John's mother, Elizabeth, was a first cousin of thV Blessed Virgin Mary from whom Jesus Christ took His human nature. John lived and died a Jew, because the Christian religion had not yet been founded.

On Tuesday of last week we had the feast of St. Aloysius, a Jesuit seminarian; and best of all we had an enjoyable visit from two Jesuit teachers of Loyola University. One of these guests was a school mate of the three Kemper brothers who, excluding our pastor, are the only American priests by that name. This Kemper Jesuit trio studied with cousins of the Kerrville pastor at Dayton University. One is now -located at St.

Louis University; another in Ohio; and the third in Belize, British Honduras. the only college campus in Central America available for Colonel Lindbergh in his Pan-American airplane circuit. Today (Thursday 29th), closes for the Roman elite, their social year, which does not reopen till the feast of St. Charles, Nov. 4.

In the Vatican City State (like the President's District of Columbia) a papal, independent extra-territorial tract of land of an area of 108 acres surrounded by the Italian city of Rome, there is a solemn celebration of the feast of St. Peter, first of the Popes. Very Rev. James A. Walsh 'will 'be consecrated bishop at Father Kemper's Alma Mater.

On the same day, June 29, a fellow-alumnus, Very Rev, John A. Duffy; will be consecrated Bishop of Syracuse, N.Y. The co-consecrators are also class mates: Bishop James A. Griffin of Springfield, and Bishop Alphonsc J. Smith of Nashville.

The last named preached the centennial sermon at Chicago's one hundreth birthday. N. D. U. Acolyte When the Sacrel Sacrifice and Sacrament of the Altar, the Holy Mass, was about to begin last- Sunday in Our Lady of Guadlupe Church, a young man presented himself in the sacristy and volunteered to be acolyte.

He was none other than John Rogers Young who is now being taught at Notre Dame University by some of Father Kemper's former pupils. John hurried to "our little Notre Dame" in the Texas Alps, as soon as the big commencement was over. Besides the presentation of the fiftieth laetare medal to John McCormack, the exercises differed from previous ones by the shooting of another Notre Dame movie; this time to serve as an educational picture which will portray the six most beautiful campuses in the country. In "The Spirit of Notre Dame," the All-American football tackle, Joe Kurth, was filmed. Miss Virginia Ortleib went further in this marry month of June, and tackled him for life partner.

A Mexican funeral of historic significance took place when a grandson of Luis Ayala, was buried beside this Kerrville pioneer in the Fredericksburg Road cemetery. The old trail blazer, was buried there on the last Texas Independence Day by Father Kemper, although Luis had been sole owner of the three-fourths acre constituting the Mexican cemetery on the Hai'per Road. The only exception is the undisputed abstract of title which Luis Ayala had sold to R. J. Castillo with the curtailment of enough space for the grave of Father Kemper.

The original owner of this Mexican burial ground was Chonick Selph, who helped defeat Santa Ana (1836) on the San Jacinto battle ground. For valuable assistance in surveying this only tract sold by Luis Ayala, thanks are due to the Grecian-named Al- cibiades Lycurgus Starkey. All expenses of the widowed Mrs. Maria Moreno's living, illness and funeral were taken care of by Ramon J. Castillo, who loaded himself in behalf of this pioneer wid- od, with a tremendous charity burden burden because of the ever- ready cudminators.

In trying to audit carefully a legal inventory of many years, Don Ramon's outstanding honesty caused him to engage a counselor at law, to whom all critics are referred. Among recent Mexican baptisms were a daughter of Percy Bowles, a son of E. Rodriguez; and a son of J. Lopez. Santa Rosa Aviatrix Hardly did Santa Rosa Hospital complete its last commencement, when one of the nurses flew by plane to the Chicago fair.

KERRVILLE MOUNTAIN SUN, KERRVILLE. TEXAS EPISCOPAL CHURCH of'' 4. Kredtrlc M. 4- Next Sunday, July 2, and the third after Trinity, service will be as follows: Holy communion at 7:45 a. m.

and again at 11 o'clock. During the slimmer there will be early holy communion at 7:45 on the first and third Sundays of each month, this being especially to accommodate both visitors and the hospitals Where certain patients are allowed to come' in on the early service, thus giving them monthly both opportunities. Sunday School at 9:45 a. m. as usual.

We would like to say a word about the visitors who come to us in such pleasant numbers. You are welcome. That goes virtually without saying; however, we want you to know how much we appreciate your presence amongst us. One of the interesting and at the same time amusing instances of mixed names in churches comes up before my mind. I have had good Catholics (Roman) come in, thinking my church was theirs.

I have also had some fine Methodists come to it because the word Episcopal was a common term, both to their church as well as ours. Here is a good story in connection with the term archbishop: In a certain city In the middle of Canada dwell two arch" bishops; one Catholic, one Episcopal. A certain fraternal society to the Episcopal bishop belonged sent an Irish'taxi driver with a rich brogue, for the Episcopal bishop to come to their lodge, of which he was a member. Of course, the Irishman went to his own Catholic archbishop by mistake, who promptly refused to come, naturally. Meantime, the other bishop had come.

The Irish answer on returning was amusing, "Begorra, I wint to His Grace, and he was.wurked up into a fury, and wduldn't come:" My good Catholic friends -who are K. of are sporty enough to appreciate the joke, I am sure. Speaking of hot weather, which implies sensibly, enough short services. I learned'in one-parish back North a wonderful truth; that a man may be speaking sometimes to two congregations at once. With a church comfortably filled, men told me in that Northern parish, in the hot summer weather, "Mr.

Brasier, do you know that you have often quite a number of people who being late, or out of curiosity, are listening outside because of the heat inside and because it was cooler outside?" Just to remind folks, the second Sunday of each month is always the Sunday for the rector to be away at his mission at Sonora. However, during August I shall not be away, but here full time. I don't want to get any time off, vacationally, until the cooler weather. The writer of this column wants to express his great pleasure that our camps and stopping places are filling up to overflowing. Kerrville is getting more attractive each year.

One of the secrets lies very much in the splendid versatile and good mixing character of its city folks. The glad hand isn't a'n empty bla. It's the sensible good thing, the well mannered chosen way, to get and to keep. When a man gets married, he says, at least in my book, "I take thee, to have and to hold." Well, it looks like we have them and are holding them, as well as having them. A cheery word in the big store means dollars.

On a certain well known train, they fussed over my welfare; no European prince could have hal more consideration. Yet, I remember the time when with trains well filled, we were fortunate to get there and poured out of the cars like cattle in the stockyards for numbers and with about the same consideration. Today everywhere all is altered. There is increased courtesy and refinement. Good work.

Keep it up, Kerrville! Personally, I want to say that all the four and one-half years of our stay here as a family, we have received much kindness, and while we have had the usual ups and downs, praises and criticisms, understandings and misunderstandings, these things are part of that family life of a community that hangs together like a family, which in spite of little fusses, love each other to death. That reminds me of a certain musical hall comedy song, where the husband said of his wife: "We never had a cross word in the house, We always fought outside." Now all this wandering does relate to the church life of our worshipping places. We are all of us God's people, in spite of differences of administration and belief, and at bottom we can say, "We are not divided All one body we." Loyalty, definite and true, individually is combined loyalty to country and state, and most of all, to God! A greenhouse set on roller bearings and kept slowly rotating to give plants the full benefit of the sun is an invention recently patented.

"Question. onymous Are these terms syn- "Answer. They are. They refer to one absolute God.

They are also intended to express the nature, essence, and wholeness of Deity. The attributes of God are justice, mercy, wisdom, goodness, and so on. "Question. Is there more than one God or Principle? "Answer. There is not.

Principle and its idea is one, and this one is God, omniscient, and omnipresent Being, anl His reflection is man and the universe. Omni is adopted from the Latin adjective signifying all. Hence God combines all-power or potency, all-science or true knowledge, all-presence." (p. 465). METHODIST CHURCH 4- 44- Cllft M.

BOY SCOUT NEWS BY EARL NANCE Lost in a Cedar Brake Don Baskin tied his paint horse to a convenient cedar tree, took his out of the scabbard, and climbed through a nearby fence. He had seen a big hawk perched in a dead tree several hundred yards across the fencelinc.

He crept cautiously toward the dead tree, using scrub cedars to hide him from the sharp eyes of his intended victim. When he had reached the proper range, Don put his gun through the forks of a tree and took aim. The hawk decided that things were not just right because he had seen Don's white shirt as Don crept upon him. Gracefully he sailed across the canyon and perched in another dead tree. "I'll get you yet," said Don, as he gritted his teeth and began crossing the canyon.

He soon reached a spot where he could get a good shot at the hawk. This time the hawk did not fly. Don't rifle rang out in the clear evening air. The shot echoed from one side of the canyon to the other. The hawk lay in a feathered heap at the foot of the dead tree.

Don stroked his rifle affectionately. "Guess that Blue Darter won't kill any more chickens or little wild turkeys," he said as he started back to his horse. But Don had been so interested in trying to kill the hawk that he had not noticed where he Was going. It was getting dark. The sky wasS dark felt disgusted with himself because he had been so He-was He, a First Scout; had let an old hawk lead-him-away from his'horse and saddle into a cedar brake.

Don thought of the different methods that the Scout Handbook taught to find directions. Since he lived in such a dry section of the country, he could find no moss on the sides of the trees. If he could find a leaning tree with moss on one side, he knew that the. mossy side would be north. Darkness came; he had found no way to help himself.

He was lost in a cedar brake! He knew that he was in a pasture which contained several thousand acres. Several thousand acres is a large tract of land on a dark night when it is cloudy. Besides, the cedar brakes are almost impenetrable on a dark night. Rattlesnakes were numerous at this time of the year, too. "I'm not scared," though Don, "a Scout is brave." A screech owl began calling a few yards away from Don.

Don jumped before he thought. He knew a screech owl would not harm him. Suddenly, Don heard something which made a cold chill run up and down his spine. A sharp, stacco bark came out of the darkness not for from him. It seemed to.

some from above, probably from the top of a nearby hill. He knew that there was a wolf on the hill. Don forgot that he was brave, for the wolf-howling had completely unnerved him. He began to run as fast as his legs would carry him! He imagined that the wolf was at his heels. In his mad flight he ran into some cedar snags which scratched him and tore his clothes; Suddenly, he felt himself falling.

His feet had stepped into empty space. He had run off of a rock' When he hit the ground below, his 1 gun, which he had dropped as he fell, came down on top of his head. Finally, he regained hjs senses. The gun had knocked him out, and he felt a large knot where it had hit him. -His head ached terribly: The fall caused Don to be more calm.

He decided to sit on a rock and figure things'out. There ought to be some way to find his horse he could find his horse, he''could get home easily. Don noticed that the clouds were disappearing. As he looked at a bright red star rather low on the horizon, he noticed that there was a cluster of smaller stars above it. He let his gaze fall lower, and he saw a string of stars below the bright red star.

These stars ran in a curved lino toward the horizon. Almost on the horizon the string of stars resembled the tail of a scorpion. "That is the Scorpion," Don yelled joyously, forgetting that he was lost in the cedar brakes. "Now I cand find out where I am." Don began reviewing the constellations he had studied in his First Class requirements. He remembered that the Scorpion was found at that time of the year on the southern horizon.

The tail of the Scorpion is in the Milky Way. Don forgot that he was alone. Pie began talking, as if someone were listening to him. "Sagittaurus is in the Milky Way, too," he concluded. "There it is." He waited for the clouds to clear the sky.

Then he found the Northern Cross in the Milky Way. Near the Northern Cross, he found a bright star called Vega, which is in the constellation of Lyra. To the east of the Milky Way he saw Job's Coffin, a diamond-shaped constellation. Between Vega and the North Star he saw the head of the Dragon. Then he saw The Chair opposite the Big Dipper in the Milky Way.

Since the Scorpion was a southern constellation at this time of the year, and since the Big Dipper, The Chair, and the Polar Star always in the North, Don knew that he had only to turn his back to the North Star, facing the Scorpion and the west would be on his right, with' the east on his left. His horse was tied to the fence on the western side of the pasture. If he went west he would be certain to find the "fence line. He, did' that. 'When he reached it, Tie followed the fence line'to the south.

Soon he heard his horse stamping his feet. What a welcome sound to his ears'! "Did get tired waiting for me, Paint?" he said to his'horse as he patted him on the neck. Old Paint rubbed his cool nose against Don's shpulders. He seemed to say, "I though you never would come back. I'm hungry.

Let's go home." The Copperhead Strikes Don was so interested in his fishing that he did not notice the copper-colored snake gliding through the grass near his can of worms. Nor did the snake see Don until he reached for the can. The snake, a copperhead, was short and thick, with a stubby tail. Dark brown splotches began behind the head and continued at regular intervals to the top of the tail. The splotches were largest half way between the head and the tail.

When Don reached for the worms, ho was not aware of the danger near him. The copperhead quickly drew itself into a coil, and its head protruded from the coil in a menacing manner. Don's hand touched the can, tipping it over. The copperhead struck out like a spring suddenly released. His fangs sang deeply into Don's UlimillimimmiimilllimmmmimNllimmilllllllllllllllimmilllllllllimilL KERR COUNTY ABSTRACT COMPANY Complete Abstracts of Title to All Lands and Town Lots in Kerr County JOHN R.

Don had seen the snake as it struck. He saw that vicious, flat head and those terrible curved fangs in the upper jaw. "Help. I'm snake-bitten. A copperhead has got me," he yelled in terror.

Don's companions, Ted and Dick, came to him quickly. They saw the two fang marks on the back of Don's hand. "Lie down, and be still. A copperhead ain't as poisonous as a moccasin or a rattler," Ted told Don. Ted quickly took a handkerchief from his pocket, put the handkerchief around Don's wrist near the snakebite, and tied a square knot in the ends.

Then he took a small stick which Dick handed him, placing it in the handkerchief. lie tightened the handkerchief tourniquet just enough to prevent blood from flowing through the veins to the heart, yet not tight enough to keep out fresh blood. He knew that arteries carrying blood away from the heart were deeper than the Veins which carried the blood to the heart. If poison in large quantities reached Don's heart, he would die. After applying the tourniquet, Ted directed Dick to take his knife and cut a small gash near each fang mark.

"Be careful how you use that knife. You might cut an artery," he cautioned Dick. "I have no sores in my mouth; so I'm going to such the poison out of his hand," volunteered Dick. "All right. You keep that up.

Don, you hold this tourniquet with your other hand. Loosen the tourniquet for about 40 seconds every 12 or 15 minutes. Let in just a little fresh blood so that your hand will not rot off when this is over. I'm going for a doctor," Ted gave these instructions as he left. In a few days Don's hand had healed.

The doctor praised the boys for their excellent first-aid treatment. "You did exactly right. Boy Scout work is a valuable" training," the doctor said, his kindly smile expressing his approval. Troop 100 Activities The courthouse lawn was strewn with potatoes Friday night. It tool: the American Legion and two Scout leaders to conduct a combination potato and wheelbarrow race between boys of Troop 100.

Boys acted as wheelbarrows and other boys were the "pushers" in this exciting race. In the form of a relay, the race was run on the lawn from one curb to the other. Outside of a few flattened noses and several bad spills, the race was a huge success. Several times the boys resembled plows instead of wheelbarrows, when their hands gave way. After the games the Scouts marched to their 'meeting room in the Masonic Hall.

James Rothrock, assistant Scoutmaster, had charge pf the meeting there. Inspirational were made, con- were held, and instruction was given. About 33 boys- attended the meeting. Twenty-four boy's went on a hike Saturday aftemoou Life-Saving instructions was held by Henry Lachele and Don Turner. Bernard Whelan gave several small boys lessons in swimming.

At a point across the river from torium a tracking contest waa started, Don Turley winning the contest. At suppertimc firebuilding tests were tatocs were baked and steak Was broiled without the lisc of any coofc- ing utensils. The boys captured barking lizard after chasing him out from under several large ders. The lizard will be mounted ami placed iri the Scout; nature collection. Troop 124 Has Fufl Night Fun night was enjoyed by members of Troop 124 at their regular meeting Tuesday night, June 20.

Dudley Johnson's story of the mermaids on the Gulf Coast was the feature of the meeting. The story was told in a liars contest, and exceeded all expectations. Rudy Radc- leff was a close second to Dudley. It was decided that there was plenty of talent in the troop, if telling; lies anything. In addition to the liars contest several interesting- stories were told by acting Scoutmaster Luther and boys of the troop.

Power base was played on the football field. Two visitors and boys attended Die meeting. The visitors were Troop Committceman, McCroskey and Scout Commissioner Hoy (J. Neely. LEGISLATIVE COST $11.36 PER MINUTE In order that the people may know something of the actual cost of a session of the Legislature, the following article is reproduced from the Tax Journal at Austin: "The Texas Legislature is composed of 150 members of the House of Representatives and 31 Senators, total 181 members.

The Forty-Third Legislature met January 10, and the 120 days at $10 per day, expired May 1983. It appropriated $500,000 for the expenses of the session. In May, its appropriated $25,000 addition.
