REV. FATHER BROWN.
Today The News prints the picture OF
Rev. Father George Brown of Olneyville.
who Is one of tho leaders and bids fair 10
get nearer the top sooner than he de-
scends the scale.
Father Brown Is the energetic pastor or
St. Anthnny's church.
st. Anthonys parish is In Olneyville.
and the society was organized about
three months ago. The first church SER
vice was held In the armory of the Tenn
perance Cadetsc on Stokes street. where
services have been held ever since.
In the near future. however, St An
thongs will have a fine, new church. at
the foot OF Neutaconkanut hill, where six
acres of valuable land have been pur-
chased.
Bids for the new edifce, which IL to cost
about 1000. were opened two weeks ago
yesterday. II will have a seating capacity
| Of about 700, and is expected to be ready
| for occupancy by the middle OF next No
| vember
At the rate ST. Anthony's parish is
| growing II is believed that a larger church
| will be REQUIRED i'm a few years. when that
| now building will be used for a chapel.
IL is also planned to build convent
| and parochial school before long, together
. with gymnasium
One OF the greatest adjuncts 10 the So
| ciety is the Temperance Cadets whose
| helpful influence serves TO draw the
| young men into the church and keep
| them there.
The Society of st. Anthony is officered
! as follows: President. John +. Harlow
| secretary, Hugh II. Rowley; treasurer,
| Rev. Father Brown.
Some OF the most prominent business
/ men I'm the city are members of the So
| ciety and church.
| The society was organized by a few
| earnest Christians who detached them
selves from St. AIMS and 81. Mary's
| churches for that purpose.
| Rev Father Brown is very fine man.
| He is very jealous I'm every good work
| and his sincerity cannot be questioned.
| he is kindly and courteous and makes
very warm friendships on account of his
| personality.
