On Tuesday evening last Father
Christie made visit to the workhouse
The inmates were marshalled in the
dining room, whore they listened to a
twenty minutes talk on the evils of in
temperance. At the close of his talk
the Rev. Father asked those who had
made up their minds upon their release

inmates take the pledge in a body stand

twenty-five taking advantage Of the OPP
portunity to make their Easter duty.
On Wednesday morning Holy Mass was
celebrated and short sermon delivered,
after which the regular routine duties
went on. It certainly is very gratifying

halt and face about in their lines of dissi-

Of rectitude and. virtue. It is to be
hoped that Father Christie may be able
to spare time to make more frequent
visits there, but until he has some help
we must be content with such time as
