FORTY HOURS DEVOTION.

The solemn closing of the Forty
Hours Devotion last Sunday was the
most beautiful ever held in the
Church of the Holy Name of Mary.
The church was filled to it's full
caDacity. which was especially graft
flying, considering the cold weather.
The men were more numerous than
ever and they made most impressive
appearance as, with lighted taper in
hand, they marched around the
church and lined up at the altar rail-
ing for Benediction.
The sanctuary was the admiration
Of all present, especially of the
clergy, who. though they have seen
many decorations, declared those of
the Holy Name Church the prettiest
and richest they had ever seen.
Father Cassagne is to be congratu-
lated on his good taste and hard
work in making our sanctuary a spot
of beauty seldom surpassed in splen-
lor in any church.
The ceremonies were in charge of
Very Rev. Father Larkin, s. NJ, who
attended to every detail, and under
his able direction the whole services
were performed with the utmost re-
ligious decorum. Very Rev. j. Bou.
dreaux. chancellor of the diocese, was
the celebrant. He was assisted by
Very Rev. T. J. Weldon, c. NJ, of ST.
Joseph's Church. as deacon, and Rev.
w. P. Ponet, c. NJ, as sub-deacon.
Very Rev. Martin G. Hanley, c. NJ.
pastor of st Stephens, preached the
closing sermon. which was a master
piece of eloquence and practical re-
ligion. Father Hanley is fluent and
forceful speaker. Filled with the
spirit of God and the desire to do his
fellowmen good, he thrilled his au-
dience with his noble and soul-stir-
ring thoughts. The comments made
by those who were fortunate enough to
hear him were most fiattering. 1t was
Father Hanley's first appearance in
Algiers, but he has made a lasting
and it is hoped that he
will some over the river more often
now that he has become acquainted.
