Attracting Large Congregations-Th
 Question Box Noteworthy Feature.

Unusual interest is manifested in the non Catholic mission being given by Father Dolan and Father Downes, at St. James church this week. Their sermons are explanatory of Catholic doctrine and teaching and are highly instructive, but the feature of the mission that is attracting the most att teDtion, both among Catholic and non- Catholics is the answers that are be- ing given relative to Catholic church matters that are being inquired about through the question box. Questions are being answered nightly by Father Downes. Some sample ones are as fol- lows: Will you kindly explain the mil raculous conceutior of the Blessed Vir- gin Mary? Will you give some scien- tific proof that there is a God? Does the Roman Catholic church ever grant an absolute divorce? Why do not priests wed? Does the Roman Cath o1ic church allow divorced persons to continue as conlmunioants of that church? What is the difference be- tween the Roman Catholic church and the Orthodox Greek church. Other questions are relative to confession of sins and as to the nature of God as the Catholic church conceives him. The answers are followed with keen atten- ton by congregations that are surpris- ingly large.
 Tuesday evening the subject of the sermon was. Why Confess Your Sins to a Priest?
