God and his fellow men was ever
strongly upon him. and in January
1913 he formally entered upon the
study of Theology at ST. Marys Semi
nary, Belmont, N. G. under the Vener-
able Bishop Haid.
He will supersede Rev. Father Fran
els Gallagher as pasor at Goldsboro,
Mt. Olive and the SURROUNDING mis-
sio1is.
The young priest has host of ad-
miring friends in every rank Of life,
and is 'one''of the most popular young
men in Wayne county. Success in his
chosen career is assured, for Father
Freeman-we have known him all his
life-combines in rare degree the
modesty and the knowledge, the geL-
tlemanly tact yet reserved courage
which, coupled with his Intelligent in
dustry and consecfated purpose, mean
success of pronounced type in Win

Evening Service.
The evening service saw the beau
| ttiful little church again we'll filled
! with our fellow citizens of all creeds,
in honor of the young priest and the
/ patriarchal bishop.
Bishop Haid preached another pow
erfu1 sermon, taking as his topic the
necessity of sacrifice in carrying out
the will of Cod He emphasized the
need of religion I'M ones daily life,
stressing the afuti1ity of religion in
d having little or none of the elements
of self repression }or sacrifice and
pointing out as model the Crucified
j Christ On Calvary.
Sacrifice is necessary: it is quite
impossible without the grace of AL
mighty God, said the bishop, as the
tendency of the age is altogether away
from the spirit and meaning of Gods
commandments and His requir ements
1 Of service "Unless you do penance
you shall all likewise perish" "He
4 who will not confess me before men
him I will not confess before my
Father who is in heaven"
4 Following the Bishops sermon he
administered the Sacrament Of Conf1I
J nation To many who saw for the
: first time this beautiful rite. and the

; ment was given by the bishop, assisted

Thomas.
i A Word OF Thanks.
5 Too much praise can scarcely bt
: given the retiring pastor, Rev. Fathe
l Gallagher, for his efforts in building
|. up the church of ST. Mary's. The re
= cent improvements, planned, directe'
: and executed by him, have gone "a
t toward beautifying St. Mary's, so tha
|, now it is truly an architectural ger
u within and without. His generous eff
forts to make Father Freeman's frs
Mass an occasion of joyful se1emnitJ
4 so to speak, were crowned with th
: happiest of results, and he leaves tn
n pastorate of st. Mary's only to identif
a himself more closely with Rock
Y Mount and his fast increasing coagre
cation there. At Go1dsboro he leave
d large circle of friends who will glad
;el ly welcome him whenever the oppol
y tunity is given him to call upon u
le and we are happy to know that he !
i. to remain so near us-at Rock
n Mount
r Father Freeman held early servit
ly in ST. Mary's this morning, and left ;
