ARCHDIOCESE OF ST. PAUL.

Cemetery Sunday: The Most Rev
erend Archbishop presided at the SER
vices in Calvary cemetery, st. Paul,
last Sunday afternoon and Right Rev
erend Bishop Lawler oficiated at st.
Mary's cemetery, Minneapolis At
Calvary the public prayers began at
three o'clock; but many thousand peo-
pie had gathered long before that
hour to offer their private devotions
for the dead The services began at
the mortuary chapel with the chant of
the Liberia by a choir of Seminarians
under the direction of Reverend Fran
els Missia. Then followed the public
prayers for the dead, the blessing of
the graves and the sermon by the
Archbishop. He spoke of the Catholic
cemetery as a place that ought to be
familiar to the living through frequent
visitation-a place where the Catho-
lie should hold frequent converse with
his beloved dead. The services were
closed with public procession through
the cemetery led by the priests and
seminarians. All of the people partici-
pated in the procession and the ros-
airy was recited during it's progress,
At st. Mary's cemetery, in Mime
apolis, the same order of exercises
was followed. Bishop Lawler blessed
the graves and preached the sermon.
More than 10000 people participated
in the devotions.
College of ST. Thomas: The large
enrolment with which the College be-
gan the school year continues to grow
from day to day. So far, all previous
records have been broken. The in
crease is chiefly in boarders, and is
due in part to the number of students
who have come from more distant
points than in past years. The follow
ing states are now represented in the
College: Arizona, Illinois, Iowa, Ken
lucky, Minnesota, Missouri, Manitoba,
Montana, Michigan, New York, Ne
braska, North Dakota, Ontario, Penn
sylvania, South Dakota, Saskatche-
wan, Washington, Wisconsin.
The unique advantages which st.
Thomas offers as Catholic military
college, combining, as it does, all that
is best in Catholic training with all
that is best in military discipline, are
each year making wider appeal and
attracting to the College a splendid
class of young men from all parts of
the country.
