MEXICO CITY, July 80.
Roman Catholics Of Mex
leo today gave way to a
great manifestation Of de-
votion to their religion and
grief as the last few hours
slipped by before the new
governmental regTlat ions
became effective.
The extraordinary scenes
Of religious emotion Of the
past fortnight marked by
the flocking Of thousands
to their churches and
shrines, were surpassed as
vast assemblages swamped
the Cathedral in Mexico
City, the shrine of "Our
Lady Of Guadalupe" and
other beloved places Of
worship.
There was a poignant note at these
final services. for tomorrow Roman
Catholic priests will Withdraw from
the performance of their religious Of
fices under the orders of the arch
bishopric Of Mexico. Their action is
Intended as a protest against the gov
ernment's religious regulations, which
they regard as striking at the very
heart of the church in Mexico AS the
day drew to close, the attorney gem
erals office &..nounced that depart
ment of justice agents will seal and
place under government charge all "an-
nexes" of all churches. BY this Is
meant every church office or structure
except actual places of worship, in
cluding the. archbishops and bishops
offices, vestry offices, sacristes and
places where church treasures are
stored. This order is understood to be
for the purpose of preventing the re-
moval of treasures or church property.
1t is maintained by the government
since the reform law Of more than so
longs to the government, although it
has not seized the property and has
allowed the churches to continue in
possession. Barefoot men, women and
children trudged over the rough, sun
baked road to Guadalupe today by the
thousands. Often their feet were bleed
ing. Numbers of gently rurtured wo-
men, unaccustomed to the hardships of
life, tramped under the broiling sun,
telling their beads, and brushing shoul-
ders with sturdy Indian women, Injured
to the elements and hardships.
From every part of Mexico came sim
liar stories of barefoot professions to
favorite shrines or local churches as
special demonstration of grief on the
last day of the priestly services, for
no one knows how long. The number
of priests and the capacity of the
churches were inadequate; many thou
sands waited in vain for the priestly
offices. often there was al heart
broken sob as realization came of in
ability to secure baptism, confirmation
or marriage service.
Great crowds camped all night
around the cathedral in Mexico City
and the Guadalupe shrine and long be-
fore daylight lines were formed at the
entrances. Most of those who came
through the day were disappointed
and tonight wearied and detected, they
dragged themselves away reluctantly.

Afraid in Empty House
When it grew dark, she was a
little afraid in this empty house.
She heard echoes. She fancied
someone stealing behind, clubbing
her over the head. He might
come back and do In q cold

in boiling, insensate anger. She
had read OF such things.
If he returned in this mood he
would kill her. She considered
this. She kept whispering with
harsh. frightened breath: I'm not
afraid-not afraid don't need

Several times she put on her
hat. intending to visit her mother
or one of her married sisters. In

confesses that she is somewhat

matter is that since her son has
