City of Brotherly Love. this unusual
custom had prevailed for a few days
In New York household where disci-

The curiosity of the 6-year-old son OF

strange proceedings, and he had also
noticed that the Philadelphia folks
were excellent trenchermen. His moth

young hopeful had only very hazy

SOME AMERICAN CHURCHES OF NOTE.

claim to have been cured Of their in

Lady of Consolation Church, is one
OF several church in the Buckeye
State which have become famous
throughout the Nation. The late Pope
Leo recognized it as pilgrimage
church, and better still he sent to it
an ante-pendium and altar outfit.
The interesting history of this
church dates back to the arrival In
this country of band of people from
the European province of Luxem-
bourg-the province in which pestil-
ence wrought most dire distress in the
Sixteenth century. 1t will be recalled
that the few who survived this
scourge erected In Luxembourg a
church to the memory of the Holy vir-
gin. At the dedication of this church,
1t is claimed, a statue of the Holy
Virgin and her child was found upon
the altar whereupon its origin was
generally accepted as divine. Many

conduct and conscience, was overlaid
with many of the amenities Of Yam

anecdotes Of his grandfather. one Of
which, quoted by w. A. Bradley, in
his biography of the poet, may serve
to indicate the way in which he exer-

the patriarchial conception Of justice
that was held in q remote New Eng
