Mandan, N. D.-There were services
in the Catholic church each day dur
ing holy week. each service being very
we'll attended. says the Pioneer. On
Easter the church was crowded at
each of the four services, there being
over 400 communicates at the two
masses. Father Collins preached on
the text "He Is Risen." In the course
of his discourse he said there were
two graves in Jerusalem from the time
of Christ to this day and he had seen
them both. But they are empty graves.
One Of them was the grave of Lazarus.
who Christ raised from the dead, and
the other one was the grave of Christ
himself, under the dome Of the holy
sepulcher; that one is also empty.
Christ raised Lazarus from the dead
by his own power, but the crowning
evidence of Christianity was that
Christ raised himself by his own ma
tive. inherent power. st. Paul says,
"If Christ had not risen from the dead
our religion would all have been in
vain." cRrist's resurrection is pledge
of our resurrection. Let the Christians
and the whole human race love and
believe in him." Father Vincent Of
Richardton preached the evening ves-
per. The church was beautifully illu-
minated by 500 electric lights. The
choir closed the services by singing the
"Te Deum."
