sermon, which deeply interested crowded
congregation, was preached at morning service in
the Rev. G. S. Browns church, Perry street. by the
Rev. Abel Stevens, l.. L. D. The text was the pas
sage In the epistle OF st. Peter, "You are royal
priesthood" !" on which the preacher proceeded with
great ingenuity to construct hs theory OF the Chris
tian Church. He said when the Christian Alliance
at Berlin was asked nov to solve the question Of
bringing the aity into more elective cooperation
with the clergy the Berlin Evangelical ministers
answered, .Tbe priesthood OF the people is the SOLD
tion Of the problegi." Tne people are all priests.
The cary Christians had no technical clerical
priesthood TO dominate over the Church. There WAS
1 MINISTRY, NOT A PRIESTHOOD.
The people were all priesls iD sense, bur there
certain works which could not be done 0y all.
There were therefore, those who ainisteredn to
them and did the common work, In the same way
as under democratic government the people nave
hight to le2isla,e for themselves, but ali cannot
attend to It, and they elect a few men and make

the ministry came first TO be instituted was this:

Jews met Sabbaths, the father Of the village used
to mount the platform and read and explain tho
Scriptures and invite strange brother 10 exhort,
as happened when ST. Paul entered the synagogue,
ana when they became Christians they brought with

Sermon by Father NInth0nnct ON tho InfaIIf-
hiity Of the Catholic Church aud ON Fnith
and Miracles.
The french Catholic church In Twenty third street
Is as present undergoing repairs. Divine service was
therefore. held IN the large hail of the Basement
which admits very little OF the light Of day. The
han was well filled and the greater part of the
gregatlon were ladies and children. Father Ed
mond Aubry oficiuted at the celebration OF the
mass, assisted by six little boys, in scarlet gowns
and white surpliccs, who carried six big candle
Sucks.
The service was very impressive and the singing
In itself an attraction After reciting the gospel Of
the day Father Alexander Mathonnet, the youthful
assisan. curate OF the church, mounted the pulpit
and discoursed on faith and miracles. He said:--
We know that God created man and that we ought
to contribute to the glory OF God as
THE AUTHOR OF OUR BEING;
but how can we render homage to the greatness 0f
God2 BY faith, by implicit belief In his truths ana
miracles. This faith ought to act on our minds and
hearts. Our minds should be taught TO
believe and our hearts should prompt US
to practice those virtues which are tho
sequence Of faith. What Is faithf 1t is the convic

to by reason. Faith Is the first step which leads

she has always taught the same truths, and is tho
only medium through which we can receive the
word OF Cod She alone has the signs Of His inspira

inialibuity OF the Catholic Church.
THE REVELATION OF GOD
through the Catholic Church Is proved by She fact
that our mother Church was established at the
coming or the saviour and has been handed down
to the present time py an uninterrupted line OK
pastors Our faith, therefore, ought TO be manifested
by an implicit belief In the miracles which are pro-
claimed Dy the Church. We all believe that God
created the world. Why should we not believe thas

attributes of the Church Of CHRISTI y-s~
. THE MINDS 0P MEN

We ought therefore, TO be guided by our Mother

We infer that tnis is done for the

We have examined The supplemental

else the power 10 make original assess-

never before beard Of being claimed by,

full the powers Of the Board may be
we will Dol pretend to say; but they

"Ahl non glunge," in a manner that displayed
her remarkable voice to the best advantage,
giving also Obers Laughing Song;" bolero,
by Mr. Ritter, entitled "Inez," and the hack
neyed ballad, Comm Thro the Rye" and par
ticipatng at the close in quartette from Lucia,

Mr.. Joseph Hermanns, the popular German
basso, sang several airs in his grand
and artistic style; Mr.. Theodore Ritter
gave some brilliant performances on the piano,
q composition of his own, among others, which
was not less creditable in style than in execu-
ton; Mr.. j. f. Prume again captivated the
audience by his exquisite performances on the
violin; and Mr.. Henry Squires sang two or three
ballads and aras in attractive style. This even

gramme; and tomorrow afternoon, at 2 o'clock,
