mildly subdued by the presence of
Father Bosch, the soeiety's spirit

pastor of the Cathedral parish.

OF the old Father Mathew society
During the dozen years of fits ex-
estence the Crusaders have done a
mighty and beneflcent work in ele
waiting and maintaining a high STAN
dard of morals among the young
men OF this city. The many hum
dEeds who have belonged to The So
clety justly consider THAT, whiHe it

| benefit along the whole line of their
moral duties. No little credit for
tnls unusual record of effectiveness
Is due to the sag'acfous guidance of
the Cathedral clergy, and especially
OF the Crusaders spiritual director.
