PRIESTS OBSERVE
 l6TH ANNIVERSARY
Meet in Abandon d Chinese Cemetery Near
 Hong Kong

A strange reunion't to celebrate the ioth anniversary of ordination to the priesthood took place in South China in on abandoned cemetery ct Sun Wui, near Hongkong, amid the thatched huts of Q leper colony.
 Rev. Joseph A. Sweeney, pastor of the leper colony where the rec union was held, is from Now Brit- aoin. Ee and Msgr. Raymond A. Lane of Lawrence, Mags., now pre- feet apostolic of FuShun In Man- chukuo, were seininarians together end were ordained February 8, 1920, ct Maryknoll, N. Y.
 This year, on the 18th anniver- sary of the date, they sat down to table amid surroundings which would have brought no joy to the average person but which means the fulflliment of lifelong dreams Of these New England men.
 Msgr. Lane, who directs Mary. knoll mission activity in far-off Manchukuo, travelled more than c thousand miles to South China to be with Father Sweeney on the an. aiveggary.
 More than 2So lepers are grouped ln the abandoned cemetery. Under the nasne "0ate Of Heaven Leper Asylum" IT. Sweeney and his as. sistant, Rev. Francis J. Connors of Peabody, Mass, have charge of the second largest leper colony in South China. Tn the short space Of two years, the once struggling hamlet built of old comm boards In which miserable wretches huddled to. gether, has become haven of refuge for South China's lepers. The Chinese government, recognizing the cclony's usefulness, recently ceded to VT. Sweeney 300 acres on Ngai Moon, c peninsula ct the mouth of the Kongnioon river. The colony will soon move from the old Cesne. tery.
 Msgr. Lanes 10 years of zeaious ministry have brought him the cd. ininigtrative care of the prefecture of Tushun, mission territory i1 Manchukuo, and the direction of It's 24 Maryknoil priests, two Maryknoli brothers and 20 Maryknoll sisters.
