little different from the usual
Thanksgiving Day talk
How many Indians are there left
In the United States Uncle Harry

There are over 100. 100000 peo-

and 245.0O0 OF these are Indians.
Most Of them dress just as we do,

est DAYS Of the church and Is prac-
t.sed in every country in the world.
1t is In honor OF the Blessed Euchsr-
ist, which perpetuates the Last sup
per. This sacrament Is the center
OF attraction OF the Christian
Church; il Is the Christians EN-
manuel, God with us. Therefore. II
IS that during the Forty Hours, the
Blessed Sacrament is enscouoed on
a throne above the high altar, and
banked with lighted tapers and
plants and flowers; its sanctuary
beautiaed with golden candelabra
and the clergys vestments OF cloth
OF gold; its music selected both from
modern masters and from the chants
Of old; and the Christ OF the Taber-
necle; like the Christ who entered
the Holy City on the first Palm sun
day, is carried in triumphal process
sion through the sisles Of the
church. while the little children sing
and spread flowers along the way.
In Catholic countries, these process
eions pass through the streets OF
the cities, and the highest dignitsr-
les OF Church and state Join the |
ranks.
The Forty Hours" commemorate /
the forty hours Christ spent in the |
grave between .. m. OF Good FRI
day and A m. OF Easter. The
faithful, who hocll TO the house Of
God 10 spend a few moments in
alteration, meditation and prayer

OF petition for needs OF both body
and soul. Spiritually. II is an "au

Of Kings.
The season OF Advent which
starts tomorrow, gives special
bent and solemnity 10 the Forty
Hours Devotion. Advent is the per-
od OF four weeks that precede
and II typines the 1000
-ears OF expectation and preparation
Tor the coming OF the Messiah. who
was TO be born in Bethlehem, "the
,ity OF David"
In the Christian Church. Advent
season prepares for three-fold
coming OF Christ; namely. His COM
ing as the Babe OF Bethlehem into
this world; His coming into souls
through prayer and sacramento; and
His coming at the General Judg-
ment, at the end OF the world, TO
render 20 every man according 10
His works. Hence, II IS that for
