gave me- How do you strike the wall

These are only some of the numerous
questions which | proposed to him
through Agnes. What was strange
about the matter was that he would never
be intigued in speaking to his little
daughter. But as soon MS she retired to
bed she was never annoyed till morning.
When asked how he spent the night :
Watching and praying.' When asked
several times to speak aloud that we
might hear him, ho said he was sent to
speak to Agnes. 1t being

Such is the outline of this strange ap,
partition. What do you think of it.
Agnes McDonough received her frs
communion on the first Sunday of Sep
tcmber and was confirmed by your Lord
ship the next day. Her brother, who
never went to church since the death o
her father, attends since, and is preparing
for general confession. Strange, tn,
father told him what to do and how 10
prepare; that is, when Agnes asked him
lie told him to go three times every Sat.
urday for three Saturdays, and if neces.
sary, fourth, to prepare for his Holy
Communion; after that to go 10 his duty
every third week for six months and ther
never TO omit his religious duties after

TO com bat the materialistic tendency of
of so called scientific men, and for that
