SPIRIT OF LOVE: Pentecost, which will be observed on Sl1l1day next, recalls the return 9f Christ to the Father. IIe now sends .down his spiri,t, the Spirit of Love. We need his help as never before, but, we must ask for it; we must beg the Spirit to come, we must open our hearts to Him.

" Rev. PatrickJ. O'Neill, super­ intendent of Diocesa,n Schools, has announced that at this mo­ ment it seems very likely that the pupils of Prevost High School, Fall River, who have been forced to vacate the Chris­ tian Brothers educational insti­ tution on Eastern Ave. because of Monday night's fire, will fin­ ish their year's classes at Bishop Connolly High School. Rev. Charles J. Dunn, S.J.,

rector at Bishop Connolly High,

offered the facilities of the new

boys high school as soon as he was informed of the disaster that struck the Eastern Ave. institution.
