Meetings.
St Vincent de Paul Conference
had a large and enthusiastic meet
ing Monday. This society seems to
be going better and better every day.
Preparations are now being made
for the greater needs of the poor
during the winter season. 1t was
good to see Louis Lahare there after
his sick spell of Sunday. There is
some money still out from the show
given at the II. n. G. c., which the
conference is anxious to have turned

Holy Name Society.
A very fine meeting Of this So
ciety was held last Thursday. The
visiting committee appointed by the
State Board was present to lend help
and give encouragement. Mr. L. w.
Beverungen, T. j. Mcdonald, ]. l..
Cabillero formed the committee
They assisted at the church services
and at the business meeting. They
were pleased to see the church ser
vices carried out according to the
manual of the order and they stated
that the Algiers Society was the only
one they visited that held the church
services in such thorough manner.
AT the business meeting these men
spoke at length on subject Of vital i'm
portance to the Society. Mr. Bev-
erengun gave out a few figures
showing the standing of Holy So
ciety amongst the Catholic organi-
cations of the city. He also gave
out fiures showing where the AL
giers division stood compared with
other divisions. The standing of the |
Holy Name Society of Algiers whilst |
creditable Is not what it should be. |
Its record of communions was the |
best and placed 1t amongst the first. |
Mr.. Cabilleros talk was more in the
way of experiences which were well
chosen and always carried a good |
lesson. His practical illustration of |
what can be done with a little power
made deep impression on the menu
bers. Mr.. T. j. Mcdonald, grand |
marshall of last years rally, spoke
on the necessity OF cooperation
which was a timely subject, well
handled and Interestingly delivered.
1t was a meeting that was appreci-l
ated by all present. Mr.. Frank Duffy,
chairman OF the meeting, thanked
the visiting committee for their in
teresting and instructive visit. The
usual routine of business then took
place and the meeting was adjourned
until the third Thursday of October.
