The services at St. Josephs church
Monday night in observance of the
feast of the Immaculate Conception
was largely attended by the members
of the parish and was very impressive,
being. as it is, one of the most solemn
in the Catholic religion. Young girls,
to the number of forty, dressed all in
white, and the insignia of the sodality,
to which they belong, made pretty
picture as they went through their part
of the services.
After singing the "Magnificat, ros-
airy and sermon came the conservation
to the Blessed Virgin, which was read
by Miss Fannie Kelly. assisted by
Owen McGinn, who held the candles.
The text of Rev. Father Quesnal was
Hail. Full of Grace" There was spe-
cial music by the choir arranged for
the occasion and under the direction of
Miss Ellen Cosgrove. This formed
feature of the services.

of the church in the installation process

of the church.
The professional was headed by $50
members of the parish with lighted
candles. They were followed by the
crossbearers and acolytes. The altar
boys and priests came next. The
cross, borne up by fifteen men, came
last.
The professional marched slowly up
the main aisle of the church to where
the cross received solemn blessing.
Rev. Father Niernan delivered the
sermon for the occasion. His subject,
mo Man Can Serve Two Masters"
was delivered in a forceful manner. He
said that the two masters were Christ
and Lucifier; each have an army Of
followers, and we must choose which
one we will serve.
Perhaps the most impressive scene of
the whole service was when $50 men,
with lighted candles on high, received
solemn blessing at the hands of
Father Norman.

djction.
The singing of the choir was excel

extremely critical, but it is now very
promising.
