lecture, which excited universal interest.
The subject Of the lecture last night the "Invoca-
ton Of the Saints the text being that passage in Paus
Epstle TO the Corinthians in which he exhors them
wise men," to "fee from idols" Dr. Pise began by
saying that it his intention to appeal from the deci
which accused Catholics Of idolatry in addressing
their prayers TO the Saints-he would appeal to the
wisdom candor Of his audienceto the history Of the

church OF Rome he maintained had universally warned

sing the subject ofthe Invocation Of Saints he would

nvoc alton of Saints, Catholics did not mean,
falsely asserted by to elevate the Saints into demi
gods cothe them with the attributes Of deity TheSans
merely creatures ard possessed only the ordinary
attributes OF humanity In order to show what meant
by praying them, he referred to the catechism Of the
Council of Trent translated by Professor Donovan of
the Royal College Of Maynooth and read the passage
bearing this point in which il declared that God
alone s the prayer cf the faithful addressed for the bless
ings which he has promised whilst the saints were
merely entreaed to nierceae with God in support ofhose
prayers Then Dr. Pse went on to answer the questions
=" Can the saints hear usr and secondly SO, does
prayer to them for their intercession derogatc from
the mediation OF Jesus Christ" That the Saints cannot
hear the prayers of the faithful he utterly
incapable Of proofthat they do hear them capable

the TACT that the s aaahl~d by special
manifestations OF divine favor know not only what was

He inst need several instances of this. and then
passed to the parable Of the rich who in torment
behed Lazarus in Abraham's bosom. and called on
Abraham to send to relieve him, as afordng
evidence that the Saints knew what going on on
earth, and could be properly addressed in prayer Then
he went to argue that the devil possessed the
power of going about all the earth, and tempting
every one why could not the Saints be gifted with the
power of hearing the faithful and mniserng to hem1-
Dr. next went on to vindcae the practice Of invoking
the Saints from the charge of depreciation oil the inter
cesson OF Christ He contendsd that prayers OF the
Saints only asked for and just in the same way
those Of the faithful earth and concluded by
quoting passages from the fathers in vndcation Of the
practice.
We understood DR.. Pise to intimate that he
would resume the argument on next Sunday eve-
ming.
