1t has rarely been the lot OF the parishoners OF St.
Mary's church to witness such display OF pulpit
eloquence and to enjoy the fruits OF such mission
as that which was given them for the past two
weeks by the Rev. II. Glackmeyer. 8. J. Day after
DAY the building was filed with people Of every
class-mechanics, laborers and merchants,
Protestant as well as Catholic, to hear sermon or
to assist at religious exercises. Yesterday the
mission was brought to close by two powerful dis.
courses by Father Glackmeyer who preached twice
or three times each day during the mission. That
his labors have been crowned with
UNEXPECTED SUCCESS
Is undoubtedly due to his powers as preacher.
He Is among the first orators Of the Society OF Jesus
and, although his language Is at once elegant and
terse he influences his hearers far more by the
intense animation OF his delivery. He Is Canadian
by birth. He means everything he says, and
can excite at pleasure q smile or a tear,
sometimes both together. Yesterday at high mass,
which was celebrated by Father McQuaid 8. j., the
very passageways Of the church were thronged.
After the gospel Father Glackmeyer ascended the
pulpit and briefly addressed rwelve catecnumens-
persons not yet baptized They were respectable
looking men. who were

animated, which made my hand tremble
when l poured upon the heads OF those con-
verted women the water OF bapt Ism which linked
their souls to God II you who have failed to profit
by this mission had only knelt beside me and simply
witnessed the JOY OF those who have benefited by
our labors Their joy was inexpressible like that
