Rev. FIR. j. E. Kealy gave an interesting
sermon last Sunday at st. Francis Catholic
church on blossoms of the Resurrection
The platform and pulpit were ornamented
with a tasteful arrangement of flowers and
potted plants, most of which were grown by
the pastor at the parsonage. A number of
Easter lilies stood behind the altar. The
pictures representing The Way of the
Cross were arranged consecutively on the
walls Of the church, and Father Kealy an
nounced that they were the gift of Mr.. VIM.
S. Brannigan. The pictures show, in IA
views the road which the Saviour took on
the way from the Judgment hall of PLATE
to the cross and the tomb. In early
days such pictures were posted along
the way at Jerusalem to show pilgrims
the points, but after pilgrimages ceased
the pictures were hung in or near the
churches throughout the world in order
that worshippers might stop and mediate
upon the lessons of the cross, as did the pill
grims of early days.
