ST, MARY's LIBERTY BOND
 DRIVE REACHING SIG 600

Gifts that will total at least $11,0O0; in the diamond jubilee Liberty bond drive at St Mary's church towards the fund for new church will have been received by the end of this week. said Rev. William A. keefe, the pass tor on Friday evening. One gift of a thousand dollar Liberty bond was received from man in memory of his parents and other gifts of $3o9 and
 S100 have been among the larger con-
 tributions.
 So many both inside and outside of
 the parish have given Father Keefe assurance of help that the success of
 the drive is virtually assured. A
 great many of the members of St.
 Patricks parish, when they made their
 gifts. as many have already done, told
 him that they felt a debt of gratitude
 to St. Mary's parish whose members
 in days gone by had contributed thousands of dollars to build and beautlfy St. Patriclk's church. Anoth- CT pleasing indication of the interest felt in the community among non Catholics was the remark of one prominent hon Catholic that he felt pleased to assist in the building of a new church that would be a memorial in a way to the soldiers and sailors from St Mary's parish who had helped  protect his business and his home and his country in the recent war. He felt it was matter of civic as well as. re- ligious1 service and he was proud to help.
 The following telegram was reeeiv- ed Friday by Fr. Keefe' from Rev. James J. Smith of St. Francis church, New Haven. under whose pastorate
 here the lot was bought where the new church will be erected:
 "Congratulatio May the events of the Diamond Jubilee year be worthy
 of St Marys great people. May we i've to see a beautiful new St. Mary s church on Schof1eld hill. God bless you all" 41 l At the mission meeting Friday even ing the church was completely filled
 with a congregation of men. Tie in
 struction was by Fr. Chestnut and the sermon was by Fr. Reagan, q powerful
 discourse upon the Mercy and Love pf
 God, with an appeal for all men to
 seek His forgiveness.
