There were many subje|cts upoit which they did not think alike, but he; was happy, to, think that vye had reached the time.in, Engiand’yvheii lye.could meet itV a, friendly way,’ and cdulcl say that.althcugh piu' hidividual opuiicns did . not coincide, we couldmeot with each'ctlier

They had. very ; good


__________________ ______________ .Gchoo'ls, and he believed that the report cf the loyal, and very sacrificing. Standiag cull among: Inspectors showed tliat the sclixtols gave a


------ most efficient secular education, and they said and hs thought they .sa-iid right, that akhoirgh ttey valued secular education, although they \rislied to see tlie youth of this land as well armed as ppssiible, althcngh they wished to irrake 'hiim wiser in' every , respect' than' his fathers, they would net neglect the one


■ thing whiclvliras tlip foufidation of all true re-, ligi'on,—^he fear of.Qod (.Applause). He thougiit th^ agreed with him in saying that these well-knoliii words of the Bible ii'ere as true today a.s the day on ivhlch ' they were written. Referfing to tlie event and the abiect . . for which it


ii-aa being held, Mr. Weeks ii'eii.t on to, sa.y that


•the work of restoration of the Chuiich had been executed in a manner to meet ivitlv the satisfaction cf ei'ety-one (Applause). And he hoped that tlie I'usult ivoutld bo a. success. Some jicople did iiot seehii to value the .as­ sistance art and mls’c could lend to tile service of God. Of course there ivere extremes in all things, and he fek convinced that some sections of the Church; in, thinking it was wise to avoid one extreme, and gone to tile other. However, his duty tiiat day liras to introduce Fr. Piraiington and that duty he ivcnld iritho,ut frartlier delay preceed to per- icm, (Applause).


! The Rev. Father Pinaiugten then rose to j-er-


form the oponhig 'ccreinoiiy, an.l afiler thanking Goimcillor Weeks for Ills eulogistic introduction, ivonfc on , to siiy' that he did not sec the neces­ sity of tho bazaar being opened this afternoon. It was opened yesiierdny. (Laughter). How­


ever, lie'thought there was a passion alt llio firesdut llime for opouiiig tlraags, and priests were no exception, (Laughter). Nevcrtheie.sr, they Caltholics kept to-day a festival which was


to all of them very , dear, and so he thought i'; was some cousolatioii to thiuk that perhaps they might say, ".Bolter the. day, better the dce<l..'' As for, the object of that sale of work, lie need not say mucli, it being so ivell-knowa: amongst them. According to the best, philosophy, a thing of h’cau'ly was a joy for evei-. (.Applause.', It would, be a joy to any who had in any way assisted ill the work, and it*' would - be a joy to their chiklteii, for they would look back with ■ great pleasure on what tlieir paren'.BI and grand­ parents had done for them and for the house of God. It was a pleasure to them to be members of such a beautiful church, and to worship in such a temple. They hud done their best to make it worthy of the God whom they served, and he thought that would tend in a largo measure to promote a greater union, of siiirit.
