- (continued from previous page)aside under some books, and never thought of it again, but went home and ate his dinner.During the night the priest died in his sleep, and still the paper lay in the library. When he died, he would be let into Heaven until he would burn the paper. He came back to the library night after night, but still he could not find the paper. One night he found the paper, and he burnt it in the fire of the house, in which he lived. The maid was in the kitchen, and when she saw the dead priest, she fainted. Next day, she told the priest who was living in the house and he read Mass for the repose of his soul.(Annie Carroll, Fairfield)
