Duluth: Sunday, May 20, witnessed
a remarkable expression of faith in
and devotion to Our Lord really pre-
sent in the Holy Eucharist All the par
ishes in Duluth, their priests, and the
Bishop of the Diocese took part in the
demonstration. On the grounds of ST.
James's Orphanage three affairs were
erected. The Right Rev. Bishop
carried the Blessed Sacrament in the
procession; Rev. w. l.. Powers was
deacon, Rev. Joseph Cashen, sl1bdea-
con, and Rev. Aquinas knott was mas
ter of ceremonies. Benediction was
given at each of the three affairs. Just
before the last Benediction the Right
Rev. Bishop invited the congregation
to join him in an act of faith in the
Real Presence. Having bewailed the
fact that many had not even heard Of
Jesus present in the Holy Eucharist,
he asked those present to join him in
act of reparation for those who admit
ted the Real Presence, but did not live
up to their belief, and wounded Our
Lord by their GOODNESS, their neglects,
and sometimes by positive sin.

the procession it was fine, the time of
the procession was about the incest
time Of the day, but an hour after it
was over it was raining again.
