men from all parts Of the city Ia witness the

former the oil Of crism WAS used, and in the
latter the oil Of the sick. ..
The seven unctions signify the seven gifts

to all his worshiplers, that, at the sound of
the bell, come to pray before the sanctuary
with picty and fcrvor. The four unctio,is
signify the extent Of that charity which
ought to animate the hearts of priests and
people, charity which renders them sensible
to the interests of the Church and induce
them to avert spiritual storms, whence-oeyer
they may come, in the same way as the bells
are supposed 10 turn aside the fury OF the
