ASCENSION DAr.-Yesterday the feast Of
the Ascension, instituted In commemoraton
Of the ascension of Jesus Christ into Heaven,
forty days after His resurrection, was cele-
bratcd by the Catholics as a holiday Of obli-
CATION, and the services In all their churches
were the same as on Sunday.
The spirit Of this festival Is expressed In
the collect, read In the mass, and Is the
prayer of the universal church-Grant, We
beseech thee, o Almighty God, that we, who
believe that thy only Son, our Redeemer, as
cended this day into Heaven, may also have
our hearts always fixed on heavenly things.
The lesson is from Acts, chapter /, Isl to
| the 18th verse, briefly narratlng the event
commemorated on this festival, and the Cos
pei read Is from Mark, 10th chapter, 18th to
| Goth verses.
The pastors of the different Catholic
/ churches yesterday In their sermons incul-
Gated the lesson Of following the example OF
Jesus Christ in all things, who having as
cended into Heaven Is seated at the right
hand OF His Father, continually making In
| tcrcession for all, and invites the faithful to
the place He has merited and prepared for
them the reward of following Ills example.
But although there be many mansions In
Heaven, yet there is only one way to go
thither. Our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ arrived there only by the way Of suf-
ferings--tho Kings highway Of the cross
| the royal road to eternal peace; and upon ne
other condition can His disciples hope to
share the glory Of everlasting happiness.
The next great festival, the Feast OF Pen
tacost, will fall on Sunday, the 10th instant,
concentrating the descent Of the Holy
Ghost, and the beginning Of the Christian
Church.

nccted with ST. Patrick's parish made their
