Had it not been for Father Jamee j ^

Father Horton was right up with ii
the vanguard of the on-ruahing Ameri- b;
cans and, after the Germans had been h
cleaned out of their cellars and machine
gun ambushes, the old Cure, &
who had emerged from some unknown a;
hiding place, Insisted on holding serv- a,
Ice in 9t Crepin's chapel to celebrate ti
the liberation of the city. h
There were no vestments, no can- ti
dlee, no sacred vessels. But Father o
Horton rode a motorcycle back to the It
headquarters of the Knights of Co- 11
Iambus, secured the supplies needed a
by the Cure and rushed them back
by automobile. _
The services were held and ne more ! I
torrent T? Damns erer were uttered '
than those that went up from that littie
shell-wrecked chapel In devastated,
