Is confession that the soul Of goodness was the

characteristics.
The neat and imposing church OF ST. Rose OF
Lima, in Cannon street. was densely crowded
yesterday. at the halfpast ten O'Clock mass. The
occasion was one in which the parishioners were
exceedingly interested and It must be said they
gave evident manifestation OF their earnestness by
the large numbers In which they congregated
The mass OF the Sunday was celebrated by Rev.
Father Daily, attended by ten acolytes. The
organist and choir performed their part with un-
Objectionable skill. The great feature OF tho day,
however, was the sermon preached by the
REV. FATHER ROGERS,
OF Brighton, Mass, who showed very great ora
torcal power throughout his whole discourse and
gave strong evidence OF more than ordinary abil-
ity. The reverend preacher, after reading the ap
pointed gospel OF the Sunday, chose his text nom
II. Matthew xvi, 17:-"Thou art Peter and upon
this rock will build my Church. and behold I am
with you all days even unto the consummation OF
the world.r
THE TRUE CHURCH,

catholic and is apostolic and II any Church be

Gods Ways Not Our Wnys--ESiseortune,
and How 1t Should Ec AcospteG--scr-
mon by DIR. Bellows.
The attendance at DR.. Bellows church yesterday
was very large, and the music as usual fine. The
sermon was preached by DR.. Bellows, who chose
for his text the words found in the fourteenth chap
ter, ninth verse; Of St. John-''fIe that hath seen
me hath seen the Father. Why say ye, then
Show us the FatherYi
These words in the Gospel OF st. John, beloved
brethren clearly show us that through Christ
alone can we reach the Father. II we wish to
know the Father we must approach Him through
the Son, whom He has sent to instruct and bring US
10 Him. Consequently, those who do not seek and
know Christ cannot ana do not know God,
for the Father and Son are one and
fnseparable. Natural religion teaches that God,
Supreme Being, lives and watches over the des-
tinies OF man and OF the world. This belief was
held In the olden times; the ancients believed in
Jove and approached him as father of men, the
earth, OF things aud their attributes. and in so
doing acknowledged him as the infinite creator and
providence.
Jove was merely figure OF our Goa, who at that
time had been almost forgotten. but whose fame
hal lived in indistlnct legend. Christ was sent
10 instruct the world as 10 the real God, whom the
wicked and sinful world had forgotten. This God
