MRS. w. c. AMMAN IN
 NEW HAMPSHIRE CONVENT To Spend Summer There to Recover
 Her Health.

A letter was received by Norwich friends Sunday from Mrs William Camp Lanman, who is at St. Mary's convent of the Sisters of Mercy at Hooksett, New Hampshire, where she will spend the summer. Mrs Lanman, who was enclosed" as the religious term is. as a nun of the Society of Marie Reparatrice, Twenty ninth street. New York, on May g. has not been strong the past winter and spring, although she has been assisting in the different convent work with classes of young girls and children, etc. She was most happy in the community life gave perfect satisfaction the reverend mother superior, and it was intended that she should go this month to Tour nai in Belgium. for the remainder of her novitiate, and there take her final vows. But a noted New York physi- elan has ordered her to go without delay into the country to live in the open air, as he found she would not live long unless she left the city. As the Reparatrice nuns, to which community Mrs. Lanman now belongs, have no country house of the order in America, the reverend mother fla vored Mrs. Lanman's departure at once for the home of her cousin, Dr. J. l.. May, in Portsmouth, N H., and she left New York May 26.
 The change has already improved her health and it was arranged that she should go to Hooksett Heights, near Portsmouth, where there is con- vent of another order, the Sisters of Mercy, who have young ladies school and guest house, their convent being located in property of about 800 acres, where the mountains. pine woods and picturesque scenery are noted.
 Mrs. Lanman believes that her health will be restored so that she will be able this fall to resume her New York work. Her address is, Care Rev. Moth CT Superior, St. Mary's Heights, Hook sett, New Hampshire.

FAIR WEATHER CHRISTIANS
Rebuked by Rev. Hugh Treanor, Rector of St. Patrick's-The Sothfu Will Have Poor Excuse to Offer God.

Yesterday. the third Sunday after
 Pentecost, also the Feast of the Sacred
 Heart of Jesus, the epistle read in the
 mass in the Catholic churches was
 Peter V. 6-11, and the gospel Luke xv, 1-10. At St. Patrick's church Rev Hugh Treanor preached at the high
 mass, which was celebrated by Rev. William F. Cavanaugh.
 The gospel related the parable of the Good Shepherd and the lost sheep In the course of his brief sermon Rev. Father Treanor said that 1t was poor return for favors and graces received from Almighty God, who in love and tenderness seeks His wayward sheep. when Christians are SO easily kept from church by little rain, or the dis comfort of heat or cold Business, pleasure, profit. would take them out in worse weather: but when it is a question of the obligation of attending | church they are 3 law unto themselves. l He reminded such fair weather Cath | olics that conscience must be formed on the basis of Gods law and on the authority of His church. not upon in l dlvidual Whim or convenience. and wondered what excuse the slothful will i have to offer when they are called to i the final judgment. Those who pamper the body. vet neglect the soul, were l rebuked for the folly of their ways.

 He picked up a telephone wire which hung from one of the poles carrying the wires of the Uncas Pow CT company's high tension line.
