ASCENSION THURSDAY.

The Signiflcance OF the Festival or As
cension Thursday and Its Celebration
I'm the Catholic and Episcopal Churches
To-day.
The festival OF Ascension Day, which occurs to-
day-the fortieth day alter Easter Sundays cele-
brated by the Catholic and Episcopal churches In
Joyous commemoration OF the glorious ascension OF
our Lord into heaven, by which HE t1umpned
over the devil, led captivity captive and opened
the Kingdom OF heaven to all believers.n 1t is q
conceded fact In the history OF the Christian
iaith that Christ remained forty days upon
earth after His resurrection. During this
time His first and chief object was to
prove to the world that He was truly
risen from the dead. Hence lie appeared not only
to HIS apostles, but to various concourses OF people
ut different times, and once, according to the
Scriptures, to multitude OF over five hundred.
His second object was to found His Church, which
has since existed, and to instruct His apostles
how ito teach all nations" Having accomplished
all these wonders and concluded His mission upon
earth, lie crowned them by His triumphant ascen-
sion into heaven from Mount OIivet or the Noun
tain OF Olives, on the iorteth day after His resur
This last and most wonderful triumph of the
saviour has been commemoraetd throughout the
Christian world since the very earliest age OF the
Church-its origin being assigned TO the year 6s
after the Christian era.
In England IL has been very ancient and well
Kept up custom to dress the holy wells OF Tissng-
ton, as they have been called, with flowers, anu
rich ana poor, for many miles around, assemble to
perform this work Of innocent commcmoration, or
curious superstition. With this originated, also,
the reverence which, in many Christian countries,
even till TINS day. is shown TO holy wells BY some
persons, however, the custom Of hOnOring the
wells Is attributed to fearful drought, which WIS.,
tied Derbyshire in 1885, when spring was Of high
value to any neighb0rhood To the Romans, foun-
tains and wells have always been objects OF rever-
ence, as some OF the writings of Seneca testify;
is this surprising, since their very appearance Is
symbolic OF loneliness and purity.
The more modern and present general custom OF
celebrating this molly day is, however, by the wiser
and more suitable offerings Of prayer and sacri-
nee to the Most High, ana by hymns Of praise ana
thanksgiving Tor the glorious and triumphant VIC
tory OF HIS Son over sin and death, crowned with
Immortal glory in the great feat OF His ascension.
II Is in this spirit that the churches OF this city
Will celebrate SO great festival to-day, when SER
vices VIII be held in all the Catholic and Episcopal
churches, as well as those OF various other denOmi-
nations, at the same hours as on sundays
