AT ST. PETERS CATHEDRAL.
Close of One Mission and the Opening Of
Another.

AuOtneI.
With a reception to the members of
the Blessed Virgins sodality the young
ladies' mission of the cathedral ended
last night, and the mission for the
female members of the congregation
was begun. Father Bucholtz left on
the midnight train for Waterbury
Conn, to open a mission there. During
the week Father O'Reilly will conduct
the services, assisted by local priests.
The daily order of exercises will he
masses at $50, and 8 a. m. Stations
of the cross after last mass each morn
ing, confessions morning and afternoon,
and a sermon each evening at 7SO.
At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Father Bucholtz preached to the
women of the parish upon general
subject. Their duty is, he said, to say
their daily morning and evening
prayers, attend all religious services at
the church, hear mass regularly and go
to confessions and communion at the
proper seasons of the year. The
speaker took up the subject of the sac
rament of matrimony and said that a
prerequisite essential to happiness be-
tween man and wife is the piety of the
latter. The husband was established
by God to rule over the household and
the wife must be obedient. Cleanliness,
tidlness and habits opposed to extrava-
gance are qualities In a woman that
makes the husband love her and brings
happiness to the household The sin Of
unfaithfulness Is the most atrocious act
that a wife can commit, and many
temptations surround married
woman. If she be truly religious God
will give her grace to withstand all
these temptations. Woe to the parents
that do not exercise proper care over
their children, because on the last day
God will demand an account Of parents
for the lives of their offspring. See
that they beget love for work. attend
to their education, send them to school,
and above all other things watch over
their religious teachings. After the
sermon Father Bucholtz pronounced
benediction and large numbers APP

Colonel Boies was most emphatic in
saying that insane persons who gave
any hope Of recovery should be sent
to Danville, where the staff had greater
experience as specialists to deal with
such cases.

Reception Of the Sodality.
The reception in. the. evening opened
with the singing of the hymn, "All Hail
Our Mother and Dear Queen" by the
sodalisits. After the Veni Creator,
Father Bucholtz preached the sermon,
the subject being, "The Blessed Virgin
and the Sodality." The speaker re-
ferred to the pure holy life of Mary,
she was always virgin and never
committed any sin. She Is upheld to
the members of the sodality because
she Is the mother of our Redeemer. She
is the type of Christian morals and an
extraordinary means of grace. Catho-
lies do not worship Mary but they I'M
plore her intercession because her posi-
tion in heaven as the mother of the
Trinity, since she is the mother of the
second Person, enables her to bestow
favors which God grants through her
She Is the model of Christian morality
and should be initiated. She is not an
ordinary means of grace, such as the
sacraments, but her bounteous stores
of merciful intercession render her an
object that is it worth our while to
honor. The speaker went on and de-
scrbed the life of Mary, her humility
above all, and her deeply religious con-
duct on this world God is pleased to
see women initiate her and Is most
generous to those who are devoted to
the mother of His only Divine Son,
The hymn, Hail Holy Virgin" was
sung and next came the reception Of
the postulants, over sixty of them.
This was a most impressive ceremony
as they filed to the altar rail and re-
ceived the badge Of the sodality. Be
sides the postulants nearly eighty mem
bers were admitted to full membership
in the society. They received their
badges and the blessing of the priest.
Following the reception the hymn,
"There Is No Heart Like Thine Dear
Lord" was sung. Miss Mary Canavan
played the accompaniment on the
organ. Then came benediction of the
blessed sacrament, the chanting of the
TIE Deum and. blessing of religious ar
ticles.

FADLEY'S CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
BY FRANK u. WEIGH.

Young Mr.. Fadley was in a worry.
He had some Christmas presents to
buy. and what to get was what wor-
ricd him First and foremost. there
was Miss Damon, upon whom he was
anxious to create an impression she
must have something appropriate and
elegant. whether anybody else got
anything or not. Then there was his
bosom friend and constant companion
Harvey. "A good fellow who had placed
him under obligation times without
number-him he could not forget

giant articles for feminine use. These
were all incloscd in an deliberately be-
Pushed and inlad case which was
neatly wrapped and all ready to be
sent to the intended recipient. For
his friend Harvey he had an elegant
shaving set consisting Of razors,
brushes, cups, homes. etc, done up in a
substantial ease which was also ready
to be dispatched to the home Of his
friend
Not daring to trust n messenger with
the presents for fear OF some mistake
Fadley started out himself to deliver
them First he called ut IIarvey's

We fled precipitately for although the

tasting kava, had assured us MAT il

Although such maryels have hsep

During our visit to Suva, there were

this horrible crime When we heard
that. we were relieved also to
learn that white people are not es-
