THE BLESSING OF A BELL.
Only Bishop or Priest Specially Dele
gated May Perform Ceremony.

Dnly q Bishop or Priest Specially DeAes
gated May Perform Ceremony.
This description of Catholic cere-
mony of blessing bell is taken from
a private letter written by New York
ar, who is at present visiting little
fishing village in the south Of France
IN the Mediterranean.
ID The baptism Of bell is an act much
-aore important than the baptism OF a
tchild, it seems, and it cannot be con-
ferred except by bishop, or, if that il
impossible, by a church dignitary in
vested with the proper power by spc-
cial indult from Rome. Such was the
case in this instance, when the vicar
general of the bishop Of Marseilles was
commissioned to perform the solemn
ceremony.
The bell, covered with its white bap:
tismal robe, ornamented with laces,
gibbons and flowers, stood in front OF
the sanctuary and was raised three or
four feet from the floor, Whena bishop
ter and salt used. When he is not able
TO come he blesses them at the cathedral
and sends them in properly sealed YES
sells.
The officiating priest and the deacon
and subdeacon wear the amis, alb and
stole, Seven psalms are chanted, be-
ginning with the 'sMiserere" and ending
with the ode Profundis' After this
pegins the baptism with water special
" blessed and called Gregorian water,
as it appears that the liturgy followed
was instituted by St. Gregory the
Great,
The bell is washed inside and out and
during the ceremony the theological
psalms AS and $50, are recited in
psa1mody. Then comes the anointment
of the bell with the holy oil, while the
priest recites beautiful prayer.-N.

manager escorted them and explained
the modus operandi. These factories
are going to be great improvement in
butter making and financial benefit
if literally patronized. On returning

gotten any of her tact in the epicurean

ton was called to order by the presi-

entertained according to a prepared
program. A warm discussion of the
local option law, both pro and con, re-
suited in verdict to sustain the law.

ent and enjoyed the meeting.
