Z-On last Sunday. the Catholic
church at the Seashore celebrated
the feast of Corpus Christi. This
feast was introduced into the
church in 1868 under the following
circumstances. Bohemian priest,
while Numbering at the altar of his
church, was seized with the terrible
temptation to doubt the transub-
sanitation of the wafer which he
had just consecrated. Mortified at
his own guilt, the %celebrant OF the
mass beheld drops of blood oozing
from the sanctifed Host. All were
awe-stricken at the miracle, and
the church instituted in commend
ration the feast of Corpus Christi.
Such was the pious legend.
