mas. This concession is made to per-
sons engaged at hard labor for every
meal, and for the principal meal to the
members of their families, even though
not employed at hard labor. On fast
days, therefore, members of the house-
hold of working people who are not
exempt from the law of fasting and
abstinence on account of hard labor
may use meat once a day; that is, at
the principal meal, on the days on
which its use is allowed by the indult.
Those who avail themselves of this
dispensation are exhorted to perform |
some voluntary act of mortification.
The time during which the Paschal
duty may be discharged will begin on
the first Sunday of Lent (March 9) and
end cn Trinity Sunday (June 15.)
Lent is a season of divine calls and
ufihappy are they who do not heed |
them. It is a time of salvation when
the mercies of God are poured out on |
souls that seek them. It is a season |
when we should give ourselves to self-
searching and earnest prayer that we|
may obtain a clearer realization of |
life's work and the strength to approach |
it courageously. All who can do 50
should assist at daily mass, receive |
Communion if possible and religiously |
attend the special devotions that will
be given in their parish churches. |
The holy father has directed his chil- |
dren throughout the world to pray par-|
ticularly for the persecuted people of |
Russia who are the object of an un-|
believable persecution by the impious
and Godless government that now rules
that unhappy country. The persecution
will fall as have all similar efforts of |
the impious. I recommend the faithful
of the diocese to say one Our Father
and one Hail Mary daily that the God
of nations may speedily help His afTict-
ed children and hasten the day of His
triumph over the works of those who
would destroy the name of the Savior
of the world. The feast of St. Joseph
has been appointed as a special day
of prayer for this urgent need, and we |
hereby direct the pastors of all
churches where it is feasible to have
the blessed sacrament exposed on that |
day, to urge their people to receive Holy
Communion and to earnestly beg our
sacramental God to save His persecuted
people. {

Arrangements have been completed
by the Bell Telephone Company for the
establishment Saturday (March 1) of a

recently by G. H. Fulmer, manager.
On and after last Saturday telephone
users here will be able to obtain the
correct time at any hour of the day
or night by asking > operator for
“the time”. The service is planned to
meet the general demand for this form
of information. Since its institution
throughout Pennsylvania will create an
additional operating expense for the
Bell Company, a charge of five cents
is to be made for each call for time
of day information.
