PURSE GIVEN
TO M0NSIGNOR
Reception for Rev. B. T.
0'COnneII Last Night.

To congratulate him on his i'm
proVement in health and to welcome
his return as pastor the representa-
tive men of the congregation of st.
Mary's Roman Catholic church ten
dered Rev. MOnsignor B. T. O'COn-
nell a delightful reception in St.
Mary's hall in Center street last
night and presented him with a
purse Of $500 in gold. Despite the
inclement weather the hall was
crowded and when the Monsignor en-
tered escorted by Rev. Peter D. Corr
and Rev. James A. McKeever a chorus
Of Knights of Columbus members
sang Welcome to Our Pastor,&1C-
companied by J.. j. Harper at the
piano.
At the conclusion of the opening
chorus John CIDonehue, a trustee Of
st. Mary's church, stepped to the
platform and in an eloquent name
welcomed Monsignor O'Connell back
to his charge.
Address of Welcome.
In the address of welcome Mr..
DOnehue said:
Right Reverend Monsignor O'Con-
nell:-
The people of your parish have
gathered here this evening to well
come you back to the field where
you have labored so faithfully for
God and for us. We have awaited
with anxiety for this day which sees
you restored sufficiently in health
to once more return to us and re-
sumo your place as pastor of st.
Mary's.
The regret which we all felt a
year or more ago when your sickness
compelled you to leave Perth Amboy
and seek elsewhere for renewed
strength and Vigor is lightened by
the fact that you are again with us
tonight. The work which you have
done for St. Mary's is too well known
to need any comment from me. 1t
Is sufficient to say that your con
SAINT ~endeayors and unseltish devo-
ton for us all have won a~place in
our hearts that time cannot efface.
Your leaving us has been a moral loss
to this community which is only
mitigated by your return.
I'm this connection | should say
that st. Mary's has been most fortu-
nate in having had as assistant pas
tor, Father Corr, who has worked
