 The body of the church was reserved for members of the society. After the members of the society were seated a6out 2,000 persons made rush for the door. At least 800 could not get seats, and after the aisles had filled up there was still a crowd outside. Both gal leries were so full that the police re- fused to let any more in after the mass began. Many went away disappointed The mass celebrated by Bishop Tierney lasted until noon when Father Downes began his sermon. The music was beautiful and the services very inn tpressive. It was o'clock when the ser vices ended.
 "My peace I give to you; it is the happy new year of Jesus Christ to you alI.'' said the Rev Father Downes ot Milford in concluding his remarks. He was asked to preach the sermon for this Holy Name gathering. He spoke for about fifteen minutes, during which he paid high tribute to the motto oi the Holy Name society: "Take not the name of the Lord thy God in valn.' The sermon was a stirring one and many regretted that Father Downes confined himself to such a limited time He was unusually eloquent and con- vincing. He threw his whole soul into his sermon and held his auditors spell bound.
 He spoke of the evils of the rush fol wealth and said that thereby the pool were often dragged to slavery. He sait the poor have their rights and so have the rich theirs. Differences must nat urally arise and they should be set tied by followers of Christ"
