Sunday was grand day for st. Johns
church, OF Bellaire. One hundred and
twenty-five, including number OF con-
verts, were confirmed. Right Rev.
Bishop Watterson, Bishop OF Columbus,
assisted by Father Raphael, OF the Pas
sionists Monastery, of Pittsbur2, oilicia'
ted. The Bishop is the youngest in the
world. His address was particularly
for the instruction OF the children. His
broad and unpreiudiced remarks from
such high authority, convinced Us that
the Roman Catholic church is as free
from bgotry as any other religious
body. The "dim religious light" the
sweet faces OF the children, the rohed
messengers OF God, and the grand
music, made striking scene.
We stood on holy ground. Mel.
lard's Mass and Mozart's Magnificent
were the musical selections. The Cecilia
band added its sweet strains to the har.
mony. Father Gull deserves great credit
for his untiring work. The children
were like trained soldiers. The Bishop
was greatly pleased with Father Cults
efforts. On Sunday the Bishop and
Father Gull lett Tor Martins Ferry to
conduct a confirmation, and yesterday
they went to Woodslield to hold the
same services. The church in this sec
ton is in most prospectus condition.
