"What amounts to a new apostate, just now engaging attention, is the work
of Mr. Wessling, a Jesuit who lost his sight in a chemical explosion about
5 years ago. He has finished his theology with uncommon success, and in
the disappointment of not receiving Holy Orders was settling down to what
looked like a a rather purposeless existence, when Providence introduced
to him a few non-Catholics who were unsettled about their religious
states.
"His success in dealing with such cases has been extraordinary. ... A plan
of procedure in the instruction of converts has been inaugurated at St.
Francis Xavier's Church ...
"The course will consist of a set series of instructions to be given on
Monday and Thursday at 8:15 p.m."
