greatest Of our national holidays to-day, because IL
II the Lords Day, speaks volumes in our favor as
righteous people. Perhaps there is but one other
nation-the Briush-that would have deferred It's
grand national holiday for the sake of the Christian
sabbath. lt Ia Dinety-three years to-day since the
immortal Declaration OF independence was given to
country and the world. The nation has had career
OF unparalleled prosperity. AT the first census the
population was hree millions, OF whom six hundred
thousand were slaves. To-day the population Is be-
tween thirty ana forty millions and not slave In the
land The revenue at that time reached four millions;
today about two billions. "What hath God wrought1

Anniversary Of the Martyrdom of its Patrons--
Sermon by Rev. r. f. uoriarty, OF Albany.
The announcements that the martyrdOm OF SITS.
Peter and Paul would be celebrated in the church
bearing their names in Williamsburg Rev. Sylvester
Malone, pastorl drew together an unusually large
congregation yesterday.
The imposing ceremony was conducted by Father
Malone, assisted by three clergymen from other par
shes. The mass sung was Haydn's 'Imperial. No.

quartet choir, with orchestral accompaniment. The
Old cahedrakllke edlfce was never before filled with
such sweet concordant sounds.
After the singing OF the Stabat Mater by Mr.. NJ G.
OF Albany, read the gospel OF the DAY, Matthew,
Spinner and Nine Coletti, the Rev. +. +. Moriarty.
XVI l3 10 lsl and preached a sermon appropriate to
it. Mr.. Moriarty thought 1t quite unnecessary to
speak at Length on the personal characteristics OF
the two great iapostes OF Christianity. Their histo
res are familiar to all Christian people,
the Church. The deep love and strong
faith OF Peter made him chief OF the
apostolic band and. that faitn Christ
built His church. Behold Paul before kings as much
at home as when he was teaching the ignorant or
confoundlng the learned. Both apostles conquered
the world, the nesn and the devil without armies or
nayies. Truth was the only weapon they used. The
faith within them gave them strength. This faith
now anlmates the Church. II is the same o-day as
1t was when gvenby Christ to His saints. II puri6es
life aud sanctthes rs IN death. Take il away and
there is religion left. Those who have it not are
deserving OF commiseration. They have per-
verted dispositions snd stubborn minds. They
think that faith is an od-iashoned notion
that should only be entertained by little
They believe 1t TO be contrary to the spirit
OF the times. But such philosophers have no pro-
per conception of Christs divine mission while we
accept Him and cling TO His Church. They main
tain tnat unity Of faith letters the mind Tie unity
OF the Church under Its Infalibe head is the glory
OF the children OF men. Mr.. Moriarty concluded hls
