Sermon by the Rev. Father Deshon-Fulness
Of Faith.
At the high mass performed In this church yester.
day the Rev. Father Deshon preached to an over.
flowing congregation. He based his sermon on the
words OF the afflicted Hebrew woman:-"nI only
touch the hem OF His garment l shall be healedn
In language at chaste and vigorous he pointed
out how sweetly the divine and human were
mingled in this sentiment. 1t was human be-
cause 1t was the cry Of suffering and sorrow.
1t was cry Of the heart She had spent
her substance on physicians, and she still
out her cure. Her sentiment was divine, because t
possessed the funess Of faith. She did not wish to
employ the attention Of the Saviour. She thought
herself unworthy Of His courteses though He was
sweetness Itself to all. If she could Dut touch
His garment she felt she would he heaed. APP
preaching Him with this mind she touched Him
and she was healed. The disease which mad bowed
which had ba1led mere worldly skill and knowledge
all disappeared in virtue OF tine faitn when Was III
her.
The preacher dilated at great length and with a
1ne tervor and persuasive eloquence on the lesson
to be learned from this narration, so redolent of
redeemlng charity. he reminded his hearers OF the
volatility OF the human heartits capapIlity vi good,

This was description OF Jesus Christ

not pray 20 be seen OF men. He sought the ear and
eye of God alone, he knelt in suppicaton to Him.
But IT was not necessary to SO up mountain heights
or In secret places to pray. One could pray any
where and at all times. Silently ones thoughts and
or JOURNEYS or business. Omnlpotence sits by our
side. VINO can tell the influence OF this intimacy
