So that poor feline was out ofthe bag
long before "Lafourche" found it out
Well, we beg to say that we knew
about it all along but did not ex-
pect such an open acknowledgement
of the fact. There are two sayings
that will apply to our case; the frs,
and the oldest, is: ado unto others
as you would wish them to do unto
you,n the second much mere modern
and which smacks Il great deal of
egotiSm is: "Charitv begins at home"
In this m tier the latter had the pref
erence, and we had to submit. All
the explanations having been had,
and all the harm, that could be done,
having been done, We think best now
to drop the subject and let events
take their own course.
One word Only we must add, aud
this is to tlank our unknown ~antagou-
ist for the very moderate and polite
manner in which he has carried the
discussion all through. Our former

There was quite IA large gathering
of w%orshippcrs at ST. S%auveur's church
last Sunday, and taking advantage of
their presence, our pastor, Rev. Father
Letilly blessed the new statue of
''Our saviour and also the beauti-
full new pulpit erected in the church.
The Rev. Father took advantage of
the occasion to preach an eloquent
sermon on the history Of pulpits and
the influence, words issued from thep,
have had in this world and the next.
and ended by hoping thai this new
pulpit would be the means for MANY
years to come of bringing erring sheep
into the fold, and of helping those
who are struggling in the right way.
