Daniel was 1 eyed by his parishioners and also those outside of the church J »«rvice here in which he had done so much good for the community in general had made the ties so binding that many Protestants as well as the members of the Catholic church made , every possible effort to have the Bishop rescind his order and permit the popular pastor to remain here, only to meet with failure. ; y Rev.
