Johnston's Views.

On Wednesday after the- conference of the ball players and ministers, Rei Johnston was requested for au Inter tletv b) a Gazette representative regarding the affair, and said I am afraid that the statement of the Courier which tried to place the responsibility on the shoulders of one man did a great Injustice to several of the ministers From the comments I heard from a number of men, the impression nas conveyed that Mr Brodhead and Mr Holden were unwlll lug to be responsible for their part in the matter Now, this, I am sure, Is a mistake When the matter was men tioned Mr Brodhead at once offered his home for the meeting and express ed himself as being heart and soul in favor of the enforcement of the law Snrel) no one could question Hr Bold- den's attitude in the matter of Sunday observance, for we are indebted to some of the prominent members of St. Pauls church for the elimination of parades For while many of us entered our protests against the Sunday baud playing and parading hy a certain religious body, our protset seemed to have no weight whatever, but when this band Interfered with the services on Jefferson avenue, their Influence, wlilc-h nas dominant before, tvas aroused aud we are indebted to them for the pleasant relief Surely a company of people who would stop the band playing for a com of people from other lands, who did it as a part of their religious ob wrvance, would not allow a immber of Americans to deliberately violate the Ian especially nhen the games are plajed on grounds known as St Pauls ball grounds. This has brought much unkind comment to the church which It does not deserve. Therefore we believe Mr Holden ae earnest in this mat ter us aiij one of the ministers TWO BANDS Or MUSIC PRK8BNT On Saturday last one of the most elaborate celebrations of the )ear leld by the meuiKM, of ht Anns Ionian Catholic church of Bristol, in commemoration of Our of Mt Camel At ten a ni, solemn high mass was- celebrated nith Ret Father Veralll as celebrant, Uet Father Matera as deacon, and Ret Father Maths as sub-deacou Mass was sung b) the ihoir aud at jffertory, Mlllard's Aie Maria was uug by Mrs Morris Roche At 5 a publlt religious proces lou nas held, passing through the talutn section of tlie borough At he head of the procession with Au lion) Crampa as master of ccremon es, assisted l)v six students of the loly ijhost noiltlate at Coinnells, was anted the ciuclflx with two acolltes All tlie children of the thurth, dressed hi white, led the profession and were ollowed b) members of St. Anns Catholic Club, bodullt), St Aiithouj's Catholic Club Daughters St Ann, altar bo)s, pastor and So clety of Beiienceuza American and tallan flags were cairied in the pro- 'esslon A large statue of Our Lady af Mt Carmel was also carried ou the houltlers of the young niei of whom here were nearly 100 In line.
