Scope and Contents

The Bishop may send any one he pleases. If the Belgian priest will do what he tells him and work in harmony he has no choice whatever. Father John McCabe has been very ill since going to Falls Village . Last Friday a telegram came asking for heavy clothes and for the doctor. The doctor says that he was dangerously ill of some internal illness. He may do well on that mission but Hendricken fears he is too far away from restraining influence. He hates solitude. Bourke, who wrote for a dispensation to marry his sister-in-law, has not been candid. He is not the man the girl wants to marry. He thinks there is trouble and has sent for the parties. When Hendricken was leaving Watertown that day Barnard was passing along with the Protestant crowd coming from church with the people. It is a great blessing that McFarland discovered the true character of this young man and removed him from danger of scandal to priests. Times are still dull there but there are signs of a revival of business in many factories. At present few mills run at more than three-quarters time. :: I-1-c A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
