MISSION IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

Next Sunday, Sept. 11, an eight days mission will open in the Catholic church. During the mission practical instructions are given to all on the Decalogue and the Precepts of the church, and especially on the great eternal truths, such as Destiny of Man, Immortality of the Human Soul, the Malice of Mortal Sin, Death and Judgment, Hell and Heaven, and what God has done for us and does for us, and what we must do in order to be saved. In the course of the mission services the missionary will speak on the Sacraments, particularly Penance and Holy Eucharist. Conferences for the different states of life are given. In fact a mission is a time to learn what the Catholic church teaches, what God wants us to do in order to be saved. Its purpose is to bring the people nearer to God and thus help to uplift mankind. No- attacks on other demoninations are made, but an explanation of our own is clearly given. A most cordial invitation is herewith extended to all nonCatholics as well as to Catholics. The mission opens next Sunday- at high-mass at 9 a. m. In the afternoon there will be a special meeting of the married people at 3 p. m. At 7.30 p. m. a powerful mission-sermon will be delivered.

The morning services, Mass and instruction, are at 9 a. m., the evening services with main mission sermon at 7:30. The missionary Father in charge is well known for his eloquence in the East as well as in the West. — The Pastor, Father C. Daniel.
