the love and respect the people OF
both parishes have for him and their
sincere wishes and prayers for his
speedy and complete restoration to
health.
Father Svrdlik was touched to
tears. From the depths Of his heart
he thanked them ana the people Of
the two parishes for their affection
ana their generosity. He told Of his
twenty years Of work as their pas

been shown Him ana OF the willing
operation upon which he has al
