CATHOLIC CHAPEL CORNER STONE LAYING.

Yesterday afternoon, IN presence OF an immense
concourse Of people, numbering between 5000 and
5000 persons, the stone Of the cathedral
chapel OF Our Lady and St. Patrick now in course OF
erection on a magnificent site on South Broad
street, Newark, n. j., was placed In position with
the impressive ceremonies peculiar to tho Catholic
Church. A procession OF clergy, the Society
Of st. Vincent de Paul and the Seminaries
from Seton Hail College formed al the resi-
dence on South Broad street, OF Mr.. Towle and
proceeded to the chapel grounds. A very effective
sermon was preached by Rev. p. McCarty, Vice
President Scion Hall college. after the stone had
been laid by Vicar General Nj. a. Corrigan. The
other cergymen present were Rev. Fathers q. d.
Doone T. NJ. Killeen, j. +. Dalton, G. A. Reilly and
DIR. Z. J. Garvey.
The new chapel is merely the beginning OF the
contemplated work. 1t Is intended as soon as suf-
cent funds are raised to erect grand cathedral
which Will be the Notre Dame OF New Jersey. The
lot, purchased some time ago at cost OF $50,OOO
has frontage on Lagrange street OF 2o4 feot with

REV. n. CAUSES CHURCH,

Sermon by the Rev. DIR. Martyr Scuddcr, Of
San Francisco.
A sermon was preached by this gentleman in the
Rev. DR.. Causes church, In Twenty third street.
yesterday forenoon. He took his text from st. Paus
epistle to the Ephesians. He described Paul as a
man Of great intellectually, who chad his eye
always on God," and who loved him with mis- whole
heart. In the passage from which ne read of the
Scriptures wherein the apostle ntmates that there
is one thing that he lacks to bo as he desired to be-
in perfect communion with God. the speaker said
that that one thing was personal perfection In its
entirety. There two kinds OF personal perfec-
tion-the inward and the outward. The nrst was the
perfection OF the soul ITSELF and that was what Paul
said he had not. Yet II any man but Jesus the God
man. was perfect, 1t was Paul. His love for God his
gratitude, his Joy ana intelligence, hts sef-sacr-
fees, all call for special admiration. Yet he said
minister say he was perfect and ne never wanted to
hear that minister speak again. Christian perec-
ton consisted, nrst, In perfect not infinite know.
ledge, for infinite knowledge was Gods alOne that
s just as much knowledge as we have capacity for,
Tor the small az well rs the great secondly the har
mony OF all our faculties and powers, and, thirdly,
purity Harmony should exist In the soul; instead
or worrying We should be at peace. Our vsonsshoud
be undsturbed, No two powers sho ud be pulling
IN dnerent wavs, like unframed oxen under the
same YOKE Putty, as O part OF Christl@l perfec-
ness OF our lives. All wrinkles should be smoothed
III excresSences wiped OF, all unevenness levelled.
Ihen, as the last quality OF perfection. was fellow
snip. lne speaker then went on TO describe what
faui meant by forgetting the past. lie sad there
was no sadder sight tnan that OF person In mature
MANHOOD mourning over his past life, over time
wasted away, sinned away. The past could not be
sense OF the term; but it could be crowded out OF
the mind by other thoughts. What Paul really
meant was " forget the past ip the way Of any dc
