So Unnecessary for the success of our
Union work, that their own inclinations
will move them to attend without
special Invitation. 1t is the earnest
fdesire Of the Board of Government, and
Of the Union, that every clergyman in
the Archdiocese Of St. Paul should be
present at the Minneapolis convention.
