ty years had been the pastor OF the
st. Andrews and ST. Thomas congre-
cations, babe his countless number of
friends goodbye He deeply regret
ted to leave PotOsi, where he has so
many friends. The members of his
church suggested sending a delega-

him to permit Father Pape to remain
here. To this he would not allow
them to do, saying that he was called
by the Bishop to come to Lacrosse
