the church. This was fitted up for a
hall in which to hold sociables and
church entertainments. In 1898 Rev.
Joseph Turcot became pastor of the
church and from that time until the
present has been untiring in his efforts
to promote the cause in which he is
enlisted. AS the congregation had
very largely outgrown the old church,
and all the debts on the church prop
erty were liquidated Father Turcot,
together with many OF his prominent
members decided that the time had
arrived when new church should be
erected, which would meet the pres
ent demands of the society.

Rev. Bishop Michaud of Burlington
selected the site, between the parson-
age and the hall, on which to erect
the new st. Panl's Catholic church.

tory to laying the foundation was be-
gun by the Valley Brothers, who are
prominent members of the denomina-
ton. Work was pushed rapidly, and
on Sunday, May 18th the exercises in
connection with laying the corner
stone were attended by large con-
course of people. The services were
very impressive. The priests in at
tendance were Rev. FIR. O'Sullivan of
st. Adams, who delivered the address,
Rev. FIR. Clermont of Newport, Rev.
FIR. Pontbriand of Lyndonville and
Rev. FIR. Turcotte of this village. The
address was an excellent one: it was
filed with inspiring thoughts and was
listened to with close attention by the
large audience. He spoke of the
work which the church is doing
throughout the world, of the grand
work of the missionaries and what
they are doing for the uplifting of
