an hour at q time for fourteen years, died in

could have no knowledge that this was accord

never shine as bright after that day. Thatthi

threw q suitable gloom over the sanctuary.
Long festoons of black drapery were also hung
from all the cross beams of the chancel and
roof. The latter was vested in q plain black
frontal, the nails and crown Of thorns being
embroidered in white in the centre. The altar
cross. the altar lights. flower vases, tapersticks
and branches were all removed from the altar
