brother having removed a shovelful

Why Romanists Go
to Church on Sunday

Many Protestants are impressed
by the regular attendance upon
mass Of Roman Catholics. Espe-
cially the early rising to be present
at the first mass on Sunday morn
ing is taken as proof of religious
zeal. No doubt those who rise at
six o'clock in the morning are
among the most jealous in their reli-
gious life. But fesC Protestdnts are
atOdrs of the pressure that secures
the large congregations at mass
They do not know that in the Ro-
man Catholic church It is a "mor-
tap sin not to attend mass on Sun
day. There are venial sins and NOR
tai sins recognized by Roman prac-
tice. When a mortal sin Is commit
ted the culprit has specially severe
penance to perform before he can be
absolved. Therefore, to remain in
"a state Of grace" the Roman Cath
olic MUST GO TO CHURCH AT
LEAST ONCE EVERY SUNDAY.
That this compulsory attendance
is irksome to many Of them is shown
by the popularity Of the shorter
masses, and those at the most con-
venient hours. In Montreal the
churches have been holding a mass
at 1880. 1t wGs the shortest ssrp-
ice Of tho day. So many took dd-
vantage of this opportunity to es-
cape "mortdp sin that the arch
bishop has stopped this service, and
sent pastoral letter TO all his priests
insisting upon a short sermon at
every seTvice.
Among Protestants there are nc
such regulations. Absence from the
Sunday service does not require a
confession to the minister, nor does
it carry with it q penalty more OF
less grievous. Men and women &c
to Protestant churches because they
want to, not to escape penance
While this may result in smalle,
congregations it must be admitted
that the motive is higher, and indi.
Gates deeper religious life on the
part of those who do attend.-Th,
