Ind. pendrine will havfl a Catholic church. This inn. h bus n.-eii deter mined, b fcaid Father II. J. M'liev. Ill last niht, win n it In hiH up- partin.iits of tho upleildid vestibule chapel car.. The Kite f"T the new edifice has been practically decided upon hut the father is not yet ready to make public the particulars as to loHation. This Is K'X'd news for the follow ers of Cathollcy of this locality as well as to the Interests of Independ ence geiieru'ly. The Catholic gospel car leaves to day on Us tour of missionary work. From Independence It goes to Mill City. The car is a beautiful struct ure on wheels and is put into the. field of missionary work by the Cath olic Church Extension Society of America and its purpose Is to take care of tho villages and communities which have no churches and to ex tend the Faith to the vast army of ought-to-be and usi!d-;o-be Catholics who are now without priests or churches. It Is in charge of G'-orgij C. Hennessey, superintendent of chapel cars. At a tons native estimate there are a million and a half of Catholics in America who are without church es or priests and It was with this Tact in mind that the car was com missioned in o its present extension wor.k. The society for Catholic extension work was organized four years ago and through the influence of Its en deavors and the visit of the cnapei car, churches have s-.rung up all ove - the United States in the waKe oi u.t church on wheels. Faher MiDevitt was assisted In his labors here In Independence oy Father William Daly, rector of St. Mary's church, of Portland. In Fath er McDevilt's missions on the west side of the Willamette are Newberg. Sheridan, McMinnville and Indepen dence, His work with the chapel car ends here today when he will return to Portland. Father MfDevitt Is a man of nlost pleasing personality which has won for him many friends here in Indepcn deuce during this and his former vis- it ot a ye!lr ago. It is a pleasure to note that with the assurance oi me new church In Independence his vis Its will be more frequent. New Books for Library.
