Were sufficient space at our disposal, we could compile another list of greater length, to include the outstanding plumbing contractors, electrical contractors, heating and ventilating contractors and engineers, painting and decorating contractors, plastering contractors, roofing contractors, interior woodworking contractors.
All who have had building experience know the large share which the subcontractors contribute to the beauty and utility of our ecclesiastical struc- tures, but an enumeration of them all would carry us too far afield for the scope of our article and the space at our disposal. As the military superior pays his tribute to the "men behind the guns," so we editorially give our meed of praise and credit to the "men behind the contractor."
This roll call, which could be extended in- definitely, is a long and honorable one, and re- flects credit on the energy and ability of our Catholic professional and business men. Every- where they have made their presence felt, and won respect and renown for themselves and their Church.
Of those whom we have been able to present here, we do not say : "By one judge all" ; we do say that by these comparatively few you may judge the calibre of the Catholic layman in politics, in busi- ness, in the professions, and remember that the Church which trained them trained Americans.

The First Superiors of Our Parish Schools and Charitable Institutions
Sister Mary Albanie, first Superior of Holy Name School, Chicopee, where the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur opened the pioneer of our parish schools, in 1867.
Mother Mary Cecelia, who was Superior of the first school which the Sisters of St. Joseph opened in our diocese, St. Patrick's School, Chicopee Falls, which welcomed its first pupils in 1880.
Mother Mary of the Guardian Angel, who was Superior of our first parish school for French Canadians -Notre Dame, Worcester, of which the Sisters of St. Ann took charge in 1881.
Sister Mary Edward, Superior of the initial foundation of the Sisters of Provi- dence in our diocese - a hospital and orphanage at South Hadley Falls, in 1878.

These early workers furnished the initial impetus and lasting inspiration of a system which is now one hundred schools and a score of high schools, six orphan asylums, eight hospitals, five homes for the aged, three homes for working girls, two day nurseries and our House of the Good Shepherd.
Epilogue
BRIEF résumé of our diocesan story, even though necessarily sketchy and incomplete, cannot but beget deep admiration for the sturdy Catholic faith of our fathers. Their pioneer efforts send us many a message of courage, perseverance, self-sacrifice, and childlike trust in the God who ever brings the dawn to dispel the darkness.
It was John Boyle O'Reilly who wrote the poetic admonition :
What man would be wise, let him drink of the river
That bears on its bosom the record of time ; A message to him every wave can deliver.
There was nothing auspicious about the humble beginnings. when the first Catholics came to build our railroads and canals. to work in field and mill. Perhaps the heroic priests who followed them over hill and valley, priests who could scarcely be said to have a home, so constantly were they in motion. to carry the consolations of Mass and the sacraments to Catholicity's scattered pathfinders, had little idea of how, thanks to their unremitting toil, the ranks of the faithful were to increase and multiply into the prosperous and pious congrega- tions which have dotted western Massachusetts with churches and schools.
The first humble churches, many of them erected by the men of the congregation who labored after hours, many of them erected by the self- sacrifice which even mortgaged homes to give God a fitting domicile, have, in most cases. been re- placed by more imposing structures, but all told the story of a love which faltered at no expenditure of time or treasure, when the good of our Catholic faith demanded it. So well did those early builders labor that many of the edifices they erected are still standing as monuments to their foresight and generosity.
In those days, when anti-Catholic animosity was often in the ascendant, when Native Americanism and Knownothingism visited their hatred on what they did not understand and did not wish to com-
prehend, there were instances of churches being burned, and others threatened with destruction. In many an instance, the welcome to Catholics was the warning that they were not wanted. Misun- derstandings of Catholicism often preceded the Catholic pioneer, and painted him in colors of blackest hue, so that more than once he had worn out his welcome before he arrived.
Yet, to the everlasting credit of our non- Catholic neighbors be it said, there were always liberal Protestants who sympathized with the trials of the Catholic newcomers; there was al- ways a generous Protestant to hire a hall for them, sell land to them, to erect their houses of worship, and even give generous financial aid when church and rectory were being built. More than one Prot- estant bought land which a Catholic could not buy, and then sold it in turn to the Catholics, for whom he had made the purchase. Nearly every early Catholic community, tried though they all were in the crucible of unjust suspicion and unfair treat- ment, handed down in gratitude the names of Protestant families who befriended them.
There is, too, a lesson of fervor and love for the "faith once given to the saints" in the reminder that Catholics once trudged from northern Berk- shire to Albany, from Lee and Great Barrington to Pittsfield, from Northampton and Holyoke to Chicopee, from Fitchburg and Rutland to Worces- ter, to assist at the holy sacrifice of the Mass, and render homage to their Eucharistic God. Catholic Church attendance today is a source of edification to non-Catholics, but what merit it must have gained, in the early days, for those who covered whole counties, on foot or horseback, to assist at Calvary's sacrifice? God has blessed the Church in western Massachusetts for the loyal service given by our sturdy forefathers in the ranks of the Cross.
And what a panorama of priestly zeal that early chapter of our church history unfolds! A lonely figure in black covering Worcester County from Otter River to Blackstone ; another from Chicopee north and south and east and west ; a third seeking isolated souls among the remotest hills of Berk- shire ; another from Webster, ministering to Catho- lics as far away as Barre-these are the heroes of

CENTURY OF CATHOLICISM < IN WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS
THE Catholic Mirror
the days of romance which saw the cross appear on every hill top, and smile over every valley.
The pioneers of Catholic education taught in church choir loft, or basement or rude hut, until the coming of the religious teachers. With their arrival dawned the new era that has given us our hundreds of teachers, nearly fifty thousand stu- dents, and school buildings which, in every depart- ment of health and pedagogy, compare with the best in the commonwealth.
Of course, the sacrifices of the fathers are no longer exacted of the children, but the heritage handed down imposes a weighty responsibility-it must be preserved, and is being preserved. Priests are no longer braving all kinds of weather in long missionary journeys through almost trackless dis- tricts. The multiplication of parishes has brought nearly all of our half million souls within easy reach of church and school. But the present needs call for sacrifice of another kind: the endless in- struction against the inroads of a materialistic age, the establishment of a flourishing sodality life to give to the Lord a service that makes up in generosity what it lacks in hardship, the long hours in the confessional exacted by our glorious growth in frequent Communions, the endless pro- vision for new, modern and expensive buildings, that God's services and work may be carried on in inviting surroundings, the vigilant apostleship that seeks out and ministers to souls in institutions of every description, the campaign based upon the divine hope that, of all those entrusted to us, not one shall be lost, these are the salient features of our modern apostolate, which is nobly carrying on a work nobly begun.
The days of long missions and hostile demon- strations and rude houses of worship are prac- tically over. The days of long hours in confessional and classroom, of compact organization that the net of Peter may reach every soul, of endless in- struction that faith may be based on knowledge and deep devotion, that all may practice the com- mand to "pray always," have supplanted them, and our fondest hope is that priest and people may measure up to their new responsibilities as nobly as the faithful pathfinders who blazed Catholicity's
early way across the central and western counties of Massachusetts, a century or more ago.
Like all real heroes, our forbears in the faith did not regard themselves as heroic, and made little conscious effort to preserve the details of their pioneer story for a future day. They merely did their daily duty, offered God their daily homage, gloried in giving His Eucharistic Pres- ence the best possible homes, and left the issue in the hands of their Benefactor. Yet, that age of simple self-sacrifice and childlike love left us some noble monuments of Gothic architecture, and nobler monuments of Godlike faith. The priests who followed the early Catholic laborers along railroads and canals were accorded a warm welcome, and every appeal for a material sup- port of religion met a ready response. They could not give much, these humble hewers of wood and drawers of water in the first stage of America's industrial growth, but, from their small wage of sixty cents a day, they gave what they could and began the golden chain of Eucharistic temples which runs, like the finger of God, through our western counties. Yes, those lowly laborers of a far-off time received a weekly wage that would now scarce be considered a daily pittance. On their sixty cents to a dollar a day, they purchased homes, raised large families, gave their children the education which was denied to themselves, and laid, firm and strong, the foundation of Catho- licity's glorious future. There may be an economic explanation of their success-it may have been entirely, as it must have been, in part, the fruit of "plain living and high thinking," but the man of faith finds the secret of this wonderful century in the generosity of a people to a God Who is never outdone in generosity.
Did space permit, we should gladly pay more extended tribute to the priestly souls who, in days gone by, and today, advanced, and advance, the Master's cause on every front. But the necessary limitations of a chronicle preclude the possibility of individual tribute. A flourishing church of half a million souls is their deathless monument, and the "Well done" of the Divine Master their endur- ing reward.

Seal of the Diocese of Springfield
HE traditions of heraldry are very ancient and are clearly traceable as far back as the standards of the early Egyptians. Its develop- ment was stimulated by the mili- tary necessity of later ages, which required some means of proclaiming identity when armour rendered recog- nition difficult. It is inseparably associated with the age of chivalry. By the end of the twelfth century it had become a completed science, generally used throughout Europe.
Heraldry is the science of recording genealogies and standards. The coat-of-arms is the expression of the science of heraldry. Ecclesiastical heraldry is not different from general heraldry ; their origin was the same and their development was con- temporary. The chief present day applications of ecclesiastical heraldry are found in the insignia of religious corporations (a diocese, or see, or re- ligious order or institution) and the personal in- signia of ecclesiastical dignity, rank or office.
Genuine heraldry, particularly personal heraldry, is not as commonly used in republican countries as in monarchical countries, where the customs of royalty prevail. But we daily meet with adaptations of it in the symbols of our fraternal societies, in the
emblems of peace and war, of industry, commerce, agriculture, labor, arts and science which adorn our public buildings, our monuments, etc. ; we find it, too, in our municipal, state and national seals, in the insignia of our colleges, and in many other applications. Comparatively few people, however, are familiar with the hidden symbolism of heraldry and for this reason an explanation of our diocesan seal should prove interesting.
The heraldry of the Diocese of Springfield is woven from two thoughts : "Springfield" and "St. Michael." St. Michael is symbolized by the large red cross on a silver ground, known in mediaeval art as the Cross of St. Michael. It was chosen for our diocese because St. Michael is the patron saint of our Cathedral Church.
The symbol which heraldry uses for a fountain, or a spring, is a circle, filled with wavy bars, alter- nating in blue and silver, and representative of water. On the insignia of the Springfield Diocese four of these herald "springs" are used. They represent "Springfield" and also symbolize the four Gospels, the springs of living truth. By their position on the shield, one in each corner of the cross, they symbolize the four mystical rivers of Paradise which mediaeval art represents as flow- ing from the cross.
SECTION VII
VIAM VERITATIS ELEGI
Seal of
RIGHT REVEREND Thomas M. O' Leary, D.D.
N KEEPING with century-old tradi- tions, every bishop in the Catholic Church has an official coat-of-arms. Likewise, every diocese throughout the world has its own separate insignia. The symbols of a diocese seldom change, but every change of bishops requires a new coat-of-arms, since, under the laws of ecclesiastical heraldry, the episcopal coat-of-arms is formed by combining the insignia of the diocese and the per- sonal heraldry of the bishop. The crest thus formed is used on all official diocesan documents.
Bishop O'Leary's coat-of-arms is the usual com- bination of a bishop's heraldry with that of his diocese. The left section of our diocesan crest rep- resents the Diocese of Springfield; the right, the personal heraldry of the bishop. The joining of the two on one shield signifies the close union existent between the See and its Chief Shepherd.
On the right, or personal section, of our diocesan crest there appears a ship, a part of the traditional emblem of the O'Leary family, but the colors have been changed from their original black on silver to
silver on blue, the heraldic colors of Mary Im- maculate, the Mother of God, to whom the Bishop has a very special devotion. On the background, guiding the ship, appears a star, symbolic of Our Lady's title, "Star of the Sea." On the upper part of the shield appear three spearheads, symbols of St. Thomas, the instruments of his martyrdom, and in number symbolic of the Blessed Trinity. Hence, this section of the coat of arms reads : Thomas Mary O'Leary.
Above the shield, in gold, are the episcopal mitre, the pastoral staff and the processional cross. Sur- mounting all is the episcopal green hat, and on the scroll at the bottom appears the Bishop's motto: Viam Veritatis Elegi, "I Have Chosen the Way of Truth." On each side of the crest, arranged in rows of one, two and three, respectively, are six tassels, the traditional manner of indicating the rank of a bishop, an archbishop having ten and a cardinal fifteen.
Such is the coat-of-arms of Rt. Rev. Thomas M. O'Leary, Bishop of Springfield-beautiful, in- teresting, full of meaning, the crest which adorns the official documents of our diocese.
