PONTIFICAL MIDNIGHT MASS
Bishop ScanneIl Ushcrs In New Year
with Dignity, solemnity and
Grandeur.

With all the dignity and grandeur OF the
Catholic church the twentieth century was
ushered In with midnight mass at st.
Philomena's cathedral, with pontifcal high
mass celebrated by Bishop Scannell.
The side affairs were beautifully decorated
with evergreen and bright candles shed
their light over the statutes. In the cen
ter OF the high altar was blaze of light,
a hundred candles uniting with the illu-
minated decorations arranged by the
woman's sodality OF the parish, amid the
palms and cut flowers upon the altar,
while above the star of Bethlehem shone
resplendent. The Episcopal throne was
fttingly bedecked with evergreen.
The music for the mass was the same as
that given at the last mass Christmas and
was one of the most noteworthy efforts Of
the choir.
Bishop Scannell was assisted by Very Rev.
William Kelley, assistant priest; Rev. p.
McGovern and Rev. Father Kuhlmann, s..
j., deacons OF honor; Rev. ]. w. Stenson,
deacon OF the mass and master of cere-
MONIES Rev. Father Dincen, sub-deacon of
the mass.
The bishop delivered brief address to
the congregation in which he called atten-
tion to the infrequent ceremony OF the
midnight mass and stated that II was being
celebrated in thanksgiving for the bless
ings OF the old year. and as an appeal for
the continuance of the favor OF God. He
called attention to the advance Of Christ
ianity In the last century. from the early
days Of the nineteenth century, when the
head OF the church was a prisoner and the
French revolution had denuded the houses
of worship and made the priests exiles, un-
I'll today. when in all lands the Catholic
is respected and II the rule of the church
is not universal its representatives are
honored by people Of all races and condi-
tions. He deprecated the spirit OF greed
which has in a great measure captured the
nations OF the world and said that the
coming century would bring no blessing to
man unless this spirit was suppressed.

unparalleled prosperity" said the pastor.
AT this opening of new year every
churchman should pledge his efforts to the
upbuilding OF Christianity.
"What the church needs Is members who
lead higher spiritual life. There should
be more religion in our everyday life. Men
and women who believe in Christ should
follow His teachings in such manner that
the world may know of their faith. the
church cannot be better than its members
