The long-prOmised mission OF the great and good
order-Redemptorlst Fathers-at the Church Of st.
Charles Borromeo, Sidney place, Brooklyn, was
commenced yesterday. The edifce was tnronged to
at the principal service. extra seats being
furnished in the aisles without afordng sufficient
sittngs for the people who were assembled to hear
the words OF the Redemptorsts grand high
mass was celebrated there being, besides the cele
brant, Father Gross, three others, deacon, SUBJ
deacon and master Of ceremonies, in the sanctuary
The choir lent its harmonious spirit TO accord with
the devotional inspirations of tue occasion. After
the Gospel The Rev. Father Wayrich aScended the
pulpit and, reading the usual announcements pro-
ceeded to inform tue congregation that mass would
be celebrated each morning during the week at i've
O'Clock. Confessions will be heard until six O'Clock,
IN order to enable those who have business attend
TO 10 be OH early. Last mass VIII be at nihe O'Clock
each day, and Instructions IN the evening The first
week, The Father explained, VIII be accorded to The
spiritual instruction OF women 80 that the church
Will be exclusively Kept open Tor them during that
period. Men can come to mass IN the morning, how

INSTRUCTION Is NECESSARY
to keep In view the commandments Of God, that we
may by obedience thereto, obtain the iruit. In case
week should not suffice to 1nish the confessions
Tor emales two or three days further may be given,
that all may enjoy the DEMENT'S which 1t brings. The
object OF divIdin. the mission thus was that they
might have better opportunity to speak the truth
with liberty and to tell people OF their Obligations

women have the frst week, because they will adj
vertlse 1t better than the men. The men have often
to be dragged TO church. 1nere are many who have
1ndl1erent brothers or careless must ands who can
be induced by the women TO come to church.
