Mission of «be Redemptorist Fathere—Devo- tion to the Blessed Virgin—Nermon by Father Gres, sa At the Church of the Immaculate Conception, in | Fourteenth street, near avenue A, there was an immense congregation jast evening. The occasion was the opening of a mission by the Redemptorist Fathers. The church was crowded in every! part by an earnest and devout congregation, who joined with the utmost fervor in the devotional exercises and who listened. to the lervid words of the preacher with rapt attention. ‘The congregation was not one remarkable on week day evenings. for farhion, but it was unquestionably characterized vy religious faith and devo- tion. Every countenance bore an. impress which showed unmistakably that it was no cold or douvting faith which brought together that crowd of’ worshippers. During the sermon many eyes were wet with tears, the emotional feeling being appealed to throughout by the preacher, THE DISCOURSE was aclivered by Father Gros on “Devotion to the Blessed Virgin.” He bégan by calling attentien to the fact that God had bestowed especial privileges upon Our Blessed Mother. Predestined from Jal nity to be the mother of the Redeemer of the world, God gave her especi , Ordained that she sbould be bora free from that stain of original sin which had been the lot of mankind since the fall of our first parents. She was made the purest of mortals, @ creature worthy to be the mother of the Redeemer of the world. She must have been a mother worthy of the great honor bestowed upon her in being the mother of Jesus Ohrist. Who can fataom the depth of A MOTHER'S LOVE? ‘The love of a mother may be latent for 2 time, but it can never be crushed ont, fhe mother’s heart may have long ceased ita throbbing, but the love of that mother is imperishable in the heart of the child. And the nobler the character of the mother the deeper is the love of the son. How wonder- fol, then, must the iove of the Blessed Virgin have been when she firat beheld the face not only of her son, but of her God—when she glanced on a face of beauty so Wondrous strange that the shepherds left their sheepfolas and the kings their throues in the East 10 wership this new- born babe!

Yesterday morning he reached about hell and damnation. Mr. Beccher not at home jn hell and damnation.

Mr. Beecher tnen stated the views held by the rominent thinkers 02 this subject, from the Sad- aitees down to the present time." In all of these, he said, was perceptible the «wail of hurhan anguish, the intense feeling of dread and the yearning for comfort and assurance, What were the teachings of Christ? Well, He laid down no philosophy, no theory, but the great heart. of the ay mpethaiae Sa- viour who had died for mankind had plainly taught a iuture punishment. He tolds men b they were in a terrible danger, and His cry was ‘ “REPENT, REPENT.’? His teachings were always inclusive of am “ever- lasting,” ah eternity to an eternity. Mr. Beecher acknowledged his inability to under- stand eternal Faphwens “I Know about the fatherhood of God; I try to concetve what that iz, and then I think about tais punishment forever and ever. Above it alll know that I love the Lora Jesus Christ, and [rest upon what He has said.

THE SERMON, basal Bcd church celebrated one of its numer. ous seativais in honor of the Mother of God, through ‘Which 18 commemorated the share which Mary had in the great work of the redemption of man— a share opiained through the trials and suiferings which ashe endured from the affection she bore her Divine Son, and which has gained for her the honor and glory with which the Catholic Chorch in a particu- lar manner distinguishes her. ‘The Gospel read at mass yeertar.. 4s one Chosen by the Church in unison with this spirit to recall to “he faithful the Jegacy of love and honor which Jesus left to be paid by them to her whom he thus regarded, and in proof of the Divine and apostolic authority for the devotion which the Church pays and enjoins on its, children towards the Mother of God. ferring to this festival Dr. Freel said, in POOR AFFLICTED FRANCE Where the greatest devotion was ever shown to- wards the blessed virgm all voices are now raised in prayer and supplication to the mother of God. In all the countries ot Europe the praises of Mary are spoken, and farther east, where Mary lived, her name has always commanded the respect and reve- Teuce due the immaculate Mother of our blessed in Brooklyn simi- Redeemer. What has God done for Mary? It would be necessary to have tongues of angels to know. the dignity of the mother of God. God had no. beginning, he is infinite, he always was and always will be. What, then, is the meant of saying that God had a@mothery When We say that Mary 1s the mother of Goa we do not mean to say that she gave Him’his divinity; we simply say she gave Him @ body. Is it, then, right to say } MARY IS THE MOTHER OF GoD because she has given him fiesh? Yes, it is as much 80.28 to say any woman is the mother of her chiid, If we were to suppose some mother was to bring forth an angelic child we would say she is the mother Of an angel; so, then, when we admit God’s divinity we must acknowledge Mary to be the mother of God. Not only is she the mother of God the same as mother, but because she was virgin when she Ae forth the Divine Son. The moment she said “He it dene accordin; to Thy word,” the Divinity became attached to wh: was of the body of God. What becomes of us when we die? The soul becomes separated irom the body, because by death the body becomes destroyed; so when a human being dies we would almost say a mother ceased to be @ mother, having no claim be- yond the grave. Not so with Almighty God, for not for one moment did Christabandon the body. We also say thut MARY IS OUR MOTHER, it is geometimes merely said in words of affection; but besides this, God gave her to us by a special providence. When dying on the cross He toid her to become the mother of the disciples. This was not meant for one, but all of us; #0, therefore, when He said to John, “‘Benold thy mother |? He meant it for the whole human race. What, then, shonid be our devotion to the mother of God? ' We should pray to her begging of her not to forget us, but nse her al-lpowerful intercession = in hall of onr souls, kn hours of sickness, trials and afMiction, What solace and comfort we will we not find by p tf application to her for aid. When a erson is sick is it not beauuful to think of health ’ ‘et how much more benefictal to partake of the medicine that will cure our disease, In our anxiety to recover and be agam’ restored ne medicine 1s too bitter. We must then acknowledge ourselves sick with sin, and the necessary remedy for us is prayer, fasting and alms deeds. ‘Let us, then, ge to our biessed Lord, for he hatn said, '+1 have come to heal the afflicted children of Israel.” Christ himself 1s the physician of the sick. We méeed to ve aroused and awakened from THR SLERP OF BIN. It is said of somnambulists that they walk in dan- gerous places on roofs of houses, and never wake unt) they fall, and then, wake but to aie; so itis with sinuers. They go on from day to day, ummind- ful of thelr ‘souls’ ealvation, wrapt up in the things of tits world, never, thinking until they awaken lo the terrible reality that an eternity les before them. Let ua, then, beseech of Mary, mother of God, sitting on her throne to-day, to remember her poor exiled children. Let as beg of Jesus Christ to pour down upon us His divine grace, 80 that by improv: ing the means He has given us We may work out our salvation with fear and trembling, and obtain the reward of eternal happiness He has promised us.

Gods Love for His People=Sermon by the Rev, Dr. Duncan. The Rev. Dr. Duncan yesterday preached the first sermon since his forma wstallation as pastor of the Central Baptist Church, Williamsburg, a congrega- ton Which has been singularly unfortunate 1 its selection of pastors heretofore. Previous to’ ms mstaliation: Dr. Dunean preached & series of sermonson the doctrine of justification by faith, in which heargued, that faith alone in Christ Was sufficient to save tue most hardened sinner, no matter what lis works were in the flesi. ‘These sermons attracted universal attention, as did also a beautumul discourse on Christ's love for litle chil- dren, His theme yesterday was GOD'S LOVE FOR HIS PEOPLE, and his text the ninth verse of the fifteenth chapter f St, John, As the Father hath loved me, so have T loved you: continue ye in my love.” Dr. Duncan elucidated tne text at great length. Kew of us reallze its importauce and purport, while many misunderstand it and become vonfused. While God loves us; He hates our sins. ,He will forever hate sin with ap unrelenting hatred, but that. hatred aves not extend to the sin-stained soul. Whiie Christ re- buked the ertors of His disciples and grieved over thetr defects of character He loved them with una- bated fervor while on earin, Their defects could not subdue His love, God's love is very diferent from the manifestations of it to us. His’ ways are often dark and mysterious, but behind His trowns are sunny smiles. He chastises us through love, not anger, Ubrist knew no sin, yet He died to save sinners. He assumed the debt which we contracted and paid Jor it with His blood. He is the end of the Jaw for all who believe in Him. Having redeemed ng at agreat price, if we Confess our sins He will lor- give tuem. THE PRIVILEGE OF SINNERS, privilege of every sinner to seek the throne of grace, and bis petition will be favorably considered by . It bewilders us when we in- quire why God shouid extend His love to us, and we can only account fori from the fact that He loves us for His Son’s sake. So long, therefore, as a bond exists between God and the pavioar there will be a bond between the Saviour and His people, and no power can sever it. NEW JERSEY CHURCHES, DEDICATION OF A CATROLIC CHURCH AT HUDSOY CITY, N. J. It is the ley—Sermon by Confirmation by Bishop B: Father Keill Another of those structures which will attest to coming generations the zeal dispiayed by Catholics mn Worshipping the true God was dedicated in Hud- son City yesterday by the’ Right Rey. J. R. Bayley. But a few short months ago the corner stone of the edifice was law, and since then, as well as previously, the Passionist Fathers of ‘West Hoboken toiled incessantly to raise up the temple. Although it does not rank among the dazzlingfchurches of the country, it 1s handsome and substantial. Situated on Washing- ton street, near Van Vorst, it is 180 feet inlength by 75 im breadth. The walls are of the ,beat brick, and the interior will in course of time be de- corated with fresco paintings. ‘THE ALTAR AND SANCTUARY are at the castern end, & gothic arch springing up vefore them, a8 In mostof the amcient abbeys, At half-past ten o'clock yesterday, the pews were filled to repletion, althongh half @ dollar was charged for acdumission, The bishop, with cope and mitre, preceded by acolytes and attendants, emerged from the castern door and advanced slowly to the front entrance during the recitation of the custom ary prayers. The anthem Asperges was then sung and the procession walked rouna the buulding, Ar- rived again at the front door the chanting of the Lit of the Saints was begun and the bishop a} proached the altar, whengall fell on their knees till the Litany was enued.

WASHINGTON, Oct, 16, 1870, In the morning the pastor, Rev. John C. Smith, D.D., preached @ very interesting sermon from Join v., XXiil.—“He that honoreth not the Son honoreth not the Father which hath sent Him.” The term honor oecurs frequently in ‘the Scrip- tures and is applied. to Jehovah, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, a8. well ag ourselves...

Nor is this honor required to- wards “parents” only, but towards otuers also. “fhou shalt honor the hoary head.’ We are taught to respect the aged.

PATRICKS CONGREGATION, A Catholic View of the Unity of Chrint With _His| Spouse, the Church—Tho Church the Meane of Salvation. WASHINDTON, Oct. 16, 1870, The congregation of St. Patrick’s assemb!ed, as usual, in Carrol) Hal yesterday morning, wnd filica every pew therein, ont to the very door, The mass was sung by Pather Walter; the organgwas presided over by Professor Richter, and in the customary Place, after the tirst gospel, Father Keane preached asermon from thé altar on the “Unity of Christ with His epouse, the Chureh.’? St, Pani, said the preacher, aljuded to the union which the marriage vow implied as typical of the union between Christ and His Church. When a man and woman enter into the marriage relation they )ecome as one flesh, as one in/ail moral obiigations and as one even be- fore the law of the land; go Christ, identifying Hin- self with His Church, making her his spouse, gives us, the members of the body, the assurance of His paternal care. but to be members of the bouy of which He 1s the head and inspiration it is necessary that we lofiow mM the path fle has laid down for our guidance; that we associate ourse.ves With Him in spirit and from the lesson of His life learn the true methods which lead to virtee aud secare eternal re- demption. Those who, as members of the body, fuil to correspond in farmony with its functions and re- quirements cannot. be ealled in anion wita the Church. They are as a foot amputated from the nat- ural body, useless im its meceseitics, AB & branch lopped irom a tree withers aud dies, so jo those souls who are not in union with the Church of Christ. To partake im this union It is necessury that We not alone be mem- bers of the body in name, but that we will faithfully perform our shaye i the functions which belong to it. To all things of many parts which are designed to Work for acommon end and aim unity of group- ing and unity of action are essentia).. In the Church o1 Christ this clement of concentrated purpose 14 seen. It is the vitalizing ieature of ite exemplar, Christ himself. To work with Hin and in Him is the cee, of the Chratian, and he who stands ajoof ana prefers to take.upon bimself the task of saving his. own soul runs @ terrible risk and incurs a fearful responsibility. Within the Church, united to the body. there alone can the Christian sonl find its sphere of hope and truth and its path to gavation. Outside, it is but as the amwotated limb, useless and rowen.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16, 1870, Seldom have the people of Washington listened to amore instructive and practical sermon than was preached to this society this morning at New Jeru- salem church, by Rev. Jabez Fox, from Revelations L, 7—“Behold, He, Christ, cometh in the clouds, and every eye shal) see Him,” &c, The winister showed that the Lord cometh to us in many ways; as in the establishment of the Chureb, in the influence of the moon os of good spiritual mep, in the true and good influence which awaken in us 4 desire for truth and Iness and the wish to avoid evil. He will come to us spiritually and be perceived spritu- ally, put he will not again come to us in a physical body to be seen by our physical eyes. He will not be seen coming in the clouds of the material atmos- phere, but in the clouds or influences of truth and spirit, to be apprehended by the spirits of men.

Dr. Bradford states that as the article ‘was written apparently with the authority of Coro- ner Schirmer he considera it necessary to “ask for » prompt explanaves.” The followmg is his state- ment:— J was called to sce Mrs. Sheridan, 136 West Thirty- fifth strect—who, by-the-by, from all I could ascer- tain (the reports to the contrary notwithstanding), L believe to have been a temperate, peaceable and industrious woman, The circumstances which led to her sad death betng of a domestic nature, the public will not require me to make unnecessary allusion. I found ber suffering the most excra- Gating agony, having jumped from a second Story window, striki upon ber ieet, and receiving tuternal injuries, which needed but little examination to pronounce very serious If not fatal, a8 indeed they proved to be. Though Mrx. sheridan was promptly relieved of her Caer and encouraged her friends by saying she shoul id recover, she, in pouty. became steadily worse. Bus not until after consultation with two other physi- cians, who agreed with me as to the certain wsuc of the case, did I request an ante-mortem ex- amination of the Coroner, And this I did in performance of my duty asa physician and public servant. The Coroner came and sali the patient was net goles to die, and therefore his services were not required, This announcement very nati r astonished the friends standing around the dying woman, and @ momenger wa despatched for me. The woman, however, did die, aud [ am sure, the Coroner will do me the ynstice of publishing a true and intelligibie account of the post-mortem sppear- ancea, Then the public can judge “what about DFORD, M-D,, Dr this.” THEODORE D.

All things prepared two companions “poosted’? the artificial bird to a proper angle and it New jnto the alr like a thing’of iife.
