His knowledge of these langu- ages makes Father Hurd the available and logical priest for th~ post and the fact that the bishop takes him from an important po- sition in the Chancery to direcL the care of souls is an evidence of the importance that His Excellen- cy attaches to parish work. Fath- e;· Hurd had la ely taken chargr of the position of auditor and wa.-. performing the exacting duties of the office with great success when the vacancy occurred. \ The new pastor. who has a wel: deserved reputation for scholar-· ship and piety, was born rn Den- 1 ver, Colo ..

Father Brucker, whose place Father Hurd will take, be- came ill and the condition of his health required that he resign his I charge.
