The mass was celebrat- ed by the Rev. G. B. Hannigan, assisted by Fathers Ramm and Dempsey. Father Eyan of St. Brigid’s Church acted as master of ceremonles. The services were | largely attended by membérs of the order | and by the relatives and friends of those | whom death had removed from their midst. | The sermon, which -was delivered by { Father J. W. Sullivan, was an able efforl. ¥ather Sullivan chose as his text, “Seck | not death in the error of your life, neither | | procure ye destruction by the works of | | your hands.” He spoke at length on the need of keeping alive the memory of de- | parted ones, and then called the attem_lun of the congregation to the hemousness of the crime lately (‘)mmnk:ed 1‘n 1 his listeners that it w ey on sive the mysters surrounding | the deed. YFather Sullivan’'s sermon is as follows: The thought of the dead, how they are s uated, is u solemn, a deep thought, & thought dear to us all, one having so lasting a hoid on | the human heart that no other can ever usurp | its place—a thought bringing back the mem- | ory of all that makes earth beautiful nnrl tull of | Jo¥, stirring up the souls of old and young to | the recollection of things that were but are no {m of loved cnes who but yesterday crossed { over ‘the river to meet their God.

He thinking | well and religlously concerning the resurrection | sent 12,000 pieces of silver to Jerusalem for { sacrifice to be offered for the kins of the dead. And in one pithy sentence the author of the book of Maccabees gives us the whole essence | of the consoling truth, to which we cling when it adas: it is therefore a holy and whole some thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins."” To commemorate, then, the dead, to do honor | to the dead, you are here to-day, their com rades, thelr brothers.

The funGamental faw of all living creatus is growth: they must advance or they mu: fall back; there js to be no standstill; advance- | ment or retrogression; life or death is the | erucial test Creation is no_mere experiment whose master is uncertain.

[ Our Growth Is Influenced. Our growth spirituaily is influenced, aided, sustained by our conditions, our environment, | The seed that fell on the rocky sofl faded and died, while that which fell on the good soil flouriched and produced a rich crop. To in- crease and to ald our growth in the super- natural order, that we may add cubits to our stature, that we may successfully put off the | { 0ld man and put on the new, the church in her wisdom has established orders and communi- ties and congregations.

It 1s consonant with this principle of action In her feast that she has encouraged and fostered the Young Men's Institute. Be Faithful to Your Mission. | _You gentlemen are members of a distinctly Cathelic organization, and as such you have a | two-fold mission: to uphold in your own lives | the integrity of your faith and to uphold the idea that Catholicity and the highest type of | citizenship " are complementary terms. And inasmuch as you are fajthful to your mis- sion in so much will you be on the advance, | in s0 much will you be growing. This work. | however, must begin with and in ysurselves. | Reverence yourselves. Begin with reverencing this your body, reverence it as God’s handi- work, feartully and wonderfully made by an allwise being. ntemplate it. and contem- . if only for its marvelously for in organiza- | .' But reverence it still more as the consecrated temple of God's spirit. “Know you mot,” asks St. Paul, ‘“‘that your members are the temple of the Holy Ghost?" Do not /meglect that body. do not misuse it before 41l things, do not defile and desecrate it. ‘Know you not that your bodies are the mem- bers of Christ?” Shall I then take the mem. bers of Christ and make them members of an harlot? God forbid, says the same apostle. Our City Is Appalled. Members of the institute, the problem of so- | elal purity has been presented to us fately un- der most particularly heinous circumstances. It must be solved. WIll you accept the chal- lenge? Our city stands appalled to-day at the devilish crime of a brute. We shall not inquire into the motive of his atrocious act, we shall not stop to run the beast to his jair. The hands of our citizens are up in unspeakable horror and just indignation. We stand aghast at the deed The blood of woman has been flled to sate the lust of man, and th e crying to heaven for vengeafce, the whirlwind of God's wrath to & upon us. ‘Who knows when the measure of that wrath | will be filled to overflowing? Who knows but | that the dire fate of Sodom may be meted out {10 us? It 1s time Indeed that the consclence of the country should be awakened, and rudely | awakened, to the terrible curse of social im- purity that is faet settling lke a black pall upon us. Whenece the cause rings we will not ask.

There is but one remedy, there is but one cure, there is but ome way of reaching the source of this evil. and that is through th: conscience of each individual.

To redress the crying soclal wrong, to raise womanhocd from degradation and shame, to hold up to reverence the ideal of a pure, chivalrous, manly manhood, this is the crusade in_which 'you are invited, nay, exhorted,. to enlist.

But there is one beginning, and that is the foundation of your own individual conselence, and next to It comes strenuous endeavor on your part toward forming @ healthy public conscience.

Shaould Write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., for Advice—It is Absolutely Free and Has Restored Thousands of Women to Health. All Letters Are Sacredly Confidential and No Names Are Published Without Special Per- mission of the Writer — All Letters Are Received, Opened and Answered by Women Only — During the Last 20 Years Mrs. Pinkham Has Gained a Greater lhowl?dge Regarding Female Ills Than Any Other Person, and is Consequently Better Qualified to Advise and Guide Sick Women. Mrs. Pinkham’s Standing Invitation. In addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are confiding your private ills to a woman—a woman whose experience in treating woman’s diseases is greater than that of any living physician—male or female. You can talk freely to a woman when it is revolting to relate your private troubles to a man—besides a man does not understand—simply because he is a man. Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, knowing full well that they ought to have immediate assistance, but a natural modesty impels them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and probably examinations of even their family physician. It is unnecessary. Without money or price you can consult a woman whose knowledge from’ actual experience is greater than any local physician. The following invitation is freely offered ; acceptit in the same spirit. Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman ; thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it s more than possible that she has gained the very know- ledge that will help your case. She asks nothing in return except your good-will,and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very-foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer. ; LYDIA E.

Pixgfiay : —I have been for some years a great sufferer and thought I would write and explain my case to you as you had helped s0 many others. Menstruation is irregular and very painful. I bave suf- fered with painful periods for ten years but t pains grow worse as I grow older. I snffer most with my back, lower part of abdomen and left side. I have been flowing all the month and a part of August, not constantly, but will stop for two or three days and then begin again. “ The doctor says I have misplacement of the womb. I have bearing- down pains when passing urine, and my abdomen is very badly swollen and sore. lease advise me at your earliest convenience.” — Scorr, 21 e St., Kingston, 1a. (Sept. 30, 1900.) ‘““DEAR MRs. PINK#AM : — When I wrote to you asking advice no one could describe my suffering. The doctors#aid I could not be relieved un- less I had an operation performed, but thanks to you and your medicine 1 got along without huvinfi the dreaded operation. I have taken'ten bottles of your medicine and «m once more well and happy. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is a fine medicine and a -send to suffering women. I trust my letter may be the means of bringing many of my suffering sisters tc accept your kind aid.” — Mzs. A. V. Scorr, 21 Page St., Kingston, Pa. (Jan. 30, 1901.) “ DEAR MRs. PINKHAM :—So.me time I wrote you that my regular phy- sician had made an examination and told me I was afflicted with a tumor ?n my womb. I had backache, hiadache, bearinf-down pains, and very pro- fuse menstruation. My limbs would ache so I could not sleep, and I was very weak and nervous. I was bloated from my head to my feet. After receiving your letter I took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound and Blood Purifier and followed all the rest of your advice as near as I could, and the tumor was expelled in pieces, and I regained my natural size. I continued taking your Vegetagle Compound for a while longer and felt like a new wonan. I camnot thank you emough for your kind advice, and what your medicine did for me. It certainly savegmy life.” — Mgs. PERLEY S. WiLLIs Vershire, Vt. ‘‘ DEAR Mzs. PINKHAM : — One year ago I read a letter in a paper telli; how much good one woman 1ad derived from Lydia E. M Vegetable Compound. I had been sick all winter and was nearl. couraged, as the medicine the doctor gave me did me no good. I had complaint, leucorrheea, itching, bearing-down feeling, and ‘painful men- struation. I wrote to you describing my trouble and soon received an answer telling me what to do. I fncfilowgd your instructions, and have taken nine bottles of Vfichble Compound, and used one of Sanative ‘Wash, and one box of Liver Pills. Iam well now, do not have those sick spells ab the monthly period, but can work all day, and that I never could do until I began ng the Compound. I cannot praise the Compound too highly. I do hope every suffering woman will learn of your remedies and be cured, as I have been.- I wisk all suecess to the Compound ; it has done wonders for me and I am so thankful.” — Mgs.
