This annual mission. from the second to the third Sunday of Lent, has been feature Of each Lent at St. Paufs for the past sev- eral years During that week the pastor, Father Coyle. and his assistants turn over the parish to the members or one of the many religious orders, and these Mission Fathers conduct series of reii- g.ous exercises. special prayers, services and sermons to stir up the fervor and devotion of the people, and to infuse new spiritual life in the parishioners, old and young.
 last year the Jesuit Fathers had charge, the previous year the Lazarist Fathers conducted the mission, while the year before that the Passionist Fathers aroused the faith and piety or those who attended. The Paulist Fathers were the pioneers in the yearly mission services.
 This will be the first time" said Father Coyle speaking of the mission that the sons of the great St. Dominic will be heard in St Paul's, nor do find in a nasty glance over the archives any mention of Dominican mission dur ing the pastorate of my predecessors, Fathers OReilly and Brown

Pope Innocent III, approved of the establishment and Honorious III, his successor, legalized and confirmed the order The order spread rapidly, and in 1221. when the first general chapter was held, there were already sixty convents in existence in eight provinces, England being one.
 The scholarship of the order has been remarkable. Albertus Maghus, the great scholastic philosopher, and his still great CT pupil, Thomas of Aquin, being the most distinguished scholars.

CONDOLENCE OF
 KING TOO EARLY

London February 10-( Reciprocal News Service.)- )-Does a letter of condolence pe- long to the person to whom it is ad- dressed or to the corpse-if the corpse turns out to be alive? This question has arisen in the famous Plunkctt family of Ireland, known in America through Sir Horace Plunkett and his nephew, Lord Dunsany, the author When the latter arrived in London from America the other day he found awaiting him a letter of coincidence from the King on the death of his uncle, Sir Horace the report hay ing been current in tlie English press for twenty-four hours before it was con- tradicted from Battle Creek, Mich where Sir Horace was resting at the sanitarium
 ''It is rather difficult to say whether an obituary letter of coincidence concerning Sir Horace from the King to me should belong to ire or to Sir Horace,''N Lord Dunsany said. There isslittle precedent to decide such questions of title. For tunately we live in an enlightened age and country. I imagine that in some countries an obituary notice from the King would have to be regarded as final"
 Sir Horace is expected here before the end of the month. and in time to exert his unique influence upon the proposed measure of home rule for Ireland before it is forced through the House of Com mons. The proposal has been severely criticized by the Irish Dominion League and the Irish Statesman, both founded by Sir Horace for the purpose of obtain ing the fullest measure of independence for Ireland compatible with her military and naval security.
