the day in town and reached the
Delaware and Hudson depot just as
the train had started. 1t was icy
where Mr.. Colwell attempted to
board the train and he missed his
footing. He fell to the ground and

Father O'Toole, who was trans
fered from Wellsboro to st. John 5
Roman Catholic church, Honesdale,
by Bishop Hoban, preached his first
sermon on Sunday morning. A large
/ congregation greeted the new priest
which listened attentively to a schol-
arly discourse by him upon The
| Wise Men" Father O'TOole's deliv-
cry is perfect. His remarks are ac-
cOmpanied by gestures OF a dramatic
nature that make his sermons very
fOrCeful and interesting. 1t may be
said that he won the love and respect
of his large congregation at the first
appearance in his new parish in
| Honesuale on Sunday. Father
O'Toole made an excellent address
before the sOdality OF the church in
1 the evening. The townspeople well
come Father O'Toole to Honesdale
and sincerely hope that his relations
| here will be as pleasant as they were
at Wellsboro.
