THE LAMB and the WOLF
A Lamb pursued by a Wolf took
refuge in a temple. Upon this the
Wolf called out to him, and said that
the priest would slay him if he caught
him. "Be it so," said the Lamb, "it is
better to be sacrificed to God than to
be devoured by you.

The retiring President, Mr. McEniry, then
made the announcement that business of import-
ance requiring his presence in New York would
necessitate his withdrawal from active member-
ship in the society for some time. Much regret
was evinced by the members as Mr. McEniry was
very popular, and one of the society's oldest and
most energetic members.
The report of Treasurer Miss McSorley was
read, showing the society to be in a healthy fin-
ancial condition.
The Society meets every Sunday evening at 8
o’clock, in Philopatrian Hall, where books and
instruction are given free to all desirous of learn¬
ing the Irish language,
Another Irish class has been organized in Pila-
delphia, at 243 South 8th St., named the A O H.
Class, with Mr. P. McFadden President, and F.
O’Kane Secretary.
