Goderich, Ont.., July 3, 1917.
DRAM SON,—Whit. te occasion for
the semi -centennial celebration of the
toweling of this great Dominion fell
ou a /Sunday and the rain in about

recognized so the holiday and the sun
shone in all ita radiance and glory.
The occasion war a decided wooers
here, and according to the newspaper
despatches war also such elsewhere
from coast to coast.

the holiday at different places, but. in
(,oderich everything passed off with-
out a hitch. I could not attempt to
WI you all that occurred—it would
take • wagonload of paper to bold it.
The morning parade was good.
Barney Thompson and hie fire depart-
ment were on hand and presented •

tine to tree the elaborately decorated
automobiles and bicycles ; they were
splendid. The horse races were good
and caused no little excitement among.

ly the leading feature was the "baby

were, too. It was a pleasure to glance
into their pleasantfaces, faces yet un-
marked with care. Some day, Son,

I forgot to tell you about the big

were there as large as life. Believe
me, Son, there wet a some pretty girls

one who is up and doing and whose

You were never tuuch for the girls,
Son, were you ? You were always
something like a chap I am now
thinking of and who resides on

hut a "bill of expense.'
You said something, Son, in that
last letter when you referred to the
Notional Shipbuilding Company as a
"boon" to Goderich. That company is
employing a large number of good
men, men with mechanical knowledge,
an it would do you good to see the
excellent work which they are turn-

you on every tilde and I think I can

This beautiful edifice, erected • years ago under thealministta-
Lion of Rev. Father MrCormiek. will long remain a utonutnent to the
energy and devotion of the pastor who "silver jubilee" was cele-
brated last week.
Cormick war celebrant, with Rev.
Father Hanlon, of London, as deacon,
and Rev. Father Harding, of tat.
-Peter'.. Seminary, sub -deacon. There
were present also in the sanctuary
Very Rev. Father O'Connor, vicar -

The choir. under the able direction
of Miss I.irtie Martin, sang Peter's
Mase in a manner that was worthy of
thei occasion, and a beautiful and ap-
propriate hymn, Lemhilotte'. "0 quam
dilicta," was very well rendered at the
offertory.
The vicar -general preached the ser-
mon. In words that compelled con•
viction he reviewed the priesthood
from its institution by Christ up to
the present day, and touching briefly
upon the storms by which the church
bad been assailed through the cen-
turies be declared th*t it could never
bave weathered the mildest of these
were it not of divine origin.
After the service a delegation from
e parish approached the altar just as
t e celebrant and his two sseietante
re descending the altar steps and
the following addre.e, accompanied by
a purse of over =1,0X10, was read :
The Address.
DRAR FATHER MorloRMIcK,—
Be kind enough to listen for a
moment to a few brief words which
we your devoted children in Christ
would love to speak to you on this
biasedd and happy occasion, the
twenty-fifth anniversary of your or-
dination, to the holy priesthood.
Twenty-five years *worthy priest.
of God and of God's holy church !
What pen ran tell, what words ran
express the story that is written in
heaven of those twenty-flve years of
devoted service to the more. of
Christ, the salvation of souls, the
glory of God and the edvanoemebt
of God's spiritual kingdom on earth?
Alas, we are incapable of even at-
tempting to measure or appreciate
the immensity of the thought con-
tained in those few pregnant and
significant. words — "Twenty-flve
years a worthy primer of God."
The holy sacriflce of the mase
which you daily offered up through-
out a quarter of a century—the In-
numerable sacraments administered
--the counties* *roils which your
sacred ministry hassewed—theworks
of mercy both spiritual and corporal
which you have done, and which in
spite of your modesty ere known G.
us all --what poor words of ours
could do pistil -0 to such a theme
when God alone is capable of appre-
ciating Its immensity ? Praise be to
God, is ail we ran a* in view of the
suhifmity of your holy ministry, ac.
cotnperied by w heartfelt prayer
that your reward, dear father, may
be proportionately greet in heaven.
Seventeen yeas have yon hese
pastor of the parish of Ashfield, and
as we emit • r.-iroapeetive glance
grand church of ours, of which we
are justly proud, was reared to the
glo.y of God under your administra-
tion ; the sitters and their convent
owe their inetallation to your inter-
est in the children of the parish ; a
dozen priests and several religious
of this parish owe their vocation un-
der God to your wise direction and
good example.
But why should we embarrass your
well-known humility and modesty
by citing your achievements and
singing your praises In your pre.-
ence ? We know how you dislike
publicity, so we will not detain you
longer. There is just one other fea-
ture which goes to make up your
character, dear father, and which
has not escaped our scrutiny during
these seventeen years. 1t is your
absolute lack of anything that re-
sembles the lust for gold. In fact,
there is • general suspicion that our
parish is in your debt financially as
well as morally and spiritually.
Struggling at one time with grave
financial difffcultiea, it is a fact that
is general) conceded that when
parish funds were nowhere to be
found, and when obligations had to
he met, you in your charity put your
hand into your own private purse
and paid the bills and neither asked
nor received reimbursement. Allcw
us. therefore, dear father, to make
some small measure of restitution.
Please accept this purse as a small
token of our esteem tor you and as $
tangible expre. Ion of our joy and
felicitation on this the happy occa-
sion of your silver jubilee in the
holy priesthood of the Catholic
church,
"Ad niultos annus," dear Father
McCormick, ad mutton annos in the
parish of Ashfield, where you are
loved and revered by • devoted and
grateful people.
The Reply.
Father McCormick found it difficult
to reply to 1 panegyric which hie
characteristic humility placed far be-
yond hie deserter He attributed to
the help and encouragement of hie
congregation what they were pleased
to call "eloquent and monumental
testimonial. of (hie own) zeal, piety
and ability." His gratitude to the
people of Aehfleld for their generous
co-operation with him in all he ever
undertook in their midst, to the vicar -
general, the pries. and other visitor@
who honored the oecaaion by their
pretence, and to God for the good
health and amietance he always re-
ceived for carrying nn his priestly
work, was ezprrsseed with a flow of
enthusiasm and earnestness that gave
more eloquence to his unpremeditated
words than a carefully studied reply
could poesihly hwy. had.
The choir coneluded the eer•emony
with the "Te D.um" and the clergy
repaired to the perish hall, where •
aumptumis banquet wa..erved h the
ladles of the perish. Mueh credit is
due to Mr*. 0. O'Reilly, whole good
taste and (-apatite executive made this
portion of the day's program all that
could be desired.
Nor did the program conclude here.
rho Hinge), ides Dramatic Club, which
wait organised under the patronage of
Father Metormiek, presented • play
in the evening entitled "For the Red,
White and Blue." The young eters
played before • larger audience then
they lied ever before faced, and their
efforts were rewarded by hearty and
repeated applause. Vocal numbers
and music were interspersed between
the a^te, all of which, and especially
Mr. McOill's contributions, were very
well received. The National Anthem,
which concluded the program, might
well be said to have marked the "end
of a perfect day," and the general im-
pression is that those who are spared
to participate in Father McCormick's
golden jubilee will hay. the vision of
this one still fresh in memory.
