The immaculate Conception Parish
PROPOSES 10 DO Honor to Its Pastor,
Rev Father MuIcRhy.
Pursuant to the notice of Sunday n
arre attend ed meeting was held last
evening in st Patrick's hall to ascertain
the sense of the parishioners regarding
the project to have demonstration Oh
welcome to the Rev j. A. Mulcahy on
his return from his Continental trip.
The prominent members of the parish,
many of whom have grown gray in its
service, were there this fact gave great
weight to the unanimous sentiment OF
the speakers in favor of making the
welcome typical of the enthusiasm with
which the pastors services are appreclat-
ed.
VIC. keenan, was elected chairman
and James ii. Frenzy secretary. Mr.
Keenan, reviewed the services of Father
Mulcahy as those not only of success
| full pastor, but of one whose quiet energy
and foresight was manifest in the &C
complished plans of providing st
Patrick's hall for the societies, and st
Mary's school for the children of the
Dnrish. He referred to the fact that the
proposed demonstration would let the
people of the city know the esteem and
regard his parishioners entertain Tor
him. >.
Lawyer John O'Neill. after cOmpli-
menting the large-heartedness OF the
late Father Walsh whose return from
Europe was duly celebrated, said that
Father Mulcahy was n better man for
the parish than was Father Walsh, a
praise which meant much, for Father
Walsh was the beau ideal of many. MIR
O'Neill dwelt on the fact that the people
were ready to contribute in hliing q
purse. but that the CurateS of the parish
were the ones who should represent the
parish in holding the purse open. To
which one of the cuTates demurred as
exceeding their sense of propriety, while
in other respects they were the servants
of the people.
Extended remarks were made by John
II. Moran, John Ryan, Prof j. A. Moran,
James Bvrnes. d. J. Casey. William
Milton and c. Collard Adams. A letter
from Town Clerk Madden regretting his
| inability to attend and enclosing gen.
erous contribution, was announced.
Asa result of the remarks made 1t
was ordered that IL committee of six be
appointed with the clergy to lay out a
pian of proc aduIe to be reported to an
adjourned meeting to be held Sunday
evening in the hall. The clergy were
requested to call full attention to the
matter on Sunday and to invite a general
attendance of the ladies as well as gen.
tlemen to hear the committees report.
The committee will meet at the clergy
house Sunday at = p. NJ. The following
gentlemen were appointed as the COM
mittee d. j. Casey, John Ryan. E. b.
Reilly, Thomas Luddy, William Wood
and Prof j. \. Moran.
1t is understood that all the societies
of the parish will take part with the
parish in the public demonstration.

HABITS OF PRAYER.-When pump
is frequently used, but little pains are
necessary to have water; the water
pours out at the first stroke, because it
is high. But if the pump has not been
used for long time the water gets
very low, and the wafer comes only at
ter great effort. 1t is SO in prayer: If
we are instant in prayer every little
circumstance awakens the disposition
to pray, and desires and words are al

it is difficult for us to play, for the wa
