THE MISSION Al THa CATHOLIC
CHUROH.

The subject Of the sermon on last evening
was "Siu and its Punishment"
Father Coghlan took for his text the l4th
verse SO chap OF Isaiah--"Which Of you can
we'll with deyouring FIRE, which of you shall
dwell with everlasting burnings ~
The learned Father went ON to say that
many disbelieve in q future punishment,
or rather tia. by saying 49, make themselves
believe 1t, but can merely thinking or say
ing so doaway with belief that has existed
since the creation of the world-that there
is Hell? Reason tells us that Just Judge
will puaish person in accordance with the
suormi.y of his cri0e-if one offend q per-
son 10 high office his punishment 10 greater
than if he offended a vagrant. How much
greater should be the punishment if he
ofrends the Creator. The enormity Of the
offence 10 the case Of the sinner is owing to
whom is offended, and is punished accord
ingly.
Father Coghlsn spoke at length of Tie
/ different sins of hearing, touch, speech and
taste. He warned ali in his hearing agains,
the evil effects of the romancss, fash new
papers and sensational dramas of the day, the
demorAlizing ten iency ofihe dram shops; as
ISOLATION xi,h the atheist and the Indifferent
list. He con enned the slanderer and the lis
tener.
He made an esrnesI and eloquent appea
to those Catholics of Rock Island who have
not attended TO their dulies duriag the
Mission, - do SC.
i Hs warned The community to beware OF
the protesting, but non practicing Catholics
BE described wildly he sOrnents of he'll
aud its endless tortures.
In speaking of eternity, he said if al
angel from heaven was to pick up one grair
Of sand from the sea shores of the worl+
once in thousand years, there yet woult
remain an eternity. Eternity is incompre
hensibe to the human mind. And e,erna
punish nent is the doom Of the unr4pentau
, sinner
! Admitting The Bible, one must believe il
the eternity Of punishments and reward
4 hereafter.
, BY numerous quotations from the Bible
Father Coghlan described the diTeren
punishmeots inflicted on those goilty of sin
3. of hearing, touch, speech and taste.

noso by their speculative countrymon Is evil
dent to any one who has watched the pro-
grcss Of the canvass. For instance, In New
York the Post assures us that the indica-
tons 10 that city are that they will cast
larger yota for General Grant and General
Dix this fan than they have ever thrown for
any Republican ticket. In 1868 there were
but about seven thousand names enrolled on
the lists Of the German ward clubs. Upwards
Of fourteen thousand have been enrolled thus
far In the present campaign, and the average
daily acCcssions Ia about four hundred, while
the German Greeley and Brown clubs make
but little headway, and have obtained but
about six thousand names up to the present
time" The same journal goes on to say
There are altogether about thlrty-hvo thou
sand German voters In New York. The best
informed German politicians believe that
General Grant will receive fully twenty thou
sand Of these; that Eve thousand, following
the advice Of the Sddis. ZciitnJ will abstain
from voting, and that II Greeley gets the re-
naming ten thousand he will do we'll An
other significant Indication Of the direction
In which the wind Is blowing among the Ger
mans Of New York Is the fact that the widely
circulated NJD Yorker zdgcsndclrichter, Che
German edition Of Ben. Woods EUcRinJ
Ne,cs,) which Nt the beginning Of the cam
paigu was an enthusiastic Greeley organ, has
become ominously moderate; so that Greeley
has but one German organ left, the Neto
Yorker Journal which last year defended
the Tammauy thieves to the end, and whose
circulation since has been very limited. On
the other hand, the OeStliohe Post aud the
Moo Yorker Demokrdt are rapidly gaining in
circulation
