CHURCH OF ST. CHARLES B0aRoIEO.

The Resurrertion-A Self Denying PASTOR
False Teaching In Papers-ssermon by the
Rev. DR.. FrecI.
There was no high mass at the Church OF st.
Charles BOrroneo yesterday In consequence of the
Illness OF the clergyman who had intended to cele.
brateit low mass was therefore said and OF its
conclusion the Rev. Dr. Freel, the pastor OF the
church, made his appearance in the pulpit and pro-
ceedcd to deliver discourse on the "Resurrecnon
OF our Blessed Lord.n
After quoting that portion OF the Scriptures In tho
twenty-second chapter OF st. John which mentions
the unbele OF ST. Thomas he said that the resurrec
ti0n OF our Divine Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ
was the most glorious proof OF His divinity. 1t
OF the same time triumphant evidence that He
was true man and true God. 1t was the great
support and pillar OF our faith in Him our Saviour
and our 0od. HIS resurrection also was incen-
tive to our hope and love. Christ Is risen from the
dead" said the angels; "He is rsen He Is not
here"
THE EpTTAPH OF CHRIST,
therefore, might well be written in the language
| Gle is risen; He Is not here" There were the
| remains OF great men, statesmen. conquerors
| and warriors; monuments had been raised
those monu nents, "Here lie Inc remains OF such
one" giving the nancy but over the tomb or Christ

dead In the old country we see there

OF the great men OF the past are themselves dust,
and the very marble raised to perpetuate their

dor; He rises triumphant from the grave; the body
that was crucified is again living; the soul OF Christ
comes back to and enters into HIS BODY. 1t was the
sepuchre that brought BACK the blood that was
scattered In Jerusalem and bathcd

omnpotence Of God and It enters once more INTO to

Apostle st. Paul says, Christ now dies no more In
though the mass is constant showing forth OF His
death 1t is not His real death, but 1t IS renewal of
the Offering Of Christ In wonderful and mysterious
| manner Christ considered
HIS RESURRECTION THE GREATEST PART Or MS LIF1,
and truth OF His divinity. The reverend gentleman
having alluded to the circumstances connected with
| the death and resurrection OF our Lord observed
that the only conclusion to he arrived at was that
He had risen from the dead; for 1t was said, "He Is
| risen; He Is not heren Christ frequently told HIS
apostles, and told the mu!ntude, that He

again; that lie would lay down His life and take 1t
up again. There Is no doubt OF the resurrection OF
| Christ. We oil know that He Is risen from the
dead; but there are others who do not believe mat
| who dc not believe tina, He Is the Son Of God.
Therefore, we must remember this
GREAT TRUTH or THE RESURRECTION,
| and meet the objections OF those who dispute the
truly risen from the dead there Is therefore, another
life after this. He had the power OF God in rising
from the grave. There Is heaven and there Is hell.
Remember the graphic description lie gives OF

When we think OF heaven we cannot refuse to think

Christs teaching. the truth OF Chrlsts teaching

say that what Christ taught Is not true. why,

every day. 1t VIII lead to destruction.

Those mat believe viii be saved;

reverend gentleman concluded his interesting dls
course by brilliant peroration on the glores OF
eternal life and the rewards God has In store LOT
those who submit to HIS holy Will with resignation
