The chapel was crowded to hear the wvisiting priest, who gave an interesting discourse on the ex- ample offered by Christ in the forty days of Lent. Christ, Father KXeefe said, was a man of sorrow, scoffed at and humili- ated. An application of the example was seen today in the many who by acts or words persecuted Christ. Fa- ther Keefe made an appeal to the peo- ple, asking who would crown Him and who would crucify Him. The fine church and the great prog- ress made by the parish was reason for congratulations offered to the wor- shippers by Father Keefe. The beau- tiful edifice, he said, was a reason for all members of the parish to feel proud and he urged that they continue to sacrifice in helping Father Fitzsimons, their pastor. On Wednesday evening Father Keefe delivered the Lenten sermon at St. Mary’s church. TAFTVILLE < February Mesting of Ladies’ Benevo- lent Society—Death - of Napoleon Rondeau—Village Notes.
