driven to the Church street station, where hundreds swa1med about the vehicle, making his passage almost impossible.
 In the meantime another group Of parishioners was waiting with anxiety at the Berlin station enter taining fears that an accident had delayed Rev. Father Bojnowski or that he had altered his plans and would be driven to New York in an automobile.
 Professor Stanislas Maria De Torosiewicz, one of the closest friends of Rev. Father Bojnowsk, in an attempt to console the crowd telephoned to the rectory but being informed that the pastor had not returned since he left at 5:30 he tt.lephoned to the local station, and was informed that Rev. Father Bojnowski was about 10 board the Berlin train.
 Largest Crowd in 40 Years
 The stationmaster at Berlin, after viewing the crowd and automobiles which filled the parking space op- posite the station, stated that it was the largest gathering he had seen there in his 40 years of service.
 After Professor Torosiewicz had located Rev. Father Bojnowski he telephoned to railroad authorities in Hartford requesting that the train be delayed few moments and that It approach the station at a slower rate of speed to prevent an accident
 His request was granted. About 10 minutes after the arrival of Rev. Father Bojnowski the New York eX- press approached sounding it's whistle continuously.
 Administering his blessings he boarded the train, seated himself in . rear seat of a Pullman. and waved his hand as the train slowly pulled out for it's destination while q great hush fell over the paris7ioners, some of them saying in whispers, He has gone probably never 10 re- turn"
 In his farewell sermon at 10 o'clock Rev. Father Bojnowski thanked the trustees, altar boys, members of the choir and others who served the church in any way, for their services, requesting that they continue in his absence.
