with delight by both priests who will
shortly go to the front to serve with
the boys in the trenches, brought sor-
row and regret to their many friends
The Rev. Father F. A. Murray

McQuaid, having passed. successful

Father Murray will go to Texas to the
cantonment there before going to
France, and Father McQuaid will be
sent to Fort Oglethrope, Ga.
OF the two local priests Father Muir
ray is perhaps better known. He has
been active in the parish work and has
been especially interested with the re-
ligious work of young men. Being a
young man himself he understands
them and is in full sympathy with
yonug men. He has done a wonderful
work here, and is beloved by all who
know him, both by Catholics and
Protestants. He will be greatly miss
ed in Annapolis. but those who part
with him and his splendid work here
will realize what is their loss is the
gain of the young service men who
have given their life's service to their
country, and who need just such en-
enlargement and consolation as Faith
er Murray can give.
