VISITORS.

Rev. J. OBrien of Chicago has been
enjoying Very Rev. T. J. Larkin's hos
pitality for few days. Father
O'Brien has been in very poor health
lately and he is now on trip
through the South in order to recu-
perate and fit himself for his ardu-
Gus duties. After a trip through
Texas he will return to New Orleans
for Carnival time The mildneSS OF
New Orleans climate has been bene-
fetal to him and he is already be-
ginning to improve.
Very Rev. Stenmans was at the
rectory Monday. Father Stenmans,
who has been doing such excellent
work in Gretna and the dependent
missions. has been changed to a bet
ter parish, St Johns. He is delighted
at the change and he deserves the
promotion. He has been untiring in
working for the good of his people.
And this is saying a great deal, for
Father Stenmans is unusually active
for man of his age. In losing him
the Marist Fathers will lose their best
friend, for during the years that he
has been a neighbor the relations with
him have been most pleasant and
friendly. Father Stenmans is good
priest, lover of the children, and
may success follow him in his new
field of labor.
Very Rev. Father Larkin, s. NJ,
left for Northern climes for a few
days on business and a mission of
devotion. Golden jubilees of mar
ried life are so few and such edifying
occasions that no sacrifice should be
spared to make joyful and merry
days Mr.. and Mrs. Devlin of Phila-
delphia are special friends of Father
Larkin's and the feast would not be
complete without his presence. His
assisting at the ceremony will be a
fitting tribute to honest and true
conjugal life, the kind that should be
more frequent. This will afford
Father Larkin chance to get little
rest before the strenuous season of
Lent
LENTEN LECTURES
February 9 a special benefit will be
given at the H. n. G.. c. for the pur-
pose of defraying the necessary eX
penses of these lectures. Three lee |
lures have alreay been secured and |
three more are being prepared. The
Sunday school children and school |
children will be asked to interest
themselves in this benefit. All the
people OF the parish are invited to CO.
operate, for the good results from
these lectures will surprise many.
All will be invited. 1t is the ,nten.
ton of the fathers OIL The parish to
finally establish weekly lectures on
religious and historical subjects.
The children know so much about
moving picture stars simply because
these personages are placed before
them repeatedly and in most striking
and appealing events they naturally
make a strong impression on youth
full minds. Religious and Biblical
subjects and characters placed before
the minds of the young will also i'm
press themselves more lastingly when
presented on a screen, accompanied
with a well-worded explanation. Inc
people who have at heart the welfare
of their children should help them
out by coming to the show on Friday,
February 9, and by sending their
children to these lectures, which will
be given every Sunday afternoon in
the H. n. G. C. Hall.
The special feature for that night
will be Mae Murray in The Pillow
Girl" This is a beautiful story that
will delight everybody.
