OBSERVE FEAST
OF THE EPIPHANY
Special Masses Characterize
the Day at the
Cathedral

The feast of the Epiphany or MANI
festation OF Christ TO the Gentiles, was
impressively celebrated at the Cathe-
dral this morning. There were masses
at 8, 6, and 9 o'clock in the morn
ing
The late mass was solemn high
mass. with the Vicar General, the
Very Rev John A. Lyons, as cele-
brant, assisted by the Rev. James
Grant as deacon and the Rev. Martin
N Ryan, as sub-deacon. The full boy
choir was present and gave the music
of the mass in the Gregorian chant
The Cathedral choir ranks with the
famous choir of ST. Mary's Chicago,
and few other choirs I'm the
country, as correct exponents of this
famous and ancient plain song, which
few cities haYe the opportunity OF
hearing. The 'choi' was at its best
this morning and gave the music
splendidly. The books which the boys
use are interesting, being written with
the square notes seen in mediaeval
manuscripts.
There was no sermon this morning,
as il was the first Friday of the
month, when there is the exposition
of the Blessed Sacrament. The Offer
tory told the special significance Oi
the day. "The kings of Tharsis and
the islands shall offer presents; the
kings of Arabia and Of Saba shall
bring gifts. and all kings Of the earth
shall adore him. all nations shall
serve him"
There will be an election of trus-
tees at the Cathedral next Sunday.
