unusually good, Father Delaire sur
prised even his greatest admirers. AL
though not a vehement speaker, his
deep thoughts are brought home in
such persuasive manner that he thus
makes up for his mildness. One can
not help appreciating his earnest and
sincere appeal to the best that is in

Rev. ]. P. Cassagne, S. NJ. improves
every time Last SUNDAYS sermon was
masterpiece of logic, an unanswerable
