CATHOLIC NOTES.
The mission. which began last Sunday
at the Cathedral, will close TO-
might, having in a great measure accom-
Esished the results for which it was
started. That the mission has been a
great success spiritually. is sufficiently
attestcd by the enormous pressure on the
capaci,g of the Ca tt,earai, whica the last
week has Witnessed. The attendance hut
increased al ever. service and the climax
was reached Friday night when numbers
had To turn away, unable TO gain en-
aratce.
The mission has been conducted BY
Fathers Doaer;y and AieCarry. of the
Pauiist Fathers Of New York city, and TO
them is due the praise for the success
with which the undertaking has been ats
tended. The rare .eloaueuee of the preach
ers has been revelation IN Catholic, cir
cies. Though both very Young, iaeg
have worlds Of experience to rely on ana ]
have presented dtscousses that have botf,
charmed and Instructed their hearers. s
The sermon on Temperance. last Thurs
day night was decidedly the best ever
