— Calamities and Dissensions in St. Patrick’s Congregation at Pana, Ill., Move Father Weigand to Charge That Stinginess of Parish Has In- curred the Wrath of God: — From a Staff Corre«pondent of the Sunday Poést-Dis patch, PANA, Ill., May 12.—A chureh cursed by God because of its penuriousness is St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church, Father Weigand. Almost everything dire except pestilence has either af- fected the church or its parishioners during the last 10 or 15 years. The rec- tor believes God is displeased at the penuriousness—stinginess, if you please— of the church, and believes a curse to teach contrition is upon the little edi- fice and its parish. Tornadoes have blown down thé stee- ple, wrecked the chimney, trees. The roof is almost as full of holes as a collander. The chureh has been flooded. The boilers have explod- ed. Any number of dire things have happened not only to the chureh but to the parishioners. An ill fate seems to pursue the members of the little chureh, The list of those who met sud- Pana, Il., accorditig to the rector, Rev. | ** den death ts appalling. in words what had been bers.
