of the most eloquent clergymen Of
the church in the United States.

Father Waldron when he officiated at
his first mass twenty five years ago,
and the joy with which yesterday he
could look back over his quarter
century Of service for the Master and
the church.
Hundreds Of persons who desired
to attend the anniversary mass were
disappointed, as the church could not
begin to accommodate the throng.
The visiting clergy and those Of the
local churches were entertained at a
dinner given by Father Waldron in
the gymnasium OF Brownson Library
in the afternoon, and were also
guests at a supper at 6 o'clock. Many
OF those present in the afternoon
made speeches eulogistic Of Father
Waldron and his successful work in
the priesthood at the afternoon ban
