FEAST OF ASSUMPTION.
Noted In ST. Patrieks Church by Ser
mon and communiops- in Honor Of
The Blessed Virgin.

Preaching Sunday to a large con-
gregation at the 7.30 o'clock mass in
St Patrick's church, the rector, Rev.
John H. Broderick, noted the feast day
being celebrated. the Assumption of
the Blessed Virgin Mary. White it is
not a doctrine Of the Catholic church,
he said, nevertheless 1t has been be-
lieved for centuries that the body of
the Immaculate Mother of the Divine
son of God did not remain in the tomb,
after the manner of other human be-
ings. to submit to natural decay.
One of the earliest writers of the
church, Saint John Damascene, records
that the Blessed Virgin died, sur
rounded by all Of the Saviour's dis
ciples except Thomas. Her body was
placed in the tomb in the customary
way. But when, three days later, St.
Thomas returned from Jerusalem and
expressed a wish to behold her body,
the tomb being opened, it was found
that the body had disappeared. From
that time the belief prevailed that she
who was deemed worthy to bear the
Redeemer was taken bodily into heav-
en-, to share in the glory Of her Son
Catholics in all nations have held
this belief as most logical; and the
Feast of Assumption has always been
one of signal devotion.
That the parishioners of st. Patrick
honor the Blessed Mother of the Saw
our on Lady Day." as 1t has been
long popularity called in England and
Ireland. was demonstrated by the
many hundreds receiving communion,

assistance of Rev. Francis ]. Kuster in
giving the holy eucharist.
