  1. His Eminence Cardinal Logue was walking along the streets of Armagh. He noticed a small boy vainly trying to reach the knocker or bell of a large building, “The Nursing Home.” The little fellow was so small he could not reach the knocker. His Eminence thinking he had an urgent message to deliver, slowly climbed the flight of stone steps to the building, and rang the bell for the boy. As soon as His Eminence did so, the little boy turned to him and said, “now man come one, and run for your life.”
