loaded cars westwardly. There is a heavy
decline in the grade eastwardly from the
Brownsville station to about the middle
of the curve, then a heavy upward
grade begins and it is customary
to throw open all the brakes
when the ascent begins. The brakeman of

and the speed attained was so great that the
train Of $40 crashed into the cars engine 4O3

ACCESSORIES OF WORSHIP.
Manner in Which Incense. Relics and
Offerings Began.

Manner In Which 1nconse, Relics and
Offerings Began.
The use Of incense in churches was
forbidden as heather custom till the
fifth century. The use Of holy water
was equally denounced as a practice
of the pagan priests Of Rome and of
the ritual Of Isis. The asperging OF
Julian in Gaul by priest Is perhaps
the earliest instance OF the introduc-
tion OF this corruption, which became a
source of superstition in the fifth CEN
tury, says Blackwood's Magazine The
wonder-working power Of the relics
OF martyrs began to be believed to-
ward the close of the fourth century
and almost Immediately after we find
complaint made of the sale of forged
relics, both in the east and in the west
The sale of relics was forbidden by
Theodosius, yet they constantly in
creased in numbers and in Importance
until the holy table was converted in
to an altar to hold them. In the fifth
century also ex voto offerings began
to be hung on church walls-a custom
which was of heather origin. The use
Of lights, which, as above said, was
forbidden in the second century in the
daytime, crept in In the fifth century.
The Mithraic affairs had much earlier
supported candles. but these may have
been necessary in underground chapels.
Jerome wrote that 1t was slanderous to
say that wax tapers were burned "in
