on Sundays there is neither fast nor
abstinence, but fish and flesh must not

BY a special indult granted to the
bishops of the United States for ten
years, dating from March Is, 1895,
working people who cannot easily OBJ
serve the common law of the church
are dispensed from the obligation of
abstinence on all days of the year ex-
cept Fridays, Ash Wednesday, Holy
Week and Christmas Eve. This dis
pensation does not exempt from the
additional obligation of fasting, where
such exists, nor does it authorize the
use of fish and flesh at the same
meal. 1t includes. however, not only
the individual workmen in whose ia
vor it is granted, but all the members
of their families as we'll In return
it is expected that those who avail
themselves of this indult will endeavor
to enter into the spirit of the holy
season Of Lent by voluntary acts of
modification and penance. A most
useful and commendable custom is
that of abstaining during Lent from
stimulants, in honor of the sacred
thirst of our divine Saviour.
The time for fulfilling the Easter
precept of communion in the diocese
extends from the first Sunday in Lent
to Trinity Sunday inclusive.
