Saint. Michael's Church. The frescoeing of the church is completed, and presents to all a work of art. The color used was light Nile green, inlaid with stencil color to match. Blue friezes, trimmed in gold, and bordered with roses, make an added charm.

The ceiling is laid in panels, in each of which is a picture which represents a study. All of these pictures are emblems sacred to the church. There is the Sacred Heart, Christ's face on the handkerchief, the Cross and crown, Prayer Beads, representation of the Four Gospels, Italian and Irish Harps, The Lamb Slain, The Stork feeding her young with her. own heart's blood, the G. A.

R. badge with the stars and stripes, and many others all of which will have to be seen to be fully appreciated. Over the main entrance is the morning star surrounded by a circle of thirteen smaller stars. Above the altars of Saint Joseph and Saint Marie are beautiful tiger lillies bending their graceful waxen cups. On the walls are panels, fourteen in number, in which will be placed paintings, which will represent Christ's trial, death, crucifixtion and the tomb.

The space above the main altar is a work of beauty. A thirty inch frieze of roses borders the space. The picture is a clouded sky, dotted with golden stars, and in the center, a halo of light through which the Holy Spirit is descending in the form of a dove. The expense of this work amounts $650, and to fully appreciate its real beauty and worth requires time to study it: The workmen who did the painting may be proud of their success, and the people of St. church may be doubly proud of their beautiful place of worship.

It is a place to delight, to honor. Great credit should be given to Rev. Father Leary who labored hard to make this a success and he has accomplished what he sought to do. Union Thanksgiving Services at the Congregational church, on Nor. ember 30, at 10:30 A.
