Edifying Results of Mission.

The faithful attendance of the Cath
/ Ole pupils at the various exercises of
the mission during the ten days of its
course was not only highly edifying,
but also proved good appreciation Of
the advantages held out by this rare
| opportunity; for difficulties not a few,
! besides the perversity that bordered
on the malicious, of the weather of
those first three evenings, We're all
counted as nought in the attainment
/ of the blessings that waited on those
/ happy hours spent before the altar
and listening to the clear and forceful
sermons of the Jealous mission
preachers
Nor was the subject matter of the
instructions dropped at the church
door, but many a striking point or apt
story was carried home and rehearsed
for the absent ones; many a lesson of
the catechism was reviewed, and many
an interesting and animated discussion
provoked, all making for a deeper and
more thorough study of the Catholic
faith.
All this in general, besides the par
ticular favors received by individual
souls, gives cause for deep thankful
ness for the great and manifold graces
of the mission.
The Rev. Father Miller. c. SIS. r., is
acting as chaplain at the academy
during his stay in the city that he calls
home" AT the convent mass of Sun
day morning he preached a most in
teresting and effective sermon on the
timely subject Daily Communion"
Full of concrete illustrations. it APP
pealed in an especial way to the
larger number of the hearers to
whose preparation for the Eucharistic
banquet it tended to give increased
piety and ardor
The pupils are further indebted to
Father Miller for another instance Of
his active interest in their educational
advancement, graciously accepting. as
he did, an invitation to occupy the
chair of instruction at the period of
the weekly lesson on subjects of ETH
quette. Very appropriately he chose
the theme of Church and Street Ell
quette," of which assuredly he was
amply provided with observations and
experiences.
Alumnae Reunion.
Letters from the old graduates in
response to the Sisters note of invita-
ton to the Alumnae reunion are COM
ing in every day, and of those express
regret that the invitation cannot be
accepted many are so tOucnlngly beau
tiful that there is a temptation to
publish them, if only for the pleasure
of those who delight in the loveliness
of unforgetting gratitude and affec-
tionate attachment to the friends of
''auld lang syne." An almost audible
note of gladness likewise sounds clear
and merry in the briefer answers of
those who write that they are coming.
and as the happy day draws near it
seems to gather to itself the thoughts
and sentiments of all who are waiting
and preparing il, and that means al
most every one now at st. Mary's.
