NIGHT SESSION
SHOULD SPEAK
 FOR SELF ONLY

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 I read in your mornings issue that a certain MT. Quinn has used Father Coyles name in connection with MT. Slattery. I am sure that the gentle man is presumptuous and was not authorized. We Catholics love our priests and sisters of charity because we know them well. and we also know their enemies and would not want to see them sroop to debate with such detractors And that alone keeps Father Coyle from putting himself on level with them. If Mr. Quinn de- sires he can do as he pleases, but he should keep the name of our beloved priests out of it all. Very truly
