Junior gilds- of ,St. James' 'Sep- arate ;School, in white and blue gowns, ;Sodalists in flowing blue capes and caps to rmatcJh and the little girls who formed the cross were in pink dresses with white veils, foamed a iprocession and marched into the 'arena where they formed the living rosary. They were followed' by the Bish- op, Most Rev. John C. Cody, Fa- ther 'Peyton and visiting clergy who proceeded to the raised alt- ar platform for the services. Opening the services with the National Anthem, a welcoming address by ,Rev. E. P. Weber was extended to His Excellency, Bishop 'Cody, Father Peyton and the visiting clergy, and then in- troduced (Mayor McMaster. In his remarks Mayor Mc- Master extended official greet- ings from the Town Connell and ;the people of •Seadf'ortih. Following the ihymn, 'Mother Dearest Mother Fairest," 'Rally Chairman, P. ID. McConnell, ex- tended a sincere welcome to each and everyone present and 'a special welcome to Father Pey- ton on his return to this Dart of the 'diocese of London. Recitation of the five de- cades of the rosary was led by five families of the' district: Mr. and Mrs. 1C. ;Malone, 'Sea:forth; Mr. and Mrs. O. Sinnott, ;St. Brigid's, Logan and !Mitchell; Mr. and Mrs. P. Ryan, ISt. Pat- rick's, Dublin; Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Walsh, St. ;Columban, St. Co- luniban and Mr. and Mrs. Mac LeBeau, 1St. Joseph's, 'Clinton. Most Rev. John C. Cody, Bish- op of London, spoke' briefly stres- sing family prayer in the home. "From the first moment to the Past •moment our 'duty never changes to God," he said. "Every moment of our exist- ence consists of prayer steady prayer." Recalling the story of David and Goliath, Bish- op Cody said, "Five decades of the rosary are like a 'sling shot' and will find its mark as ;Catho- lics the world over pray for the whole human family, love, one for the other, by prayer ;with the other, will bring one fold united to God." He then introduced Fr. Peyton. Father Peyton in addressing the audience paid tribute to the diocese of London where the Family Rosary 'Crusade began and over the intervening years has been imitated throughout the world. London diocese has been :the leader. ' The great power of prayer, the rosary, lies in. the first phrase of the first prayer, "I believe in God the Father Al- mighty" he said. Phrase by Father Peyton pointed out the meaning of prayers? The snares and traps •of the world that attempt to force men and women to betray eaoh other and their families were overcome rby the power of the rosary, 'which was "like a sword into the heart and soul." He took his own life as an il- lustration. His sister had given her life to make himself and his brother priests, while his mother had wished ran illness on her- self instead of him so that his studies could proceed, Father Peyton suffered Brom tuberculo- sis before his ordination. "The Virgin Mary", he said, "has powers equal to those of God, but while 'God wills, 'Mary prays and so ;directs 'God's will." The hymn "Queen of the Family Rosary," was followed by Solemn Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, with .cele- brant the Rev. Bather Gleason, ;G'oderich; Deacon the Rev. Fath- er Poisson, St. Joseph; and suh- deacon the Rev.• Fater Toth, Logan; censer ;bearer The Rev. Father Monaghan, .St. Boniface, Zurich.

Inquest Held In Carlin Death Following is the verdict of the jury at the inquest held in Sea - forth town hall Tuesday naorn- hsg; We, the coroner's'j•u•ry inves- tigating the death of Joseph (Carlin, find :that the 'died immed- iately from injuries when struck by a car driven by James Welsh, IROAF, 'Clinton, about 2 a.m., June 5, ton No. 8 Highway, bet- ween St. •Columtban and ,Sea - for*. Wo find that the deceased was kneeling on the highway, which was wet with fog when struck. We attribute no blame to the driver ;for the accident, feeling that he could nut avoid it, but we do censure him and his passenger for not examining the body im- mediately'after, 'before leaving the scene to call help, ,and leav- ing the body and scene unatten- ded for almost -one 'hour. First aid would not have helped in this case but usually would, and there was the risk of a further accident. The unusual and dangerous position of the 'deceased on the highway before 'being struck, may well have been 'due to his being somewhat .under the influ- ence of liquor obtained aeoord- ing to the evi'denee at at least one illegal source earlier that night. Dr. 'MclMaster presided oven the inquest conducted by 'Crown Attornrey IH. Glenn Hays, of Goderich.
