First Communion Day at Corpus
Christi Church

Next Sunday will be gala day for
the Catholics Of Malta, it being first
communion day for class Of thirty
children. For many weeks the
children have been taught under the
able direction of Mrs. j. +. kilduff.
This week regular daily instructions
are being given by Rev. Father Yer
maat. We greatly lament the cor
ruption of the present generation,
the increase Of infidelity and immor
ality, etc. If these complaints are
we'll founded it is evident that a rent
edy must especially be sought in the
education Of the rising generation
and that faith, religion and morality
much be planted. cultivated and pre-
served in the hearts in the young
now. For this First Communion in
the Catholic Church is a principal
means.
The principal enemies that our
times must oppose are naturalism
and materialism in every form,
Against them must be brought out
prominently in science, the super
natural character Of Christianity is
it's origin, faith, life and aims and in
practice, to oppose the gross sensn-
allty, that is everywhere prevalent,
life according to supernatural prin-
! iples-the life Of faith and of grace
must be emphasized and cultivated.
( Now in no institution OF christianity
does it appear more plainly than in
holy communion that the life of the
Christian must be supernatural, mys-
teriously united with God, must pro-
ceed from God and must be nonrished
by God. Therefore the first reception
first communion is always celebrated
III the Catholic Church with the great
est ceremony.
Next Saturday Father Vermaat
will hear confessions all afternoon
and evening and Sunday morning
from 500 to 900 O'Clock. At $3.50
O'Clock the children will march in
procession to church and the se1Nic-
es will begin. The choir has pre-
pared a pretty musical program for
the occasion. For the afternoon at
1900 O'Clock the children will be ell
rolled in the society of Mount Car
mel and the Young Ladies' Sodality
will be organized. Our non-Catho-
lie friends are cordially invited.
