Lenoen Season In Notre Dane 4
Leurdes Parish

The ecclesiastical year In the Cath
Ollie church begins upon the first Sun
day in Advent It's three principal
feasts are: Christmas, when the birth
OF Christ Is celebrated; Easter, the
day OF His resurrection. and Penticost
when the coming OF the Holy Ghost
Is commemorated. Each OF the three
great feasts has a season OF prepare
ton preceding 1t, as well as subse-
quent commemoration.
Advent Is the season of preparation
before Christmas. The forty days or
IAat are the preparation for Easter,
The preparation for Lent includes the
three Sundays respectfully called Sep
tuagesima (70). Sexagesima (60), and
Quinquagesima (50). They were nam
ed thus because in the early days OF
Christianity many communities began
the fast fifty. sixty or seventy days be-
fore Easter. The Wednesday after
Quinquagesima is called Ash Wednes-
day, because of the ceremony OF
sprinkling ashes upon the foreheads
of the faithful to make them realize
the thought of death. the priest re-
peating the words OF God to Adam,
For dust thou art and unto dust thou
shalt return" (Gen. 3-19). Ashes In
the Old Law were always symbolic OF
penance, the characteristic virtue OF
the season OF Lent. Dob 42-6; Jonah
3-6; Isaiah $3.50
The Lent season begins on Ash
Wednesday, which fs forty-six days
before Easter, including the six Sun
days. The forty days fast OF Lent is
a custom OF Christian antiquity men,
toned by Tertullian "a. d. 99) In his
book on fasting, and by Origen "a. d.
300 in his homlly on Leviticus, In
memory OF our Lords fast Of forty
days before He undertook the work Of
His three years ministry. st. Jerome
in the fourth century speaks OF It as
an Apostolic tradition: I'VE fast, the
whole world agreeing with us, one
Lent, in accordance with the tradition
of the Apostles al letter to Marvella).
At the Church of N. D. de Lourdes
the ceremony of the distribution of
ashes took place at seven o'clock yes
terday morning and at SEVENTEEN
last evening.
Tomorrow is the first Friday of the
month. and communion will be given
at five o'clock and at the seven
o'clock mass. In the afternoon at four
o'clock there will be the stations OF
the cross and in the evening at seven
fifteen the hour of alteration.
The Married Women's Sodality of
this parish are requested to meet next
Sunday to receive Holy Communion.

1918, the purpose of which was to pro-
teet the interests of the United States
in prosecution of the war While the
post office department, through rigid
enforcement of this act, was able to
prevent the dissemination of propagan-
da directed against the government
through the mails, the publishers of
these newspapers and publications
found other ways to get this propa-
ganda into the hands of the readers.
From the date of the signing of the
armistice a wave of radicalism appears
to have swept over the country which
is best evidenced by the fact that since
that date approximately so radical
newspapers have commenced publica-
ton. A large number of these papers
openly advocate the destruction of the
United States government and encour-

Zone of the most potent and far

of radical newspapers and other publ

subtle way of placing this propaganda
before their readers. But the reader
understands what is meant.
