There can be no doubt that many

The Garden of Gesthemane, wherein is
the reputed tomb of Christ, is small in

Now the place is beautifully adorned
with hedges kept in exquisite order by

One of the most interesting features of

imposing spectacle. A great golden cross
Is carried in the center of the group.
one OF the most solemn atures of the
mass is that of the elevation of the chal-
ice. The melodious pealing of the small
altar bells warns the congregation of
the event, and two of the attendant
priests hand glass of wine diluted with
water to the Archbishop, who sips it slow
~. The wine represents the blood and
body OF Christ, and at that particular
tlme OF the ceremony an apparition of
the Lord of Hosts is supposed to appear
upon the altar
When the voice of the Archbishop has
completed the lat words of the mass. he
mounts his throne with the crozier in his
LETT hand, and, while the whole congrega-
ton and priests kneel, he gives the papal
benediction.
With that the public participation in
the celebration of the day on the part of
the Archbishop is over. and he retres to
his residence. Pontifcal vespers at D.
m. and the evening services are conducted
by the other priests.
One of the events of the day in the
Archbishop's palace is the dinner after
the various high masses in the different
churches. The Vicar-Generals and lead
ing priests of the city will be invited to
this repast.
An effort had been made but it was
subsequently abandoned as Useless. to
bring about a personal reconciliation be-
tween Fathers McGlynn, Burtsell and
Ducey and the Archbishop in the after
noon OF Easter. Although these are Off
cially reconciled. as far as the church
goes, mutual friends hoped to renew the
old bonds of friendsh IN which existed be-
tween them, but it was found to be i'm
practicable.
A few of the great Catholic lavmen are
usually admitted TO the conferences on
Easter afternoon. Mr. Thomas Crimmins.

With one exception the corporation of
