FR. BLAIR HONORED.—Ou Monday
afternoon "all lust., Rev. John Blair
left Stratford for Winnipeg, to assume
his new responsible office there. Rev.
Fr. Blair, whose home is in Stratford
and who has a lost of friends here and
throughout Western Ontario, has been
appointed Vicar General of the new
Catholic arch -diocese of Winnipeg.
O01y 7 years ago Father Blair was or:
deiced, It is not often that an honor of
this kind is conferred' on so young a man,
This isa matter of personal choice, as
His Grace Archbishop Senott, who was
recently consecrated at Ottawa, request-
ed Bishop Fallon to allow him to take
Father Blair out of London Diocese
with him. Many valuable gifts have
been bestowed on Fr. Blair since his ap
pointment was made known. His form-
er parishioners in Wingham, Brussels
and Walkerville gave him substantial
testimony of the position, of love •and
esteem held among them. His brother
priests in the diocese presented him with
a beautiful address and a purse of $400
in gold. As Vicar -General of Winnipeg,
Father Blair will hold a very responsible
position, but his past successes obliter-
ate all foreboding of failure, He enters
into his new duties at once, but Arch-
bishop Seuott will not go to Winnipeg•
for a few weeks yet;

Van, he with other missionaries was
taken to Beirut and because their was a
British consul there heob'alned a British
passport. This may prevent his release,
although he is American born and was
sent to the country by the American
Board ot Foreign Missions. He went
out two years ago before the commence-
ment of the world war, taking his wife
and family and all his household effects.
Nearly all of the latter were lost on the
trip, only a piano arriving at Harpoot,
where he went as professor of tlteolagy.
Information gathered by the American
Board of Foreign Missions states that no
boats have been allowed to enter the
harbor at Beirut for many months.
