CHURCH ITEMS.
The Mission in st. Theresa's.-With last Sun
day evening ended the mission given by the
Lazarist Fathers in the aforementioned |
church. 1t is most gratifying to know that
the zeal, energy and good works of those self |
abnegating disciples of the lowly Nazarene
met with operation on the part OF the "a
rishioners. Morning and evening, and oener
times devoted to rest, foup the good people OF
st. Theresa's in their church to hear the words
Of Christ, to be edited by the exemplary nn-
mility and ardent charity OF those men VINO
came to preach. Now is tho acceptable tlme'
now is the time Of salvation. Many heart
bowed down with the weight OF sin, expert

God, received the desirable grace Of perse-

Pastor of St. Theresa's Church.
Grand Concert for the Orphans.-A grand con-
cert will be given at Odd-Fellows' Hall on
Easter Monday, April LIST, at u o'clock p NJ.
Asrespects the musical repertoire, we need but
say that Miss Theresa Cannon has charge of
it, and none afraid of such security. Sew
eral ladies and gentlemen of recognized must
cal talent will assist her to vary the exercises.
The object is one which appeals to the heart of
the charitable. An orphanage in which young
girls are reared in virtue and knowledge, is in
destitute circumstances and asks of the public
some aid. Surely there is no individual in this
community who will not respond to the call of
the Sisters of St. Joseph. The concert will be
an initiative attraction to the Fair, which
commences the same night. The entrance
to both Concert and Fair) is fixed at one dol
lar. Every one should patronize the under

Lecture by Rer. Father Giessen-House Of Mercy
The announcement that the Redemptorist
Father, Rev. Hen,y Gessen, will lecture in
St. Alphonsus Hall, will make of the
crowding of that capacious room, if the most
excellent object of the lecture-the relief of
the House of Mercy-did not itself assure an
OVERLOOKING audience. Father Giessen will
discourse on " The Marvellous Ways of Provi
dence," and we healthy advise all our friends
to attend at the appointed time, Thursday,
March 14th, 1872. We shall have something
more to say next week in reference to the
House of Mercy, whit is emerging, like all our
great charity succeses, from heavy weight
of debt, $500, at tn, present writing.
Rattle for ST. Josephs Far.-A lot of ground,
measuring 25 feet frot and 125 in depth, will
be ratified at the comng Fair for st. Joscph's
Church. The WINNIE of the lot will receive
his title free of all expenses. Now is the time
