streets.
The work in West st. Paul. in the
Parish Of the Ascension, was also started
by MIR. Pope, and a mission at the cor
ner OF Martin street and harrington
avenue was conducted for a time under
Rev. Mr.. Zalinger. of st. Boniface
chapel, spoke at ONE length on CITY
missionary work, and referred to the
large part that had been taken by MIR.
Pope in furthering this important
branch.

was conducted by Bishop Whipple, who
was assisted by Mr.. Pope. 1t is SO sell
