ciated, and at nine O'Clock the procession
entered the chapel, the Lady Superioress
and her assistant conducting the postu.
lants to the altar railing. The choir of
ret.gaeuse sung the 'Ave Maria Stella"
and at its conclusion the priest gave to
each of the postulants lighted candle
as aIsymbol Of the light to which Jesus
Christ calls those reisgisuse souls whom
he would have to serve Him wholly and
entirely. The postulants then retired
few steps from the altar, and re-
NAMED seated during the sermon. The
sermon over, the priest intoned the
''Veni Creator Spiritus,' which the choir
took up and continued to its close. The
postulants then knelt before the altar
while the priest asked each one what she
demanded, and they in turn replied that
their wish WAS to be clothed in the holy
habit Of religion, to be tried in the prac.
tice of the Christian virtues, and to dwell
IN the house of the Lord all the DAYS of
their lives. Again and again were they
asked II they persisted in this demand,
and again and again they repeated and
renewed their request to be allowed to
wear the white robes of the reHgieuse,
aud the Superioress having stated that
the community desired to accept them
they retired from the chapel to put aside
forever the softly flowing draperies and
Heecy wells of the world, shortly return

have despised the kingdom of this World
and all the vain splendor of the age for
the love of our Lord Jesus Christ
Kneeling down they received the blessing
of the priest, who prayed God to keep
them from henceforth and forever. Each
one then received the scapular as an en-
blem of the light and amiable yoke Iof
Jesus Christ. The white veil was then !
bestowed as symbolical Of the modesty |
and purity Of those who would be hidden
in God and keep their eyes yelled from
the vanities of the world: the rosary as
mark of conservation to the Mother Of
Jesus Christ, and testimony of devotion
to the ex ample of that sweet model Of all
Christian graces and virtues, and the
long. white choir mantle typifying the
apostolic robes of those who fol.

goeth. As Christ promised a
new name to those who were victorious,

herself. The Superioress then retired
from the altar grating and remained in
her stall while the assistant conducted the |
new novices to her, and she gave to each
one the kiss, saying, "Sister, God give you |
His peace" and they in turn bestowed
the kiss upon their companions, while the |
choir sung the psalm, ''Behold how good |
and how pleasant it is for brethren to
dwell togetherfin unity" Thanames Of
