PERSONAL.

ST. Johns Church. st. James parish,
was the guest of Very Rev. Father
Iarkin. S. NJ, last Monday. Father
Stenmans, although he regrets leaV-
ing his many friends in Gretna,
nevertheless is happy at the change.
After travelling on the many mis-
siOns attached to Gretna, with the
devotedness that he did one deserves
a rest. II was surprising the amount
of activity that Father Stenmans dis
played in the welfare Of the people
in his missions No weather was
severe enough to prevent him from
going wherever and whenever duty
required him. In his new field Of
labor he has no missions, but the
spiritual care of his large parish
will give him full scope for his I'M
firing zeal.
Rev. Father Farges, S. NJ, of st.
Joseph's Paulina. was also a guest for
a day at the rectory.
Rev. Father Delaire. S. NJ, came
down Monday in readiness for his
Wednesday sermon.
Rev Fathers Charles and Ignatius
are expected to-day or tomorrow.
Many friends will be on hand, for
one never tires of the company OF such
good and congenial men. Father
Charles attracts through his never
ending joviality and Father Ignatius
through his real big manliness. They
are coming to see "All of Sudden
Peggy" Saturday night at the II. y.
G. c.
LENTEN SERVICES.
With better weather the attend
ance at the Lenten Devotions has
increased, but it is not what it should
really be yet. With everything to at
tract it seems strange that more do
not avail themselves of these won
derful opportunities. The High
School boys and girls are invited at
these services.
Last "Wednesday Rev. Father De-
laires sermon on Gethsamane was
highly praised and appreciated.
Last Sunday Rev. Father Cassagne
surpassed all his former efforts. His
sermon on God and He'll was a
strong, unanswerable argument in
favor of the existence. of this place
of retribution. He went into his sub
ject with all the vehemence of his
strong personality, and the result was
a sermon that will make an epoch in
the preaching annals of the Holy
Name Church.
Next Sunday, with real dramatic
intention, he announces a Trip to
He'll. Sinners cannot fail to hear
this. This will be their only chance
to visit this place with a return
-
sagne will take charge of the party
and guarantees its safe return.

LENTEN LECTURES.
Last Sundays lecture was a treat. |
Brother Fulgentius of Holy Cross |
College was kind enough TO give his
famous lecture on Ben Hur." He
illustrated his story with over one
hundred beautiful colored slides.
Brother Fulgentius has a beautiful
and pleasing Oratund voice, which
filled the hall and thrilled his au-
dience. II was, indeed, kind of
Brother Fulgentius to come over to
Algiers and give the people the bene- |
fit of his studies and hard work. All |
expressed themselves as highly !
pleased.
Next Sunday the main feature will !
be eighty colored slides, reproducing
the masterpieces of the best artists
