lFr0n the Mobile Regtsterj
On Monday, at 3 P. NJ, the children of
st. vincent's parish quite surprised their
very worthy Pastor, Father o 'Callaghan, by
the gift Of neat and handsome buggy.
The Very Rev. Father has been absent for
the past four months and worked faithfully
and we'll in the Far West, collecting for
his new church. No one knows, save those
who have tried, the humiliation and suffer
ing OF poor priest when he leaves those
who know him and goes among "the
strangers to ask for aid in behalf of his
people. The children of Saint Vim
cents Parish, however, seemed to ap
preciate the hard task undertaken by
their good paster, and on Monday prov
ed their gratitude by a magnificent gift.
The Rev. Father Keller who had charge of
st. Yincent's Parish during the absence of
the Pastor, made the presentation in behalf
of the children of the Parish, in q neat and
appropriate address. OF course Father
O'Callaghan was expected to reply and fail
ed for the first time that the writer knows, in
coming fully up to bis standard. He evi
IDENTITY was much embarrassed. His elo-
quence consisted in his vain attempt to
give expression to his feelings. ALI who
were present knew full we'll that no words
of his could fully express all he felt.
Fathers Brown and O'Meara, who were in
the Very Rev. Father and spoke few
words in commentator of the act. Father
Brown said in his own whole souled manner,
that 1t was only what he expected from the
children of st. Vincent's parish. It was his
happy lot to have had charge of the children
on many occasions in the past, when their
Pastor was absent on official business. He
always found them as uow-grateful-
not forgetting past services, and dearly
attached to him who always sought their
interest and not his own. The good
Sisters, daughters of St. Vincent, re-
ceived the highest need of praise. Under
their guidance he had ever found those
good Children of Mary at their poet. Sun
day after Sunday he was present at their
Sodality meetings, and always found
not meetings largely attended. Theirs
was to honor God and his blessed
Mother, under whose banner they stood
the reward-eternal life. His address to
the children was deedly felt. Father
O'Meara had to come forth in his own
felicitous way be spoke of how much he
was impressed by the presentation. He
said that the service of none was so soon
forgotten as those of the priest 4; he may
labor and toll day after day, and night
after night, but go soon as he has passed
from the sphere of his usefulness, SO soon
was he forgotten. He was happy to be able
to make an exception to that general rule
ST. Vincent's parish-for though they were
not certain of the return of their Pastor,
and not knowing the day he may be moved
from them, yet, with grateful hearts, pre-
pared for him a grand reception. The Rev.
gentleman, having given blessing to all
the happy children, withdrew.
