was commenced. Archbishop ireland,
clothed in gorgeous robes of purple and
gold, wearing on his head a inter of
white satin embroidered and trimmed
with gold, performed the ceremony, be-
ing assisted by three priests in purple
and silver chaSubleS. The images, cru

are still draped with purple wells, purple
being the color for penitential seasons,

palms which were stacked in sheaf at
the gospel side of the altar, and had in.
censed them and asperged them with
holy water, they were distributed to tue
priests and acolytes, who then marched
in procession round the church. The
procession was headed by priest bear

acolytes bearing tall candles, another
swinging the censor, were followed by

last of all, Archbishop Ireland in full

hand palm branch. ~.

by Rev. Father Stanley, assisted by the
choir. While the Kyrie Eleison was
being rendered six acolyteS distributed

Palm Sunday took so long to chant that
Father Shanley preached no sermon,
merely announcing the services for the
week as follows: Wednesday and Thurs
day evenings at 7:30 the Tenebrae and
Introduction will be given. and Fri
day at the same time the Way of the
Cross. Holy Thursday being the fes-
tival of the institution of the Blessed
| Sacrament, only one mass will be
sung, and that at 10 a. IN. A re-
pository of the Blessed Sacrament will
be made at mass on Holy Thursday,
and the congregation was invited to do
nate flowers for this purpose. At a.
III. Good Friday the Mass of the Pre-
Sanctified will be sung. and Saturday
the services will commence at a. M,
with mass at $50. Confessions will be
heard all day Wednesday and Friday
afternoon, while Saturday evening is
set apart for the confessions of men
only.
Yesterdays services, though not to
be compared with those with which the
Catholic world will celebrate the CROWN
ing point of the whole religious
year, Easter. were of very
gloom of Passion week, the
yelled images and ornaments, and the
mOurnful nature of all the chants
rather added to than detracted from
their solemnity. From every Catholic
church, as the congregations dispersed,
were seen crowds of people, every one
of them carrying palms. Next Sunday
these will give place to white roses and
lilies, and during the week the choirs
of all the churches will work hard to
perfect the glorious Easter music.
Next Sunday the offerings in all
Catholic churches in the archdiocese
will be in aid of the orphan asylums.
Archbishop Ireland has addressed a
strong letter to the clergy and laymen.
pointing out their duty to "hold in
kindly and generous remembrance the
little wards of Gods providence" The
collections on Good Friday throughout
the world are by command of his holi-
ness, the pope, devoted to the care of
the holy places in Palestine.
TALKING FOR TEMPERANCE.

Johnston Address a Mass Meet

There was large attendance at the
Gospel Temperance mass meeting held

The opening address was made by Rev.f
X. T. KirkWood d. D., of Maealesteri
college. He said that preachers had
much to discourage them. The human
heart does not take naturally to thes
Gospel of Jesus Christ, but shrinks2
from it and repels it; it is hard
to make men believe. as God
wants belief. Speaking of drunken
ness, DR.. Kirkwood said: Il have seem
men reduced to moral and physical
wrecks as the result of their inability to
control an inordinate appetite for strong
drink. l have also seen men, who will
pinch dime until one almost expects
to hear the eagle scream. men who make
professions of religion, who sit at the
communion table and believe them
selves Christians from the fact. Men
who, when the plate goes round to col
lect a little money to carry on the
Lords work, drops one of their treas
ured dimes with a sigh, and never
thiDk of giving more. These are men
who perhaps have hundreds of thou
sands of dimes, but only one to aid the
cause of Christ. There are others who
give literally, and attend the church
meetings, mingle with the true Chris
tians, and mask their black hearts with
a cloak of simulated Christianity simply
for the position it affords them in the
walks of life. | say to you this after

of degradation is no worse, nay not as
