THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, MAY 7, 1888, A NEW HOUSE OF WORSHIP, Dedicating a Magnificent REdifice For God's Children. ST, JOHN'S CHURCH BLESSED. BDishop O'Connor Presides Over the Soleran and Beautiful Exercises— Rev. R. J. Meyer Proaches the Dedicatory Sermon. 8t. John's Colleginte Church. The sun shone and the rain fell at inter- vals yesterday morning. It was a discour aging day for the display of elaborate toilets, and was even more discouraging for the.ded- jcation of a church. Notwithstanding, the collegiate church of St. John on California 8t eet, adjoining Creighton college, was for- mally dedicated to divine worship under very promising auspices.. The capacity of the church, supplemented by extra seat- ing accommodations, was taxed to the ut- most. Chairs fringed the pews in all the aisles, and even straggled into the sanctu- ares of the side altars, to accommodate de- voted worshippers. In the attendance were many prominent Protestants as well as Cath- olics, and among the latter were scveral whose names in this community are as household words in everything that conduces 10 good government, charity and liberality. The dedication of Catholic churches is sup- posed to take place in_private, unless the condition of the weather be such s to sug- gest the adyisability of the abandonment of the rule. This privacy is not_because there i8 anything in the ritual which the wor- shipper may not witness, but, rather, be- cause the edifice is not supposed to be in con- dition for divine worship until the ceremony of dedication has been fully performed. The ritual in this respect is most interest- ing and symbolic. In this case the dedica- tion was pertormed by Bishop O'Connor of this diocese, who was attired in full conon- icals, consisting of purple soutare, lace sur- plice, cope, mitre and crosier. Preceded by about thifty acolytes, variously aatired in red and purple cassocks with lace surplices, and the clergy whose cassocks —were of black with rich surplices of lace. each bearing a lighted taper; the bishop walked to the vestibule where a short, solemn and expressi was said in Latin. The walls of the church ere then encircled, the clergy chanting the Misirere,’ and the bishop sprinkling the walls with holy water. Entering the church, the Jitany of tlie saints was said as the pro’ cossion approuched the sanctuary. Reaching the clergy took positic y nutil the invocation for a church was reached, when and made a special invoca- s were then sprinkled on the interior with holy water, the clergy chanting the psalms. At this juncture, the people were admitted 10 the church. Solemn high mass was _then commenced, with Rev. M. P. Dowling, S. J., president of Creighton college, as celebrant s Rey James K. Rigge, S. J., deacon; Mr. Ma' i, 5. J., sub-deacon. Mr. J. Donaber, J., adted 08 master of ceremonies and d rected the movements of the acolytes, already referred to, whose presence, dressing and demeanor added greatly to thé solemnity of the ceremony. During the mass the folloy ing clergymen were noticed in the sanctuar, Rev. P. F. McCarty, of St. Philomena’ Rev. J. J. Jeannette, of St. Patrick's; Re F. McMenamy, Council Bluffs; Rev. A. M. Colaneri, Rev. F. Hillman, S. J\, Rev. F. Dé Schriver, 8. J., Rev. J. J. O'Mears, S. J., Mr. Mara, 8. J.,'and Mr. M. A. McGinnis. During the mass the main and side altars were (Pmm“ly decorated with flowers, lighted candles and gas jets surrounded with colored globes. The variety of hues, how- ever, was such, 'as not to offend discrimina- ting taste, and the result wus an effect both harmonious and beautiful. The mass Bung by the choir was Lambill- otte’s Paschial in D. Itis one of the most expressive and beautiful, though not by any means the grandest, in the masses in the works of the Catholic composers. It was particularly appropriate, however, to the oc- casion and was rendered by the following ladics and gentlemen, with the accompani- ment of Professor Hoffman’s orchestra : Sopranos—Mrs. D. J. O'Neill, Council Darraugh, Council Blufts; Mrs. N. F. Bethge ss W. O. Rourke. Miss Clara . J. Lange, iray, Council Bluffs; Mrs. ¢, Miss Nettie Burkley, Miss Lulu Burkhard. Tenors and Basses—Mr. E. Whitehorn, Mrs. J. B. Doyle, Mr, D. D. McDonald, M. Otto Wolff,Mr. J. P. Murphy, Dr. E. Arnold, Mr. F. J. Burkley, Mr. J. Willman, Mr. H' V. Butkiey, Mr. J. Baumor. The mash contains a number of beautiful choruses, but it abounds in solos and duos, with a couple of trios and quartettes. The signing of these features was ussigned af fol- lows: “KCyrie,” sopr: A. F. Bethee, Dass, Har : "'duo _soprano and alto, Mrs, E. C ) e and Miss Clara Creighton: “Domine Deus,” Mrs. . Me- Shan uoninm ta Solus,” bass, J.

Moran, aito Miss Clara Creighton, tenor Mr. J. B. Doran, buss Dr. Arnold; “Agnus Dei,” b . Murphy, alto solo Mrs. . J s “Ave Maria," . D. J. O'Naill, of Council B.uffs, known here, whose volee has frequently been heard here when It was known it would contribute to the success of grand occasions. H v Burkley sang the ‘*Veni Creator” before the sermon, und sang it woll considering the difi- culty under which the choir labored, many of the members being comparatively unfamiliar with the score, and the lack of frequent - hearsals, the rendition of the mass as a whole was creditableand satisfactory, one number a'one being hardly such as the parties render- ing it would like to have it; but for this, there was ample excuse. Thoe orchestra seemed familiar with its score and religiously obeyed Prof. Hoffman’s baton. But its com- position was unsutisfuctory. The brasses overshadowed, puralyzed the strings, and, at times, indulged in almosy unpardonable noise, The PONCEs Were ac- companied on the organ by Mrs, Burk hard, The large audience was carefully handled and seated gentlemen in churge being Churles M¢Donald, Mr, O'Shaughuessy und Messrs. Paul and Mullin Hereafter, on week days, there will be masses in the church at 6 and 8 o'clock in the morning, and on Sunduys at 8 and 10 o'clock, With vespers and benediction in the evening at 8. The May devotions will take place every morning after the 8 o'clock w Confirmation will be administered next Sun day at 4 o'clock in tho afternoon. Last night, solemn vespers with the full choiv and com- plement of acolytes were chantea for the first time in the new ediflo TIK SERMON, The sermon was preached by Rev. Meyer, 8. J., superior of the provin souri. was a fi und is here synopsize “I huve loved, O Lord, the beauty of thy house, und the place where thy glory dwel leth, (Ps. x?\v, 8), Right Rev. Bishop, Rev.

That temple was constructed of marble and costly stones, of cedar and fir and palm, carved and graven by skillful hands; it was overlaid from founda. tion to summit with purest gold; it was fur nished with an altar aud candlesticks and lamps uud censers and vessels of solid gold; it was dedicated with solem and powp. In eonclusion sacrifice were offered, when in the words of holy writ ““fire came from heaven and consumed the holocausts and vie'ims; and the g! nl the Lord filied the ko Mark the r- sumstances, wy breilr v was Mis: 1 and: scholarly effort when sacrifice was offéred that the Almighty took up his abole in the new temple. Even s0 it is during the holy sacrifice now baing offered for the first time in this church, that he takes up his abede to dwell there in forevermore, Sacrifice is the very es. sence of all true worship; and therefore the altar, with its tabernacle, is the very center of the true religion. Without it the most magnificent structure is not the dwelling place of the Most High. Preaching, how- ever eloquent, and singing, however artistic, are not of themselves divine worship. Ac cording to the CatHolic idoa they are meant to be accompaniments and powerful aids to devotion. Yet what is the rel gious servico of our separated brothren but preaching and singing! What their churches, without altar and sac ompared to the ancient temple of Jerusalem? 1 mean no offense. ho temple of Jerusalem was only a figure of the christian church. Neverth in that temple there was & _sacrifice, typical of the sacrifice to be offered by the great high priest according to_the order of Melchisedech; there was the holy of holies with the ark of the ¢ ant; there was the manna symbolical of the true bread from heaven, whereof “if a man eat he shall not forever.” Where are we to find the reality of thesc figures, the fulfilment of these typest! 1answer nowhere save in the Catholic church. The sacrifices of the old law have ceased, but *from the rising of the sun even to the going down my name is great among the Gentiles, and in every place there is sacrifice, and there is offered to my name a clean oblation,” That clean oblation is no other than the holy sacrifice of the mass, wherein the lamb who was slain from the be- ginning,” takes the place of the victims, with which the Jewish high priest heaped the ultars in vain. The christian sacrifice, the veal presence of the divine victim give the christian_church the character of God's house. The doctrine of the real presence isa cardinal doctrine, without which the history of the church is an_inexplicable myth. To qaestion it is to deny christian history, to distrust the power and veracity of ~the founder of christianity himself, "How else are wo to interpret the words of Christ him- self—how to explain_away the comment of St. Puaul in his epistle to the Corinthians and according to whom the christion worship has its sncrifice, as the Jews and heathens had their's, '*“We have an aitar whereof they have 1o power to cat, who serve the taber- nacle!” "How are we' to answer the reason- ing of tho fathersof the primitive church, among whom the traditions of the apostles were preserved unadulterated—how to ac count for the fact that the scattered schis- matical sccts of the east, dating back even to the very days of the apostles, have preserved the Catholic belief and rites of the eucharist, guarding them as jealously as the children of Israel guard the sacred books of the old testament, though these bear witness against them? How, above all, are we to read the story written in indellible characters upon the ‘religious monuments of the past, which remain till our day as memorials of early faitht Go to any muscum of religious an- tiquities, such as that of Munich, look at the altars of every size and style and form, at the sacred vessels—the chalices, ciboriums, ostensoriums and pyxes; read the dates which antiquarians have labelled upon them ; and then tell me what was their object, their use, their meaning. ~Are they records! And of what? Of carly faith or of early supersti- tion? As well may we shut our eyes dazzled by the glare of the noon-day sun, and say “it is midnight" as question the belief of carly christianity in the Real Presence and the sacrifice of our alturs, The churches were the museums whercin christian genius and christian art laid their tribute at_the feet of the BEmanuel, or God with us, and_adored in architecture and sculpture and painting and music at the foot of the altar. The very first art efforts of christian times, as exhibited in the ancient churches were a con- fession of faith in the blessed encharist. This faith inspired the architects of those hoary gothic cathedrals at once the admiration and the despair of modern art, standing be- fore one of which an American poet exclaims: “*And I gazed abashed, Child of an age that lectures, not_creates, Plastering our swallow nests upon the awful past, And twittering around the work of larger men, As we had bulded what we but deface.” Upon the canvass, too, and the cold marble, faith impressed an order of beauty infinitely higher than that of the Apollo Belvidere and the Phidian Venus. Paganism had cast the gods from Olympus and surrounded them with the gross clog of matter; christianity raised men towards heayen to invest them with the ethereal sublimity of spirits. *“Be- hold the dwelling place of God with men.” If the chisel and the brush wrought marvels under the guidance of ‘faith in the encharist, the pen also was inspired. What more sublime than the hymns of St. Thomas Aquinas in praico of the blessed sacrament —the poetry of love divine, whose sacred flume s kindled at the altar lamp. A still higher elevation awaited music, The genius of composition was awakened. A host of competitors arose who took the office of the mass as_their theme. A Hayden, a Mozart, a Lulli would not now have so high 2 claim’upon our admiration had they not used their talents in the service of the altar, had they not transfused into their composi- tions *‘the songs of the angels,” “the sym- phony of the spheres.”” Then the organ lent its peals. “Cecilia raised the wonder higher, ‘When to herorgan vocal breath was given An angel heard it appear Mistaking earth for heaven.” All over Europe and even in Asia and Africa we meet with moyements of carly christian faith and lo which brought their weight of gold and silver, and like the Magi laid it at th of Christ, which surrounded the eucharistic victim with flowers and ornaments and burning tapers, and, like the fagdalen, poured out sweet ointment until “the odor thereot filled the whole house.” Religious indifference can produce no such marvels of art and of love. Luther himself wrote in 1 to Albert, duke of Prussia, Phis article of the real presence has been believed and acknowledged by common con- sent from the beginning of the Christian church to our days. To raise doul subjeet would be to condemn as ) church and Christ himself {vith hi: and prophets,” Luther was right. we must bend our knees and intellects before the altur of Christ or deny the divinity of Christ, either be adorers of Christ in the euc! ist or break with historic christianity and forfeit our right to the name of christians. There is no logical alternative between faith n this mystery and broad rationalism, Christ present in our midst s now as ever the principle of christian life. From his tabernacle He inspires not only the purest acts of christian pioty, but likewise the noblest deeds of christian generosity und the grandest works of christian art, O for the faith which builds churches in- stead of palaces, temples for the habitation of the Living God instead of mansions for the dwelling of mortal men! ‘That faith still lives in our days and produces the same fruits as of gold. We see cvidences of it in our western states, where the humble pioneer Catholics offer their little mite to erect frame or log ¢hapel to to their saviour, We sce_evidences of it i our lurge cities with their temvles that vie in splendor with those of the old world, We see evidences of it in the structure thut has for years crowned this hill and looked down iu imposing majes upon your thriving city. We see evidenc of it in the massive little church due in great t to the same liberality and capablo of assuming larger proportions in the future, We see evidences i that elegant altar which the sanctuary and in those windows whose sacred figures and emblems look down upon you as with the very eyes of the sun, and which shall remain to tell posterity of the generous donors long after they will have re- ceived their rewards. It would almost seem as if faith and relig- ion had taken refuge in our young land when they are outlawed in the older coun- trics of "ul'n‘n-. There we witness other scenes, churches converted iuto barracks, shrines demolished, sauctuaries pillaged to £ill the empty coffers of robber kings all in the name of law, all under the specious pretext which ance caused the faithless dis. ciple of Christ to exclaim *Whereunto was the waste ot ointment made.” The real rason, however, is always the same that eviangelist gives because they are the thieves and carry the purse. Waste! What is waste! put too much upon pomp and display se of 80 own, but Vo waste, alas, ourselves, upon vain forgetting that what we lavishly is not God's, forgetting we | are but stewards, *Mino is the silver and miue is the gold,” 'says the Tord by the mouth: of his proph 1 it be waste to devote anything to the serviee od's altar, then it is the first dut oligion to waste. W ¢ cnough for Him; we can never make his dwelllug place wortby of his divine majesty. Continental Clothing House Special Sale of Riverside Worsted Suits, Price $12.
