able to attend the preceding weeks.

and spirit manifested all during tine
mission were highly gratifying.
I'VE were greatly pleased with the
week of the mission which was devoted
to lectures for non-Catholics, contin-
ued Father Dougherty, in speaking Of
the mission and its results. THE at
tendance was very large and the in
terest displayed by the non-Catholics
present was really inspiring. The
questions submitted without exception
manifested the spirit of fairness exist
ing. Not a single question bore the
least taint of malice. The purpose of
the lectures that were given that week
was purely educational and the SER
mons were received in the spirit in
which they were delivered. We shall
always think of Butte as one of the
country'S greatest cities. The city is
worthy of its renowp."
