conclusion of the service he took occa-
sion to thank the congregation for their
prayers, offered when he was supposed
to be at the point of death. and said he
attributed his miraculous recovery to
the intercession of the people of the
cathedral parish. He said: MY dear
friends-I wish to thank you for your
unbounded goodness to me during my
long and so nearly fatal Illness II is

presence here today after all hope had
been given up by my physicians. The
little school children prayed every day.

A departure from the regular order
of Sunday services has been inauguT-
ated at the Logan avenue chapel and
bids fair to be fruitful of excellent re-
suits. A class in Christian doctrine
for those who have been confirmed has
been organized by Father Cornelius
O'Farrel and the instructions are CIV
en- every Sunday afternoon in one of
the schools rooms. For some time the
need of such a class has been felt and
the greatest amount of interest is being
taken in its establishment. There are
many persons who complete their re-
liglous education so far as to receive
the Sacrament of Confirmation. but
beyond that it is sadly neglected Then
when in after years they are met by
perons from without the fold who ask
for an explanation of certain belief and
obserVances they are totally at a loss

Socialism starts upon false as

conclusion that we must destroy So

born bad, and brings with him into
the world the seed of concupiscence.
