This pamphlet was conceived in enthusiasm by men and women who are bristling with PEP to build a Beautiful Church in St. James Parish. They are impatiently waiting: they are clamoring for action. They want YOU to know what they propose doing. They hope you will be with them. Don't look for a seat in the Grand Stand-People who do things move-the disinterested sit and watch -- Our Parish Big Drum is beating a marching tune – “LET'S GO."
OUR PASTOR'S LETTER
Dear Parishioner
Three reputable architects are working on the plans for the new church in the elimination contest. Each will submit a final sketch August 30th, for publication in Let's Go, and ten days later the architect who seems to have the most desirable plan will be awarded the contract.
One depressing feature has been revealed in the past few days; two of the architects threatened to withdraw from the contest if we insist on the condition of designing a granite church that would have a seating capacity of 750, at a cost of $150,000. They say it can't be done without sacrificing all pretense of architectural decorum, they think a brick constructed church will cost that amount.
Not to delay the plans any longer I advised them to design a neat edifice that might seat 750 and the parish would decide later whether the material should be brick or stone. Bids could be called for on a double specification, and I have the utmost confidence- when the matter is fairly represented to the parishioners, they will be willing to make even greater sacrifices in order to erect a church that will be at least elegant.
I have endeavored these many years, as you all know, not to give tirades from the altar about money. I have discontinued pew rent and the pay as you enter plan at the door of the church. I have never published a list of contributors. I have been watchful not to humiliate children in the parochial school whose parents could not or would not pay tuition, and I have been rewarded by most of the parishioners by a sympathetic understanding of the needs of the parish and whole hearted support of everything I have suggested. I am grateful for this and I have the greatest admiration for that quality in human nature, or grace which inclines Catholics to make unostentatiously so many sacrifices for their faith.
The parish account books covering contributions for a period of years, is a good index of the practicable Catholicity of individuals and families. The sheets assigned to some are covered over with records of their sacrifices -- even the school children give -- whereas others are as barren as a weed patch by a garbage pile.
These latter are few and far between, but too numerous at a time like this, when real self-sacrificing men and women and not triflers are needed to build a parish church. I do not think they are all niggardly and lacking in public spirit; some of them, I presume, are spending more than they can afford in frivolities and unnecessary luxuries, and they have nothing left for the church. I appeal to them to curtail their extravagance in shows, cigars, dress and broken down super-sixes, and to contribute, at least, a little each Sunday.
We must all realize that we are given the tremendous responsibility and privilege of erecting a parish church in St. James Parish. In it God shall dwell and future generations of Catholics shall hear the word of truth and eat the Bread of Life. It shall be the Temple of the Most High and the Gate to the Eternal Kingdom. Loving hands must toil to earn the money that will raise its stately walls and impart mystery to its settings. We would bejewel its altar with gems and emblazon its sanctuary with gold and make every stone and every window a memorial to our living faith and sublime sacrifice.
Yours in Christ.
REV. P.J. O’CONNOR
THE FERN GLEN PICNIC
The special party made up of Altar boys, graduates of the parochial school class of 1925 and the Dominican Sisters, which Father O'Connor invited to Fern Glen for an outing on July 7th, took the train at Benton Station and arrived at their destination at 9 o'clock.
Mrs. George Kletzker, 1041 Fairmount Avenue, whose husband has an interest in the place, accompanied the party. She delighted the boys by giving them a room in which to put on their swimming suits and in less than ten minutes after their arrival, they were swimming like young ducks. Father O'Connor also took a dip and admired very much the facility with which the boys could swim and dive. Maurice Sullivan, Norman Fehrensen and Joe Phelan and the Corbetts are, he says, adepts.
The girls danced in the spacious dancing floor whilst the boys were in the water, and the sisters and Mrs. Kletzker climbed to a cottage in the bluff and admired the beautiful panorama.
Before eleven o'clock the tables for lunch were set on a hill overlooking the river, everyone was hungry, and the viands which the ladies of the party supplied became the most important feature of the outing.
Mrs. Hugeback and Sister Gabriel joined the party in the afternoon.
Tony and the boys were on the reception committee and ran errands. Everybody was delighted with Mrs. Kletzker's solicitude for the happiness of the visitors. It was considered by all A PERFECT DAY.

WITH THE ARCHITECTS
Father O'Connor
I believe very much in availing of expert knowledge on subjects of which I am ignorant, and as ecclesiastic architecture is one of those academic topics, which no one outside the profession should dare discuss without the risk of displaying the most deplorable ignorance, I have with due humility sat at the feet of a few eminent authorities, and come to the conclusion that there is as much confusion of thought in the schools as to what is architecturally correct as there is among the laity, and that American ecclesiastical architecture, as a whole, is a fragmentary expression of old world ideals and new world modernism.
The new world ideal is individualistic and self-assertive, and some authorities think it is as irreverent as bobbed hair and as cosmetic as a stage beauty. It is, they say, "tawdry, deceptive, and transitory." It is a combination of the theater, the picture show and the circus wagon. It is a clap trap affair hurriedly erected in a commercial age to catch the eye and the pocket book, and is a deplorable expression of popular taste and of decadence in art.
These ideas I have gathered mostly from reading a treatise on architecture by the very eminent American architect, Ralph Adam Cram. He says, "America has created no religious painter, no music, no school of art work, and above all, no logical architecture. In worldly affairs it has become the fashion to affect the splendors of elaborate architectural form, and the results are as chaotic as one could ask. Style follows style, as fashion changes, until at least, we are confronted by an absolutely futile confusion. Has the church stood aloof from this babel of tongues? Has she pursued her way uninfluenced by the fads around her? By no manner of means; every newly discovered style has found favor in her eyes; and she has become architecturally, but the echo of the artificiality of secular life."
He attributes the decay to the disruption caused by the Reformation. Had the life of the church been unbroken, she would have maintained her position as the leader and creator of art and handed on to secular life the styles and modes that have developed under the spiritual.
He would have us go back to the days when the mental, social and spiritual temper of the times was Christian, and when architects, reared in the tradition of the immutable church, developed the principles that are changeless and staple and which gave to Mother Church her early vigor and glory.
"First of all," he says, "a church is a House of God, a place of His earthly habitation wrought in the fashion of heavenly things, a visible type of Heaven itself. From the day God gave Solomon the plan and the fashion of the temple down to those wherein our own forefathers lavished their scanty wealth and toiled with devout hands to raise the awful fabrics of medieval cathedrals and abbeys, this thought has lain as the cornerstone of everyone of the great and splendid churches that brighten Christendom, with the memory of devout and reverend times. They were building a house of God and the treasure and labor lavished so abundantly were consecrated as they might never be on any other structure; all the wonders of art, the handmaid of religion, all the treasures gathered from many lands. were lavished here in gratitude and praise and thanksgiving; and nothing was too precious, indeed all things failed in a measure to show the deep devotion of faithful men, and their solemn knowledge of the majesty of that Presence that should enter and dwell therein."
"Realize," he says, "that no tricks, no imitations, no cheapness, no pretenses of any kind are tolerable in a Christian church. Instead of cheap and tawdry structures of shingles and clapboards, or flimsy brick and stone veneering doomed to very desirable decay, we should have once more, solid and enduring temples."
"The second reason for a church is to provide a place apart, where may be solemnized the sublime mysteries of the Catholic faith; a temple reared about the altar and subordinate to it, leading up to it as the center of honor, growing richer and more splendid as it approaches the sanctuary. It seems incredible that in the last few centuries this the eminent reason and law of church building should have been so grievously obscured, until men should wrong-headedly have reared their auditoriums and show structures, forgetting the supremacy of the sacramental nature of the church."
"The third aspect of church architecture is this: the creation of spiritual emotion through the ministry of all possible beauty of environment; the using of art to lift men's minds from secular things to spiritual, that their souls may be brought into harmony with God."
"The agency of art to this end is immeasurable and until the time of the Reformers, this fact was always recognized; not in the barren and ugly meeting house of the Puritans, with its white-washed walls, three-decker pulpit and box pews, were men more easily lifted out of themselves into spiritual communion with God, but where they were surrounded with the dim shadows of mysterious aisles, where lofty piers of stone softened high overhead into sweeping arches, where every wall and every foot of floor bore its silent memorial of the dead, its thank offering to God where was always the faint. odor of old incense, the still atmosphere of prayer and praise." .
"The fourth aspect of church building is the one which is generally considered exclusively, and is the last in importance, the arrangement of a building, where a congregation may conveniently listen to the instruction of its spiritual leader. I do not mean for an instant that this quality must be sacrificed to the others, I only protest against the custom of refusing to consider any plan that shows a single seat behind a column, a naive longer than it is wide, or that does not provide a picture gallery light during the day and the illumination of a theatre at night."
"If we are to see speedy restoration of Catholic Christianity, we must abandon our niggardly and parsimonious giving, forsake our flimsy temporary, chaotic architecture, and build once more churches that by reason of their massive stability, their richness and their splendor, the voiceful pictures of their walls and windows, the storied stones of their niches and porches and pinnacles shall not only be worthy of acceptance as the Temples of God, but shall show forth to men the mystery and sublimity of the Catholic faith, satisfy their stifled cravings for art and beauty, lift them into the exaltation of spiritual conviction."
THE TREASURES OF THE VATICAN
On Wednesday evening, August 4th, the picture titled, "The Treasures of the Vatican" was presented at the airdome, under the auspices of the Holy Name Society. Preceding the picture, there were four excellent acts of vaudeville Several young ladies from the Wientage School of Expression sang, recited, played the ukulele and. gave an admirable exhibition of their training.
Paul Dradden, magician and sleight of hand artist manipulated cards and glass vessels to the amazement and bewilderment of several boys whom he invited to the stage, and to the intense delight of the audience.
Joe Woody, Jack Tudor, Chas. Douglas in the one, two, three trio sang several popular songs, and Fred Moore the impersonator, won repeated applause. His impersonation of an old missionary's prayer, sermon, and song was truly artistic and clever. His hodcarriers' meeting was humorous, though somewhat uncomplimentary to the craft.
The picture was magnificent, but heavy. It probably would prove very interesting to students of art. It cost $38. Michael Oates was pleased with the attendance and thinks there will be a surplus after all expenses are met. The proceeds will go to defray the expenses contracted by the Catholic Instruction Center.
NELL USHER GETS MARRIED
Wednesday, July 21st, Helen Usher, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. Usher of 7430 Hazel avenue, was married to William LeRoi at the 6 o'clock Mass from the Immaculate Conception Church of Maplewood. The wedding party had breakfast at the Chase Hotel and then went to Springfield on their honeymoon.
Catherine O'Connell, a cousin of the bride, was maid of honor and William Griesedieck, a cousin of the groom, was best man.
The Usher family were former members of St. James Parish and are gratefully remembered as excellent workers and admirable Catholics. Though they have not lived in the parish for several years, they retain their affection for it.
Mr. and Mrs. Usher were present at the Barbecue and donated $200.
==========================
The Dolan Brothers have added to their salesmen's staff Mr. Luke O'Shaughnessy, 6160 Crescent avenue. They say the sales for the past two months have exceeded their expectations. They are the local agents for the Nash automobile.
==========================
On Sunday, July 25th, Mary Harris, 6217 West Park Avenue, suffered an acute attack of appendicitis and was removed to St. Luke's Hospital, where she was operated upon. She is now convalescing.
NEW PARISHIONER
You are welcome to St. James. You will like us if you stay long enough. We are a plain people without pretensions; we hate hypocrisy. There has not been a major crime in this community in many years; the people are hardworking, neighborly and honest. They have a high sense of self-respect and most of them live within their means.
Catholics and non-Catholics live next door to one another, and in the district north of Manchester Avenue to Forest Park, there exists a splendid spirit of charity and tolerance.
Children brought up in this community are not exposed to the temptations and dangers that surround them in other parts of the city. The boys may run across your lawn, make a depredation on your cherry trees, tie a can to your dog's tail, but they are not vicious. Organized lawless gangs have never received enough of encouragement to roost in our midst. People who are not good citizens are ostracized by young and old.
There are plenty open spaces for children to play. The school boys take an ardent interest in athletics. They have successfully competed for many years in the Municipal League contests. The nearness of the park gives them an opportunity of indulging their curiosity and wanderlust.
There are several good public schools within easy distance of every home and the parochial school conducted by the Dominican Sisters of New York compares favorably with the best schools in the city.
A new church will be built next year in the Parish. Through economy and sacrifice, the parishioners each year, for the past six years, have set aside $10,000. Our pastors rarely talk money, they have endeavored to train the congregation to contribute conscientiously in proportion to their means and to do so for the Love of God.
All pews in the church are free and open to every parishioner and their guests. The parochial school also is free to parishioners who are consistent supporters of the parish and to children whose parents may find it difficult to pay tuition.
Revenue to sustain all parish activities and to erect suitable parochial buildings is derived from the voluntary contributions of wage earners. Each wage earner is asked to give four cents out of every dollar he earns. This is considered a reasonable demand and the majority of practical Catholics gladly contribute their quota each Sunday after payday. Many parents see to it that their children also give an envelope offering; they wish to train them from their infancy to appreciate the church and contribute unselfishly to its support.
Cartons of envelopes can be had from one of the ushers, and regular, consistent giving, no matter how small the amount, is solicited. Deferring one's obligation generally leads to neglecting it entirely.
The Masses on Sundays are at 6, 7:30, 9 and 10 A. M. Baptisms at 3:30 P. M. Week day Mass at 6:30. Confessions on Saturday, from 4:30 to 6:00, and from 7:30 to 9:00 P. M.
GASOLINE EDDIE
Mr. Eddie Ryan and family, 6167 Crescent Avenue, sent to the rectory a check for $200 on the New Church Fund, to which he attached the name of "Gasoline Eddie." He purchased a new Nash car from the Dolan Brothers during the past week.
On that occasion Father O'Connor observed Mr. Ryan gazing through the Dolan Real Estate window, where his son Joe, is employed. "I see" said Father O'Connor, "you are admiring that boy of yours. He is a chip of the old block!" "No," replied Mr. Ryan, "every time I look at him I get sad and think of what might have been. I hoped he would be as big as his mother, and have the brains of his father, but he has inherited only the defects of both of us." He did not mean it. One could easily surmise he is proud of the boy's ability and good looks.
=======================
John Moore, 1356 Tamm Avenue, when returning from Aberdeen Club, Eureka, in a Ford car had one of the wheels break and he and a companion were thrown to the road through the windshield. He suffered lacerations of the skull, but escaped serious injury.
VIRGIN MOTHER'S SODALITY OUTING
On Sunday, August 1st, immediately after the 6 o'clock Mass, forty-two members of the Virgin Mother's Sodality piled into the Mahon Brothers' truck, and were given a free ride to the Wabash Club, Ferguson, where they spent the day boating, swimming and dancing.
The club grounds are exclusively for members of the Wabash Railroad and their families. Through the good graces of Mr. John Wack, 1546 Tamm Ave., the girls were admitted. They had a very delightful outing. Father O'Connor, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Dolan and family drove out to the picnic in the afternoon.
Genevieve Mahon had a bench fall on her instep and her foot became swollen. She maintained a good humored hope that she could go to work the next day. She received medical aid from a dentist and forty-one unofficial nurses who were sunburned and sympathetic.
=========================
Dennis Cooney, brother of Mrs. Peter LaGarce, 1309 Graham St. died at St. Mary's Hospital, East St. Louis, July 23. He was a very prominent member of the Young Men's Sodality in St. James Parish, in the year 1896.
CUPID AND CALORIES
Cupid and Calories, the play given by the Virgin Mother's Sodality in the airdome, July 7th, was an admirable exhibition of amateur acting. There was not a poor performer among the twelve women characters. The girls' voices were clear and strong and their enunciation was perfect.
The audience, which filled every seat in the airdome, was generous with their applause. The play had many comical situations and Margaret McDonnell, Mayme Saxton and Rosemary Wiss, the comedians brought out the humor with unusual skill and kept the audience on the alert all through the performance.
Genevieve Mahon, Virginia Jones, Estelle Sensenbrenner and Genevieve Saxton, on whom fell the development of the plot, entered into the spirit of the play with considerable skill and with fine outbursts of emotionalism, creating an atmosphere of romance which prepared one for the inevitable victory of cupid.
Cecilia Badendieck, as Hortense, played the part of the French maid with elegant conceit and appropriate accent, and Velma Trammell cleverly portrayed the beneficent mistress with an easy composure and a touch of accommodating refinement. Romane Brady, Josephine Moellenbeck, who had minor-parts, completed the cast.
The selection of characters was an outstanding excellence of the performance; each one fitted her part in voice and appearance and gave the play a natural setting. Mrs. Harrington, who trained the girls, is to be congratulated on the good judgment she exercised without an intimate knowledge of the ability of the performers.
The play was a big success and as this was the first performance given by the Sodality, it augurs well for the future. The Virgin Mother's Sodality have shown their friends that they are capable of handing out an overflowing cup of pleasure at a small price.
BRIDAL ROBES AND SHROUD
Mrs. Agnes Glass Espen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Glass, 6718 Mitchell Avenue, who was married to Jack Espen, March 1926, was taken ill July 7th, with an earache. She visited the doctor and her condition was not considered serious. Later, when the pain became worse, she feared to call him, lest she would be sent to the hospital. An abscess formed and she was rushed to the Baptist Sanitarium, where she was operated upon July 11th. She did not rally and died after receiving the sacraments. She was buried from St. James Church, July 14th.
Her bereaved husband was a pitiable sight at the wake. He rolled on the floor in hysterical grief and could not be consoled. May she rest in peace.
==================
Teresa Manion, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Manion, 6450 West Park Ave., departed for California, where she hopes to secure a position.
BE LIKE THE REST
Contributors to the church should enclose their offerings in envelopes and sign their names thereto, so that they may be given full credit in the Parish Account Books for their gifts.
You owe this to yourself, to your parish and to your pastors. If your offerings are reasonable, you need not be ashamed to have your name signed to them; you encourage your pastors to think well of you; you make it easier for them to go after those who do not give, and the records will show in later years that you did your share toward the building of a Parish Church.
Common sense will tell you it is an old stall to say, "I put my offerings in the basket." If you mean to do your best for the church you will gladly co-operate with your pastors in a systematic plan of raising funds and you won't set up your individual opinions against an established order that is accepted by the majority and which has proven practical. Docility in parish affairs is a mark of good manners and good faith. Eccentricity is hard to regulate and difficult to please. Ten eccentric parishioners are enough to make a crown of thorns for a pastor.
A good, practical Catholic is sympathetic with his pastors and is rarely heard to grumble. He realizes that there are enough difficulties in the ordinary run of parish life without the artificial ones that self-willed individuals manufacture and set up as a camouflage to cover their lack of generosity and petulancy.
Fault-finding never built anything but trouble.
ALUMNI DRAMATIC CLUB
Thursday evening, August 12th, the St. James Alumni Dramatic Club will hold its regular monthly meeting in the School Hall. A large attendance is expected as the final cast of characters will be selected for the three one-act plays, which they expect to present in October.
Every member is requested to be present as both the Refreshment Committee and the Entertainment Committee guarantee a pleasant evening. .
MEXICO
The church has been accused of entering politics in Mexico. The truth is, politicians have endeavored to destroy the church, and because it has not died in silence, it has been accused of opposing the government.
President Calles claims he is making an effort to separate church and state. The separation he would make is similar to that which a burglar makes when he robs his neighbor before killing him.
BAPTISMS IN JULY

Mr. William Hense, Sr., the popular grocer, 6400 Wise Ave., seems to be immune from heat, age and lassitude. He is well over 60, has worked hard every day during the past fifty years. His head is gray, his grandchildren are numerous, and his spirit is that of a gay Lothario. He jigged two of the warmest nights last week at the Medicine Show, Clayton and Central Avenues. No, not for pay! just to give expression to gladness of his heart.

OUTSIDE LOOKING IN
We know we've work to do
So let's keep it well in view
And go at it now with vigor, punch and vim.
We've got the ball a sailing
So let's just keep on a whaling
Till we get it to the very highest rim.
Let's build for old St. James
A church worthy of the name
Let's go in this thing to conquer and we'll win
And when all is said and done
Let's make sure we're not the one
Who is always on the outside looking in.
So let's do our duty now
The best way we know how
For to shirk it or to step aside is a sin,
Then when Gabriel comes to call
We can feel sure one and all
That we won't be on the outside looking
-T. Aloysius Mahon,
