Last Wednesday evening Bishop
Gum S. NJ. of Natchez administered
the sacrament of confirmation to one
of the largest and best classes in the
the examination of the class, the Rt
Rev. Bishop put to a severe test the
knowledge of the children; but never
once did they falter. The answers
we're readily and clearly given. The
good and serious training given to the
young ones by Father Larkin and the
Rev. Sisters was greatly in evidence
The parents have every reason to be
proud of their children.
VERY REV. T. J. lARKiN'S BIRTH.
DAY.
Monday, Apri 20 was big day at the
Holy Name Rectory. Birth day greet
ings were in order and they we're
numerous. The children, so dear to
Father Larkin started the gaieties
by little entertainment OF the sweet
and exquisite kind that they alone
know how to prepare.
The programme which appears in
another article was artistically and
sweetly rendered.
The little entertainment was an
expression of deep appreciation of
the work of Father Larkin for the
young ones. and at the same time the
formulating of desires and wishes
for many more years of his stay in
their midst. Wednesday noon saw
Rt. Rev. Bishop Gum S. NJ. Frs.
Alphonsus, Ignatius and Stenmans
gathered at the Rectory for the pur-
pose of wishing to their old and dear
friend a happy feast. Deep and sin
cere we're the wishes of those pros
ent, that he who has labored so
faithfully and successfully for the
Holy Name of Mary parish would
live many more years in order to con-
tinue the good work. Bishop Gum
In his own Incompatible way enum-
Grated the successes of Father Lar
kin since his arrival In Algiers; and
in the name of all present, sincerely
wished him many aIore years of
health and enthusiasm to eclipse If
possible his past enviable record.
FIRST COMMUNION EXCURSION.
Father Larkin took all the boys
and girls of the recent Communion
and Confirmation Glasses, for an
excursion on the good old boat Sgd
ney, Monday afternoon. The owners
of the ferry and the Sidney placed
their boats at the disposal of the
children; and about 400 children
availed themselves of this opportunity.
1t WIS a happy gathering, and giggles
and laughs resounded. from one end
of the boat to the other. They we're
all there young and old, tall and
short, and all had good time. The
only trouble with the excursion was
that II was too short. Well get busy
boys and girls. and see Father Larkin,
you know he cannot resist, or refuse
you, something else may be or
ganized.
