Ascension Day The most impressive ceremonies ever witnessed in Johnsburg took place on Thursday of last week, when Ascension and Memorial day services were nandueted by the parishioners of St. John's church. High mass was celebrated at the church, after which a procession was formed and everyone marched to the ccmetery. Leading the procession, winch was the largest ever witnessed here, were three of our soldier boys, who have returned home from service, Nick Miller, Fred Freund ami Henry Schaefer. These three alternately carried a large and most beautiful American flag. Following in order were Rev. Wm. Weber, pastor of St John's church, with cross and -acolytes; sisters and school children, surpliced acolytes, church choir, M. J. McEvoy of St. Patrick's church, McHenry, and acolytes, Young Men's sodality, Young Ladies' sodality, men of the parish and women of the parish. Arriving at the cemetery a triple circle was formed, in the center of which was placed the service flag with the gold star to symbolize the grave of our deceased soldier, Edward Tonyan. The stars and stripes occupied a place beside the service flag with William Altholf and Lonnie Michels, also returned soldier boys, standing at guard. The two clergymen took their places in the center of the assemblage and facing the flans Rev. McEvoy gave one of the mo.st eloquent sermons ever listened to by the people of this community. The speaker eulogized on our patriotism and the emotion with which his sermon was received was a sight never before witnessed here. Both men and women, with tear filled eyes, stood as if in a trance during the entire oration. It was indeed an occasion that will not be forgotten in many a day. The church choir is deserving of praise for its splendid redition of re ligious as well, as the national hymns. After the sermon and the blessing of the graves the assemblage again formed the prosession in perfect order and marched back into the church, where the services were concluded with benediction by Rev. Father McEvoy. The entire community was present to take part in the event, which will pro down in local history as the biggest and most impressive ever held here. RINGWOOD W. M.
