 This was the theme which was dis cussed tonight by the Paulist fathers in their regular lecture on the doctrines and practices of the Catholic church at the Cathedral.

 The church's teaching recommends it. self, said the lecturer, to sound reason, is founded on the words of holy scrip torical evidences of the early church.

S-s-. there is a middle place besides heayea 2 second, the souls there detained can sha helped by the faithful on earth The church's definition of purgatory Is that have departed this life. not in state of mortal sin, are. detained for a time in order to be cIeansed of ans imper- fections they may still have at time of death, and which prevent them from immediately entering heaven, where al- so they may undergo whatever pes5ssnce is still due to God for the sins oE their life. Now the Church teaches that we upon earth by prayers, fasting, aims giving, and other good works. may be of assistance to these souls, and that God will accept our .penances and hear our prayers In their behalf
 'sHistory's testimony is clear. The literature which has come down to us from the earliest days of the Church record the fact that the first Chris tains who had been taught by the apos- ties and their immediate successors, al- ways prayed for their dead. The in- scriptions on the graves of the early Christians still extant in the catacombs furnish hundreds of witnesses for the purity of our present faith. For who will dare to say that the Apostolic Church was in error!
 Finally this teaching of the Church appeals to the heart of man. For, ac- cording to 1t, death does not break the bond that unites us on earth as broth CTS in Chirst, the grave can claim no victory, and the mothers instinct Of prayer for her child Is not crushed by the hand of death. There Is a sweet consolation in our faith which we would gladly share with you. which ar ises from the fact that our Churcr solicitude and care extends even beyond the portals of deathe and the darkenss of the grave"
