Mission in the Catholic Church.

Next Sunday, Sept. 11, an eight-days’ mission opens in the Catholic church. During the practical instructions are given to all On the decalogue and the precepts of the Church and especially on the great eternal truths: Destiny of Man; Immortality of the Human Soul; The Malice of Mortal Sin; Death and Judgment; Hell and Heaven, and What God has done and still does for us and what we must do in return in ordeT to be saved. In the course of the mission services, the missionary will speak on the Sacraments, particularly Penance and the Eucharist. Conferences for the different states of life are given. In fact, a mission is a time to learn what the Catholic church teaches and what God requires of us. Its purpose is to bring the people nearer to God and thus help to uplift'mankind. No attacks on other denominations are made, but an explanation of our own is clearly given. A most cordial invitation is extended to all non-Catholics as well as to Catholics.

The mission opens next Sunday at high mass, 9 A. M. In the afternoon there will be a special meeting of the married people at 3 o’clock. The same day and every day of the week from Sept 11th to 18th, there will be special mission services with a powerful sermon at 7 P. M. The morning services, Mass and instruction will be at 9 o’clock. So every day during the whole mission, special sermons will be delivered by an eloquent missionary Father at 9 A. M. and at 7:30 P. M.
