place where the cornerstone was sus
p-nd*l. Father Kennedy turned to the
audiem e and leltvered a brief talk.express
ing his regret that the Bishop had l>- n
prevented from attending the service.
owing to the sudden indlsjio'it.oo f
the Bishop, who was to preside over the

there, he thought that the latter j ait a

would make u few remark* He Mat** I
that the object of the ceremony w
lay the corner stone, and to bless th*
edifice, calling down the benediction *f
Heaven upon the new undertaking, in
sisting that everything for *u de

Father Kennedy sail that It had >

impose the blessing of God on I*

power with which her divine foun l*-r t
vested her, his spouse on earth. Ii- m- n
tlone*l several blessings, such as that < (
churches, burial places, holy water. w*b‘-s
ar.d hells, explaining why tin > w r.

that in twenty-five years to m*\e on
