Moynihan had the. old frame church re-
moved to tho other side of the square, SO
as to front on Rampant, thus making room
for the proposed new structure, which will
however cover much more ground.
Of course Father Jeremiah will know
how to render the occasion most impressive
and interesting by the presence of a con-
siderable body of the clergy and the de-
livery of o telling discourse. We cannot
now give any details of the proposed pro-
cecdings, but shall probably do SO in our
next issue.
the Reverend pastor and the congregation
of that parish upon the approaching inau-
guration of their great work. No doubt
the monument which they are now about
to erect will stand for ages, a memento of
their piety and zeal. There is nothing that
so refines and fxes the niety of q nnnnla
ton as the grandeur and imperishable APP
pearance of the temples with which from
infancy they are accustomed to associate
the idea and the worship of God. Among
the populations of old countries, where a
huge massive monastery stands in every
valley and every fair landscape is crowned
with the magnificent outline of some grand
old church, the affections of the people,
their patriotism, the memories of home
when absent, centre around those sacred
edifices. Even now, how many of our
readers can, hear ip Imagination the chimes
of the vesper bell which they heard in
childhood, and With the sound of which
every good affection and impulse is iden-

interest connected with lis theme, we may
well anticipate a large attendance
The Temporal Power of the Pope is the
subject chosen for the occasion, and one
which every body would like to hear treated
I,x 70,
tions about which greater amount of mis-
conception exists and cruder ideas are en-
tertained, by Catholics as well as others,
than that of the Papal temporal power. In
the hands of Father Dulphy it will assume
not only the clearness necessary to make it
ineligible, but that charm of attractive
ness which genius knows SO well how to
throw around every subject.
The lecture will be succeeded by bene-
diction of the Blessed Sacrament, with a
splendid selection of music. The performs
