sermon by tho Rcv. Father Duuphy- 81 The
Acceptable 1ime.O
The Rev. Father Dunphy preached the sermon a
st. Joseph's church yesterday. He took his tex
from the gospel OF the day. After alluding TO the
first advent OF the Saviour he spoke OF the festival
Of Christmas 1t was custom as old as the world
he said, for people TO celebrate with unusual
ceremony, not only the actual first day
OF hero, but each anniversary of II
was always regarded as an occasioa Tor
rejoicing. The event which Christians were now
preparing to celebrate was one FAR more worthy
grand celebration than any other when had ever
been celebrated In the world. We were now at the
close OF
A SEASON or PREPARATION,
and as we felt the s.great day" drawing nigh, the
thought whether we wed 1t or not naturally forced
itself upon our minds that another year had been
taken from our lifetime since last we had honored
the festival. In spite Of Joys, reflections would
come up before u.s. and we could not help look
ing forward, at the same time 10 the
amld clouds with great power and majcstyto Judge
every man according TO hls works. IL was at this
last hour OF the season that the Church, like "a
voice III the Wilderness called upon us to repent.
4 year had passed since last the same voice had
made Itself heard and yet how many had there been
who had listened to 1t with Indifference He would
NOT undertake to what had been the fate oil all
those who, during the year, had
PASSED AWAY FROM THIS LIFE
bnt, at any rate could now profit by their eXpe
rence aud understand the lessons and teachings OF
tue Church which they, no matter what their fate
might be, would never again have an opportunity OF
hearing, What did the language OF the Gospel in
connection with this great festival OF Christmas
teach When the Lord began His public life God
called forth from the desert OF Palestine man VINO
had lived In solitude, praying and fasting
John the Baptist. lie came forth rs the forerunner
Of the first bright Light which was 10 illuminate
the entire world. He came to preach to mankind
the .grand event" by preaching the remission OF
sins Those TO whom he had uttered words Of saliva
tion had slept for ages In the dust; yet to-day like
John tire Baptist the Church cred out To every man
repent and prepare for the coming OF the saviour
Its voice was
TIE VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS.
and the words spoken by the glorious saint eighteen
hundred years ago had lost none Of their significance
in our day.
Tue reverend father then went on, at con.
siderable length, to show that the way
Catnolics should give proper heed 10 the
voice OF the Church was to approach
the confessional and become reconciled to God,
Tney should not pos pone the day OF their return to
God he SAID, for any reason. Now was 1.-THE ac-
ceptabe llme" not Tomorrow, or next week or
next month, for the present was only ours, and no
one could guarantee what might be n store for us in
the future The church. which, like kind mother,

time turned that request into an imperative de-
mand.
