CATHOLIC CHURCHES TO

All Of the Catholic churches OF the
District will be open tomorrow for
private devotions. but the majority
OF the Protestant churches will be
closed. the Pensioners being urged
to offer their prayers in the privacy
of their own homes.
Considerable confusion has arisen
among the pastors of the Protestant
churches as to just how they ough.
to interpret the recent ruling OF the
District Commissioners. which. while
it prohibits church services either in
churches to remain open for the use
of Individual worshipers.
Many of the Protestant pastors
fear that opening the churches might
result in crowds congregating, the
purpose OF the Commissioners being
defeated.
Mgr. c. +. Thomas, speaking for
the Catholic clergy, takes the op-
posite attitude. and does not consld-
er II probable that more than q
dozen persons will be inside the
church at one time. He announces
that all churches OF his faith will
be open from 7:30 to 6, but members
may offer their mass prayers at their

The Rev. DR.. H. W. o. Millipgton
