 As in duty bound, the givers placed their desires before their bishop, and the bishop gladly assenting, sent kind words of greet ing. The offer of the organ was made di- rectly to the Rev. Father O'Reilly, priest of St. Pauls, and the good father was greatly rejoiced. His heart had long been set upon great organ worthy of his mag nificent church; and thus the organ is given.
 Before finally purchasing and signing the contract for the organ MT. O'Brien and Mrs. OBrien insisted that the makers should have 1t completed and ready for high mass on Christmas morning. But that was impossible; no need of discussing it; orders ahead for thirty-ive large organs. Then it was agreed and contracted that the organ should be completed and in po- sition in St. Paul's before next Holy Week. as during Holy Week no artificial sound Is permitted in the church. And so the great organ will peal forth in the jubilation of the faithful ne 1t Easter Day!
