SIGNIFICANCE OF GOOD FRIDAY.
Good Friday Is the day of desolation in
the calendar of the Church, and the serv
ices of this day are those of Borrow, The
altar, which was stripped of Its ornaments
on Holy Thursday, contains nothing but
the crucifix, now veiled In black Instead cf
purple and six candlesticks. The sanc
tuary Is barren, even the carpet being
taken away, and the candles .are not
lighted until the latter part of the service.
To enter Into the spirit of the service on
Good. Friday and to appreciate fully the
meanings of Its various parts, It must be
remembered that this la tne only day of
the year on which no sacrifice Is offered.
On this day the priest does not stand, so
to speak. In the place of Jesus Christ and;
speak in Hts name and with His power,
but rather as the spokesman and repre
sentative of the faithful. As a consequence

of this, they follow and take part In th
various acta of reparation the priest per
forms. This Is the keynote to a proper
understanding of the ceremonies.
Tho service of this day consists of a
series of distinct actions. They are divided
Into four parts History, containing the
Prophecies and the Passion according to
St. John; Supplication, containing public
prayer for all sorts nnd conditions of
men; Reparation, containing the unveiling
nnd "adoration of tho Cross," and the
Masi of the Presanctlfled
The choir and sacred ministers ap
proach tho sanctuary In silence. Neither
incenso nor lights are carried before them
nnd the vestments nre of black. On tho
altar Is neither missal nor altar cloth.
When tho sacred ministers reach the sanc
tuary. Instead of beginning with the cus
tomary public prayer, they prostrnto them
selves on tho ground In silence, while a
cloth and the book aro laid upon the altar.
They then rise and at once proceed to
read the lessons and collects, which bring
before the congregation the Paschal Lamb,
tho type of the Lamb of God. These les
sons are a preparation for tho Passion,
which Is St. John's account of the tcrrlblo
events of this great day. The Passion Is
sung by three deacons (or priests vested
ns deacons) and the choir. One deacon
takes the part of chronicler nnd slnss all
tho narrative of tho tivaugellstii Another
deaconAknown as tho "Chrlstus." sings In
n low, plaintive chant the words spoken
by Christ Himself. Tho third sings In a
high pitch tho words of Pilate, Judas and
Calaphas. The choir sings the words and
exclamations of tho crowd.
THE PRAYERS
The second part of ths servlco consists
of supplication and petition. The Idea
of the Church In this action Is to make
Intercession with God on this day for all
classes and conditions of men, The
Church bids her children to pray at all
times for tho conversion of sinners nnd
evlldoors, but on Good Friday sho makes
publlo an official prayer for those who
are "enemies of tho Cross of Christ."
The celebrant sings eight prayers, each
of which Is prefaced by a few words to
show its object Before each prayer tho
deacon bids the congregation kneel for
n moment, and tho Bilbdcacon bids them
rise. This Is done to symbolize by bodily
nctlon union In the petition made by tho
priest In the name of tho people. The
prayers In their order aro for the "spouso
of Christ" tho church of God; for the
Vicar of Christ, tho Pope; for bishops,
priests and other servants of the Church ;
for tho catechumens; for nil In tribulation
and danger; for heretics and schismatics;
for the Jews, and lastly, that tho charity
of the Church may embrace all creatures
for whom Jesus shed His blood, comes
tho prayer for pagans. Before tho
prayer for the Jews tho deacon refrains
from bidding the congregation to genu
flect, becauso tho Jews turned this mark
of adoration Into an Insult against Christ
In tho crowd of Pilate's palace.
UNVEILING OF THE CROSS.
The third action In tho service la repara
tion. The Church desires her communi
cants to make what reparation they can
to Christ for the Ignominy of His Passion
10 innsi lor me ignominy oi ms x-assion
by showIne nonor nnd veneration tor the
cross In memory of His crucifixion. Ac
cordlngly, the celebrant takes off his clia
suble. tho Bymbol of his priestly dignity.
In order to be tho first to humble himself
on this day of mourning. Ho receives the
veiled cross, and, standing at the side of
tho altar, ho uncovers a small part, rais
ing It slightly that tho congregation may
see, and chants in a low voice: "Behold
the wood of the cross upon which hung
tho salvation of tho world"; and all kneel
to pay homage to the sign of our redemp
tion. Mounting ncaror tho altar, tho priest
goes through tho samo ceremony a second
time ; and then, reaching tho centro of tho
altar, he removes tho veil entirely, nnd
lifting the cross aloft, chnnta In a higher
key the samo words a third time. In mem
ory of our Saviour's words: "When I shall
have been lifted up, I will draw all things
to myself." By this gradual uncovering
of the cross Is represented the gradual
preaching to the Jews and nfterward to
the Gentiles tho great mystery of the
Crucifixion.
The celebrant then places tho crucifix
on a purple cushion at the foot of the
altar and goes to tho side, where ho re
moves his shoes, for the place whereon
he stands Is holy ground, and then goes
to kiss the figure that represents his dying
Saviour. As he approaches he kneels
threo times and finally kisses devoutly
tho symbol of our redemption. All who
are present follow his example, the con
gregation after the day's principal serv
ice Is over.
During this ceremony the choir sings
In plaintive chants tho "Repronches," the
rebukes, loving and gentle, addressed by
the Redeemer to tho Jews.
The candles on the altar are now lighted
In reverence for tho coming presence of
the Blossed Sacrament. The clergy go In
procession to the altar of repose and bring
back to the high altar the Blessed Sacra
ment, which has been reserved there In a
challco since tho Mass of Holy Thursday.
During the procession tho choir sings tho
"Vexilla Regis."
On Good Friday alone throughout the
Christian year the Catholic Church sus
pends the offering of the Holy Sacrifice
of the Mass that the thoughts of the
faithful may bo wholly taken up with tho
contemplation of the one sacrifice which
was consummated on this day on Calvary.
The Blessed Sacrament, which the cele
brant receives on Oood Friday, was conse
crated (or presanctlfled) on Holy Thurs
day. Consequently, since thero Is no ac
tual sacrlflco on this day, this part of the
service is known as the "Mass of the Pre
sanctlfled." CHICAGO'S BATHING CENSOR

POWER OF THE CROSS, THEME
OF NOON-DAY LENTEN' TALK
Dr. Wnshburn Defines tho Real Rorces
of Christianity
"The Stop, Look nnd Listen of Good
Friday should save us men nnd our
times," said the Rev. Dr. Washburrt7 who
spoke today at tho noon-day Lenten ser
vlces at Old Christ Church, 2d street
abovo Market Dr. Washburn took for
his test, I Corinthians 1-23: "Wo preach
Christ crucified, unto them which are
called tho power of God nnd tho wisdom
of God."
Unworthy conceptions of Ood under
mine religion, ho said. False sense of
values weaken character. Christ was
crucified for tho salvation of men. All
the mighty. Inexhaustible available dy
namics of the moral and spiritual realms
center In and radiate from the Cross.
Tho big, powerful things of tho material,
mechanical world are puny In comparison.
Tho Ideals, motives, points of view and all
tho Invisible forces that control nnd wield
persons nnd masses, as a giant handles
his tools, flow from the regnant King of
Calvary; and because tho Individual Is
gripped and turned about and impelled
on n new course by Him who hangs there.
Tho reach and grasp of tho Crulclfled Is
measureless; let it find you and mo to
day. "A WORD OP VICTORY"
Lord's Word on the Cross So-called in
Lenten Sermon
"It Is finished. The sixth word of our
Lord on tho cross was a word of victory,"
said tho Rov. C. Armand Miller, nt Old
St. John's Lutheran Church, Race below
Gth street, at the noonday Lenten service
today.
"Tho volj Is ront In twain," said Doctor
Miller, "nnd tho holy of holy lies open to
our access, No need of penance, of tears,
of deeds, of works that wo can do, Our
sins are rxplated. There Is no other
merit, no other satisfaction, no other hope
than this of which Ho tells us, once for
all, 'It Is finished.' Ills redemption was
finished. To nccept the finished work of
Christ, tho complete redemption Is to livo
In Him forever.
"We will not dishonor Him as If Ho had
but partially and Imperfectly done tho
work committed ,to Him. We will praise
Him that He has done It all. Tho musla
of His words will never ccaso. 'It Is f.-
Ishcd. "

"Man lifted Christ to the cross," said
the Rev. H. Percy Silver today In speak

Tho speaker declared that man needed
to be lifted up where he could see. "We
In faith should rafse ourselves on the
cross and look at life with tho eyes of
the Master. Wo should not be self-centred,
but should bo able to comprehend
the laws of God.
"God has a hard time making people

On many tables today hot cross buns

The custom of eating the buns on Good

was rather smalt, unusually spiced, and
Its brown sugary surface was marked
with a cross.
Thousands of poor children and old
people In England used to mako It a cus

Indeed, were they who could not afford
