ed TO prove that there is life. In the lily
is lily life; not any other kind OF life.
What must become of the bulb in
order to cause it to produce a lily? 1t
must be planted in the earth. 1t must
have good soil and must Ne where it
can receive moisture and subsistence.
This causes the old bulb to decay, but
the life produces the stalk, and finally,
this is developed into the full blown,
beautiful flower This is not done in
a day. 1t takes time. Many make this
mistake-they are converted to-day and
expect to make full grown Christians
tomorrow. God can do wonders, but
he does not make monstrosities in the
Christian life. What are the essentials
to the Christian life? There was a
time when every element of mans ma
ture was in accord with his Maker
But man sinned-our nature became
perveTIed-dead in trespasses and sin.
Christ opened up a way whereby we
might regain our lost estate. We can
not Of ourselves be good. We cannot
remove a single stain from our hearts
by anything we can do of ourselves in
accord with the atonement. We can
grow up into him, our living head.
Many after being converted act as
though they wished to store themselves
away in curiosity shop. They are just
as they were twenty years ago.
We are content TO be the last of those
who serve God. Get out of this shut
up life. Get out into the bright sun
shine of Gods love. We ought to quit
singing prone to wander Lord. I feel
it, prone to leave the God 1 love" We
ought to change it and sing thus:
prone to love thee Lord, I feel it,
prone to serve the God I love" Many
Christians live so, that men of the
world say they would not do what the
church members do. If we were living
up to our privileges this could not be
said. There are too many in the church
who are Goddess men and women. All
such ought to get out of the church in
a hurry. None but Christians ought to
be in Gods garden-the church We
ought to grow all the time. not merely
in revival seasons. 1t is strange that
all the flowers in our churches grow
more rapidly in the winter. This seems
to reverse nature. We ought TO grow
just as well in July as January. We
should have a revival the whole year
round. We can if we do as we ought
to do. This growth will be gradual

Yesterday was a most interesting day
at the Cathedral, and in all the Catholic
churches. 1t was Palm Sunday-the
ushering in of Holy Week. The first
mass was, as usual at half-past five a.
m. and was we'll attended. Another
mass followed an hour later, and yet
another-the children's mass-at nine.
This is becoming a favorite service
with the parents by reason Of the beau
tiful and touching singing of the little
ones. Before the high mass at half
past ten, the blessing of the palms by
Bishop Donahue occurred. The Cos
pei of the Passion according to st.
Matthew was sung by Rev. Fathers
Boutlou, McDermott, and Moye, re-
spectively, in an impressive manner.
Rev. Father Harris ofiiciated at the high
mass proper, and Rev Father McCar-
rem acted as sub-deacOn. There was no
sermon, owing to the length Of the
service.
In the evening at vespers, Bishop
DOnahue preached the closing discourse
of the series on the blessed sacrament.
The particular theme treated was THE
Holy Eucharist and the frequency OF
receiving The discourse was princi-
pally an exhibition of the history of the
rise and fall of the appreciation of the
faithful for the Holy Eucharist in the
course of the centuries. There were
many interesting points difficult to be
reproduced. He showed how Chris
tianS received holy communion at each
mass they attended. and no wthe sacra-
ment from the very necessity of times
of persecution, was entrusted to the
keeping Of lay persons and even to chill
dren. The struggle between the love
of solitude and the desire to receive
frequently on the part of the early her
mitS was also discussed. and il was
shown that without any exception they
all received once or twice a week. Even
the pillar saints, notably St Simeon
Stylites, either descended from their
lofty homes or had a priest to climb to
them with the Holy Eucharist as so
touchingly referred to by Tennyson in
his poem entitled. st. Simeon Stylites.
The twelfth thirteenth and four
teenth centuries held a sad pre-emi-
hence in GOODNESS towards the neglect
of the sacrament, but ever. since St. Ig-
natius and st. Philip Neri preached a
new crusade Of greater fervor the move
ment has not lost but rather gained in
force and volume. even in these days.
Rules of the theOlogians. saints, and
mOralists, were then referred to, and
the whole concluded with a feevent ex-
hOrtation TO receive Holy Eucharist
fervently and frequently.
The palms distributed at the Cattle
dral were brought especially from
Florida and were much larger and
more graceful than heretofore. A col
lection was announced for next Sunday
for the obtaining of some sanctuary
adOrnments. The music during the
high mass and vespers was particular
ly fine notably the solo of Mrs. NJ. T.
Whitaker and the duet of Mrs Whit
aker and Mrs. George Updegraff.
