Monsignor M. A. Shine The honor was conferred last June in the rallied message from the office of the papal secretary of state. Cardinal Claparri, but the distinguish ed churchman was not formally invested with the full splvndor of the church until yesterday. It was a fitting honor for the preat work that Father Shine has perform ed for the church in handling its af fairs and his untirini? labor in de veloping the early history of Nebras ka and the west which is to add much to the historic lore of this portion of the west. The entire city of Plattsmouth paid its honor to Father Shine as well r.s his own parishioners and the St. John's church as well as the banquet hall at the Kniehts of Columbus build in? was overflowing with those who would share in the paying of honor to this very able and genial priest of the church. The Rt. Rev. Francis J. Beckmann, Rishop of Lincoln, the highest digni tary of the Lincoln diocese, was present for the investiture and the banquet that followed and gave the honors to his faithful priest. The investiture service was held at the St. John's church at 4 o'clock, and long before that hour the mem bers of the congregation and friends began to assemble to join in the trib ute to tho beloved rector and a very large number of friends from all sec tions of the state assembled here to join in th. impressive ceremonies. The church was filled to its utmost lapaeity by - the friends of Father Shin to lionrr him and to greet the disf ingn!el uest of honor of the day, tUe;JDjsJiop of Lincoln diocese. The beautiful white and gold altar w ith its i;)ov. in'; candles ami the dec-oratior.S-'flf tlK- red roses made a most impressive sight as before it was performed with piety and cere mony the investing of the parish priest with his new honors. The master of ceremonies at the in vestiture service was Father Theodore Saurer, rector ot St. Mary's church of Nebraska City and who arranged the details of t Ii - impressive service. The Episcopal processional took place a few moments after I o'clock, twenty priests of the Omaha and Lincoln dioceses leading tho proces sional and followed by Monsignor Shine in his robes of office and the processional closing as the august figure of Rishop Francis J. Reck mann, in the purrdo robes of the high office of the church, moved to the altar offering t lie blessing of the church on the- assembled congrega tion.

This being also the occasion of the Prst pastoral vi.-dt of the bishop, it was made th event of the annual address to the members of the parish and church here. Rishop Reckmann in his address gave a very inspiring account of his visit to Rome in the jubilee year. Ifl23, relating the ex periences of seeing the pilgrims from every country of the globe, all speak ing a different language and wor shipping at the altar of the common church. In his address to the members of the congregation the bishop told of the long history of the Roman Cath olic church that claimed its descent from the hands of Christ through St. Peter and from him down through the various heads of the church to the present day. The church today is the same as it was when the fisherman, St. Peter, established it, the bishop stated; the visitors at Rome on their visit to the eternal city where the first churches had been established, could worship at the same altars and use the same ceremonies that had been the ones of the early Christians in the catacombs of Rome when the believers in the Christian faith were under persecution from the forces of the Roman empire. Though the 1.925 years since the Christian relig ion had first been brought to earth the Catholic church remained the same as it had been at the beginning although all else in the world had changed. The bishop also called at tention to the statement that was in the words of Divine authority that the church should suffer the same as Christ in His life, from persecution, but would emerge triumphant from the ordeal, as it was divine in origin and purpose. The choir of the church with Mrs. P. J. Flynn and Mrs. William Wool cot as soloists assisted in the service and the celebration of ,the blessed sacrament. Banquet at K. of C.

The banquet hall was arranged in the purple colors, which were being , assumed by Monsignor Shine, this color scheme being carried out in dows, the purple shaded electric : Cj a -'jf- t,r;Vi:t lights and the candles on the tables, while extensive floral decorations of flowers of red and purple hue served to add a pleasing touch to the scene. The banquet itself was all that could be asked and the menu that the ladies of the parish had prepared was most thoroughly enjoyed by all of the party and exquisitely served j by the younger ladies of the Catholic 1 Daughters. j The menu of the banquet was as i follows: I Fruit Cocktail Olives Stuffed Celery Tickles Creamed Chicken in Patty Shells Candied Sweet Potatoes Puttered Reefs Hot Rolls Conserve Head Lettuce Salad with 100 Island Dressing Wafers Grape Ice Assorted Co tfee Cakes During the serving of the banquet an orchestra composed of K. H. Sihulhof. Cyril Kalina, L. D. lliatt, Mrs. Robert Rood. Mrs. A. D. Cr.bl well. Clarence Ledgway and Anton Rajack gave a very pleasing program of instrumental music that added to '.be interest and pleasure of the ban quet. The banquet toast list was presided over by Rev. R. D. O'Connor, of Have b k, v ho was most fittingly choo:i for his position and made a clever ami very witty introduction of the various speakers on the program and provided a very distinctive lv enter taining feature of the banquet. The address of welcome was deliv ered by Mayor John P. Sattler. who gave the greeting of the e?ty io Rishop Reckmann and the distin guished visitors who vere in attend ance, and also paid a very high ccin plirnent to Monsignor Shine in hN r.ev.iy acquired honor that was most fittingly bestowed. Dr. Matt i-evcrin. oi Omaha, was heard in two vnc. tl selections, being so heartily encored that he was forced t respond twice and with difficulty was allowed to take hi seat, so deli?htcd were the members of tho banque-t party with his offer ings. Mrs. Robe-rt Reed served as ac companists for Dr. Soverins solos. The toast. 'Our Holv rather, was responded to by Father William .1. (.race, president of Creighton univer sity, who told of the long history of the Cathcdh church and the JIM of 2'0 prelates who had been the suc cessors of St. Peter in the throne of the poper. of the church in its world wide activities and of the unchang ing faith and tenets of the church that embraced membership in all parts of the globe. Miss Elizabeth Reverage of this city responded to two very charm ing vocal numbers, "The Rosary" and "Mother Mac hree." both of whic h were artistically given and the ac companiment for which was played by Miss Eleanor Hibor. The toast, "Our Country," was re sponded to by W. M. Whelan. of Hast ings, grand knight of the Knights of Columbus of Nebraska. The speak ers stated that the land that was lirst discovered by Columbus was peopled by men and women who had come to these shores from oppressions in the old world and to found a new nation dedicated to liberty on the continent of America. The consti tution of the United States has as sured the liberty that the forefathers had sought by its guarantees of free speech, liberty of thought and belief and the freedom of the individual. The people of today are privileged to share in the fruits and glory of these liberties but they must maintain the rights thus given them by vigilance and service as true and worthy citi zens of the nation that has given to them this freedom. The speaker de clared that Catholic citizens have borne their part in the national life and shared with others the great lib erty that has been made a part of the American government, and as long as the constitution existed there will be a guarantee of life and liberty to the citizens of the nation. He stress ed the fact that the family tie is the unit of American life now as it has been in the past, and on it the future life of the nation will depend. The duties of citizenship, he said, also carry with them the responsibility of religious belief, as a nation with a government like ours could not exist without a Christian faith to back it up. To those who would create dis sention among the American people, it is better, he said, to ignore them than to quarrel with them. The citizens were warned to beware of movements that profess to he for American ideals, but whose teachings are such as to overturn the American bulwarks of liberty and freedom. Mrs. A. D. Caldwell, in her usually I pleasing manner, gave one of her violin selections and to the delight of the audience responded with an en core number that was very much ap preciated. Mrs. Robert Reed served as the accompanist. Father W. L. D. Iliggins, the genial and popular priest of St. Patrick's church at Manley was called upon for the toast.
