A CARD FROM BISHOP scANLAN.

I feel it my duty to protect Catholics
and the public generally from fraud
and imposition by notifying them from
time to time that no person bearing the
name and garb of a priest or sister or
any one else is authorized or permitted
to solicit or collect in this diocese for
any purpose whatever connected with
the Catholic church without having
from me permission in writing bearing
my seal and signature. Should any one
he found engaged in doing this unlaw-
fuI work of collecting without such a
document, he or she, as the case may
be, should be regarded by all as a fraud
and an imposter. /. SCANLAN,

To the observant mind the Catholic

The Gloria in Excelsis," the Joyous
Song of the Angels, is not said by the
priest at Mass. 1t is replaced by the
words, Humble your heads before the
Lord; also, Let US bend our knees

penance, when all should humble
themselves before God. and bend the
knees in prayer. In all these prescribed
ceremonies is a fund of knowledge to |

OBLIGATIONS OF LENT.
What Demanded of Catholics During This Holy Season.
= written Specially cahoic9

Lent The word is Teutonic, and in
German means the spring-Lenz
Webster gives the word as probable
from AS. lenegan, to lengthen, as the
| days at this time lengthen. In the
Church the season of Lent is called
| "Jejunium, guadragesimale, which
means the fast of forty days.
Ash Wednesday is the first day of
Lent. From that day to Easter the
forty days, known as the Lenten fast,
Sunday excluded, are completed. The
name Ash Wednesday had its origin
from the custom observed in the An
cient Church, of penetents expressing
their humiliation. by appearing in sack
cloth and ashes; also. from the public
services equally ancient of blessing
ashes on that day. and sprinkling the
same on the heads of its members, and
repeating the words, Remember, man,
that thou art dust, and unto dust thou
shalt return"
By many Fathers of the Church Ash
Wednesday was termed "Capuet Je-
jurin," which signifies the beginning
of the fast; also, dies cinerum." |

toward penitents during Lent, accord /

The fast prescribed for this season
