Winters, of the diocese of Hartford, Conn., and many others who have become prominent in the ranks of the clergy.

This wide field afforded full scope for his activity, and the five years spent on this Mission were years of ardent labor and of many privations. Labor and privation, how- ever, were but joy to him, and his cheerful spirit of self-sacrifice bound the heart of his people to him with chains of love. He was very successful in organizing congregations in the principal towns of this district. Besides erecting the neat and substantial church of St. Paul's at Spartanburg, and the beautiful church of the Sacred Heart, at Abbeville, S. C., he completed the church of St. Joseph, at Anderson, erected by his predecessor, the Rev. J. J. Woolahan. He also purchased a valuable lot on Washington street, Greenville, S.
