sides, l could make a very good guess
how the priests would act, God bless

I, too, Molly, have been thinkin' the
whole matther over, an 1 came to the
conclushun that we would never have
heard of the sermons only for our
Selves
I'm at loss to know how that
could be, Peggy
well, you must admit that this
O'Hara chap is at Taste shrewd GUS

stock of us for long time"
Well an what has that got to do
with id?' ~
30, id has livery thing to do would
id. In the first place he must have
noticed how anxious we always are to 4
pull off our caubeens or make our
curcheys to the Prodestan ginthry, or
to their hangers-on for that matther.
In the mkt place he must have seen
that we never give our custom to
Cathlie if theirs any soart of a Probes

Bud, sure, Peggy that only shows
our tolerance"
THAT may be, Molly, bud to my
mind it shows our want of backbone
just as much. I'd like to know which

pass a Cathlic shop an give our GUS

to despise the Cathlic for bein' a Cath

"Arrah ketch the Belfast bigots hav-

whin he is not on he could not be put |
