These years have been full of earnest preaching of the Gospel of Christ and faithful pastoral work among the church members, and untir ing zeal for lost fouIs in the communi ty. We thank our Heavenly Father for his sermons and talks that have made the Bible sweeter to so many, for the words of encouragemenit to workers; the prayers at the bedside of the sick, and all his ministration so sincerely and faithfully given to all. And we would say: 'God Mess him,' In his new and Important field of lalbor, and make tolm as useful there as he has been here, where he will be remembered as one of the most energetic and persevering la borers in the Master's vineyard, with a olean record In every particular, be ing consistent In life, honest and fair In dealing, liberal and broad in views, evangelical in spirit, and practical in work. He will be missed In the city as well as In the church, for he was uni versally respected as a Christian gen tleman." President Is Chosen.

Dr. Dixon urged an Increase of open air preaching and a reaching out for the unconverted. Stereotyped sermon ising to chwehcongregat Ions he likened to squeezing milk, out of dried herring.

Bird i Flanaghan, Props., , 22$ Wyoming ave. Seranton, Pal PRIESTS lil CflMCE Coasaltors of the Scraitoa Diocese Will Meet in This City Today. ARB TO SELECT THREE NAMES That Is Step Preliminary to the Appoint eat of n Coadjutor to Bishop O'Uera for the Dlooose of Seranton. Today at the episcopal residence, on Wyoming avenue, the twelve Catholic priests known as the consultors of the Seranton diocese will meet and, select three names to recommend to Pope Leo Xl'U for the selection of a coadju tor to assist Rt. Rev. Bishop o'lilara in the administration of affairs In this diocese. According to the formula that U necessary In the appointment of a coadjutor It is not possible that one will tie named for about two months. Bishop o'llura is approaching bis eightieth year, und the arduous duties of his exalted olllce are at times a se vere and dangerous strain on a consti tution naturally rugged, but now be ginning to feel the weight of years. . Attacks of Illness within the past two years have ulso somewhat weak ened his system and led him to feel that an assistant Is necessary to light en the duties placed upon him that the Interests of the churches under his charge may not suffer. Most Prohuhlc Coadjutor. Very Rev. John Flnnen, pastor of St. John's parish of Pittston, who Is vicar general of the diocese. Is regarded us the one upon whom the worthy honor will fall. The coadjutor has the full powers of a bishop, but is subservient to the bishop. The holy father appoints the coadju tor)'. Six names will be presented to the sovereign pontiff, three by Arch bishop Patrick John Ryan, of Philadel phia, and three by the twelve consul tors of this diocese. The archbishop is not guided nor Induced by any advice or suggestion In the nomination of three men; the same rule holds good In regard to the three selected by the consultors. They meet together and unanimously agree on three to send. The six names are sent to Rome and considered by the pope. Who the Consultors Are. It Is a rule among the Catholic clergy that when the pastor of a parish has cleared all the church property from dubt, he becomes an immoveable rector, that means, he cannot be changed from the charge of that par ish during his life. The twelve In the Seranton diocese are: Rev. N. J. Mc Manus, of Providence; Rev. John Loughran, of Mlnooka; Rev. John J. Doherty, of Honcsdalp; Rev. Gerald MoMurray, of Dunmore; Rev. P. F. Broderlck, of Susquehanna; Rev. Charles Kelley, of Towanda; Rev. R. A. McAmdrew, of Wllkes-Barre; Rev. Peter Nagle, of Wllkes-Barre; Rev. Thomas Garvey, of Williamsport; Rev. Father Keeper, of 'Williamsport; Rev. John Comlskey, of Hazleton, and Very Rev. John Flnnen, of PIMston. BEASCN HAS RETURNED. Mike Rnstosky, of the Ridge, Has Re covered Ills Senses.
