General Religious Notes.


The work that win be put on st. Mary's
Episcopal Church during the spring aAd
summer will change the edifice SO much
that it will hardly be recognizable. Al
ready the exterior of the church has been
handsomely painted and looks very fiue
indeed Within, the alterations viii be
very great and the walls and ceiling have
been handsomely frescoed The coiors in
which the work has been done are soft
ard delicately blended The other work
10 be done in The church will be begun in
short time and will make great alter
ations in the Interior.
MANY ALTERATIONS.
A new ehaneel and choir stalls will be
made 10 admit OF this, the chancel and
altar will be made very deep. A new
sacrarium will also be placed in the
church. All this will built of ash, and
the altar decorations will be very hand
some. phe floor has been completed and
isof Georgia pine, and bright new car
pet has been laid in the chancel. The or
gan will also have extensive repairs put
on it and it will be like new organ
when the work is completed. The church
will also have rectory, which it needs
greatly. This will be built next the
church on Hoboken avenue and will be a
handsome and commodious dwelling.
This and the church Will be heated by
steam and will be a welcome improve
ment.
A PARISH BUILDING ALSO.
Wien all this il done a new parish
building will be erected next the church
for the Sunday School and also for enter
tainments. This will be quite plain
structure, but is excellentiy planned for
the purpose for which it is intended.
Since st. Mafy'S WAS converted from
Holy Trinity to st. Mary's it has under
gone many alterations and scarcely looks
like the same church, and the new re-
pairs will change 1t still more. DIR. War
rem has been q very hard worker for this
church since he became the rector and
has brought it up to now Hourishing
condition At Easter the collection was
$780, Another new feature which the
church will have will be a choir of both
boys and girls, and both will wear vest
ments. This is quite new departure.
CHRIST HOSPITAL FAIR.
The fair for Christ Hospital iopens tonaor-
row night in Woods Hall. For months
the churches, not only the Episcopal
but many Others, have been working very
hard fer this event and good results are
expected The fair viii be open one week
and the hall will be beautifully arranged
and decorated. The churches that have
been engaged in doing for the fair will be
represented in tables where the fruits OF
their work will be displayed. 1t is to be
hoped that this fair which is for so cx-
cellent cause will be largely patronlzed
aud all attend who can possibly do SO.
IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCHES.
Today begins the forty hour devotion at
81. Patrick's, and the services attending
this season of penitential devotion will
be of a most imposing and solemn
character. The sacrament will be ex-
posed for the alteration OF the people and
the time spent in solemn penitence The
celebrants of the services viii be the Rev.
Patrick Hennessey, the Rev. J. y. Shee-
han and DR.. Mcdonald The Easter col
