Good for Evil-Sermon by the Rev. Father
Mooney.
The Roman Catholic church OF st. Bridget, situated
on the corner or Eighth street ana avenue b. Is one
or the finest OF the East side churches. 1t has
very large congregation and an excellent pastor In
the Rev. Father Mooney who by his zeal has made
his church and Its belongings what they are at
present. The organ Is one OF the finest In the CITY,
and the choir, which is almost entirely composed OF
volunteers Is In an admirable state or cultivation.
The inside Of the church is well adapted to religious
services, there being an air Of sanctity throughous
the building, heightened by the disposition Of light
which streams In through the painted windows with
its prllilancy toned down and, as 1t were, afraid

congregation Is very large and on yesterday, at the

text the parable contained IN st. Matthew xviii, 70
