ST. STEPHENS CHURCH.

Sermon by tho Rev. Father Glnck.
myer-Faith and Morals-Progress OF
tho Mission - Tho Crowds In the
Church.
The mission which was opened at st. Stephens
church on Sunday, November 3, has been, SO far, q
great success. Thousands Of persons have been
induced by the eloquent appeals Of the Jesuit
fathers to approach the sacraments. At all the
masses each evening during the week numbers of
people attended and the exhortations and sermons
were listened to by audiences which filled the
church In every part. Yesterday morning at the
high mass 80 dense were the crowds in attendance
that the aisles were filed with people unable to
get seats.
At the usual hour of the mass, which was cele.
brated by the Rev. Father McQuirk, the Rev.
Father Glackmyer, on whom devolves the most
iaborious share of the missionary work, ascended
the pulpit, and after announcing the order OF SER
vices for the ensuing week preached an able dis
course from the Gospel OF the day, the twenty-fth
Sunday after Pentecost-Matthew kill. "a, 80.
The parable contained in the Gospel is simple
Dne but 1t is full OF profound instruction. It puts
before our eyes the state OF society, good and bad
The eye alone sees where the wheat Is and where
the cookie. Exteriorly the world is harmony, but
the all-discerning eye-the Almighty-sees where
Is the good and where Is the bad. As Eneas In the
cloud saw the queen, though she saw him not so,
five might use the simile, God sees all Of us,
though we see Him not. What is the field spoken
Of IN the Gospelf That field Is the Church which
Christ came on earth to establish-the Church
which Is the spouse Of Christ. When Christ estab-
!ished His Church the field was barren and full OF
thistles; at that time, as Bossuet says '.al was
God but God himselfn The god that reigned was
the god that ruled at Rome. 1t was reign Of
ply has spoken beautiful words, but they are for
the and not for the heart. The saviour's words
are truth, made for the heart intended to lead us
to salvation. In giving His love He did not
use words that would teach US the comforts Of the
world He knew His words would bear their own
we are now engaged in spiritual mission; Let
Your hearts At baptism faith was Infused % into to
your souls An enemy has come to disturb you
It Is yourselves your pride, seiwill, sensuaty
waver, perhaps because you feared the Judgment
OF your neighbor, perhaps because the yoke was
your reason, in PRIDE rebelled against faith. You
have been wavering because you allowed
heart, and both weakened each other. Christ has
given His blood that you might have faith. Why
M dd he not when III He came came on earth bring the aid
Could He not have added something to the facility
and security OF its establishment had He brought
down some OF the angels from heaven to insure
belief in His teachings But He asked no aid from
those of the world He sought no assistance from
dom. The strength Of the Church is in Christ's
words, in His liie In His promises. 1t relies too
mics and finally triumphs. II grew from the num-
ber OF the disciples until IL embraced all the world
and until its spirit ruled the hearts Of all men. In
establishing such kingdom OF souls Christ did not
ask the aid OF worldly princes kings nor has the
Church ever asked the assistance OF the world in
preserving Its supremacy. The first OF moral
teachings Is to love the Lord thy God with thy
whole heart and soul and thy neighbor as thyself
for the love OF GOD. God requires of US to love
Him and to love our neghbor, and here we have
the precept which embodies the Christians rule Of
life But to love the Lord 1t is necessary to con-
quer ones sel II Is necessary II we want to follow
Christ that We take up He himself tells
us. We must deny ourselves IN many things that
our hearts may be pure enough to be one with
HIS we must walk In the paths OF virtue, with
out rear or alterng trusting not to ourselves but
To Him who gives help when IL is sought for and
VINO sends us trials but for triumphs. In all rela-
tlons OF LIE the great first precept should be
steadily kept in view-Love God and thy neiphbor:
love thy neighbor that you may please God and do
10 no man that which you would wish to be done
TO yourselves; and servants serve thy masters.n
This IS the teaching OF Christ, which, IN the past
was observed, and then there were dlstracting
c0nnicts, such as nowadays seem to be looming
up, perhaps to take most serious shape in coming
umes During this mission, when God showers
graces, let us implore that any Of you who are In
SIN shall throw Off the yoke OF Satan and be re-
reshed again with that inteI ior peace which is to
be found alone in grace.
Munier's, which selected by the pastor as it is
one OF the shortest OF thef leading compositions.
the singers are deserving OF the highest praise for
the excellence of their respective parts and Mr.
the mass was presented. Miss Emma Howson the
soprano, was scarcely ever in better voice and the
soios whch iell to her were rendered in that ac-
curate and admirable style which has long since
placed TINS lady among the FIRST OF church So
pranos. Miss Munier was, as usual, very effective
Colletti sung the "Laudamus Ten OF the ''Gloria''
with nne spirit and with the evident talent OF
genuine artist. In the afternoon Donizettis
s'Vcspers'' were given.
