Wilson is rapidly accommodating evil

Lectures at the Catholic Church

The very interesting and instructive
series of lectures which are being de-
livered at the Catholic church. King
wood, are proving eminently success
full, as is evidenced by the large at
tendance of both Catholics and non
Catholics. The subjects treated are of
special interest TO non-Catholics.
Such topics as Can a Priest Forgive
SIM" Monks and Nuns" "The Pope. +"
"Is There a Hell? What Is It?" have
been ably and convincingly treated.
Father Swint is being assisted by
Father Burke, Of Wheeling, a young
and new recruit to the Wheeling apos-
tolate. Father Swint, who was al
ready so favorably known to the King
wood people, is fully living up to his
reputation as a speaker and a scholar.
Father Burke is proving himself a
worthy second to Father Swint. As
interest, especially on the part of non
Catholics has steadily grown, the mis-
sionaries have decided to remain for
another week. The subjects of the
lectures during the coming week will
be:
Sunday, June Is why Men do not
Believe
Monday, June Purgatory and
Prayer for the Dead
Tuesday, June 90 Divorce and Race
Suicide.
Wednesday. June Elbow May We
Know Gods Truth?
Thursday, June Catholics and
the Bible
Friday, June % Sin.
Saturday, June p Why Pray to the
Saints?
Sunday June 25-Why I am a Cath
Ollie
On Wednesday and Saturday even
ings the lectures will be delivered by
Father Burke, on all other evenings by
Father Swint. Questions will he an
swered every evening. Every one is
cordially invited.
