous facsimile autographs, particulars of the buildings, of the now extinct but important Dudley Double Lecture of Baylies’ and Parsons’ Schools, extracted from early prints and government documents, of the Inhedge Burial Ground and the Dudley Book Society. Mr. Eyre Evans having submitted to me his valuable manuscript for perusal and revision, it would be an ungracious act on my part to narrate here what he has written and intends for publication. His work will probably be in the hands of the public during the current year (1899).
The catechism in pictures is an exceptional educational work in the teaching of the Catholic faith. The first edition in English dates from 1912, but it is a translated version of the original French edition of 1908. A nun signed this copy on July 31, 1938, 80 years ago! The catechism today is a very thick book that is not very convenient for reading. If this book is easy for a child to read, then you will enjoy seeing and reading its content. You can download it in full by accessing the album that contains all these images. Good reading !

Saint Jean de Brébeuf (March 25, 1593 – March 16, 1649) was a Jesuit missionary, martyred in Canada on March 16, 1649.
Jean de Brébeuf was one of the first Jesuit missionaries to arrive in Canada during the early 17th Century. Brébeuf developed a special relationship with the Huron-Wendat First Nation. Among his many accomplishments, he founded several schools and wrote a catechism and dictionary in the Huron-Wendat native language. In 1930, Pope Pius XI canonized Brébeuf in recognition of his commitment, humanitarian work and sacrifices made for the Huron-Wendat People.

Photo from the collection of my dad's aunt, Clara Huggins (1875-1958), January 1899; my great-grandmother's house in the tiny hamlet of "The Hook" in North Argyle, Town of Argyle (Washington County), NY. Clara labeled this photo simply as "Catechism," I am not sure why. I suspect this might have been around New Years. All of my grandfather's sisters are here, along with 3 others. Clara is on the left, partially obscured (She worked as a long-time domestic for a well-off industrialist's family, the Coolidge's, of the nearby city of Glens Falls, NY, and was a prolific amateur artist and painter). Her sister Mary Lucina (Mazie) (1879-1961) is in the middle looking down at the bowl (she was a college student at Plattsburgh Normal School, later SUNY Plattsburgh, studying to be a teacher; she later married Grant Tefft, the publisher of the Greenwich, NY, "Greenwich Journal" and "Salem Press" newspapers); Nancy (1876-1955) is on the far right (later married farmer Archibald Skellie, and lived in her mother Lucina's house); Adah (1886-1964) is just left of Nancy (leaning in; she later married Richard McKenzie, a governmental program administrator and hospital consultant, 1889-1957). Elizabeth "Libby" Shields Gillis (1858-1935; widow of Charles Gillis) is holding the bowl and spoon. The other two women on either side of Libby Gillis are unidentified.
