of studies pursued in the schools Of
these sisters. Also the French order of

the general plan. 1t exhibits some
thing original in the line of giving a
history of every one of the seven paro-

specimens of their work. In the booth
of the diocese of Cleveland hangs the
celebrated picture of the Landing of

Let US, in conclusion, say word OF
the grand work of the Order of the
Christian Brothers. Their exhibit is
really wonderful, and has been en-
riched by their schools in France, Eng.
land and Spain. Especially excellent
are the exhibits from their technical
schools.

a Catholic to testify in the warmest
manner to its worth and merit, and he
must be an incurable, narrow-minded
bigot who would not acknowledge joy.
