Ill last niht, win n it In hiH up-
partin.iits of tho upleildid vestibule
chapel car.. The Kite f"T the new

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

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

dence, His work with the chapel car
ends here today when he will return

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 is a pleasure to
note that with the assurance oi me
