In addressing the French people,
Father Wrenn was even more vehe-
ment, expressing pity for the deluded
people, but the greatest abhorrnce for
the course taken by priest Berger.
Father Wrenn also said in French:
1.-THE division which you want will
come to you in time. 1 have come here
to do justice to the French people and
to all members of the parish alike"
But the letter had no outward effect
on Rev. Jean Berger. Despite the ca
nonical warning he went on composed
ly to celebrate two masses in the town
hall this morning, a low mass at s
O'Clock and a high mass at 10 O'clock
Each had a comparatively large attend
ance, there being about 200 people at
the first mass and about 800, or perhaps
$50, at the high mass. AS on last Sun
day, there were many present from
East Brookfield, prominent among them
being DIR. ]. l.. Remmillard, who was
again in the choir.
Priest Berger wore the same vest
ments which he used last Sunday, old
gold in color, While at st. Joseph's
Church the vestments used were white
Apparently priest Berger has but one
set of vestments. He neglected to read
the letter which he had received from
Bishop Beaver, and if he had read it,
there is no doubt that it would have
created stir in the already wavering
people.
Instead he announced a meeting for
the men Of the corporation at Depot
hall, at o'clock this afternoon, when
he made known the letter, but so conf
dent are the leaders in their own abil-
ity, that the sentiment was to ignore
it and not recognize the authority of
the bishop. Indeed, ]. A. Bouvier, sec
rotary of the committee of three, still
insists that the French people will con-
tinue and will build a church regardless
of commands or warnings from Bishop
Beaver.
How anxious are the French leaders
or those who would be leaders in the
movement to prevent the truth from
being known, that this morning an at
tempt was made to exclude The Spy re-
porter from the mass in the town hall.
Hardly had the reporter seated him

excited yet self-important air, request

not care to do, and Eli Bowler, with

responded The Spy man, at the same
time quietly informing the excited lit
tie individual that as it was a place Of
worship and he was making no dis
tufpance, he purposed staying till ser
vices were over, if he saw fit.
