“TAKE UNTO THEE SPICES”
ord said to Moses:
ne _
nd thou ^shait
cense compounded by the
of the perfumer, well tem-
pered together, and pure, and
most worthy of sanctification.
And when thou hast beaten all
into very small powder, thou
shalt set of it before the taber-
nacle of the testimony, in the
place where I will appear to thee.
Most holy shall this incense be
unto you.” (Exodus 30,34-36).
This is but one example of the
mention of incense in the Old
Testament. There are many.
In the Catholic Church today,
incense is used in Divine Wor-
ship.
The vessel which contains the
incense is called the “boat” be-
cause of its shape, resembling a
small boat of long ago. The
“censer” is a metal pot, to which
chains are attached, so made that
the top half can be raised and
lowered with one of the chains.
aceu, men in me uiaaa, ivnui
nse is placed upon ed herd
In the lower portion, lighted
charcoal is placed, then in the
ceremony, incense is plaqj
censer is ‘sw
object to be incensed, the num-
ber of swings being regulated by
the laws which,goven the partic-
ular service.
Incense has long been used in
connection with religious servic-
es, not only in the worship of the
true God, as in the Old Testa-
ment and now in the Catholic
Church, but even and also in thh
worship of false gods. For exam-
ple, the carvings of the tombs
and temples of Egypt show kings
offering homage to the gods by
burning incense in censers much
like those used in our Catholic
churches at the present day.
Since the use of incense is a
good expression of religious sen-
timent, and since God has ap-
proved of its use by commanding
it in the Old Testament, the Cath-
olic Church uses it in Her wor-
ship of God.

West Texas lamb crop is still on
the range, sheep buyers say. Clint
Ramsey, Kansas buyer, estimates
at least 60 per cent of the lambs
now remain—these, of course, be-
ing the light-end of the crop
mostly. Trading now is at an 8-
to-10-cent spread, blackfaces and
eross-breds and the heavier Ram-
bouillets bringing the better
marks. Ramsey, just returning
from Kansas, said that rains cov-
ered the Wichita-Garden City sec-
tor a week ago.

Standing on a crowded street-
car, a stout woman was vainly
trying to find a nickle for her
fare. All her pockets have been
tightly buttoned as a protection
against pickets, and no little
commotion resulted.
“Please let me pay your fare,”
said a man beside her.
“Nothing of the kind,” she re-
plied. “I’ve a nickle here some
place.”

LIEUTENANT DIETEL—
(Continued from page 1)
lee of California in command.
On April 18th of this year he
married Miss Maurine Mathis,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. L.
Mathis of Sherman, Texas, whom
he had met while he was taking
basic training at Perrin Field,
near Sherman. He and his wife
visited with their parents prior
to his departure for overseas
duty, having spent May 10, Moth-
er’s Day, at home in Fredericks-
burg, and the next day, with his
wife’s parents at Sherman. His
wife has continued to make her
home with her parents at Sher-
man.
Lt. William Dietel, Jr., was
born October 24, 1919, at Com-
fort, Texas, at which time his
father was superintendent of the
Comfort Schools. In 1921 the
family moved to Fredericksburg
where he had resided since that
time. He graduated from Freder-
icksburg High School in 1936
where he was a member of the
district championship Hillbillies.
He attended the University of
Texas for two years where he
majored in physics, and later re-
turned to his home to assist his
father in the newspaper busi-
ness. For about a year Lt. Dietel
took charge of the Harper Her-
ald. He was the “handy man”
about his father’s newspaper of-
fice in Fredericksburg, was able
to operate all printing presses
and typeseting machines, served
as reporter and photographer,
and otherwise performed duties
willingly and gladly. He was a
friend to everyone he knew and
willing at all times to help oth-
ers. He served as secretary of the
Fredericksburg Junior Chamber
of Commerce up until the time of
his enlistment in the Air Forces.
The war caused him to give up
a brilliant future in the news-
paper work in which he showed
himself qualified to attain the
highest achievements in state
and nation. In 1940 he completed
the American Red Cross course’s
National Acquatic School at
Camp Mystic, near Kerrville, as a
result of which he took charge
of swimming classes conducted
by the Gillespie County chapter
of the Red Cross in Fredericks-
burg.
Surviving Lt. Dietel are his
grief-stricken parents, his sisters,
Erna Lee of San Antonio, and
Alma, Mrs. Lt. F. J. Jung of
Baltimore; his brothers, Freder-
ick, Harold and Norman; his wife
of Sherman, a grandmother, Mrs.
Herman E. Dietel of New Braun-
fels, a large number of relatives
and a host of friends who mourn
his patriotic sacrifice and pass-
ing. He is the first casualty from
Fredericksburg to die while in
actual combat overseas during
the present-: Woria‘ T#ar Tt—■*---
While the sacrifice of Lt.
Dietel for the love and patriot-
ism of his country is no different
nor any greater than that of any
of the thousands of other true
and brave Americans, his un-
timely departure does leave a
vacancy in the hearts of his wife,
his family and a place in the
office of his father’s newspaper
business in which he had taken
such a keen and profound inter-
est. It was because of his untir-
ing efforts that the business con-
tinued to grow and prosper and
it was because of the plans for
the future that his father and
mother, and his brothers have
endeavored under difficult strain
to “carry on” in the best manner
possible. Our fellow citizens who
knew him will miss him, and we,
at home, can find solace only in
the loving memory, and the fact
that he performed heroically and
admirably.
This has been the most diffi-
cult story for the publisher of
the Herald in his life-time ever
to write. It is even more difficult,
in this case, to use a newspaper
expression and say “thirty” for a
wonderful brother, a true friend
and, in the broadest sense of the
word, a fine, upright man.
