A SPECIAL PROGRAM
The Mirrors editorial suggestion
last week, that the inmates of the
old and new prisons take up the Go
to-church-Sunday movement of the
outside world, and attend chapel
next Sunday morning, has met with
general approval from all who have
been approached in the matter, and
Judging from the reports received
from the various shop contributors
of both prisons, there will be gen.
eral turn out to services on this one
Sunday at least: in fact, the largest
on record. Ftom all sides comes
enthusiastic sanction of the idea.
Communications have been re-
ceived from men not in the habit
of attending services, in fact some
who have refrained from doing so
for years, have written stating that
they will be found in line next Sun
day, just to show that they appreciate
the Mirror and what it fathers, be-
cause it is THEIR PAPER.
One of these correspondents has
offered the suggestion that we call it
MIRROR SUNDAY, and if it will make
the occasion any more dear to you
we will do so; depending upon you,
in whose interest this paper is pub
lished, to support us by lending your
presence at chapel Sunday morning.
We have conferred with the chap
lains of both prisons in the matter.
and they have expressed the great
est satisfaction in the plan. and
promise to do all in their power to
make Mirror day one long to be re-
membered by the inmates of the in
stitution.
Although the time is rather short,
arrangements are now being made
for special musical program as a
feature of the services at both pris-
ons, in which talent of exceptional
merit will participate; and in order
that the inmates may more thor
oughly enjoy the privilege of partic-
ipating, hymns familiar to us all
even from our childhood days-will
be sung, including; Nearer My God
to Thee,' Abide With Me-" MY
Faith Looks Up to Thee," Onward
Christian Soldiers Jesus Lover of
My Soul" etc., hymns that will no
doubt take us back to happier days,
when perhaps as children we sang
them at mothers side.
The Services
At the old prison the services
will be conducted by Rev. G. E..
Benson, who will deliver sermon
appropriate to the occasion, which
will be well worth hearing. The
orchestra will render a number of
late selections and special music
will be an attractive feature; well
known lady soloist having been in
vited to participate.
At the new prison the ladies con-
nected with the Christian Science
church are using every effort to
make the exercises the most at
tractive ever held here. In addi-
ton to the regular services of the
church, an address will be delivered
by a prominent speaker, whose
reputation as an orator is national
in it's scope. Besides, fine musi-
cal program has been arranged
which includes several solos by
prominent vocalists.
In addition to the above services,
mass will be said in the auditorium
of the new prison at the usual hour.
Rev. Father Corcoran, Catholic
chaplain, officiating; and all follow
ers of that faitl are particularly
urged to particip re.
AS stated above, we have received
quite number of communications
from inmates commencing our 60
to-church movement. Not single
voice has been raised against it.
The boys all realize in their hearts
