APPEAL, we were unable in our last issue
to make as extensive report of the
entertainment given by St. Peter CLAY er
Sodality as we would have liked to do
and, especially was this so in the case of
the remarks of His Grace, Archbishop
Ireland, who expressed sentiments
which met with responsive chord in
the breasts of all his Afro-American
auditors. Our shortcomings in the re-
port, however, were somewhat supplied
by Father Harrison in his weekly con-
tribution. We are well pleased with
the sentiment of justice and fairness, as
expressed by His Grace, and only wish
that nine out of every ten held the same
opinions, and then there would no
longer be Grace problem"
