RI. Rev. Bishop Kain, OF the Catholic

home in Wheeling to-day. During his
stay many Of the members OF ST.
Xaviers Catholic Church, and a num-
ber OF citizens OF other denominations,
called upon him aud paid their respects,
for the Bishop Is tbonght OF very highly
in this city. Last night the Bishop ad-
ministered the sacrament OF contrma-
tion to class Of rs, aud preached an
excellent and appropriate sermon. This
morning reception was held at the
convent in bonor OF the bishop in which
all the pupils and graduates took part.
Miss Margaret Mcbride In behalf OF
the Academy OF Visitation graduates
delivered a beautiful address, TO which
the Bishop replied very feelingly TO the
kind sentiment expressed. The follow
ing are the closing sentences OF Miss
McBrde's address:
my Lord, you go forth from us
wearing the white flower OF blameless
life followed by the love and yeneratIon
OF all your people. We say to You with
loyal hearts that this love shal! never
lessen. We will think OF you and pray
for you always. May we hope
that you will not FORGET u.s.,
but that amidst all the magnifi-
cence which will surround your new
charge your heart will sometimes turn
lovingly to your old home 10 West Vir-
ginia, some time perhaps while at some
Cathedral altar you offer the sacrifice
divine you will think of our convent,
and the convent's children. Thus,
while the ties which in the past have
! bound our lives together may appear
broken, 1t is not so, for though you
leave us, unseen faith goeth too, and
and thus praying one for other,we shall
feel that 1t is yet father and children,
and ours an unbroken friendship bound
by gold chains. about the feet OF God. T"
A public reception will be rendered
Bishop Kain when he again visits the
city, which will be before his departure
for st. Louis to assume his duties.
