NEW YORK. Jan. 1.-THE article
which appeared in La Semaine Religieuse
Of Quebec Saturday telling the French
Canadians that the hour of redemption is
at hand and predicting the humiliation Of
Great Britain and the United States, has

the reputation through Rev. Father
Elias H. Younan, of New York. who is
conducting a series of services at st.
Patricks church hero. In the preliminary

time to answering written questions on
doctrinal matters. Among the inquiries
