BISHOP HAD.
The Learned Preiate Conducted Interest
ing and Impressive Services at St
Thomas Pro-Ca;bedral on s~undsy-Ihe
Stations of the Gross Blessed

1t will be a long time before the i'm
p~resssve services Of last Sunday at ST.
Thomas' church viii fade from the mem
ories of those who Witnessed all the devo-
lions. Large audiences greeted the RI.
Rev. Bishop Had at both services and
listened with marked attention TO his
discourses.
At 1920 a. m. the usual Sunday services
took place. the choir rendering very ef-
fectivesy Mass in E fat by Barthol-
meus. Mrs. Waters sang in her happy
style an ofertory from the Italian. At
his service Bishop Had made an earnest
plea for the faithful practice of religion.
After dwelling on the great debt which
man owes Almighty God in the creation
ard redemption. the bishop showed very
forcibIy mans ingratitude in acting con-
trary to the will of God. The speaker
showed the mercies Of God in sending
His Son TO save men, and endeavored to
impress on mis- hearers the necessity of
practicing their religion. II were useless
to claim to be a Christian If we did not
practice Christianity. Religion, he de-
clared. was not for Sunday alone. but
was for every day; it should be part of
our lives.
AT 7:45 p. m. the stations of the cross
| were economically erected. This devotion
| consists in meditations on fourteen scenes
in the passion of our Saviour. They are
all drawn from Scripture and the beauti-
full representations adjoining the walls of
the church bring WILDLY to the mind
the sufferings of Christ. The first sta
! ton represents the scene when PLATE
| condemned Jesus to die. The second
| shows the Saviour burdened with the
| cross, and thus on through all the scenes
I till the last, where the Saviour is placed
| in the tomb. In his sermon the bishop
| explained this devotion and showed the
| utility of using pictures to impress bet
ter the minds of all with the grandeur OF
the scene. He showed what a suitable
devotion this was for the Christian. We
should all be familiar with the work OF
redemption, and as the pious women fol.
lowed Jesus in that first journey to Cal.
vary, so modern Christians should il
spirit dwell on the passion of our Saviour
and to this they are aided by means o.
these representations which appeal ST
strongly to the imagination.
The music added much to the solemn
services. At the opening the bishop in.
toned the the N$m creator, or Come
Holy Spirit, and the choir rendered The
chant in the Gregorian. The VeXills
Regis was then sung. After the sermon
Miss O'Connor sang Gunod' Ave Maria
At benedictiOn, which closed the ser
vices, Mrs. Waters sang Millard's Av'
Verum. Then the choir sang Tantun
Ergo by Yer Dussen.
The services closed by the. choir's sing
ing the Gregorian Deurn. During Bishol
Haid's stay in the city he is the guest o
Rev. Father Dennen. He will leave thi
afternoon for Belmont.
