(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.

XIX. Representatives of book companies or agents shall not be interviewed by teachers during the school hours. XX. The focal point of all Christian teaching, the very core of the whole system of Catholic education, is the religious class. ^ With it no other course in the curriculum can com pare in importance. We should strive for a perfect knowledge of the Faith, and a thorough training in its ap plication under present-day conditions, especially these conditions as they apply in Georgia. XXI. The Bishop requests that there be no deviation from these rules. Should an urgent cause for change arise or any doubt as to the meaning of any of these regulations, the difficulty must be referred to the Diocesan Superintend ent. XXII.
