He alleges that only irom Cork and Connaught came men of ch sterling qualities as to meet with + diffiquitics that the building of the spective St. Philip Neri's presented the struggling pioneer people; that their leader im the cause, a stone mason d. a- Connaught man, to be sure, vol- rily gave of his services and sub- ¢, the former gratis, doing the ¢ work of completing this church, which he never received a penny; he solicited the bishop of the dio to consecrate the church; and that the bishop arrived, in answer to the summons to consecrate the church, he philanthropic stopemason handed ver the key of the debt-free church.

We do not think it fair that one man should get credit for doing so much, while the ashes of the real heroes, and I may add | heroines, lic mouldering in the church's {quaint old. city of the dead, overlooking | Bellamy's waters. More generosity or nindedness would indeed be hard to find than that shown by the parish- ioners of Kitley of that day. Coming from all parts of the Green Isle, and of no kith or kin to other, knowing little of Canadian farming, or indeed Cana dian work of any kind, it was doubly hard to accomplish the work they had undertaken This very fact makes { "Grumbler's" one-sided statement un { kind.

The Kitleyites found, after they had coatributed from their land, the tall oaks and pings, the grey rocks, the sand money also for the mechanics. The ur committeemen, John McCaul, Belfast | wan; James Connors, from exford ; Patrick McNamee and Patrick McCitin, from Tyrone, gave a loan of $400 each. Small donations from the already gen- erous _ parishioners made S400 'more, 000 in all. Labor was chéap. Richard Maloney, the stonemason *Grumbler™ fauds so loudly, gave assistance on the church, though not gratis, for the com- mittee raised sufficient funds for < each, that théi- families might be supported. That Maloney did his work well the old church still evidences, and he was a good and erous man. A lime kiln was kept busy burning lime on Feeny's hill, and the farmers took turns in carrying the hod and stone to supply the mmsons, - Bach man of them per- formed nobly his part, Among those who suffered privations and weary journeys through long, cold Canadian winters was the pioneer priest of Kitley. This being a large parish, the people scattered far and wide, the toads' unfit for travel, the country wild, and as yet not quite rid of wild animaly, that the priest's task of visiting the sick and dying was, as tersely put, "no dream." But to the true hero and benefactor of Bellamys church, with 'his splendid igen- erous-hearted wife, was Jom McCaul, of Trish Corners. Their house stood within sonnd of 'the mallet and hammer. From the first movement of workmen about the building site her frugal board de on Bellamy's hill, and alley gtefin} hauled to their distant homes to labor on the church, without money or price. And there are those who. still are loud in their praise of Mrs. McCaul's dinpers for the church bees. One hot August, evening the tea cannister showed itself nearly empty. It was a dire announce- ment on the eve of a dinner for hungry men. But the event must have occurred to prove the physical and mental ability of this true daughter of Erin.

An altar Ind been erected, where thie Prescott priest min- isteresl to the people every fourth or fifth Sunday, while yet there was neither wooden floor, nor pews, nor. windows, It was four years before the diocese of Kingston could spare to Kitley a resis dent priest. After this the work of im- provement went on gradually. In the course of years Mr. and Mrs! McCaul died, and having no children, the bulk of their earnings, besides their [little stock and farm, were 1éft to the church. The $1,600 1daned by the four commit- tee then was never repaid, for when each was nearing the end he forgave the #hurch the debt, There are so few records made of the above details as to make one think that Alexander Pope was very canny in some lines in his moral essays, where he says, He who builds a church to God, and not to fame, : Will fiever nrark the marble with his name.
