THE HOLY FATHER has announced that the first session of the Ecumenical Council will end on December 8 with a solemn ceremony in St. Peter's Basilica. THE POPE'S ANNOUNCEIVENT WAS READ AT THE THE 13TH CLOSE OF
GENERAL MEETING OF THE COUNCIL ON NOV. 6.
During the meeting the discussion of the second of eight chapters of proposals on the liturgy was concluded by a standing vote of the 2,211 Council Fathers present. The meeting then took up chapter three of the liturgy proposals dealing with the sacraments and sacramentals. The meeting opened with Mass offered by Bishop Endre Hamvas of Csanad, Hungary, and was presided over by Cardinal Tappouni, Syrian Rite Patriarch, of
Cardinal Tappouni, the president at the 13th meeting, proposed to end discussion of the second chapter of the liturgical proposals. The vote was affirmative.

The aim of the chapter is to increase the understanding of the significance and effects of the individual sacraments. Among the matters treated are the revisions of books of ritual, the preparation necessary for reception of the various sacraments, sacramentals and funeral cere-
