The  church  was  never  better  attended,
and  the  opposition  keeps  up  an  excite-
ment. But  I'm  sorry  to  say  there's
much  to  be  done,  especially  as  there
is  only  one  to  do  it,  and  that's  me.
There  is  no  end  to  the  parish,  and
some  of  the  people  won't  know  the
only  way  to  be  saved,  which  is  by

once  every  Sunday.  Last  Sunday  I

understand  at  all,  and  think  must  be

the  R.  C.  Church  is  the  true  apos-
tolic. The  Bishop  says  it's  no  such
thing,  but  neither  more  nor  less  than
**  the  man  of  sin"  and  there  I  agree
with  him.  Hdavysides  has  got  some
queer  notions,  as  you  see  above,  touch-
