the fact that the men were more Jealous

mission, during the renewal of the Baptis-
NAL vows, every man in the church had n
lighted candle in his hand. There were at
least 5000. 1t was indeed a grand sight.

Verein," under the direction of Mr.. i.
Breuer, B. Amend, Pres, came up on this
occasion, as also on II former one, and
greatly edited the congregation with their
sweet and harmonious singing. They are
really Catholic singers and their music is
Catholic. Would that we had such volun-
teer choirs in all our Churches! The good
that this mission has done to the people of
lasting. The poor people bless their pas
tor, DR.. Burdsel, for having brought the
good missionaries among them, and they
certainly bless the Fathers for their great

Monitor: "The mission of Rev. Father
Weninger, S. j., given lately ut Mount St.
Joseph's, South San Francisco, was for the
congregation there assembled q most dis

of this place also co-operated with the call
of Divine grace in a most consoling man
ner. Such zeal was not expected. The
people seemed, during the whole week, to
forget every other occupation; aocking to
the church from dawn in the morning till
the darkness of night. AT all the general
communions the congregation seemed more
than doubled. Several Protestants, also,
were received into the Church. Besides
the grace of God, tho reason of such an
extraordinary manifestation of fervor lies,
NO doubt, in the attractive power of the
inspired eloquenee of the missionary, who,
