  1. (continued from previous page)
    At 12 o'clock the priest came out on the altar and asked for somebody who would serve his Mass. One of the priests in the church went up & served it.
    When Mass was over, the priest who celebrated told the server that while on earth, he was paid for Masses which he neglected to say. He still had sixty others to say, he said. The priest who served promised to say those Masses & the ghost was seen no more.
