Rome, Dec. 23.-Pope Plus XI soon
will issue a so called 'ConstitutiOn in the
Latin language, making known the de.

possibility of gaining the Jubilee lndul-
qences for the period of six months after
the closing Of the Holy Year, as was ex-

will announce the rules by which the
Catholics of the whole world may avail
themselves of the indulqences that in
Jubilee Year are only gained by the pill

liz this document the Pope will make
an appeal to The bishops and clergy so
that with their proved diligence, they will
see that the wish of the Holy Father be
fully realized.
ALL FAITHFUL INVITED.
The gaining of the indulgences is ex-
tended to all the faithful no matter in
what part Of the world they live. and
UkO within six months from the publica-

church in other pats of the diocese and
three other churches to be determined by
the bishop or parish-priest or priest with
authority in rural places, once a day for
fifteen days and then confess and com.
municate.
In those places where four churches do
not exist the Holy Father gives faculties
to the bishops to designate a lesser num-
Der, or should there be only one it must
be visited sixty times during the fifteen
days.
These who travel by sea or land return
irg TO their homes after the six months
have passed may gain the same indulgen-
ces by visiting, fifteen times, the cathe.
