ous work and devoted interest to the welfare of his community. He has been an untiring worker in every undertaking connected with the parish he organized since his coming here, and marked success has always crowned its efforts. He is an able and convincing speaker and in pulpit oratory he has re- markable ability. He is popular with the people, both young and old, and his kind and prompt attention to the sick and the poor is a matter of worthy comment, as spiritual di- rector of the Holy Name societies; the Holy Rosary society; and the Children of Mary Sodality, he has labored earnestly and faithfully, and in spiritual and social matters he has been the motive power of their success. He gave special attention to the spiritual welfare of the young people and has been constant in promoting the cause of religious instruction for Italian youth. He has aroused splendid enthusiasm among the Boy Scout and Junior Drum Corps. Among the Italians of the city he has done much good in working for their moral and so- cial uplift. He has been active in all things pertaining to their ad- vancement and development. His knowledge of and proficiency in the Italian language, as well as his &C., quaintance with the tradition of these people have enabled him to reach their hearts, and in his leav- ing here, they lose a sincere friend and advisor.
 Missionary Zeal
 The spiritual progress and the so- cial activities now prevailing in the Town Plot Brooklyn section of the Italian people rebound to the credit of his missionary zeal. The fact that his financial ability is no less mark ed, was demonstrated by the un- usual success achieved during the years of the economic depression of which the Brooklyn Town Plot sec tion seems to have shared it's full measure because the bulk of the people is usually wage-earners. Their response under these circum- stances bears splendid testimony to the generosity of the people and their complete confidence in the signal ability of Father Lynch to minister to their spiritual and temporal needs. There never was an occasion in which the people from outside the parish participated whether the activities were social or religious, but that they did not carry away with them a highly favorable impression of the spirit of cooperation and religious fervor displayed by his Italian parishion- CTS. Many regrets are expressed re- garding Father Lynch's departure for generally and individually the community loses in him faithful and willing helper. He takes with him the hearty good will of all, and many sincere wishes accompany him for the best of success in his new sphere of labor.
