fessOr'S. The church was filled to

burg this week He is a willing and
successful worker and his ambition

LENTEN SERVICES.
The wOmen's retreat was a great
and gratifying success. Father Lar
kin was, indeed pleased at the re-
suits of his efforts. The women re-
spOnded in large numbers at all serv-
ices, especially at the communion.
Sundays communion was one of the
largest in the history of the church.
1t is to be hoped that the women will
encourage the men for their mission.
Many a man stayed home with the
young ones last week who had not
performed that noble duty in a long
while. Now it will be the ladies turn
to help the men to fill the church
from Wednesday to Sunday.

apostles for these few days And let
those who are not accustomed to walk
