Cardinal to Explain Decree.

In these sermons the new decree will not
be touched on, nor will there be any effort
made to explain its provisions and intent.
The decree will not be promulgated Of
! hcially nor put in force until Easter Sun
day, but before that time arrives 1t is
stated Cardinal Gibbons will issue a let
ter on the decree explaining its provisions
in detail, after which the members of the
clergy of this diocese will eXpound the de-
cree as fundamental church law from
their pulpits.
Rev. William T. RUSSELL the new pas
tor of st. Patrick's Roman Catholic
church, delivered a sermon Yesterday
at the evening service on Marriage
Contract and a Sacrament" IN which
ne clearly set forth the meaning of the
marriage ceremony from the Catholic
standpoint. and outlined the duties and
responsibilities of the contracting par
ties:
Marriage. in the Catholice Church."
said Father Russell. lis not merely the
exchange Of promises by the contract
Ing parties and the pronouncement of
the formation of the marriage bond by
the minister. 1t is elevated, by Christ
Himself, to the high and holy plane of
a sacrament
"All the other sacraments REQUIRE a
minister, as, indeed, does this one. but
In this the contracting parties are
themselves ministers. sanc1ified by
the grace which the sacrament confers.
In other sacraments the participants
are not permitted within the sacred
precincts of the sanctuary; but in this
the church opens wide her gates and
admits them to the foot of the holy Of
holies."
Father Russell then explained what
is so often misunderstood outside the
Church of Rome, that marriage. being
a sacrament, is a compact not only be-
tween the contracting parties. but with
God Himself. and that Is the fact which
makes it indissoluble by the act or con-
sent of the married couple"
Lenten hymns were sung during the
usual vesper service, and at its close
the benediction was given by Father
Russell.
In connection with the other Lenten
ceremonies marriage will be discussed
In all its phases by the several curates
of the ST. Patricks Church.

.BETROTHAL ANO MARRIAGE
LAWS OF CATHOLIC CHURCH
DISCUSSED.
Cardinal Gibbons to Issue Letter at
Easter Season Defining the
Papal Decree.

The laws of the Catholic Church regard
ing betrothal and marriage, which will be
officially promulgated Easter Sunday, are
receiving consideration on the part of the
clergy. Engagements and marriage con-
tracts in all their phases and stages are
being discussed, both in ministerial con-
ferences and through pulpit deliverance.
In practically all Of the Catholic
churches OF Washington the programs OF
Lenten sermons provide for a thorough
discussion of this topic. 1t is desired to
inform the Catholic communicate and the
world at large anew regarding the position
of the church on the question. Though the
principles contained in the new laws have
been long recognized in the church. their
reaff1rmation is thought to be timely. in
view of the increase of marriages before
civil magistrates in this country.
The campaign of education IS also due
to fear that the marriage contract is
losing, in the eyes of many. the sacerdotal
character. Divorce has been on the in
crease. 1t is declared, and it is to bring
It's communicates to fuller realization
of the responsibilities and sacredness OF
the marriage vows that engagements and
marriage are being made one of the prin-
cipal themes of the Lenten discourses in
Catholic churches

QUEER SUPERSTITION.

An amazing story Of credulity
and superstition has just been de-
tailed before The assizcs court at
Frciberg, Germany. The case was
that Of the village graye-digger at
Kuhnhcide, who was accused OF
having profancd the grave of his
own daughter, a young woman who
died a year and a half ago. With
sobs, the man related that before
her death his daughter had doubts
about obtaining eternal pence, and
had promised to appear TO him. lie,
On his part, had promised not to
cove her with earth, and had con-
trivcd an arrangement which nearly
filled the grave, and only needed q
thin covering Of soil. Having re-
Gently eel his daughter in a dream,
the man. in company with several
ncighbors, opened the grave by
night, and each person present alb
stractcd a tooth from the mouth Of
the corpse to he used a. a talisman.
One Of his neighbors, a woman, Civ
ing evidence on his behalf, plain
lively said that she had lost her
tooth, and everything had begun To
30 against her.
