Father Terence Caraher of St. Francis church, San Francisco, deliv- ered the dedicatory sermon. In an elo- quent address he paid high tribute to the Catholic religion and dwelt upon the great influence of the church upon every individual from the moment of birth until the final sacrament and death. He declared that the three great means of salvation were the sacraments of the church, the sacrifice of the mass and the word of God. He congratulated the. members of the parish on the erec- tion of a church worthy of Him, and thanked the congregation on behalf of Rev. Father Ki#ly,his former assistant, for their genefous contributions. He closed with declaring that this day sal- vation had come to the church of St. Louis Bertrand. /.'\u25a0 During the beautiful ceremonies of "entrance to the altar" and •"sanctus" the offertory, Willards "Ava Verum." was sung by Mrs. W. E. Dargie. accom- panied by Mrs. Nora Sandy Adams, At the conclusion of these ceremonies Bishop O'Connell addressed the congre- gation, as follows: But a short year ago you started to build this edifice, and yet I see no signs of haste In these beautiful surroundings. You today have this sweet little church because there was energy behind the movement — energy of determination and en- erpy of generosity. * - The selection of St. Louis Ber- trand ac patron saint of this Ala- meda county church is of peculiar significance. St. Louis was, by blood and by birth, a Spaniard, but by choice, by labor and by toil, he was an American. He came from Valencia, Spain, to America, and for a third of a century labored suc- cessfully to convert the natives. He returned to Valencia to die and now sleeps tiiere. In the selection of St. Louis Ber~ trand you have chosen more than a patron saint — you have chosen a much needed model to live by. St. Louis was strong in his faith, self- sacrificing to the highest degree and consumed by one passion — the welfare of his neighbors. Had all the priests, monks and bishops lived as he did there would have been no reformation and the west- ern nations would have been undi- vided in religion. And yet St. Louis, &s noble as he was. was afraid to die, for he feared judgment. If he, who de- voted his life to the welfare of his neighbors, feared to die, what shall we thJnk of ourselves? How many people die today in fear of judg- ment? I wonder if there is any puch thing as justice In this world? What we call justice is simply a happy contrivance, a sublimination of our duties. We can evade the operation of our laws, representing our justice, though he who does so itt an unworthy citizen. But there Is one thing certain— <sod is Jus- tice. Before him all are equal and his judgment we must some day mcct — we can not evade it. So St. Louis was right to fear death. What we need in this country to- day more than anything else is a fear of God and his Judgment and a greater respect for human law*.;-** Following this address the pontifical benediction was given. "O Saluturls," by Williams, was sung by Mrs. W. C. Bills, while Rosewlg's trio, "Tantum Ergo," was rendered by Mrs. Bills, Mrs. Adams and Professor Sandy. At the conclusion of the ceremonies the vlelting clergy was entertained at luncheon by Rev. Father James Kiely and his assistant, Rev. Michael Powers. MUSIC BY PARISH CHOIR The mueic and singing during the mass, a special feature of the cere- monies, was under the direction of Prof. S. J. Sandy of Oakland, and was rendered by the parish choir, composed of the following: Sopranos— Mrs. \C. C Bills. Miss Lj-flla. Sag- !i*r. Mi&s Rose Stiffens.
