AMONG THE CHURCHES
St. Mary's Church Notes


Bans were published for the second
time at ali masses Sunday for Arthur
Lag randeur and Miss Albina LeCisir
snd for Isadore Dubois and Miss Nina
Bazenet
The interior of the church, which
for some time has been undergoing al
teration and renovation, is beginning
TO show atraetiveness. Eight large
tabieaux and fourteen smaller ones,
done in oil, are to be added. When
the work is finished Putnam viii have
one OF the finest churches in New En-
gland.
The psrishiouers will be given an
opportunity later 10 see the rev light
ing system. The effect as a whole will
be beautiful interior As soon as the
work is finished the pastor expects TO
hold solemn high vespers with three
priests.
On account of the war the annual
fair will be omitted this year. Those
wishing TO make personal eontrieu-
tions may do SO by leaving their dona.
tons at the rectory.
Fr. Bedard spoke at all masses last
sunday: He spoke highly of the de-
monstration given in honor of the
drafted men the Thursday previous.
He alluded to any of the young men
of the parish being called to serve
their country and urged his parishion-
ers to remember them in their prayers.
He also alluded to the fact that on the
previous Sunday all of these young
men attended church. His remarks
were touching and impressive and
held the close attention of the congre-
CATION. he said that he deeply felt the
loss of these fine young men himself.

Ii was very gratifying TO know that
we had such true cooper alton and I'm
terest in the great task that confronts
our country as WAS demonstrated by
the people of Putnam last Thursday.
Such occasion cannot be termed other

fail to inspire truer. sincerer patriot
ism in those Who go forth to give their

Won our fullest measure of thanks.
