Then he began the seeming­ ly endless task of whittling out the hull. He made this about three feet long, one foot high, with sfyip sides a quarter of an inch thick. Port holes along the sides were lined with glass. The deck, rail, landing lad­ der, wheel house and all the acces­ sory equipment of a real exesan liper were added.

CIURCIES Ulfirc SUNDAY TO CELEBRATE FEAST OF COR­ PUS CHRIST! • £ Pat IbMohcib of St. MaryV f̂iitf St Patrick's Churches WOl Join In Procession • The feast of Corpus Christi (the body of Christ) is celebrated on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday to solemnly commemorate the institu­ tion of the Holy Eucharist. From apostolic times the church celebrated the institution of the most holy sac­ rament of the al^ar on Thursday of Holy Week, but as that is a season of sadness, when the minds of Chris­ tians are expected to be occupied with thoughts of the Lord's passion, and so many functions took place on that day, the principal event was al­ most lost sight of. Pope Urban IV. in 1264 ordered the annual celebra­ tion of Corpus Christi on thfe Thurs­ day after Trinity Sunday. In this and some other countries the sol­ emnity is held on Sunday after Trin­ ity. From this account taken in sub­ stance from the Catholic encyclo­ pedia, McHenry citizens will have a reason for the solemn procession of the Blessed Sacrament^ which will take place next Sunday at 10:30 thru several of the village streets and participated in by the members of St. Mary's and St. Patrick's parishes. The procession will start from St. Patrick's church and end at St. Mary's. The line of march will be as fol­ lows: East on Washington to Front, south to public square, from altar in public square to Court street, north on Court to Washington, west on Washington to St. Patrick's rectory, south from St. Patrick's on Green street to Pearl, east on Pearl to St. Mary's church. Altars are to be erected in the pub­ lic square and on the porch of St Patrick's rectory, and the streets on the way will be fittingly decorated. The order to be followed in the procession will be as follows: Cross bearer, boys and girls of both par­ ishes, church societies, Knights of Columbus, men Foresters, others not belonging to societies, choir, ° altar boys, flower girls, censor bearers, priest carrying Blessed Sacrament St Mary's flower girls will be taken from the school children and all will be dressed in white. The first com­ municants of last Sunday at St Pat­ rick's will act as flower girls' from St Patrick's. The marshals' of the day are Carl W. Stenger, Stephen H. Freund and Wm. Schreiner of St Mary's; Peter Doherty and Henry Schaefer of St Patrick's. Ben Stilling, Math. Blake, Jr., John Phalin and Will Welch will carry the canopy over the celebrant with the Blessed Sacrament The St Mary's decorating commit­ tee is as follow: Stephen H. Freund, Ben Stilling, „ Louis Oertel, John Thennes, Math. Blake, Jos. Justen, John King, John Neiss, Ben Brefeld, Jos. Schneider. This procession, whose purpose is to give public expression of worship to the Christ of the Eucharist really present as He is in the Sacred Host, is like the feast of Corpus Christi it­ self of venerable antiquity dating back to the early 14th century and indulgenced by Popes Martin 5th and Eugene IV. nearly 200 years before the religious revolution of . the six­ teenth century^ Forges Check on F. H. Wattles A check of $410.34, made payable to a Mr. Eisman, was forged at the bank at Richmond one day last week, when a man, entering the hardware store of Mr. Kruse and after looking over the stock, decided to purchase a $20 stove, and in order that his wife (?) might be suited decided to bring her into town the following day and also his milk wagon to carry home the purchase. Producing the check he kindly asked Kruse to ac­ company him to the bank and iden­ tify him, where he received payment in full for his stove, and Eisman got away with the balance. The check, being returned to the West McHenry State bank, was easily detected by Cashier C. W. Stenger as a forgery by the penmanship and spelling of W"h"attles. The Illinois State Bank­ ers' association, together with the local bank authorities,. have the mat­ ter in hands. At|y. J. I. Lang of Richmond is retained on the case. -- 1 Prise Bowling Tournament E.
