the church, the pictures are yelled ;
the naked cross stands out alone TO
proclaim the mourning of the spouse
for the crucifixion Of her Lord.
HOLY SATURDAY.
1t was the practice of the church
from the earliest ages that no mass
was SAID on Holy Saturday. For n
thousand years after the foundation
of the church it was the custom to
spend this day in prayer and fasting,
in watching in spirit with the holy
women at the sepulcher until the
morning of the Resurrection. AT
midnight, on Friday, the Divine Of
flee for Easter Eve was sung, but the
service and mass that we have now
on Holy Saturday really took place
on Saturday ,and extending till dawn
on the Sunday morning was the i'm
mediate herald of the Resurrection.
AS the sun went down on Easter Eve
the bishop and clergy and faithful
used to repair to the church for this
office, and its magnificent functions
occupied the whole night until sun
rise on Easter day. We should bear
this in mind if we wish to enter into
the spirit of this service, and If we
would understand the many illusions
we find in it to the night.
This will throw light upon the
meaning of many of it's ceremonies
and prayers.
EASTER SUNDAY.
Then comes the glad resurrection
tidings, "He is risen" Thousands
of candles are lighted on the alters,
flowers and plants are scattered
about in profus;on, priests adorned
in the finest and 'costliest raiment
officiate at the alters, hundreds of
voices sing the praises of GLORY be
to God on High" and the world
again puts on its holiday attire, and
the lenien season is over.

Mr.. William Clement, of Frceport, iii.

and represents the large Chicago house OF

turned his attention to mining, the exposure
from which and his life on the plains under

The Hot Springs Of Arkansas were visited

tanning the unveiling and alteration
Of the cross 4. The mass of the
presanctifled.
The choir and sacred ministers APP
proach the sanctuary in silence.
When the sacred ministers reach
the sanctuary, instead of beginning
by public prayer, they PROSTATE them
I selves on the ground in silence, while
a cloth and the book are laid on the
alter. They then rise and at once
proceed to read the lessons and col
lects, which brings before us the pas
chal lamb, the type of the lamb of
God, who is today sacrificed for our
sins.
The second part of the service con-
sists of supplication and petition.
The idea of the church in this action
is to make intercession with God on
this day for all classes and conditions
of men, While the church bids us
pray at all times for the converti n of
sinners and evil-doers, on this day
she makes public and official prayer
for those who are "enemies of the
cross of Christ" For mercy knows
no bounds, and our dying Savior has
given utterance to the words, "Fath-
er, forgive them, for they know not
what they do"
The celebrant sings eight prayer,
each of which is prefaced by few
words to show its object. First comes
the prayer for the spouse of Jesus
Christ, the church of God; then the
prayer for the vicar of Christ; then
the prayer for bishops and priests;
then the prayer for catechumens;
then the prayer for all in tribulation;
then the prayer for heretics; then
the prayer for the Jews; and lastly
comes the prayer for pagans.
The third action in good Fridays
services is reparation. Accordingly
the celebrant takes off his chasuble
in order to be the first to humble him
self on this day of mourning. He re-
ceives the yelled cross, and uncovers
a small part, raising it slightly and
sings III low voice: "Behold the
wood of the cross on which hung the
salvation of the world" Mounting
nearer the alter he goes through the
same ceremony second time; and
then, coming to the center of the
