THE DAYS PROGRAM jl h Storv of the Feast Immediate Preceding the Feast i of the Resurrection i i By Rev. Geo Angermaier. Among the many feasts celebrated ’ throughout the ecclesiastical year j there is no time which brings home ; to us the suffering and death of our 1 divine Saviour more conspicuously and 1 there is no time in the ecclesiastical ■ year which is ce»ebrated more solemnly and with more imposing gran- 1 deur of ceremonies and symbals than 1 is the week immediately preceding 1 the feast of the glorious resurrection called Holy Week which begins with Palm Sunday. Early in the morning of this day, Jesus set out from Jerusalem. The Mesiah before being nailed to the cross is to be proclaimed king by the people of the great city; the little children are to make her streets echo with her hosannas to the son of David, and this in the presence of the soldiers of Rjme’s emperor and of the high priests and Pharisees, the first standing under the banner of their eagles; the second dumb with rage As soon as it was known that Jesus was near the city the Holy Spirit worked in the hearts of those Jews who had cr>me, from all parts to celebrate the Feast of the Passover. They go out to meet our Lord, holding palm branches In their hands, and loudly proclaiming him to be king. They that had accompanied Jesus from Bethany join the enthusiastic crowd. Whilst some spread their garments on the)

way, others cut down boughs from the | palm trees, and strewed them along I the road. Hosanna is the triumphant cry, proclaiming to the whole city that Jesus, the son of David, has made his entrance as her king. Today the Jews proclaim Jesus of Nazareth their king and soon after they cry “crucify him, crucify him.” The whole ceremonial function which is on this day celebrated in the Catholic churches all over the world, is divided into three parts, which we will now explain in as few words as possible. These ceremonies date back in the western church to the end of the sixth or beginning of the 7th cen- ! tury, while in the eastern church, in Egypt and Syria we find them already in the 4th and sth century. In England and Normandy as far back as the 11th century the Holy Eucharist was ' on this day carried in procession in . and around the churches.

The first part of these ceremonies begin with the blessing of the palms. It is scarcely necessary to tell that the palms or olive branches, thus blessed, are carried in memory of those wherewith the people of Jerusalem strewed the road as our Savior made his triumphant entry into Jerusalem. The blessing of the palms begins with the chanting of an rutiphon. The celebrating priest then sums up in a following prayer the petitions of the faithful. After this prayer the sub-deacon chants a passage from the book of Exodus, w hich relates how the people ot God, after they have gone forth from Egypt, pitch their tents at Elim, beneath the shade of seventy palm trees. After this lesson the choir sings. A responsory commemorating the Passion of our Lord. The deacon then chants from the Gospel of St. Matthew the history of Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem. The palms of the new Testament entwine with those of the old, in honor of the man, God, who is the connecting link of both.

And now the mystery speaking palms are to receive the church's blessing. The celebrant begins by two scriptural allusions; the first is to Noah, who received an oilve branch, when the waters of the deluge had subsided; the second is to Moses, whose people after quitting Egypt, encamped under the seventy palm trees. Then in the solemn tone of the preface, the eelbrant calls upon all creatures to give praise to the adorable name of Jesus. The prayers which now follow, explain the mystery of the palms, and draw down the blessing of God upon both, them and the faithful who receive and keep them with proper dispositions. The priest completes the blessing of the palms by sprinkling them with holy water and thurifying them with incense, after which follows another short prayer and then the priest distributes the palms to the faithful. During the distribution, the choir reminds us by two antiphons of the enthusiasm of the little children of Jerusalem, who with palms in their hands, sang their loud hosanna to the Son of David. Immediately after the distribution the celebrant concludes this part of the service by another short prayer and then comes the procession. The celebrant having blessed the incense, which according to the custom of the church, always heads a procession and sheds its perfume signifying the odor of virtue and sanc- ! tity along the path that is to be taken. I The procession is headed by the sub-

deacon carrying a cross with an altar boy on each side; then the procession of the little children carrying palms, followed by more altar boys and the celebrant and deacon, all carrying palm branches in their hands; also the people during processing remain standing in their pews, holding palm branches since it is impossible to have them all in the precession. During the procession the choir sings antiphons in honor of Jesus the king ot Israel. During Passion and Holy Week all crucifixes in the church are covereu with purple cloth expressing the humiliation to which our Saviour subjected himself.

After the procession the priests having returned to the santuary vest for the holy sacifice of the mass, which is solemn on this occasion. The introit of the mass is taken from the 21st Psalm, in which the royal prophet expresses the anguish of soul suffered by Jesus on the cross. The epistle of St. Paul to the Philippians is chanted by the sub-deacon and at the words “that in the name of Jesus every knee shall bow" all kneel. The tract which is then read by the celebrant consists of several verses taken from the 21st Psalm, the last words of which were spoken by our Redeemer on the cross. So clear and explicit are the words of this Psalm, that it might almost be called a history, as well as a prophesy of the Passion. On four different days of Holy W’eek the church reads the four evangelists narration of the Passion. In the larger churches this is sung as here in St. Marys church. On Palm Sunday the church begins with the narration of St, Matthew Chap, xxvi and xxvii, who was the first to write the Gospel. To express the sorrow which fills the

hearts of the faithful, the Acolytes do not carry the lights nor is the book incensed. The deacon, who is to take the part of the evangelist, at once begins the mournful history of our Lord’s sufferings and death in a narrative tone, another clergyman acting as subdeacon takes the part of the Jewish rabble and the excitement of the people is expressed in the high pitch of voice in singing his part whilst the cefebrant at the altar takes the part of Jesus singing in a solemn sorrowful tone. At the words “And Jesus again crying with a loud voice yielded up the ghost - ' the deacon pauses and honors the death of our Lord and Saviour by a solemn act of adoration. The priest and the faithful kneel down, and remain for some time in that posi-

tion. The last part of the passion Is reserved for the gospel of the mass and is sung by the deacon with the usual ceremonies and solemnity. The offertory is again a prophesy by David. It foretells the state of abandonment, to which our Saviour was to be reduced in the midst of all his sufferings, and the cruelty of his enemies, who would feed him with gall and vinegar. Thus is he treated who is preparing to give his body for our food, and his blood for our drink. In the communion anthem, the church after receiving into herself the life of Christ, by the chalice of salvation, calls to our mind the other chalice- which Jesus was to drink, in order that he might gift us with immortality. This ends the morning service. We see that the grand ceremonies of the church are in close connection with the life of our Saviour and their symbolical meaning is very expressive. Thus in the afternoon there will be Vespers and benediction as usual. 0 FROM COUNTY JAIL The Petitioner Avers That His Wife Needs His Support —Many Signers

Barney Everett, brother of Michael Everett, who several weeks ago was convicted upon the charge of assault and battery upon the person of Julius Haugk and sentenced to serve six months in the county jail, is circulating a petition in the city in which the release of the prisoner is asked. The reason advanced for the leniency is that his wife needs his support and that he is a hard working man who has always provided for her. A large number of names of good citizens are already on the petition and when a sufficient number have been secured the same will be sent to Governor Hanly, who will be asked to grant Everett’s release. It will be remembered that the convicted man was alleged to have stabbed Julius Haugk in front of the Democrat office after they had indulged in a word combat, in which Haugk demanded that Everett remove his household gods from his (Haugk’s) house, in which he had lived for several months, while working at Haugk’s stone quarry. It is thought that on receipt of the petition. Governor Hanly will write to Judge Merryman to inquire into the condition. Mrs. Everett is almost a daily visitor at the jail and she is anxious that her husband be released so he can support her.
