10 this church and to q people who had
to be taught the simplest Catholic truth
was laborious but fruitful. Thirteen were
baptized and received into the Church, and
about as many more are under preparation
for baptism.
Rev. Father Gross having opened Mis-
sion in an adjoining county, visit was
also made to those people, and FIVE were
there added to the Church. The Baptist min
lister graced the occasion, and considering
that Peters nets were catching the fish, bis
manners were particularly noticeable, as
they were marked not only by a gentle
manly behaviour, bat by spiIi5 IF irq Try

lima almost identical in point of conversion
with this Mission of Newton Grove, hist
several ether posts show similar signs oil
progress.
A priest in this State, where whole fam
| lies, either at Welt from the Father or on
hearing him preach at gathering of peo-
| pie, became Catholics, may apply to bimsell
the words of st. Paul: "Woe to me, it ]
! preach not the Gospel"
1t is thus the experience of the clergy OF
North Carolina that the people, especially
those living in the country are readily con-
! verted to the Faith. But alas, though the
fields are ripe with the harvest, yet the la
borers are few.

the American people will be tas work espe-
eially dear 70 the young American clergy

lions are finding pastors To break to theu
