stirred up considerable excitement
among members of the order in Butte

was presented with an address of well

the reason that it has been rumored

Father Mccormick preached on the

always going on between the flesh, |
and the spirit" He told of the hard |
struggle it is for the spirit to overcome

slightest touch of temptation, and this |
brings the man to the plane of despair. |
