PERIOD OF CHRiST'S BURIAL
SOLEMNLY COMMEMORATIVE

The Bible is so essentially the found
alton and Superstructure of the Ro-
man Catholic religion that there is no
sacrament ceremonial, rite, or tenet
which has not its source in Holy Scrip
lures, more especially in the New Tes-
lament. as recording the earthly life
and ministry of the Saviour. For this
reason extraordinary solemnity is at
tached to the annual devotion of the
Forty Hours Alteration, which OPEN
ed following the 1880 mass in St.
Patrick's church Sunday. This de-
votion, known in Italy as the
Quarant ore, commentaries the for
ty hours during which the body Of our
Lord remained in the Sepulchre.
1t was begun in Milan in 1884, at a
period when that city was suffering
all the horrors attendant on war. A
Capuchin monk, Father Joseph.
learned and holy, called upon the peo-
pie to unite in raising their eyes from
the miseries around them, looking to
heaven for aid. The Forty Hours
Prayer, begun in the Cathedral was
taken up by the other churches of the
city in rotation. The people mean
time attended with fervor at the ap-
pointed prayers, and approached with
great devotion the SaeraHents OF Pen
ance and the Holy Eucharist. History
records that God did harken to the
supplication of the afflicted people, as
in a short time the Emperor Charles
V and Francis, King Of France,
were at the gate of Milan arranging
the articles of peace.
From Milan the devotion was intro
duced into Rome by st. Philip Neri,
in 1884. Now, throughout the Cath
Ole world, the devotion is held an
nually in every parish of each diocese.

Lack of training in the art of home
making has been the greatest single
cause of divorce, according to Miss,

reason, she urges, women and girls
should be given as much consideration
as men in the drive for County Farm
Bureau membership being made this
week in every county in Connecticut,
In this connection Miss Sprague
quotes Alton T. Minor, president of
the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce,
who is strong advocate of home dem
onstratien work.

DUMPING THE BUMPS ON
LAUREL HILL AVENUE

Many were the motorists who en-
ioyed a trip over the new Military
Highway on the east side of the
Thames river on Sunday. and all re-
marked upon the beauty of the trip
and the fine road. But they seemed to
be of one opinion that the enjoyment
of the drive was dampened by the con-
ditiens Of Laurel Hill avenue from the
Laurel Hill bridge to the city line. This
piece of road is in extremely bad con-
dition, full of holes and ruts and
bumps. After leaving the bridge for
a piece from zoo to 800 feet it is like
driving up and down a fight of stairs,
the hummoeks in the road being four
to six inches high. This kind of a
road at this place while unpleasant to
drive over is extremely dangerous ew-
ing to the sharp turn as one APP
proae hes the Laurel Hill bridge.
