night But Other Services OF the Day
The Same as Usual.

The attendance at the mission,
which is being conducted this week
at St. Mary's Pro-Cathedral by the
Dominican Fathers Thuente and Eek
ert was the largest it has been thus
far and the constantly increasing in
terest in the sermons Of these gifted
speakers is attracting larger crowds
to each service.
The subject of Father Thuente's
sermon last evening was The Holy
Eucharist" Father Thuente said that
the real presence of Jesus Christ Is
the fundamental and distinctive doc
trine of the Catholic church. TO H.
lustrate this truth the speaker re-
ferred to the sixth chaper OF St.
John:
Il am the living bread which came
down from heaven. II any man eat
of this bread he shall live forever
and the bread that l will give Is My
flesh for the life of the world"
At the Lords Supper Jesus fully
explained and fulfilled the promise.
Jesus sat down with the twelve and
said With desire have l desired to
eat this Tasch with you before | suf-
fer" Loving His own until the end,
Jesus took bread blessed and broke
it and gave it to his disciples and
said:
"Take We and eat; this is My body
and taking the chalice with wine he
gave thanks and gave it to them say
ing. Drink We al of this, for this is
My Blood"
The Catholic church is monument
as great as the world and as high as
the heavens, built not of gold nor sill
yer. but of millions of free, intellec-
tual beings, the living image of the
Blessed Trinity possessing, by bowling
their heads and bending their knees,
by singing their hymns and canticles
of alteration, by giving their blood and
giving their lives, that they believe in |
the real presence of Jesus Christ. !
This great living monument rests :
upon the doctrine Of the real presence
as upon a foundation Of stone. This
doctrine is the very soul of her priest !
hood, her sacrifices, her affairs. her
her monasteries. Could this ,
have stood for nineteen |
hundred years on an error or false !
hood, on bread and wine and not on
flesh and blood. the sacred humanity
and divinity of Jesus Christ?''
