ST. PATaIcx's CATHEDRAL.

Discourse by Rev. DIR. McSweeny.
At the principal mass at the Cathedral yesterday
the Rev. Father Mclean oficiated as ceebrant and
assisted by the usual number Of acolytes. Arch
bishop McCloskey occupied his throne at the gospel
side Of the sanctuary attended by his chaplain the
Rev. Father McNierny. At the proper part OF the
ceremony the Rev. Dr. McSweeny ascended the
pulpit, and after reading the usual notices re-
cited the gospel OF the day lJohn H., 1-1l) and
proceeded TO deliver brief discourse on the text and
on the holy name OF Jesus The discourse received
a aae aeen an bo.e nresent
who had the good fortune TO hear the reverend ora
tor. The choir composed Of the regular quartet,
assisted by well trained volunteer chorus OF some
thirty voices. sang the Fifth Mass" composed by
Gustav Schmitz, organtst Of the cathedral. This is
concerted mass, with quartet solos at the Inc1l-
natus and Tit soils, and is peculiarly smooth yet
powerful arrangement. At the Offert0ry the quar-
tet sang Jesa Del T,r, very touching arrangement
from Verdi, with good effect.

THE CHURCHES YESTERDAY
PLYMOUTH cHuacs

Beecher upou Bargains, Dress and Fraud.
Last evening Plymouth church was, as usual
ruWded to overnowing. The Rev. Henry Ward
Deecher preached an interesting sermon, the object
being TO point out the folles and frauds Of which
socety was often unconsciously guilty. He strongly
anmadverted the fact that the relations between
me employer and employed were in too many in
stances devoid OF Christian feeling and the aim
or both was consequently directed TO make as much
out OF each other as within their power lay. The
result was that the whole moral character OF the
employe was considerably damaged. Society was to
. great extent governed by pride and selhshness.
Az society was made up OF different classes, SO men
In their relative positions were more less in

FORE the acme OF folly and senshness for some
to imagine that because they were more gifted
than Others tho ignorant should in every in
tance follow In their tread. Man often used the "a
vors which God gave him TO despotize over his fel

contended that virtue did NOT result from change
of belief but from the growth OF spirituality In COM

and few had the native grace to say that they did
not wish TO appear any better than they were. For

inclined people the desire 10 dress well was pro-

better.n Continual dropping wears stone, and so
the husband is at len2th obliged to procure the
envied dress though far beyond his means. YET the
pressure upon his slim resources must be counter
balanced in some way, at the risk of being dis
hoL sst. The nordnate love OF dress took out the
enamel Of every virtue, did ostentatious vanity
make thieves. The reverend gentleman concluded
BY earnestly urging that q more Christian feeling
among society was necessary than at present ap-
peaIed TO prevail.
