LINCOLN

(From an occasional correspondent.)

A very successful mission, extending from Sunday, December 3, to the morning of Monday, December 11, was given in the Lincoln parish by the Rev. Father Lynch, C.SS.R. Excellent congregations attended the two Masses and the evening service each day of the mission. On the Thursday and Friday evenings special sermons were preached on the Holy Eucharist and on devotion to the Blessed Virgin. Large numbers approached the Holy Table. Valuable assistance was given during the mission by the choir and by the ladies, of the Altar Society. The mission was brought to a close on Monday, the 11th, with Mass for deceased relatives and a short discourse on the doctrine of purgatory and devotion to the holy souls.
