came as "A big surprise to FIR. Dough
erty, and indeed to everybody, but
this war has upset many things and
even religious orders are affected by
It.
FIR. Dougherty. ever since he has
been ordained, has been connected
with the college where he has done
most efficient work. He was profess
sor of higher English, of which Ian
guage he is a master. As project
he was perfectly at home, having
the happy faculty of combining firm
ness with a fatherly feeling for
boys. He knew how to make them
obey him and yet retain their affec-
ton. He will be missed in the dra-
matte circles of the college, for he
has had charge of the plays ever
since he has been connected with
that institution, and some of his
productions would have been a
credit to any stage.
AS a preacher he will long be re-
membered by those who were for
tunate enough to hear him. With
a powerful physique, pleasing pres
ence, and a beautiful rotund voice,
he always made a lasting impression
on his audience.
The Fathers and the boys were
very sorry to see him depart,
however their good wishes follow
him in his new field of labor.
Rev. Thomas Bower, S. NJ. who
will replace Rev. FIR. Dougherty,
was in Algiers Sunday. FIR. Bower
has been ailing for many months,
and a change has been advised by
his physicians. He is one of the
best college men of the Marist Order
in America. He has the degree of
NJ. A. from some English Univer-
sity and has been at college work
practically all his life. He came to
America from New Zealand, where
he was a big factor in the prosperity
ton of the world. He will be a
most valuable member of the al
ready we'll balanced faculty of JEFF
ferson College.
Holy Week Services.
Holy Thursdays ceremonies we're
most impressive FIR. Larkin offici-
ated with his usual dignified and
pious attitude. The ceremonies ran
very smoothly and were indeed very
imposing. The procession was I'M
usually long, filling the three aisles
of the church. The different Organi-
cations of ladies took part and the
singing was done by the Children of
Mary. The flower girls looked most
charming and demure in their long
flowing white dresses. After Ten
ebrae that evening, Rev. FIR. Delaire,
S. NJ, preached a beautiful and pow
erful sermon on the Eucharist
The large communion at the Mass
Mas most edifying. The commu-
1ons in the parish are greatly on
khe increase.
4 The watching during the day was
well attended. A very large num-
Der of pious adorers kept watch dur
ing the whole day. The different la
dies societies and altar boys had
special members appointed for each
hour and these were most faithful
in their attendance. From nine
Thursday night to six Friday morn
ing the men had charge, and let it
be said here to the credit of our
men that they were more numerous
than ever. The Holy Name Society,
Ushers and H. N. G. C. were we'll
represented.
The Friday morning services at
tracted a large crowd of faithful,
who must have enjoyed the strange
complicated but full of religious
meaning ceremonies. The celebrant
was Very Rev. FIR. Larkin, S. NJ,
the Passover was sung by FIR. Petit
as the narrator, FIR. Casagne took
the part of the populace and FIR. !
Larkin of Christus. Rev. FIR. De- |
laire, S. NJ, preached a touching
and soul inspiring sermon on the |
Passion in the evening. The audi
ence was one OF the largest ever seen
in the Holy Name of Mary church,
which fact was a beautiful tribute
10 the earnestness and eloquence of
a most sincere preacher.
Saturdays service.
FIR. Larkin, celebrant, FIR. Cas-
sagne, deacon and FIR. Delaire, sub
deacon. At these ceremonies took
place the blessing of the new fine
Paschal Candle Baptismal Font and
hen Solemn High Mass.
In the afternoon the confessions
began at O'Clock and kept four
men busy until close to 10 D. m.
Easter Sunday.
Easter morning, though dshered
n by a cold wintry blast gathered
somewhere in the vicinity of the
North Pole, saw an immense throng
It the 5, and 9 clock Masses. And
'ommunions, there seemed to be no
md to them. Those who did not re-
GIVE must have felt somewhat like
trangers. Whole families were seen
ogether. 1t was a most impressive
light and no better Easter wishes
ould be given to the priests of the
'arish than this wonderful testi-
nony of faith and piety. Nothing
etter could reward them for their
fforts to promote the welfare of
heir people. The solemn High Mass
