FATHER onAULEY on THE CHICAGO
I'D CALAMITY.

At the nine O'Clock mass at St. Theresa's church
yesterday the Rev. Mr.. McAuley announced that col
leclions were about being made in aid OF the suffer-
ers by the Chicago calamity. Having referred In
the most touching manner 70 the terrible conse-
quences OF the fre-a beautiful city reduced To
ashes, men and women, young and old, huddled
together in the most dreadful forms OF human
misery-the reverend gentleman observed that
though 1t was not competent for them -
inquire why Providence In His all wise mercy
had seen ht TO strike the devoted city, 1t was
at the same time only natural to attribute il
destruction to the prevalence OF crime. Chicago
was regular S0dom, and while being the
centre or wealth, II was also the seat OF infAmy.
Sin had brought It's own punishment ana he trusted
that the fate OF Chicago would prove warning to
other cities nvaling It IN infainy. Since the Deuge
every calamity that had befaen the world was Tho
result OF sn and 1t was impossible to steer our way
back through the history OF the past without keep
ing eye on the Divine Helmslnan VINO guided the
deStinies OF the world. Father NcAuey passed .
high eulogy on those who had so nObly helped their
suffering brethren and said che ready manner In
which they dl0 80 clearly demonstrated that though
the Spirit OF Darkness held his sway to great ex-
tent the fear OF God and the love OF virtue
mated. The fate OF Chicago was q sign thai evtl
times were At hand and that the sins OF mankind
had called TO Heaven for that vengeance which u
now falling fast and heavy upon us.
