PATRICK'S MISSION Franciscan Fathers Conclude Two Weeks’ Labors With Ser- mons on Truth, Sabbath Observance, Prayer, Faith and Perserverance—Catholic Societies of the City Attended Sunday Evening Service in Body—Made Imposing S;wchcle as They Marched Up Broadway in Double File. It required nearly half an hour at the 5 o'clock mass in St. Patrick’s church Saturday morning for the Franciscan Father, Matthew, assisted by Father Seraphim, to give commun- ion to the men attending the mission. Between 350 and 400 men received the Holy Eucharist. Because of this, Father Matthew shortened -his morning instruction, which was on the Efficancy of Fre- guent Communigq. e At ‘gie 8 o'clock mass, Father Chrys- ostum preacwzd on the sinfulness of lies in any form. s Inspiring Temperance Sermon. The evening sermon by Father Seraphim was on the Enormity of Drunkenness, a rousing plea for total abstinence and a rebuke to those men who forget their obligations as Cath- olics and fall into the terrible vice of intemperance. Three Priests Give Communion. As one of the first frults of the mis- sion, during the 7 o'clock low mass read as usual Sunday by Rev. J. H. Broderick, nearly every person in the great congregation received holy com- munion, including over 400 members of the Holy Name Society. Father Seraphim preached and he and Father Cuny assisted Father Broderick 1in giving communion. At the 9 o'clock (children’s) mass, Father Matthew preached on the ne- cessity of praver and the strict ob- servance of the Sabbath. Keeping Holy the Lord’s Day. The preacher at the high mass at 10.30 was Father Chrysostum, whose text was the eighth commandment, Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day. This command was given by God to Moses, amid thunder and lightning, on Mount Sinal. A rainy morning, an lcy sidewalk, wintry weather, these are not suffi- cient excuse for keeping one away from giving God the worship which He demands, in His holy temple, the preacher sald. Jehovah is a God of might, a jealous God, the Creator of man, His creature, whose service He demands. Works of "charity or neces- sity on the Sabbath day may excuse the non-attendance of a Catholic at holy mass but this does not mean bus- iness, unnecessary manual labor, the pursuit of pleasure or sloth, The privilege a Catholic enjoys through God’s favor in assisting at the august sacrifice of the mass, the mystery of Love, where the God, who will cne day be man's judge is now, through His ineffable love for man, his victim, a sacrifice offered to His eternal Father, was pointed out:to the attentive congregation. The Sav- iour not only instituted the sacrifice of His body and blood, but commanded it. “Do this .In commemoration of Me.” ‘What greater privilege then, than to be present at this sacrifice, to offer one’s homage to the Most High through His Only-begotten Son, In whom He is weil pleased! To offer it in atonement for our sins, in thanksgiving for God's favors, for daily needs! ¢ Vestibules to Hell. The preacher drew a pioture of the way many so-called Christians spend Sunday, in dens and localities of vice which are the vestibules to Hell, in gambling and carousing, in Saturday night and early Sunday morning dances and the like. This is not the spirit of the earlier Catholics, who frequently rose at 3 o’'clock so as to walk long distances to be present at mass at 8. Obligations of Parents. The duty of parents in seelng to it that their children are prompt in at- tendance at church was emphasized; and in general the necessity of ob- serving the Lord’s day with reverence and decorem and with freedom from all sinful pleasures. Urged to Perservere. In referring to the wonderful fervor and zeal displayed by the parishoners during the past fortnight, Father Chrysostum urged them not to relax, but to continue in the path of right- eousness, admonishing them that only “he who perseveres unto the end shall be saved.” Memorial for the Dead. The Franciscan Father stated that this (Monday) morning, the 7 o'clock mass is to be offered wor all the de- ceased members of the parish and for all the souls in Purgatory. For the closing day of the mission the high altar was beautifully dec- orated with chrysinthemums in white, pale pink and yellow, while palms were on the altar steps. Evening Services. It was estimated that 1,200 people heard Father Mathew deliver,the final sermon Sunday night. Fathef Mathew spoke on Loss of Faith, taking his text from the gospel of St. John 20th, 19th verse. . Father Mathew pointed out the prophecies which were made by the prophetsyregarding the life and death of Jesus Christ. and of how Jesus came Into this world, and of how the people did not believe Him. As the disciple Jolin said: He came into this world among His own and they would not believe Him. When the disciples told Thomas that the Lord had risen, what did he say? I will not believe until I have seen the nail prints in the hands and put my hands in His side, and when the. disciples werc gathered together, Thomas amongst them, Jesus appeared in their midst. Turning_ to Tubomas, He said: “See my hands, the prints, and the hole in my side.” On that occasion our Savior wished not only to show His love for us in dying for us, but He wished to shame the disbeliever. He wished to strengthen faith. Be not a disbeliever, hold fast to your faith and hold fast to your religion. There was never a time as the present to hold fast to your faith, when unbelief and lack of falth seems to threaten the founda- tions of our femilles and our social lfe. ¥ Unbglief is Unreasonable. TUnbelief Is unreasonable. Unbelief is dishonorable. It is fatal to the Individual, to the home and to the nation. The disciples knew the promises of Jesus Christ; they knew of His work; they knew of His wonders, of restoring sight to the blind, loosen- ing the tongue, opening the ears and of calling back the ‘dead to life. Thomas saw the works of Christ, heard the words of Christ regarding His death. I ask you, friends, was it rea- sonable for Thomas to doubt the words of his fellow disciples? Was it per- missible? ‘We must bear in mind, Themas did not see, he dld not under- stand. He had seen the Master nailed to the cross. He had seen Him rest- ing in the tomb, and now they tell him He had risen. Is it permissible that we believe only what we see and understand and reject all other? I ask of the unbeliever, why do you re- fuse to believe —the miracles that proved He is the Son of God? He says I never saw those miracles. I only believe what I see with my own eyes. What do we do when we read the pages of history? What do we do in our justice courts where we take the testimony of others, take the judge sitting on the bench, the prisoner be- hind the bars who has been condemn- ed. The judge says: I condemn you to hang by the neck until life Is ex- tinct, and God have mercy on you. I say to the judge: Why condemn that man? The judge answers: Why, he murdered a man. But did you see him do it? No, but they tell me it is so. Think of it here in_ this country of ours, the land of the free: a man takes a life for another’s without seeing. ‘What do we do when we read the pages of history? Supposing you hold a eelebration for Washington, the fa- ther of this country. You have a speaker here who in eloguence tells of his glory to our public. He talks about other wvreat gencrals such as Alexander the great, Hannibal and others, and someone In the audience stands up and says: I do not believe what vou have said. I do not believe that there was ever a man George Washington. Why not? _ asks the speaker. The disyellever answers: My principle is, I only believe what I see. The Gospel a History. Friends, what is the gospel? the history of Jesus Christ. Tt nar- rates His life. Born in Bethlehem, labored among the people for three years, lived 30 years In Palestine, and was put to death on the cross at Cal- vary. The gospel is history. Can you quote any historian in the world who has written histories who can say at the end: I was an eye witness; T was there? No, you can’t! ‘What did the sacred writets of the gospel expect in return? They did not expect any earthly galn. They simply held up the facts to the World. They brought forth the faults of their na- tion with resr They had no earthly gain and there i{s no such Interesting story as the gospel. They are the most sincerest men who ever write history. ecause they not only saw but lald down thelr llves. Can you name to me a historlan who has laid down his life to show his sincerity? Yet, the sacred writers freely, gladly lald down their lives for what they wrote. When we quofe the gospel, we quote history. Surrounded by Mysteries. In religlon some say there are mys- terlous things and truths we do not understand. Friends did you ever re- alize that every time you step Into the garden of nature you are sur- rounded by mysteries? Take the color of the flowe the perfume of the flowers, they are all mysteries. How is it I can go out into the fields, pick a berry which is sweet and nutritious and in the same field pick a berry which s bitter and poisonous? These berries have been ralsed on the same soil, had the same rain, had the same sunlight. Why is it the flowers vary in color? Can you explain? Now, you can't, nor can the most noted botan- ists in the world tell. Take the per- fumes of the flowers, fo different, and yet they grow in the same soil, under the same sun. No living man éan ex- plain the color or the perfume of the flowers. I osk of the disbeliever, who is heat, light, coal, electricity? He can't answer. Nor the wizards can- not. They do not know what electric- ity is or what more they can do with it, or T may ask what is death, what is life, the secrets of individuality. No man ‘can explain these. They are mysteries and we are surrounded by mysteries. Unbellef is therefore un- reasonable in its most. It is mean and dishonorable in 1ts causes. Fashlon to Snigr at Religion. Friends, the more you study your faith the more you will love it and you will become attaghed to it. It seems today to be the fashion to sneer at religion. Does it matter what a man belleves? Do you think a man is guided by what he believes in re- liglon? It does make a difference what a man belleves. Jesus Christ came to this earth to teach a_truth and he died for that truth. In our order there are 17,000 men who have taken solemn vows, vows of poverty, vows of obedience that is not contrary to God and vows of discipline.. And do you think these 17,000 men are standing on the pulpit day after day, preaching what they do not believe. Knows He Is Preaching Truth No they are not. He stands out and tells men the truths and knows he is preaching the truth. It does mat- ter what a man believes for if it did not Jesus would not have died on the cross. The more a man makes a shipwreck of his faith he shipwrecks his morals. When a young man takes a stand with the unbelievers he seeks more liberty for passions. When the heart is black with vice then it is that they are far from the church. Through acts of impurity they drift not only away from Christianity but from the doors of the church. Immor- ality is the cause for the loss of faith. Christ died on the cross and gave us infinite proof of His love and loyalty. ‘'No man showed or gave better proof and yet you turn your back on Him. You have neglected the mass, the holy sacraments. Yes, then, remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy. God Al- mighty has a right to that day. He is the Creator. He gave us our body, our life, and he says, Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy, No man ever lost his faith who went to holy sacrament. The common cause, the great cause is that men withdraw themselves from God. Men of Nor- wich, vou know how far away you have drifted. It requires the Catholic faith to go to confession. It requires courage. Some men stay away because they are afraid. It is Reasons for Unbellef. Reasons for unbelief are ignorance, irrespect and cowardice. I ask you to hold fast to your faith. It is your greatest treasure. Above all live up to your faith. Be men that go to mass. This is a resuit which we want this mission which we have been con®uct- ing for the past two weeks to obtain. 1 never saw you before I came here, I do not know one of you, but you are souls belonging to Jesus Christ and we want to see you men of Jesus Christ. Prayer, men, is the golden key to the treasure-house of God. Concluding the sermon Father Sera.- phine bestowed the papal benediction. The regular choir was assisted by members of the Knights of Columbis, making a number of 50 singing the Veni Creator service. Nicholas J. Spellman and John J. Sullivan sang 8 duet, Wiegand’s O Salutaris. Members of the men’s Catholic or- ganizations of the city assembled in front of the Sunlight building on Franklin street and marched in double file to the chirch, making a very large and imposing procession. DEAN SEERLEY ADDRESSED MEN AT THE Y. M. C. A, A ippgd IS0 Says Young Men Go Wrong Becaus They Don't Know. * Dr. F. N, Seerley, dean of Spring- fleld Y. M. C. A. college, gave an ad- dress before a large number of men in Y. M. C. A. hall on Sunday afternoon. A double quartette from tne Bass Clef and Swahn’s orchestra furnished mus- ie. Dr. Seerley related his experience in inspecting a ship vard two years ago, when the assembling of guns for a battleship was in process. Of how each and every part was carefully in- spected and had to be perfect, because come little part might fail at the cfit- ical moment. Dr. Seerley sald, suppose I take a man and lay him by parts on a table. Would you know the parts? ® Remem- ber there are 500 muscles in the body. Young men go wrong because they don’t know. They are feeling their way without proper instruments. We know a great deal but not much about ourselves. We - have geologists, as- tromonists, students of the earth. We know business, we know commerce, it Seems that man has studied every- thing but bimself. CALLED OUT FOR AUTOMOBILE FIRE SATURDAY Blaze Was Slight and so Was the Damage.
