MR. MASON .TOIVEo'S SACRED ORATIONS.

We have to congratulate Mr. Mason Jones on the car'
plete success which has attended his somewhat bold er
periment.

That a young, accomplished, and enthusiastic Irishrcat/
should be filled with an ardent love and admiration for the
great men his country has produced, and delight in
ing them live again in the mind's eye, by dethio
"thoughts that breathe in words that burn," was not
matter of much surprise; neither was it cause for wonder
that a country, where eloquence seems the native growthi
of the soil, should produce another undoubted orator. '3"
this was amply shown when, some few years since'
Mr. Mason Jones, at Willis's Rooms, was attract'
ing the highest and most cultivated audiences in
London, to listen to his orations on Curran, Burke,
other men of whom Ireland may well be proud. The al",'
dresses which he gave last year, on his return from
Garibaldi, upon the life of that true hero and patriot, and
the cause of Italian freedom, showed that his popularity
had sustained no diminution. But it was, we repeat, cer
tainly rather a bold experiment for a layman to set aptly
four Sunday afternoons for delivering orations on slid!
themes as St. Paul, Elijah, Job, and Moses—but, bold as it
was, the success with which it has been attended is now,tur
equivocal.

The oration on St. Paul presented a striking picture 01
the life and character of the great apostle of the Gentti!;
hie conversion, his speech before Festus, and the wondroa.
combination of eloquence and argument which fell from
lips on Mars Hill, forming the
chief themes on which lug
Mason Jones descanted with a power of language an
felicity of illustration rarely equalled. A considerable per:
tion of the latter part of his oration was devoted to al'
epistles, or " the letters" of St. Paul, as we observed Mr.
Mason Jones invariably termed them, and in dwelling °,:
their marvellous power and force of reasoning, he read WiL"
great earnestness and pathos the grand and argumentative
15th chapter of St. Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians'
as one out of many illustrations.
The second oration on Elijah was delivered last Sundt°.
afternoon, and the grandeur of his theme seemed to inspire
the speaker with even more than his usual eloquence and
power. The character of the solitary prophet, his dentin'"
ciations of the idolatry and vices of Ahab and his wicked
Queen, his challenge to the priests of Baal, the touchier;
episode of his sojourn with the widow of Zarepheth, and
the restoration of her son to life—all these were drawn With
a master's hand, and created the deepest impression on tb°
audience. In alluding to Elijah's invocation of the Divin°
vengeance on the messengers of the King of Samaria, the
speaker took occasion

The grandest portion of Mr. Mason Jones's oration 00
Elijah was undoubtedly the close, where he dwelt on th°
miraculous removal of the sacred prophet from earth to
heaven; and in language which, in its intensity and sub:
limity of thought, reminded us at times of what we have
heard from the lips of the late Rev Edward Irving when
ho was ono of the highest ornaments of the Sco
Church.
