LENTEN REGULATIONS READ. Congregation at St. Patrick’s Church Hears Bishop Nilan's Admonition to Prepare for Festival of the Resur- rection by Prayer, Fasting and Pen- ance. Sunday, Candlemas day, the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Vir~ gin, also Quinquagesima, about 50 days before Easter, the blessing of the can- dles took place before the high mass in St. Patrick’s church, Rev. Willlam F. Cavanaugh, who sang the mass also | biessing the candles. The preacher was Rev. Thomas A. Grumbly, who re- ferred to the litany of the Catholic church as requiring the use of candles Wherever the Blessed Sacrament may be, the light typifylng Christ, who is the Light of the world. Rev. Father Grumbly's sermon was on the Impossibility of separating mor TURKISH BLEND CIGARETTES The puzest and most whole- some of good tobaccos.

At the offertory Miss_Florence Northrop sang Abt's Ave Marla, with flutelike clearness and beautiful phrasing, her voice filling the great auditory without effort, in # way which won her many expressions of appreciation after the service: At all the masses the circular lef~ ter from Rt. Rev. John Joseph Nilan, bishop of the diocese, was read, be ginning: The Lenten regulations may be sum- marized as foliows: (1) The sick and all who are in delicate health are not bound o either fast or abstain. (2) The aged and those under twen- ty-one years of age are not bound to fast, but must abstain on abstinence days. (3) The abstinence days for the la- boring class and all members of the household of laborers are Fridays, Ash Wednesday, and Wednesday and Sat- urday of Holy week. (4) The abstinence days for all others are the Wednesdays and Iri- days and the second and last Satu days of Lent. (5) All who are engaged in an ex- hausting occupation are not restricted in the number of meals and may eat meat at any meal except on abstin- ence days. (8) Those who keep the fast are permitted to take only one full meal a day. In the morning, however, they may take a cup of tea, coffee or choc olate with a piece of bread. In the evening they may take a light colla- tion. At this collation it is jawful to use fish, eggs, cheese, butter and milk, but the quantity of solid food Should not exceed ten ounces. Meat is allowed only at the principal feal. This meal may be taken in the evening and the collation at noon. _ On Sundays there is no_restriction in the use of meat, but both meat and fish cannot be eatén at the same meal on any day of Lent As a fitting preparation for the cel- ebration of the festival of the Resur- rection of Christ, the church from very ancient times has set apart a period of forty davs to be devoted in a spe- cial manner to penance, prayer and meditation. The rigorous fast of for- mer days, owing to the conditions of modern life, has been modified, and the use of flesh meat formerly allowed only on the Sundays is now prohibited only on a few days in Lent. The call to prayer, however, far from having ceased, is' more urgent than ever be- fore. The church does not dispense from precepts that are divine: to dis- regard the warning “to wateh and pray” to fail a willing vietim to the wiles of Satan, who is abetted by tha vesfivenacs of bussan nasaions, WEDDINGS. 8chulz—Heigl.
