Interesting Nine Days Prayer Service at
ST. Jo.erh's Catholic Church.

Since last Tuesday a Novcna or nine
days prayer has been going on at st.
Joseph's church. IN preparation for the
feast Of that saint on March 18th. These
ccrvices are held every evening at s
O'Clock. and consist IN prayers. sermon,
and bcnediction. Last night Rev. c. De
Nuyuck preached a very instructive SER
mon on death.
Tonight the Rt. Rev. Bishop Van de
Nyver will bless large new cruciiX. The
figure OF the crucihed Saviour, nearly
lifc-sizc, IS carved In oak, and a magniii-
cent work of art. The expression OF the
face IS most s0rroyful and pathetic. The
cross. nearly twelve feet long, is al-o OF
oak and richly decorated IN gold. IL Is
Gothic. and quite in keeping with the style
OF the church. The cross is suspended
from the middle Of the arch of the sane
tuary. and Is thIs in fun view Of the
whole congregation. Before blessing IL
the bishop viii explain the meaning of
that ceremony, as we'll as the object Of
having cruciflXes in the churches.
While the attendance at these services
has been quite large so far, tonight the
seating capacity of the church Will be
taxed - its utmost.
