can deny, however bold and proud he may
be. AS to the insufficiency of Reason, it can
be easily proved in few words.
Let us admit that Reason is perfect in
every man, and is always rightly used /;
still we must acknowledge that, even in
that case, it could never reach beyond the
truths of the natural order. But we have
seen that truth, which is infinite, can
not be limited by the narrow boundaries Of
our Reason. No man will deny that AL
mighty God has the power of manifesting
those truths to us, if he pleases. 1t is evil
dent that Reason, by its natural power;could
never attain those truths, nor even suspect
their existence. They can be known only
through a manifestation given us by AL
mighty God, in the manner he thinks pro-
per. And it is. that Divine Manifestation
which we call Revelation, without which
these supernatural truths would forever re-
main unknown to/us.
Therefore, must be admitted by every
sensible man, that Reason is deficient, in
many instances, for the truths of the natu-
alorder, and completely insufficient and
inadequate for the truths of the supernatu-
raj order.

claim reward-in the shape of cur readers
thanks-for having found and presented to
them string of pearls Lost from the treasury
of the fair and opulent Hermine," yet not

While ON the subject, we may say that the
jewels in question were originally dropped in
a sermon of the Rev. Father Henessy, delivered

The Fate of Error.

We often hear of poetical justice-ot
that visible retribution which, in works
drawn from the Imagination, always over
taxes wrong, and we laugh at it as a poeti-
cal fiction. 1t is true that q an eve for an
eye is not an invariable sequence now-a-
days, yet, generally, it will be found that
injustice fecoils upon it's own author. Es-
peclally Is this the case among nations and
associations which, as such, have no future
existence. = --z----

The Poor Ye Have Always Among You

The spirit of charity is SO truly neces-
sity to Christian soul, that it should be a
cause of Thanksgiving that a field is never
wanting for it's culture. The promises to
those who remember the poor are SO
| abundant, the rewards SO inviting, that no
other incentive would seem to be required
for its practice.
In our last number, attention was called
to Il charity sermon in behalf of the funds
the Conference of ST. Joseph Society of
st. Vincent de Paul We have now to an
nouncc that the sermon will be preached by
Father Jacob, Redemptorist, at st. Joseph's
Church, Common street, this erening at z
o'clock. We hardly think it necessary to
enlarge on the righteousness of the object
which it is intended to subserve- The un-
precedented demand on private and asso-
ciate beneficence has exhausted all avail
able resources of the society, rendering an
appeal to more enlarged sphere absolutely
necessary. Apart from the worthiness of the
cause, we feel assured we are warranted in
promising rich intellectual treat to those
who will attend on that occasion. Father
Jacob, who has kindly acceded to the
wishes OF the Conference, enjoys the reputa-
ton of an accomplished orator, and with such
a theme cannot fail to realize the expecta-
lions OF his audience Yespers will begin
at 2 o'clock, to be followed by the sermon
and the Benediction of the Most Blessed
Sacrament. We hope there will be large
forgetting that " He who
giveth to the poor, lendeth to the Lord.n

FORTY HouRs' DEvoTIos.-The exercises of
forty Hours will commence to-day, Quinqua-
geslma Sunday, and be continued on the two
following days, in all the churches which are
authorized to practice this devotion, during
the three days preceding Lent. These Forty
Hours have for their special object to make
some amends to our Lord in the holy Sacra-
ment, for the -outrages which are too often
committed by bad Christians, profaning by
excuses the days which precede times of re-
pentance. Trae Catholics will unite, as far a
possible, in this neutrality-suspicious., which the
Church solemnly offers to our Lord.

CONFESSIONAL paragraph III our foreign
religious summary. from the London : Catholic
.Registcr, alludes to anticipated conversions
from the English Church, which would cause
more sensation than thatlollowin-s the CONVEX
sion of Newman, Manning, and others. 1t now
appears from positive information that has
been received in New York that the Bishop OF
Oxford has openly gone over to-thc Roman
Catholic Church. and is making great breeze
among he Epise"palians--somc of whom are
unwilling to-eredIt il. The authority for the
statement is Il private letter. said to have been
written by the Bishop himself TO friend in

addressed to his understanding-thel latter
to his heart, and through it to his will.
The soul of man consists of memory, un
Outstanding, and will, and of these the no.
olest is the will. Apure Intelligence, with
out emotion or sensibility, would be like
light without faith without charity.
Inc understanding takes cognizance of alb
stract truth, the will, of good and etil.-
Those truths which address themselyes
simply to the understanding, cannot move
the will, but those which gobeyond the un-
derstanding, and appeal to the>Passions of
the heart, which present pictures >of good
and evil, and create desire or fearZthcse
are the ones that act upon tile will, and in,
fuence it.
And these are the arguments that would
appear proper for the conversion of men
not simply abstract truths, but truths
clothed with qualities of attraction or re-
pulsion. The mere existence of Heaven
and He'll is almost universally accepted
without any marked effect, but glimpse
of the one. with its horrors, or of the other,
with it's delights, would almost ensure the
conversion of any sinner. -
LII the same way, a conclusive argument
as to any OF all the dogmas of the Church,
might have no effect whatever on will
that would yet be greatly moved by the
sight of true Christian humility or charity.
The most effective argument in favor of the
Church is that pointed out by our Saviour
himself-her fruits of holiness ard the bad
example of Catholics is the most terrible
argument of her opponents. Without that.
heresK would haxe no substantial existence.
True zeal, then, would consist, not in
heated arguments, but in exemplary life
not in alternating by harsh reproofs, but in
conciliating by kindness. The very impress
OF a good life on the countenance, is highly
edifying; SO that often an ordinary sermon.

ASH Observation-Disclosures next, Goth f
fepruary, Will commence the Holy Season of
Lent which has for its object to prepare us, by
works OF penance, to celebrate worthily the
Strand Soicmnity of Easter. The-4tanner of
observing Lent has undergone many changes
during different centuries, according to climate
and people, conformaby to the right of the
Church to modify or discipline; but9tle insti-
tuition itself had its origin in Apostolic times.
The forty days fast which compose the Season of
Lent serve to recall the fast of our Lord in the
desert, after having received baptism from St
JOHN, and which preceded his public preach
ing And this fast itself had been prefgured
and announced by the forty days fast of Moses
and Elias

Our patrons, certainly, could not have been
more annoyed than We're, at the discovery
that the Star and Messenger was not promptly
delivered last Sunday. Relying on what we
considered adequate arrangements, our clragrin
may be guessed when it was made apparent
that our efforts were nugatory by the incompe-
tency or unfaithfulness of those relied on
We are perfectly alive to the importance of
this matter, and determined no pains or
expense will be spared to have the paper pune
tually delivered. The city has been divided
into routes-a corps of carriers engaged-and
every precaution taken which human foresight
could devise, to secure faithfulness in this de-
partment. But as, notwithstanding, omissions
may occur, we will consider it n favor, if they
are made known to this office.
