Catholic.

Beginning next Sunday at st. Patrick s
church a series of mission services, cover
ing two weeks, will be held Two priests
Of the Dominican order, Rev. Fathers
Splinter and Goggan, are expected down
from New York to conduct the mission.
This will be the first time, 1t Is said, that
a mission will have been held in the state
by Dominicans. The first week of the
services will be devoted 10 women and the
second to men. This is the division that
it is expected will be made. The local
fathers know that the mission will be di-
vided into a weeks services for men and
a weeks for women, and they believe the
division named will be that which will
be adopted by the visiting fathers 1t is
thought the chief sermons will be heard
a night.

WILL CELEBRATE TO-DAY.
CHRISTMAS SERVICES WILL BE
HELD IN THE CHURCHES.

sDeciaI Musical Programmes Ar
ranged-Music to BE of a High Or
der-Services at Some of the
Churches Yesterday Dominican
Fathers Begin a Mission of Two
weeks at st. Patrick's Next Sum
day.
The services to-day in all the churches of
the city will be of particular interest on
account of the high order of music that
will be rendered. All but one or two will
have special programmes. The choirs have
been busy in practice for some days, and
the hymns will be sung with rich har-
mony.
Christmas sermons will be preached by
nearly all of the pastors. In most in
stances these sermons will be heard at
the morning services, while at night the
topics will be both on suggestions of the
day and such as may be taken at any
time during the year. There will prob
ably be large congregations at most of the
churches. Opportunity TO hear such music
as will be rendered does not often occur,
end it will be taken advantage of if the
weather will permit.
Some of the churches held services APP
propriate to Christmas yesterday. THESE
were the Catholic and the Episcopal
churches. At st. Pauls and Christ
churches services were held at II o'clock
and celebrations of the holy communion
at earlier hours were held. At the Cath
olic churches mass was celebrated
throughout the forenoon. The disagreeable
day interfered greatly with the attend
ance at all of these services.
