Rev. Father Edward.
AT St. Anthonys church, In Sullivan street. yester-
day morning, high mass was celebrated by the Rev
Father Charles, o. s. F., and AFTER the rst gospel
had been read the Rev. Father Edward, O. s. f..
preached, taking fos his subject the good which
comes from religious orders. He said that before
the coming Of Christ paganism was spread all over
the then known world. and men were in utter dark
ness. With Chrisg came civilization, and this cvili-
zation was founded upon religion. The ancient
monks and hermlts were the first TO teach Chris
tianity, and throughout the ages preserved the
sciences when otherwise they would have been lost

orders. The founders OF :

LETTER FROM BELFAST.

To the Editor of the KenneJec Jou,nal:--
Matters and things are very quiet now in our
pleasant little city. There is but little bust
ness in our streets owing to the absence of
country trade, the farmers just now are max
ing every line draw, though planting is about
finished. There is but small amount of
building going on.
The Belfast & Mooschead Railroad, which
has lately been taken possession of by the
Maine Central Company, is doing pretty
good business. New rolling stock has been
put on, and time of departure of trains changed
entirely, commencing o-day-Monday June
9Th. The summer arrangement is as follows ::
Passenger trains leave here at 80 A. NJ, and
at Z p. NJ. The latter connects at Durham
with the night express from Bangor to Boston.
Returning the trains are due here at 10 A.
NJ, connecting with express from Boston, and
the mail train at As p. NJ. This arrange
ment is very convenient for us and entirely
different from that followed during the past
six months. The freight train which has a
passenger car attached, leaves here at 6 A.
NJ. and arrives at F. NJ. We now have all
the necessary facilities for communication
with the outside world. Boston and Portland
steamers run regularly.
