Good Friday.


Yesterday was good Friday and was duly cele
brated in the Catholic and Episcopal churches.
The mass of the day in the Roman Catholic
churches differs remarkably from that of any
other day in the year 1t is termed the mass of
the Presanctifed Host 1t not being lawful to
eonsecrate the eucharist on Good Friday, the
priest communicates with the Host which was
eonsecrated the day previous ard left in a re
pository on one side of the church. All day yes
terday crowds of Catholics throneed to this re-
positoPy, which is decked with flowers, hang
ings, and myrads OF lights, and paid their adora-
ton to the blessed sacrament. The high altar is
stripped bare of its ornaments and coverings,
and the service to-day is celebrated without
lights or incense. In one part the eelebrant
takes off his ehasuble and taking the altar cruel
fix, which has been yelled since Passion Sunday
he goes to the epste left side of the altar and
exposing the top of the cross sings, 'Behold the
wood of the cross!" He then goes to the gospel
right side of the altar and in ike manner ex-
poses the one arm; then, in the middle of the
altar, he unveils the whole cross. 1t is then
placed at the foot of the altar and the clergy
taking off their shoes, creep TO the cross ard kiss
its foot The people then come to the altar rails
and adore the crueifxes presented to them
Traces of the ancient Eastern masses are dis
cernable in this service, and several Greek pray
ers chanted antiphonally.
