Holyrood's Christmas Concert.
The pupils of the High School, under the training and management of Miss Nellie Flynn, organist of the church choir, presented a very pleasant concert in the Star Hall to their patrons on St. Stephen's night.  For some weeks past the talented trainer and her juvenile troupe were quite busy preparing the Christmas concert, and the result of their work deserved the well-merited applause it received from the large and appreciative audience who greeted the appearance and the efforts of the youthful performers.

Excepting one character alone it was exclusively a children's entertainment, and included in its characters tiny tots to the senior pupils of the school.  The graceful marching and dancing, the singing, acting and pronunciation and the artistic make-up of the various characters elicited the congratulations of the audience and reflected great credit upon the teacher, Miss Flynn, who must have laboured hard to bring her young charges to such a high standard of excellence.

Constable Grouchy aided in the preparation in the drilling and marching of the young soldiers; and with his own song, and with the drilling, marching and singing of his squad of little soldiers of the King added considerable interest to the affair and appealed to the patriotic sentiment of the audience, purposing to make any young man present don the khaki and go fight for his King and Country.

Rev. Father Finn was present and seemed to enjoy the performance well.  Misses O'Neill, Bennett, Kennedy and Joy had provided an abundance of eatables and served teas to the younger folk who had their appetites sharpened by the dance and spent a very happy and pleasant night.  The financial results were handsome and helped to greatly augment the church funds.

Nfldr. Wins Degree.
A cablegram received in town yesterday announced that another Newfoundland boy had distinguished himself at McGill University, Montreal, in the person of George Bond Cross, son of the late John Cross, of Trinity, and Mrs. Mary Christian, having passed with honours and taking the degree of M.D.

Dr. Cross, although offered a lucrative position in the West, had decided to join the Canadian R.A.M.C. and shortly proceeds across the water. We congratulate the young Doctor on his success.

On Friday evening April 5^th, the Ladies Aid of the Methodist Church held a social in the Temperance Hall.  At the beginning of the evening a programme consisting of singing, recitations and dialogues were gone through which we believe was enjoyed by all.  When this came to an end syrup and cake was passed around by the ladies and then came another exciting part, the sale of pies provided by the younger ladies.  The object of this social, as was made clear by our President Miss Tryphenia Batstone in a short address given by her was to raise money for patriotic purposes and we felt at the close when we found that the proceeds amounted to $25 that our efforts had not been in vain.

A Welcome Visitor.
Capt. Walter Kennedy of Holyrood who has been attached to the Royal Naval Services for the last two years, was in town yesterday on a brief visit, and returned home by the evening's train. Capt. Kennedy came in by Saturday's express to Holyrood to spend a couple of days with his family, and leaves again this week for duties overseas. Capt. "Walter" is in the pink of condition, and the strenuous work in which he is engaged apparently only adds to his "youth". That he will be spared to be in it at the close of the war with victory is the wish of his hosts of friends throughout the Dominion.

July 16, 1918 (Tuesday)

Holyrood Church Burnt to Ground.
Last evening at 7.30 Inspector General Hutchings received the following message from Constable Grouchy at Holyrood - "R.C. Church burning to ground; impossible to save it. Standing by other property."

A subsequent message from Const. Grouchy read - "R.C. Church and contents destroyed. Surrounding property safe. Fire under control."

No particulars as to the origin of the fire have been received. The Holy Cross Church at Holyrood was begun some 24 years ago, under Rev. Dr. Murphy as P.P., and took a number of years to complete, at a cost of some $25,000, apart from the religious furnishings. It was by far the finest piece of architecture in the district of Harbor Main, and an ornament to the whole of Conception Bay. It was beautifully furnished inside in oak and pine, and no doubt when the latter ignited it was impossible with the meager apparatus at hand to save the sacred building. All will unite in sympathy with Rev. W.P. Finn, P.P., who was in the city until 6 o'clock yesterday evening, and his parishioners, on the great loss sustained. We understand there was about $4000 insurance on the building.

Latest from the Holyrood Fire.
From a letter received in the city this morning from a gentleman in Holyrood we find that the fire was first discovered at five minutes past five, and it is rumoured that it was caused by a boy who greased the bell with a candle, who in doing so may have been careless, with the known result. Others believe that sparks from a train which passed at 2.30 ignited the church, but this does not seem possible. Unfortunately the Blessed Sacrament was not saved, although heroic attempts by 16 soldiers led by Sergt. Morrissey, who were the first on the scene, were made to force the door of the sanctuary where it was kept. Only a few articles, such as vases, candles, etc. were saved.

The house of Moses Lewis, which was near the church, was several times endangered, and volunteers with water buckets were continually on guard, and we are pleased to state that beyond a few windows being broken, the house sustained no damage. Our informant states that the air for hundreds of yards around was filled with sparks and flying particles of burning wood, making it extremely dangerous to be near the conflagration.

Needless to say the people of Holyrood feel very badly over the disaster, but we are sure that such indefatigable workers will not rest long before a new church is erected on the site of the one destroyed.

Reply, Officers and Members of the Ladies' Aid Society:
Please accept my sincere thanks for your kind words and appreciation for my services during my three years here. I prize and appreciate very much your gift, which will always bring back many pleasant recollections of my work among you here in Victoria. It was with a feeling of great responsibility that I began my work with you, but finding you ever ready and willing to respond, whenever called upon, has considerably helped towards making our work a success. I trust that in the future as you go forward in the Master's service, that your efforts will be abundantly blessed, and that you will achieve still greater results.

In bidding you farewell, I pray that God's presence will remain with you, and guide you in all your undertakings. Believe me, yours most sincerely,

At the Institute Hospital.

Comment has been made in some circles as to the number of deaths occurring at the Grenfell Hall hospital...  The Institute has proved a veritable Godsend in the present instance, as no other place was available for the treatment of sufferers when the first outbreak of "flu" occurred.  It may be of interest to know that in six hours after the taking over of the building on the outbreak of the disease, the Grenfell Hall had been cleaned up and converted into a ward with 22 beds, and 12 patients under treatment.

HOLYROOD WELCOMES HEROES HOME.

The soldier boys of Holyrood were accorded a big welcome home on the day of their arrival here.  The little town was en fete with bunting and the cannon thundered forth its roars of welcome as the train approached the station.  Engineer Candow, too, from the long and oft-repeated tooting of his horn gave us to understand that he was pulling something more than the common carrier along.  These demonstrations of welcome had attracted a great number of people at the station to acclaim the returning heroes.

Miss Flynn, the Secretary of the Women's Patriotic Association, and the young ladies of the Patriotic Committee organized an evening party and banqueted the returned soldiers and sailors, their relatives, and a large number of their friends and well-wishers, and all were seated at two tables erected lengthwise in the Hall.  Rev. W.P. Finn presided at the soldiers' table.  As regards quantity, quality and variety the table appointments left little to be desired, and all partook of a hearty meal, the soldiers in the meantime entertaining with some interesting war stories.  When supper had been finished the assembly was called to order and patriotic speeches, expressions of welcome, congratulations and thankfulness to the soldiers were made by the Chairman, Rev. Father Finn, and Mr. R. Dwyer, J.P., to which Lc-Corpl. J. Crawley neatly replied on behalf of his comrades-in-arms - Messrs. J. Flood, R. Walsh, Edward Berso [sic], Edward Maloney and John Flynn. ... Quite a large number of Holyrood boys felt the call to duty and enlisted in the service of their King and country, and went overseas...   We have welcomed some back; we will welcome others who are still absent at duty's call...  But alas! there are nine we shall never welcome back.  They have made the Supreme Sacrifice and are now sleeping peacefully overseas and under the shell-torn sods of France and Belgium. -   Com.  Holyrood, Feb. 20, 1919.

Holiday Doings, Etc, at Trinity. ...

The "Frank R. Forsey" has taken over 5000 quintals of fish, and has sailed for a European port.  The "General Maude" is discharging salt, and after loading 4000 quintals of fish will follow the "Frank R. Forsey".  This salt was consigned to, and the fish was shipped by Messrs. Archibald Christian & Co., who to-day, are our largest fish buyers in the Bight.  It is many years ago since fish was shipped from Trinity to a foreign market at this time of year.  The catching, buying, making, and shipping of these cargoes have given profitable employment to several of our men, and we sincerely hope the venture may be in every respects successful to Mr. Christian, and lead on to still greater things in future.. ...

Torbay Church and Presbytery.

Now that milder weather has set in the people of Torbay are rushing work on the new Church and Presbytery at that place.  The lumber for the structure is being sawn at Father O’Callaghan’s mill at Outer Cove.  The old Presbytery was erected by Fr. Troy in 1872.  Mr. Patrick Brennan is superintending the new erections.  The church building is a miniature of the R.C. Cathedral, with the exception of the two towers.  The plans were drawn by architect C. [G.?] McCarthy. After Easter the ladies of Torbay parish will hold a sale of work to help defray expenses.

Dr. Dwyer Arrives.

Doctor T.R. Dwyer, son of Mr. R. Dwyer, J.P., Principal of the High School at Holyrood, and brother of Rev. Fr. Dwyer, P.P., Bonavista, arrived in the city by the last Rosalind.  Doctor Dwyer during the world war gave 2 ½ years’ service with the Canadian branch of the R.A.M.C. overseas, and for 14 months was senior medical officer in the transport service in the submarine area.  The doctor was demobilized in October last, and has since taken a post graduate course in the New York Post Graduate Medical School and Hospital and in the New York lying-in hospital.  Dr. Dwyer graduated at Dalhousie University, and afterwards spent a year in Canadian Hospital work.  He was here on a brief visit in 1917.  After spending a short holiday at Holyrood, Doctor Dwyer will likely take up practice here.

A dwelling house advertised for sale in Trinity, is not a common thing these days, but there is, I find, a notice to this effect in the window of the house on the old Tavernor property in Fisher's Cove. The old Tavernor house disappeared years ago, and the property passed into the hands of Mr. Joseph Crocker, who built the house now offered for sale. The property was bought from Mr. James Crocker, by Mr. Archibald Christian, the present owner. Fifty years ago the garden of this property was one of the most productive in trinity. It is an ideal spot for a well proportioned house. ...
