A SEA OF IRISH CHILDREN FILLS THE PHOENIX PARK THE WHOLE IRISH NATION IS REPRESENTED
A FIVE HOURS' PROCESSION PASSES THROUGH GATES LEGATE'S TRIBUTE
FROM North, South, East and West the Phoenix Park there to form what must have been the most remarkable congregation of children that ever assembled for Mass.
THE ATTENDANCE IS PUT AT ABOUT 100,000, AND THE ADVANCE GUARD OF THE HUGE GATHERING BEGAN TO REACH THE PARK AS EARLY AS 8.30 A.M. BY 9 O'CLOCK THE PROCESSION HAD BECOME AN UNBROKEN STREAM.
Special trains, 'buses and vehicles of all sorts brought the child worshippers—4,000 came from Belfast, and huge contingents came from Cork, Waterford, Limerick and other cities. Until after one o'clock contingents, delayed in travelling, were still marching to the Park.
The scene, specially described below, was full of devotion, life and colour.
The Papal Legate's address to the children appears on Page 7.
TRUMPETS AND DRAWN SWORDS
(By ANN MILMARTIN.)
FROM the four corners of the Park. From the four corners of the park they children in endless rainbow procession to their places in the great green challeer—rimmed by trees as old as they were young.
From the mountainy parts, from the far seabords, from country towns, from elsy streets—and slums—the children came for the park. From the four corners of the park they children in endless rainbow procession to their places in the great green challeer—rimmed by trees as old as they were young.
The children in the altar foot? From the concealing trees came the quickest battalions of giant, yet midgel, army. The giants in garb as white as the first huge school caps and blazers of many colours.
The last dust speck in swept with a fine serpentine screen from the altar carpets. The Mass cruets and furnishings are set in their place.
Purple and green.
Episcopal purple and green, and by the park and at against the green and green school caps arrived the children white and green screens from the altar colonnades. Here a human touch. At the drive gate stand white carpets made of colours in hand, watching the prelate's progress, for a minute party before returning to Berkshire. The enclosure is filling up. March garbed seculars, habited regulars, take their places on the bleached white benches.
One reads his office. The gossamer fine lace on his cotta brings a sudden picture of a nun's fingers, skilled in the needle.
It is Noon.
At the other side the three thousand strong chor assemblies—noon to be the songbirds of the Children's Mass, still chattering starlings.
Sacrament thirty seven officers, move to their places on the altar. Six trumpets and green below the sanctuary (Continued on Page 7, Col. 4).
