at Fairplay, S. C.
(Special to The Bulletin)
CLEMSON, S. C.,—Two years
ago when the Paulist Fathers ac
cepted St. Andrew’s parish in
Clemson, there was a chapel for
the cadets at Clemson College, and
a small church at Walhall, twenty
miles away. Among the members
of the parish were a group in the
rather inaccessible town of Fair-
play. They had the Faith, but no
church, so the Rev. James J. Dev-
ery, C. S. P., assistant pastor of
St. Andrews’, said Mass for them
in a private home. Since it was
crowded at every service, and dis
comfort hampered devotion, Fath
er Devery began to dream about
a church. Recently the dream be
gan to develop into a reality. The
Most Rev. Emmet M. Walsh D. D.,
Bishop of Charleston, has already
signed the contract for a church
at Fairplay which will cost about
$3,500, and upon which construc
tion is expected to begin shortly.

plication under present-day conditions, especially these
conditions as they apply in Georgia.

rules. Should an urgent cause for change arise or any
