large congregation attended high mass at the
Cathedral yesterday with the usual apparent de-
gree OF devotion. Everything looked cheerful
The san poured In upon the asles In all its bril-
fancy, casting the variegated shadows OF the
stained windows upon the ornamentations OF the
interior, making roseate cheeks and blue Spring
toilets look brilliant. The affairs we're, as is GUS
tomary, richly decorated. The Rev. Father
Kearney ofliciated as celebrant, the Very Rev.
Vicar General Quinn assisting in the sanctuary
The sacred music was exceedingly well executed
by the organist Mr.. Gustavus Schmit, land the
choir rendered the solos and quartets with grand
and poetic effect.
The sermon, which was preached by the Rev.
Father McNamee, was on "The Ascension OF Our
Lord into Heaven" After reading the Gospel Of
the day he chose his text from st. john xvi, =
at Is expedient for you that 90, because IL 20
not the Paracete will not come TO your The great
feat OF the ascension, which was the browning
work OF our Saviour's career, was worthy OF deep
that which augments the faith and increases the
hope OF the earnest and straight-think1ng Chris
tan. Jesus In the prime OF His manhoos In all the
loneliness and beauty OF His personal character as
man, went forth from His lowly habitation In Naz-
areth TO carry out the Will OF His Father. All that
was necessary TO accomplish this object lie per-
formed without hesitation q rest, until that day
when, like another Isaac He mounted the rugged
heights OF Calvary, bearing with Him the wood for
the sacrifice which he himself was to expiats-as
the Lamb that was slain for the sins OF the world.
Then after His death and triumphant resurrection
He spent forty days on earth, during which time He
built His church upon throne SO solid aud mag
nincent that all the attacks OF ages have not been
able to subject or sEbvert it.

CHURCH OF THE DIVINE PATERNITY.
God ms n Consuming Fire-Sermon by
the Rev. Mr.. Pullman.


the Rev. Mr.. Pullman.
The departure on Saturday OF the Rev. Dr.
Chaplin for Europe on his Summer vacation was
sensbly manifest in the diminished attendance at
the church yesterday morning, and this notwith-
standing the fact that during his absence the Rev.
Mr.. Pullmans congregation met also in this
church for religious worship. The Rev. Mr.. Pull
man preached the discourse from the text Hebrews
xiii, 29-"For our God Is q consuming fire." This
highest truth OF the world 1t took long time to
find out And yet IL was . most simple
truth. This great truth was that this world
Is ruled by love. 1t the love OF God which sur
passeth the understanding. There we re three
grades of love. The first was that inducing to
seek companionship-the gregariOusness of man.
This was selfish love. The next was that holding
society together. This was higher love-eur fam
lily love, our church love, society love. The third
is Gods love-the highest greatest, strongest love
>oi all. The consuming fire was not the old hell 1t
was the IRE that burned us clean. 1t carried with
IL an awful terror or q cheerful promise. Ged
came as the only possible hope. He would
burn all that was destructDle out OF them-all that
was nncean ana unholy. False notions led you
to many that the doodgates OF evil were opened by
the doctrine that every human soul, however
wicked, would be saved at last On the contrary,
theirs was not q doctrine likely to encourage men
in their sins God was against sin, and as He was
against SIN He was for the sinner. God loves us
that Is why lie hates SIM The theology founded
on mans dread OF pain appeals to man to be
good so as to avoid pain. Not the selfish can APP
preciate the great law OF God, but only the spirit
ual and aspiring. The fire OF Gods eternal love
lays hold OF everything; 1t burns all that Will burn.
The fire tries every mans work and proves what
sort Of work It Is. Man may XIII his body but the
are working oil the time. They might baDsh, as
they think, God for time but Gods consuming fire
built goes away in smoke end flame. All the
while Gods love Will pursue them.

The following sermon was preached at the Church
OF st. Vincent de Paul yesterday In Twenty third

Ronay:-
I have. he said, the noble privilege, nv
brethren, OF appealing TO you TO-DAY on behalf OF

but to-day my topic will be the aged poor and their

old people, for whom plead, whose sands OF life
have nearly run out, whose weak and tottering
limbs need support, are treated with loving kind

as necessary appanage, has given up all hope,
and locks forward with pleasure and happiness 10

returns. Youth looks forward to bright DAYS: old
age looks back merely to q long vista OF sadly

suits.
Yesterday morning DR.. Ormistsn was absent from
mis- church and DR.. Vermilyea took his place. After
the prayer and singing OF the hymn Dr. vermilyea,
taking his text from one OF the Epistes OF PAU,
preached on the inherent truths OF the Christian
religion and the many evidences which exist that
1t is founded on all that is righteous and readily de-
monstrable. He spoke Of therssdence Of God-of
the evidence that had place Of abode. In
the old time His holy speakers said that God had
several resdences-one the Ark OF the Covenant,
and others, the highest being the heaven Of
heavens But 1t was evident in all this that there
was some place. The Tabernacle was the place
where God dwelt on earth among men and heaven
the place where he dwells among the angels and
blm Of glory. There, seated on the throne He
was enabled to allow mercy to override strict JUS

should, under certain conditions, be with God
and see him 10 heaven. This promise
himself to fulfil it. His promise was suricient-
all-sufficlent This indeed was no special work OF
Christ IN heaven. 1t was told US IN the Holy Scrip,
lures that Christ was risen from the dead and had
assembled into heaven. The speaker was talking
OF wonderful things, and we were to believe they
not true, then the Bible is not true, and then all
our hopes OF an after lie, OF redemption, must
vanish. One necessity brought on another 1t Is
certain, then, that Christ was taken up 70 heaven
and In the body. How this was done, OF course we
cannot understand, but we may suppose that there
was some change IN his body, though he was still
material, having assembled in his earthly shape.
Some people doubt therefore. that Christ iB to
enter into the presence OF God the Father, but
that he remains IN some outer court But we
have no reason to believe this Christ has gone
into the presence OF His heavenly Father and there
he ntercedes for US. He went there for us, and to
satisfy the law He must be made perfect All the
prophecies OF the Old Testament and the subse-
quent developments OF the New Testament prove
the truth OF the Christian religion, and that we
cannot but love and revere the One who sacrificed
