we answer to this, there II one man alone
who can do THE, o Lord, ia that the man
of all men to whom thDG ha1t said, .'Feed
my lambs, feed my sheep. = There 10 one
church that can and must recGiye this food
of error and sin from the hand Of its pastor,
and that church the only one to whom thou
hast said, g The gates Of hell shall not pre-
vail against it." No, my brethren, it can
not be, and we are forced to cOnclude that,
to bearken to the authoritative voice of Peter,
and since it is the destiny sOf the same
Catholic Church never to listen to the
voice of error, Peter as universal pastor
and teacher of Gods Church can never
PROFOUND or offer to her anything that is
false in doctrine nor unsound or nnholy in
morals. The third great privilege conferr-
ed on Peter was that he is the rock and the
foundation of the Church Of Christ. "The
wise man." says our Lord, built his house
upon rock; and the rain fell, aud the
foods came, and the winds blew, and it fell
not, for it was founded on a rock" Can we
suppose, my brethren, the structure of
the Church able to bear all the assaults of
error, of time, of passion, of hell, whilst the
rock and foundation stone was destroyed
Oh, no but we must acknowledge that the
promise which keeps the Church keeps al
so her foundation. That Peter in Christ
and Plus in Peter are immovable in the
truth, and that the Lord is not wanting to
His promise who said, "My spirit which is
in thee, and my words which have put in
thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy
mouth, dor out Of the mouth. of thy seed,
nor out of the mouth of thy seeds seed,
saith the Lord, from henceforth and for
ever" And what is this word, my brethren
The same prophet tells us, 'the law of
truth was in his mouth" We hail thee,
then, o Pope of Rome, successor of Peter,
as the one infallible witness and exponent
of truth upon earth. We bow down before
thy voice, o Plus, as before the voice of
Christ, the God of Truth. White with
years, broken hearted with sorrows, bowed
down with the =" solicitude of all the
churches" thou art our pastor, our father,
our guide, our head, our centre of unity, of
obedience, of love; in clinging to thee we
cling to Christ, who is behind thee. Thou
art the centre of the Church's visible unity.
and in thee ''we all melt into the unity of
the faith, aad of the knowledge of the Son |
Of God, unto a perfect man, unto the meas
IRE of the fulness of Christ"

DIR. MANNING ON THE SIrUATIoN.-A
dispatch to the New York World, dated
October, 2, gives the following paragraph :
LONDON, October "A great sermon was
preached to-day in the Roman Catholic Ca
thedral of Westminster by Archbishop
Manning on the present aspect of the Ro-
man question. The Cathedral was filled
with an immense audience, comprising
many persons eminent in political and
military life. The Prussian Ambassador,
Count Bernstorf was present, Mr.. Lowe,
the American Minister, Mr.. Motley, Mr.
Henry Bruce, Lord Lytton, aAd many
others. The Archbishop was eloquent and
earnest. He declared that Rome was to-
day in the hands of a mob; upbraided Eng
gland for Indifference to the fate of Rome,
which was the fate of Christianity and Of
civil order and praised the steadfastuess4
of prosecuted Ireland. He alluded to the
rapid growth of the faith in America. He
said the Roman question had not GUIDED
1T had only begun and warned statesmen
that the revolutionary feeling of which al
ready London had witnessed the Iurid
dawn in her streets and squares was
spreading all over Europe, and would in
all countries take the life of public order
by those same means which England APP
proved when they triumphed in Rome.
The world might seem for a time to over
come the Church ); but the world endures
for a day, the Church forever, and the ire
full day of reckoning would surely and ter
ribly come. The sermon made great i'm
preston and is everywhere talked of to-
night.

The ARCHBISHOP OF PARIS ON THE CRISIS.
His Lordship the Archbishop of Paris
has addressed to his clergy letter, of which
the following are the chief passages =
Monsieur le Cure-'God and country y
THESE words, the grandest of the human
tongue, have never pronounced with
more emotion than do to- day. The coun-
try is invaded by the foreigner and men
aced In its capital; the efforts of our heroic
army, crushed but unconquered, could not
save us from this humiliation. These blows
against France are pOignantly felt in the
heart of all her sons, and there is nothing
which they are not ready to undertake, in
concert with the government of the Ma
tional Defence, for the salvation of their
cherished country. That which we have
to do, Monsieur le Cure in this terrible
crisis, is to convey to our valiant soldiers,
the aid and the consolation of our
mlnlstrations; to solace the wounded
and aid their families, especially
their children: to encourage the popula-
ton and sustain them in their generous re-
sistance to the attacks of the foreigner,
and in fine, to pray to God, who is the Su-
preme arbiter of our destinies. All. these
things are already done, or being done.
The Paris clergy have come forward in
crowds to assist our soldiers; the twenty
one forts which surround the capital have
cticnSa cAdpiainj tno ampuianceS establish
ed at the points attacked will be attended
by priest of the nearest parish. have
offered for hospitals the diocesan establish
ments, where every corporal and spiritual
care will be lavished-on the wounded. An
establishment is about to be founded for
the poor orphans which the war will leave
to us; l have associated myself with it,
promising that you will join in helping it
to the best of your abilities. In a word,
we shall do all that is in our power to sup
port with courage, and to tighten, in favor
of your brothers, the unheard of affliction
which providence has imposed upon us.
But while fulfilling bravely the duties
which that affection throws upon us. The
inhabitants of this great city will not re-
fuse to unite with us in prayer; the most
lofty spirits join with the most pious hearts
under circumstances like the present in q
unanimous appeal to Heaven. The weak
ness of man makes every one feel the more
strongly the power of God. One only
thing ought to occupy us all, and unite us |
as brethren In common prayer and in
common effort. 1t is
ITO Save Francein Saving Paris"
"May God protect our country, and aid
it by comforting light and strength on those
who are working in its defence Accept,
Monsieur lie Cure, the assurance of my
the most affectionate and the
most sincere.
I" GEORGES, Archbishop of Paris"
