sePh's parish have signed a petition to
Archbishop ireland asking that Rev.
John t. Harrison, former pastor of ST.

Was drawn, some weeks ago, the arch
bishop is formally besought to "con-
tinue Father Harrison in his present
position
Accompanying the petition was a let
ter reading, in part:

OF the esteem in which Father Harrison
is held by every family in the parish
which the accompanying petition indi-
Gates, you will not hesitate to grant a
request SO Important to us. Gratitude
VIII Intensity our loyalty toward you in
all ways that the building of grand
cathedral is bound to suggest. and cor
respondingly endear you to us for all
time.

The petition, already submitted to
the archbishop, follows:
The undersigned, Catholic women of
st. -Josephs parish, having learned with
grief that your grace has transferred the
Rev. John T. Harrison from st. Joseph's
parish to another field desire to re-
spectfully and earnestly request a recon
sheraton of your decision. BY his many
years of faithful and laborious service
as pastor of St. Joseph's, Father Har-
rison has endeared himself to all who have
reVeT1ng him for his priestly character
and his unfafling zeal and unselfish sac
rlf1ee for the spiritual welfare Of them
and their children unite in expressing
their high opinion of his qualities as a
business man, a true citizen and pious
scholarly and eloquent pastor They
would consider as personal and irrepar-
