Special to The Bulletin.
Macon, Ga.—Wednesday morning
June 6 at 10 o’clock the closing ex
ercises of Mount l)e Sales took- place
in the Recital Hall of the Academy.
Simplicity lias always been a
marked feature of the Mount De
Sales commencement programs. In
Wednesday’s exercises several choice
selections formed a Musical setting
for the original valedictory poem
of Miss Elizabeth Macken of Macon,
the only graduate of 1923.
Miss Macken’s subject was “The
Day Is Now Far Spent,’’ a metrical
rendering of the Gospel narrative of
St. Luke, XXIV-13-36. She held the
close attention of the audience from
the beginning to the end of the
solemn and beautiful story.
Following the Scriptural poem,
Miss Macken delivered her valedic
tory. She also contributed to the
program a violin number, “Schar-
wenkas Polish Dances,” accompanied
on the piano by Miss Rose Jeanne
Slifer of Atlanta.
Rev. L. A. Guyol,, S.J.. the Chap
lain of Mt. I)e Sales Academy, gave
the closing address replete with
sound views and happy illustrations.
He made an appeal for the incor
poration of these philosophic princi
ples into the present day life. He
particularly stressed this upbuilding
of strong Christian character, the
formation of self control, suppres
sion of passion and ctose imitation
of Jesus Christ in morals.
The Musical selections rendered
were:
I. “Poet and Peasants,” Von Suppe,
the Misses Estill, Benson and
Peters. Violins. Misses Mack
en, Raya, Hancock.
II. “Zampa Ovcrtusa,” Harold—
the Misses Slifer, Scbaub Pav
j lovsky and Raya,
lit. “I 1 Trovatosa, ’ Verdi Selections
—the Misses Callaghan, Sheri
dan, Nell and Jeanette Hahn,
Mary I.ackay, Edna Daly, Kath
erine May lluthnance.
IV. “Hungarian Rhapsody,” No. 2.—
Miss Rose Jeanne Skifer.
Alumna Program.
Wednesday, June 6, 7 p. m., business
meeting; 8 o'clock alumnae
tea.
Thursday June 7, 6:45 a. m„ Holy
Mass for the living and the de
ceased members of the Asso
ciation with sermon by the
Chaplain of Mt. De Sales.
The Alumnae of Mount De Sales
founded and organized under defi
nite constitution and by-laws in
June, 1901, held their annual busi
uess meeting in the Study Hall of
Mt. De Sales, Wednesday evening ^t
7 o'clock.
The meeting was followed by the
Alumnae Tea, a yearly function of
great social interest. The entire
local membership was present.
The Alumnae of Mount Dc Sales
has proved itself one of the most
active organization of this kind in
tile Soutii. Every Catholic movement
of Macon, and especially every move
ment in behalf of their Alma Mater.
Mount De Sales Academy, has had
the energizing influence of this body
of spiritual, young women to carry
it to success.
The building of the new convent
in 1910-1911, and tile canceling of flic
debt remaining on Mount I)e Sales
in 1920, 020,000 was in great part
inaugurated and carried to comple
tion through the efforts of the Alum
nae and their zealous co-workers, the
parishioners of St. Joseph’s Church.
The “Mount De Sales Alumnae”
was one of the first in the-South to
affiliate with the'International Fed
eration of Catholic Alumnae, hold
ing charter membership in said As
sociation and always identifying it
self as far as practicable witli the
splendid interests of that great body
of Catholic Convent Graduates. The
position of State Govenor of the I.
C. F. A. was held by an AHimfia of
Mt. De Sales, Miss Julia McCreary
of Macon, for a period of eight years
Not confining itself to Mount Dc
Sales, although Mt. De Sales has al
ways held the first place, the Alum
nae Association lends a helping hand
to every worthy undertaking of
Church and State.
When St. Stanislaus College was
burned November 7, 1921, the Mount
De Sales Alumnae immediately gave
a donation of one hundred dollars
to the Jesuit Fathers to aid in sup
plying their needs, and for such a
cause they would . have multiplied
iheir gift a hundred fold had it
been possible. Several donations of
$25 009 were given (1) to Rev. J. B.
Frankhauscr, S.J., to aid in a cam
paign to remove bigotry; (2) To the
Sidney Lanier Memorial Association
for a memorial, to our great Macoii
poet, Sidney Lanier; (3) to the
Daughters of the Confederacy for
tile Admiral Benson Sword; (4) to
the fund for Rt. Rev. B. J. Keiley,
D.D., retitred.
In the Red Cross activities during
the World War the Alumnae of Mt.
Dc Sales identified themselves witli
the St. Joseph Red Cross Unit and
sponsored the Mount de Sales Red
Cross Unit and the St. Joseph Paro
chial School for Boys. These two
school units contributed in three
months $1,000.00 to the “Earn and
Give Drive. ’ Resides this they gave
a much larger sum through enter
tainments, the makRig of garments
for the war stricken people of Eu
rope, the buying of War Stamps,
bonds and by aiding the soldiers
camps and hopsitals. The Mount De
Sales Junior Red Cross also adopted
a French Orphan, little Jeanne Gc-
ncsta of Algiers, and supported him
three years. This great work was
carried on by the Sisters of Mt. De
Sales and their old pupils encourag
ing the present student body and
supplying the money for this ac
complishment of its aims.
The funds for the Mount De Sales
float and school participation in the
recent Centenial Celebration were
given jointly by the Catholic Wo
men’s Club and the Alumnae of
Mount de Sales. The City is still
praising the Mount Dc Sales design
which was considered unique and
very beautiful. One of the splendid
achievements of the Mount De Sales
Alumnae Association is the main
taining of a $300.00 Scholarship at
Mount De Sales. This laudihle work
was founded in 1903, and was intend
ed to be an aid to the Georgia Mis
sions around Macon and extending
to South and Southwest Georgia,
where there arc not any convents or
resident preists, the beneficiary to
be proposed by one of t lie priests
of the Missions, and to be subject
to the approval of Mount De Sales.
When the drive for the new Mount
De Sales started in 1906( the schol
arship was set aside temporarily, but
it was renewed in 1922.
The officers of The Alumnae of
Mount De Sales for 1923-1924 are:
President, Mrs. E. A. Sheridan, Ma
con, Ga.; vice presidents, Miss Annie
Mock, Albany, Ga ; Miss Martha Ma
this Washington, D. <1.; Miss Jose
phine Nelliogan Chicago, 111, and
Miss Gertrude Kieley, Brooklyn, N.
Y.; secretary, Miss Lottie May Red
mond, Macon, Ga.; treasurer ^Miss
Elizabeth Cusson, Macon, Ga.
PUBLIC LECTURES
On Misrepresented Catholic
Topics in Oregon.
Portland, Ore.—The Rev. Alvah W.
Doran, Missionary of the Philadel
phia Archdiocese, has been coivy / ,ct-
ing in the municipal auditorium a
series of religious meetings which
are proving to he the largest in
the history of (he city. Beginning
with an audience of 3,000 the num
bers have risen to 4500. Five lec
tures comprise the scries which
deals witli the fundamentals of
Catholic teaching with special at
tention given to the usual attacks
on the Catholic church, attacks in
which Oregon lias been especially
prolific of late.
In addition to the lectures, the
question has been a feature of meet
ings. Pamphlets, especially prepar
ed by the Catholic Truth Society,
of Oregon, under whose auspices
Father Doran appears here, have
been distributed at each meeting.
The Portland lectures are the be
ginning of a lecture tour which will
lake Father Doran over a large part
of the state of Oregon and will
occupy his time for several months.
Chicago Parish Flourishes
Grows From 85 to 1,036
Families in 2 5 Years.
Chicago, III.,—The celebration of
tlie silver jubilee of Presentation
Parish on the far west side of Chi
cago, and of the pastorate of Rev.
Father James J. Jennings will con
tinue throughout May and extend
into June, discloses some facts which
illustrate the growth of Catholicity
in Chicago.
The parish, when organized by
Father Jennings in 1898 contained
85 Catholic families, .arid was with
out church property.
Today, Presentation parish lias a
Catholic population of 1036 families,
and its material growth can he meas
ured best liy the fact that its pres
ent holdings are appraised at $1,
284,000 free from debt.
Stained Glass Tariff
Affected By New Ruling of
Treasury Department.
Washington—Stained glass win
dows intended for presentation to
religious institutions, which were or
dered abroad prior to the passage of
the Tariff Act of 1922 may be ad
mitted to tlie United States without
the payment of duty under a new
decision of the Treasury Department.
The decision upholds the inhterpre-
tation of the Tariff law whereby
such windows in which the artistic
production constitutes the element
of chief value are classified as works
of art. Windows ordered prior to
the passage of the present law are
given the right of free entry under
the Department’s ruling, on the
ground that the paragraph of the law
of 1922 concerning this subject is
identical in language with a para
graph in the law of 1913 which has
been construed by tlie Court of Cus
toms Appeal to confer that right.
Notification of the Department's
decision has been given to the Ap
praiser of Merchandise and tlie Col
lector of Customs at New York where
the case involving this issue arose.
The Treasury Department, through
the Division of Customs, has also
notified collectors at other ports that
windows imported may be properly
classified in accordance with the new
ruling.

Lutheran Laymen Finds Ca
tholic Commendation for
Efforts in That Direction.
Brooklyn, N. Y.—In a recent ad
dress to the Men’s Clul), of St.
Paul’s Lutheran Church, Supreme
Court Justice James C. Cropsey de
plored the Jack of religion among
men, staling that a good many of
them shirk their religious obliga
tions. He urged the members to
form themselves into a committee
and canvass the district to ascer
tain what number of men of the
Protestant faith fail to attend
church.
“The men, I say, don’t do all they
should by the church,” said the
judge. “But the women are all
hustlers. I remember sitting in
the church with which I am con
nected, the Classon Avenue Pres
byterian Church, and watching the
attendance falling each Sunday. I
realized that I was not giving all
that I should to the church. I talk
ed the matter over with some oth
ers, and we decided to go among
the men in the territory and see if
they attended church.
“I felt the job was going to he
an unpleasant one. Rut I was sur
prised to find that it was most
pleasing. We visited every man, ir
respective of his faith. We were
well received and our work was
commended. We have increased the
attendance. The first call was made
on a member of Father Bclford’s
Church (Roman Catholic). He
told us he went to Father Ilclford’s
church, treated us kindly and com
mended our work. This encouraged
us to push ahead.
“While I haven’t figures on
hand, I dare say that we found
about one-half of the men of the
Protestant faith that we called oil
didn’t attend any church. Some of
them told us they hadn’t been to
church in 30 years. To get them to
church, we even called for them on
Sunday.”
