In conclusion Captain Power assured Father Yorke that the members of Com- pany I would Jeave nothing undone to make themselves worthy of the fatherly care and solicitude of their new pastor. Father Yorke thanked the boys for the warm reception accorded him, and said he was proud that his labors in behalf of the Leagua of the Cross had been attend- ed with some success. He had not been brought in close contact with Company I, but its welfare was included In that of the whole regiment, for the success of which he was always solicitous, To shield the boys of the city and fit them for a worthy citizenship had been one of the chief aims of his ministry. “The saloon is the great danger to the youth of our day,” sald Father Yorke.
