Bishop McDonnell will assist on the throne at the Inst mnss to-morrow morning in St. Pro-Cathedral and will bless the palms, afterwards going in procession around the church, accompanied by the assisting clergy and the seminarians of the diocese. The latter will sing the gospel of the day in relays, because it forms the longest gospel of the year, and deals with the Passion of Our Lord from the tune of His triumphant entry into Jerusalem, known in church annals as Palm Sunday, until his ignominious death on the cross.

Good Friday. tlnireh nrges the faithful to read the In consequence, the with the priest at the mass Uioy attend to-morrow.

It is on Holy Thursday that die blessed a.nra-ment is taken to a side altar, which is alw a sumptuously dot orated On Good Fralav the mans of the pro-sanctified is celebrated the feaime of which is tiie advocation of the cross, the officiating clergy and altar hoja removing their shoes before kisMng the cross, after which the faithful approach the com inuniou rail and kiss the cross a ho In the evening there will be a special sermon on the passion in many churches.

and the Rev. lohn L. Belford will deliver special Lenten sermons to-morrow-evening at the Church of Our Lady of Good Counsel, on Putnam, near Ralph avenue, und at St. Augustine's Church, at Sixth avenue and Sterling place, respectively. In his sermon of last Sunday night Father Campbell ridiculed the theory put forth hy some Boston physicians recently that the human soul had a material existence.

He declared that it had a spiritual existence only; that it constituted the most sacred relationship between God and man. and that the element of the divinity in the latter found its highest expression in the soul. Father Campbell also said that one out of every four residents of Greater New York was a Catholic, and that members of the Qhurch, therefore, should mate themselves good and useful members of society, and be an example of right living to their Protestant brethren. At the last mass to-morrow in the Church of the Sacred Heart, on Clermont, near Park avenue, of which the Rev. John Nash, LL.

is pastor, tha United States Marine Band will render aalactions. The Rev. William T. McGuirt. pastor of St.

Michael's Church, st Fourth avenue and Forty-second stret, delivered an address at the St. Patrick's day banquet of the Celtic Club on Mondiiv eveutng, and in the course of it declared that he saw no harm iu ball playing on Sunday afternoon. The poaitiou which Father McGuirl assumed on- 'Jus question practically represents the views of 'he Catho lie clergy, who, convinced tha' 'he working classes will seek recreation on Sun day, urge them to avail thenielves ot that form least iiuely to injure them selves or disturb the lommunity Arnoug Catholic priests the belief pi avails that if the. rich will spend their Sundii eitbet b) taking a ride in a carnage Ut auto mobile, or by playing golf oi lawn tennis, ot by taking a sail the pool young man who toila all waak ought be allowed to indulge in pleasurable pursuits also, and especially either partldcpating in a gams of basetah or witnessing one, provided be attenda chnrcb before doing go The death recently of the Rev. Frederick Wayrich.

tha well-known Re-demptionist. wa received with many expressions of regret throughout Brooklyn, where the deceased labored tor many years. Father Wayrich was a close personal friend of the lata BiBhop Longh-lin, and delivered the eulogy on the occasion of the latter'a funeral. In 1896 he was pastor of the Church of Our Lady ot Perpetual Help, at Fifth avenue and Fifty-ninth street this borough Fathei Wnyrleh was In hie seventy-third year when he died and had he lived until next year he would have celebrated the Gftu-th anniversary of bis ordination. Missionary priests, because of their arduous labors, frequently break down before their fiftieth year, but the fact that Father Wayrich spent nearly half a century in active missionary work.

Is indeed remarkable His piety as a priest his eloquence si a nrescher, and hit goodness as a man, will forever beautify tha paget of the history of tbe Redemp-t ion tst Order. There will be a rennion of ths alumni of St Charles' Colley at KIHcott City op Jon 18, undet th pttrontgt Bishop Monaghan, of Wilmington, p. An slum bus of this college is ths Rev.
