Tomorrow will be observed as All Souls
Day. As stated yesterday the Feast Of
Ali Saints occurring this year on fast
day friday, Pope Plus issued special
edict granting dispensstion from alb
stinence for today. A copy of the edict
was sent to Cardinal Gibbons, who,
through his secretary, notified The pastor

benedictioD, and exposition of the
blessed sacrament followed by short
instruction on the intention for the

Souls Day, there will be low mass at
$50 a. NJ. and high mass at 8 a. N.
All Saints Day is held in commence
ration of all saints who are not com
memmorated on other feast days. In
the Protestant and Reformed Episcopal
Churches the festival also combines In
a measure the idea Of all Souls Day.
Ia the communion service, besides me-
uorislizing before God the lives of mar
tyrs and cOnfessors aud the great army Of
faithful souls of every sge and cline,
special attention Is devoted to the men,
ory of the deceased held dear BY ties OF
kindred and affection.
The object of All Souls Day, as OBJ
,ery;,A 10 the Catholic churches, is to
alleviate BY prayers and alnsgiving the
sufferings of souls in purgstory. For
long time no special day vas appointed
for the commemoration Z: Gil the DE-
parted who have not attained to Sarfect
life. Among the early Christians the |,
names of the deceased were entered upon |
the diptychs, or lists used at the altar,
from which the priest read the names OF
those for whom he was required to pray.
10 the sixth century it was customary IN |
Benedictine moDasteries for commence
astiOn of All the departed brethren to be
held at Whitsuutids. In Spain the |
memorial of ALI Souls was celebrated In |
the time of Saint Isidore on the octave |
of Pentecost. Saint Odilc, of ClugHy,
in $685. ordered that in all monssterits
affiliated to ClugDy the commemorstion !!
of All Souls should occur on the day fol- |
lowing All Saints Day. Thence the OBJ
ssrvance of November as All Souls
Day spread throughout ChrisIendom.
