Use of Episcopal Church Offered
A brOtherly and Christian spirit was
| eYinced by the pastor and members of
| the Oxford, Ohio, Episcopal congrega-
ton who, after learning of the destruc-
| ton of the local st. Mary Catholic
| Church by fire, offered the use of their
church to Rev. Timothy G.. Bailey.

| offer, and is holding two Sunday serv-
| ices i'll the Episcopal church for his
stricken congregation. The damage
to st. Mary Church, which was almost
| totally destroyed, has been estimated
at $4,000. st. Mary congregation had
| just lifted the parish debt, and a
small surplus was left in the church
| treasury, previous to the fire which
now places another heavy burden
upon Father Bailey's little flock.
