Celebration Of the Immasulate Conception.

The golden jubilee of the proclama-
tion of the dogma of the immaculate
Conception was appropriately OBJ
served at the Catholic church Thurs
day. Low mass was celebrated at I
o'clock and high mass at 10, and the
attendance at both services taxed the
capacity of the sacred edifice to its
utnos t extent. Father Harding Off
eiated at high mass and delivered an
eloquent and impressive sermon on
ssThe Immaculate Conception, y which
was listened to with much attention
and interest by the large congrega-
ton. At 3 O'Clock in the afternoon
there was benediction Of the Blessed
Sacr ament, followed by a procession
around the church, the statue OF the
Virgin Mary being escorted by the
girls of ST. Vincent's Institute. A
choir composed of the pupils OF st.
Joseph's Commercial Institute sang at
the O'Clock mass and at the after
noon service, the morning selections
comprising g Mother Dear, o Pray for
Me, - lave Maris Stella, z Holy
God, We Hraise Thy Name and 20
Heart Immaculate. During the COM
munion Balfe's Heart Bowed Down.
was beautifully rendered by an or.
chestra Of five pieces, composed of
Miss Odile Cook, organ. Geo. Pons,
first violin; Albert Pons, flute; Louis
Dehon, cornet; Leon Fortier, second
violin. The musical program was un-
der the direction of Brother George, of
St. Joseph's Institute, and Sister Clo-
tilda, OF ST. Vincent's Institute, and
added greatly to the solemnity and
Inconsistencies Of the services.
