Close Of Paulist Mission.

Last night the largest crowd Of
the Mission went to the Church of
the Immaculate Conception to hear
Father Whitaker tell the story of
his conversion to the Catholic
Church. Father Whitaker told first
of his family, who were members
of the. Methodist church, and how
his father each night took down the
large Bible, read a chapter and then
with bowed head offered a prayer.
He told of the prejudice which his
parents entertained toward the
Catholic church, but that a friend
called one day and related that she
had visited a Catholic church during
the service Of the forty hours, and
said that she was much impressed
with the grandeur of the service
She said also that the same service
would be given in a neighboring
church and that she intended to
visit the church. Father Whitaker
was at this time a lad Of IL years.
He begged his parents to permit
him to attend the service and to
his surprise his request was granted.
He attended the service and was
much Impressed with what he saw
He felt, he said, that God was really
present there. After this he fire.

and always left with the same feel
ing. AS time passed he graduated
from the High school and then spent
four years in Wesleyan university.
in Ohio, preparing for the Method
list ministry. While a student he
frequently visited a Catholic church,
yet had no thought of becoming a
Catholic.
Father Whitaker told of a time
when he vas taken sick; that there
were only two hospitals in the town,
one a Catholic, the other a nom
Catholic, and how he chose the
Catholic hospital. and what a great
influence the good sisters had over
him.
Many incidents of his life that
were interesting were related and
step by step led his hearers up to
the point of his embracing the Cath
Ollie faith. He closed his lecture
with al appeal to all Catholics to
lead a good life and show a good ex-
ampe to non-Catholic friends.
The lecture was followed by the
papal benediction, and the mission
was closed.
