A few years ago he asked Hudson to insert a few intentions for the prayers of the Confraternity of Our Lady of Lourdes. One of the sick friends for whom prayers were requested died an edifying death; the other recovered and is now doing well. The third intention for himself and family has also been granted. He has been offered a position from the Head of an important Government Dept. which opens out a bright prospect before him. He asks that his little tribute of thankfulness to the Blessed Mother find a corner in the Ave Maria. He promises to send a small contribution and to become a life-subscriber. Have Messrs. Burns and Oates sent the amount due by them to him? Are there any special conditions to be fulfilled by life subscribers to the Ave Maria? :: X-2-h A.L.S. 4 pp. 12mo.
