Will be rendered. As every one knows, The
building Of the new church has involved the
Kew. Pastor to such an extent, that he has
been compelled to 60 North to seek assistance.
This is severe trial for one Of his age, but
his indemitable energy would allow him NO
rest, and he left MS in high hopes of success.
During his absence, his two young assistants,
Father Kennedy, who represents him, and
Father Jeremiah, Jr, are exerting themselves
to their utmost to replace him, and that they
are succeeding we think the parishioners of
st. Johns will agree with Ms in asserting. Let
everyone lend these jealous young priests .
helping hand, that they may gladden. the Rev.
Fathers heart with a rich harvest when he
returns.
