AS result of overwork, brought
ABOUT by the conduct Of one of the
! most successful church fairs ever held
IN the city, Father Edward Barry, pas
tor of the Church of the Sacred Heart,
lies at st. JOseph's hospital, quite
broken down in health and threatened
with pneumonia Father Barry per-
sonally supervised the recent fair held
in aid of his church, running for nine
consecutive nights in Adelphian hail.
and the strain has told severely on
his health. On Sunday he was found
to be suffering from the effects of a
dangerous cold contracted during thu
sephs hospital. While not seriously
i'll, Father Barry will remain at the
hospital until he has fully recuperatea
and is able to take up his work at the
church.
The Sacred Heart church fair was Il
phenomenal success and the sum re-
allied was in the neighborhood Of
$4,000. This is considered remarkable
and is due TO the hard work given the
matter by the pastor. For weeks pre-
ceding the fair Father Barry worked
steadily in making and perfecting the
arrangements. and although ably as
sisted by corps of energetic men and
women, his share of the task was
heavy and now he is suffering unpleas-
ant consequences.
Father Barry's physician attributes
MS breakdown solely to overwork, anG
until he has quite recuperated he will
remain at the hospital. He is not con-
fined to his bed
