PASSION SUNDAY
AND REASONS FOR
ITS OBSERVANCE
Special Services in Roman Cath
ole Churches Commemorate
Sad Event Tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be Passion Sunday.
1t is so named because on this day
the Pharisees and the chief priests in
council came to the conclusion to put
u Lord to death. 1t was on the Fri
aav before He raised Lazarus from the
grave and they came on Saturday and
fold it in the temple. The Sabbath
ended at shutdown among the Jews.
When the sun went down that day
their Sabbath was finished.
IT was the first day of the month.
toward evening, and they resolved to
put our Lord to death. For that reason
He hid Himself, and to commemorate
these things towarG evening, the cross,
the pictures and images in the Roman
Catholic churches are yelled. The law
of the church relating to this yelling
of the cross. pictures and images Is so
strict thai even when the Feast of the
Annunciation comes in Passion Week
they are not uncovered.
Thus after the seven weeks of the
S~eptuagesima season and of Lent,
which typify the seven ages of the
world according to Catholic writer's,
we HON CO1iiS W lAC RAtI1A ~ ~
the death and funeral of our Lord. Two
weeks are devoted to His passion, be-
cause He had suffered for two peoples,
the Jews and the Gentiles; because He
was foretold to come in the two condi-
tions of Gods people, before the aw
of Moses and after the giving of the
law.
again, there are two weeks, as there
49, fura FToSt n1pntS nna before He
came and one in which He suffered.
From this time till Trinity Sunday
there is no commemoration of the
saints. for the whole church is COM
pletely taken up with the mysteries of
our Lord.
1.-THE yelling also signifies the humil-
iation of our Lord in His passion, when
in His suffering He yelled His divinity,
and because from this time, when the
Jews tried to put Him to death, He hid
from them"
The wells are not removed until Eas-
ter Saturday, two weeks hence.
