of his ultimate purpose. The pleasantest
relations have always existed between
them, and as will be seen by the telegram
below, Father Terry insists that no rcfec-

nection with his retirement. His recent lee

claimed that they were the rlghttul judges

discussion pending, based upon Sarbsed
report in a morning newspaper, Father
Terry temporarily delayed bis eastern trip

between himself and the bishop. The

no beresy in tue lecture. Father Ter

The result of correspondence between

ton with the diocese is severed IN manner
mutually satisfactory. The bishop left for

Father Terry has always been held in the
highest esteem both as Il man and priest.
His pastoral duties have been performed with
Hhole-bearted zeal, and the poor and sick of
his parish know him as faithful and gene
Ious friend. He was scarcely as social in bis
nature or habits "a are many Of his colleagues,
and although resident here almost since his
ordination, he is known best to those with
whom his function Is a priest brought him
into conduct. He will carry away with him
