lection. Like refreshing breath of
summer, pure in every word and action,
with not situation, line or suggestion
which is not absolutely free from faint,
the laughter provoked is of the whole
some sort. The central figure of the
play, FIR. Whelan, is one of those Iowa
BILE Irish clergymen, united to a rich
fund of humor irrepressible in no mat
ter what circumstances, tenderness OF
heart, patience and charity, that
makes him the burden-bearer of the
community in which he dwells, the
sbarer of their joys and sorrows and
their natural consider and counsellor.
He is the centre of the story, and in the
time of the plays action, two or three
hours of one eventful evening, he is

man to be- The story of The Parish
Priest is one of life, with its hopes, dis
appointments and smiles; not relig-
ious story, for FIR. Whelan is rather the
man than the priest. In no act or sit
nation does he allude to creed, but to
all that is good.
