THE MEANING OF THE #TH CENTENARY OF CONSTANTINE, 333-1012.

[CONTRIBUTED.]

The Ru Rev. Bishop Pomoni, Vicar Apostolic of Hongkong, has issued a Pastoral Letter to all the Catholies of Hongkong and its dependencies, in which he gives the story of the Centenary, and niges all the faithful to participate in the forthcoming festivities.

The festivities will take the form of a Tridun whose Horariam is affixed at all the entrances to the Cathedra), aid at the last page of the said Pastoral Letter. They will commence on the 124b instant (morning, und evening services), His Lordship suggests some kind of illumination to bo nie in all the Oatholic homes on the night of the 14th instant- say, cžel house to place an illuminated Cross in a conspicuous place or at the windows

If this suggestion is generally adopted the effect of the illumination viewed from the harbour must be impressive,

The victory of the Emperor Onastan- tine in the vicinity of Rome and the Edict of Milan, published a few months after, are the two principal facts that the Constantine festivities are proposed to commemorate.

Both of them, says the official pru- gramme, have had the highest meaning in the history. In the celebration, of sach, events, which have changed the destinies of the world, all the nations must rejoice, who have received from Christianity their inspiration to progress either in moral order or in material and, above all, human civilizatiori.....
