A priest for nearly thirty-three
years, Monsignor O'Connell has earn
ed the lasting respect of all with
whom he came in contact, and his
iabors at Perth Amboy have made
his influence felt by the entire COM
unity. For the past eight or nine
years Monsignor O'ConneE's health
has been failing, and feeling that he
could no longer retain the RESPONSE
bilities as head of the Perth Amboy-
parish, his resignation was sent TO
The head of the diocese. The resig-
nation was sent from Phillipsburg.
where the monsignor has been stay
ing for several months past in
futile attempt to regain his former
hea4 4th and vigor.
At the suggestion of the Right
| Reverend Bishop James A. McF'aul,
| Monsignor O'Connell consented to
| take a years vacation in the noun
/ tain air of Pennsylvania in 1911, and
| he returned to resume his duties as
active pastor of the church in April,
| i1912. at which time his congrega-
| ton rendered him a mammoth re-
ception as token of the esteem IN
which he was held.
When he returned his health ap-
peared to have been greatly improved
but shortly after this the arduous Ia
/ bors attendant to the monslgnor
duties again placed him on the verge
of a nervous breakdown. In May,
1914, he left for visit at the home
of his brother in Phillipsburg, believ-
! ing that a change of air would be
/ beneficial. He returned again in the
fall, but his condition necessitated
tanother period of freedom from par
Iish duties and in December he again
left for Warren county. During his
absence Rev. James McKeeyer as
sumed charge of the local parish and
conducted the parish work in an et-
ficient manner. He was assisted by
Rev Charles Farran.
i Shortly after assuming his pastor
ate in this city Father OConnell, i'm
bued with his characteristic spirit OF
energy and helpfulness, began te
take an active part in the building OF
the new church and he was reward
ed for his efforts by the erection oi
the present handsome edifice il
Center street.
Father O'Connell was placed ii
charge of the local parish in 1893
coming from Bound Brook, where ht
had built up thriving parish. He
succeeded the Rev. Father Peter L
Connolly.
In recognition of his efficient serv

The first round was even, the

from the outset and he seemed to
improve as the battle went on. Con-

stiffness and his ring experience, so
far as blocking punches were con-
cerned, amounted to little in the
early stages of the fight. Willard
landed frequently and with much
force. Johnson started off with his
customary broad smile. He used 1t

same attitude as he assumed when
