Special Pew for Reporters.

Rev. Joseph Chartrand, pastor of
SIS. Peter and Paul's cathedral, has a
hatred of publicity, particularly with
regard to his sermons, which are al

Ally well supplied with humor, one OF
his characteristics.
Not long ago he was showing a
newspaper reporter through the cathe-
dral when the two approached a pew,
which, unlike the rest, had no cards
in it indicating rental. The pew was
almost directly under the pulpit.
That's the pew for reporters said
