The current New World of Chicago contains an announcement that will interest many in the middle w-pnt. Says that journal: "On May l, 3902, Kt. ' 1 Uev. Hishop Spalding will have served twenty-live years as bishop of the dio- j cese of Teoria, and the event will be I celebrated with the greatest gathering gather-ing of dignitaries of the church Peoria has ever known. In connection with the anniversary will be the consecration consecra-tion of the cathedral, w hich ill be absolutely free of all debt upon that I date. "The consecration ceremonial will be grand and imposing, participated in by clergymen of note from all parts of the United States. Kev. Francis J. O'Heilly, rector of the cathedral, will !have charge of tne arrangements, a matter which necessitates much hard work and .study, and it will be several ! weeks before the details will be given j to the public. It is expected that the I consecration sermon will he preached j by no less a dignitary than Cardinal j Gibbons, and that at the evening services serv-ices the pulpit will be occupied bv a distinguished archbishop of the church." When the Priest Visits Sick. "Wlien the priest is coming to administer admin-ister holy communion in the home, before be-fore lie comes a table, covered with a linen cloth, should be arranged near the bed. On it should be a crucifix, two blessed candles in holders, a small dislj of clean water, a basin of water to wash the priest's hands, and a towel. When t'he priest comes, some member mem-ber of the family should meet him at the door with a lighted candle, genuflect genu-flect to the bless?d sacrament and conduct con-duct him to the sick room.. While the invalid s confession is being be-ing heard the room should be left to the penitent and the priett, but when the iuciiiinsi is aoout to dc administered, all the Catholics in the house should assemble In or near the sick room and adore the Lord. The Paschal Obligation. Here in America the Easter time is much more extended than in the older Catholic countries. It begins with the first Sunday of Lent and ends on Trin- i ity Sunday long enough, in all consciencelong con-sciencelong enougTi for the most inveterate in-veterate procrsistinator. It is not wise to take full advantage of the extreme leniency of the church. We are never obliged to put mere privileges to the utmost test. The spirit of the church is to be Jearned from her laws and not from their exceptions. These are granted us. as Moses granted divorce to the Hebrews, because of the hardness hard-ness of our heart. Holy Thursday is t'he flnnii'prcpi-v tVi inc.t.i.. . r the Eucharist, Easter Sunday is the day of our Lord's triumph. At this time the church would have us all rise to a new life. The most efficacious means of resurrection is through the sacraments of penanca and the holy Eucharist Hence the propriety of discharging dis-charging the Paschal obligation as near as possible to Easter itself. Transcript. Tran-script. Ban on Socialism. Buffalo, X. Y. Bishop Quigley has j issued a warning to Catholics not to j read or sur?ort the Arbeiter Zeitung, which is the organ of the socialists here.

There is -a community of blind sisters in Paris, the Sisters of St. Paul, founded found-ed in 1S53 by Mle. Anne Be-rgunion. Each sightless sister has as her companion com-panion a sister who can see. They sit side by side in the chapel, go to "holy communion together and travel together, to-gether, if need be. The community receive re-ceive blind people of all ages into their house, and divide them into various classes. Ail the inmates have employment employ-ment of some kind. The Passion Play. Chauncey Olcott spent one .summer in Europe and visited Oberammergau. j where he witnessed the Passion Play In reference to it he says "that it is the greates sermon ever preached on earth, and that no one can adequately describe it. Men and women, infidels i at heart, were touched by the soul of the sublime human storv and moral lesson back of this stupendous Christian Chris-tian tragedy. The impersonators of the sacred characters are more than actors: their work is superior to any art. for it combines the truthfulness of life witlr the beauty of ideality, ine siure?ve faith., reliotis fervor' and ' -" iiieiia, are nevona the appreciation of the world at large "Nothing," says Mr. Olcott, "win ever efface the memory of it from mv mind."

Catholic University News. The latest evidence of interest in the university work is shown by the de- j termination of the Dominican Fathers to establish their house of studies near the Catholic linK-ei-sif- fr the .!,,.. .1 tion of their own students. Four acres of land have been purchased on the Bunker Hill road, directly opposite Keane hall, and it is the intention of the Dominican Fathers to erect in the neai future a seminary or house of studies. stu-dies. This means the abandonment of I their serniniary at Somerset, O., and the establishment of a central novitiate- at Washington.
