d Lent, And Brilliant Mission Toh ' Take Plate Of Gaiety In St.

in John'd lDoainican Fathers To Condu t

One Week Mission in St. John Cath•licChurcho The 1914 Carnival season of

mirth, merriment, and revelryhas passed intohiatory, theL.nten season was ushered n on0 Ash Wednesday, with its gray0 thoughts, and wholesome warn-

ings the days of penance havearrived, and the obligation

of all devout Catholics toabstain from all worldly amuse-mnnts, and to observe the fastsand abstinences of the Church isnow at hand,

In the Catholic Church Lent.began Wednesday morning withthe Ash Wednesday servic4i and -'despite the inclement weathermany attendad.

Besides the regular Lentenservices in the St. John the Bap-tist Catholic Church, what pro-mises to be most brilliant andinteresting will be the one weekMlission conducted by two mostable and prominent.Fathers ofthe Dominican Order.

Rev. Father Charles Richard,the kind; devoted and belovedRector of the St. John the Bap.tist Catholic Church in an inter-viewwith Le Meschacebe a fewJays ago made the followir-'3tatemlent:

"The principal planterp 2.00promised and offered e 1.00help in furnishing, way 2.00means of transfer aid t-. 1 0;ation for those who i, 5h00means and ways at all to a 500Many thanks to them. May- 1 00the Almighty bless and rew J:hem for their good will is fpr.Turing the greatest Glory of God'asmd the Salvation of souls." inFrom the above statement ofur Beloved Father Richard, noMan, Lady, or Child living with-in a reasonable radiusef the: St..John Church will be able to givevalid excuse for not attendingwvery one of these most Instruc-tive, and banefitial sermonsthroughout the Mission.

It is indeed a most Happy pri-vilege and a pleasant duty for"Le Meschacabe" to chronicle "tthe most important announce-ment of this Grand Mission.

The whole People of our dearParish are strongly invithrough this medium, and all arrespectfully requested to attend24.y.nd to follow all the instrqctior&

given during the Mission.Remember the.-Mission begins

Sunday March, 8th at High Massand will end on March 15th. in-cluslvely.
