Okarity-Leoture of tho Right Rev. Bishop
erosion Wednesday night last, Right
Rev. Bishop Gross delivered lecture in
the Hall of the House of Representatives,
at Atlanta, before the largest audience that
has ever been assembled there, and hun
dreds were turned away.
Col. Aleton, of the Herald, Introduced
the distinguished speaker in the following
language:
Ladies and Gentlemen-You will hear this
evening lecture on Charity-Christian Char
ity-that virtue which is said to cover q null
has an opportunity to enjoy such an intelec-
tual treat rs am justified in promising you
tonight.
language of panegyric in this presence, and I
am equally sure it would not be acceptable to
the distinguished speaker who will address
You this evening for while his fame as an
orator hos filed all the land, his humility as
Christian is equally well-known.
The Right Rev. Bishop Gross, in the dis
charge of his duties as an humble minister of
Christs gospel, came to Atlanta and delivered
two sermons at the Church of the Immaculate
Conception.
These sermons were heard by many of our
prominent citizens, who are Professionals. and
so deeply Impressed were these gentlemen
with the catholic spirit and broad charity
which pervaded Them, that they united with
many others in petition to the distinguished
public.
In compliance with that call hessppears be-
fore you this evening, and confidently be-
speak for him that attention which his oratory
and talents have never failed elsewhere to
command, and which, I am sure, an Atlanta
audience will not be the last to appreciate.
Ladies and gentlemen. introduce the Right
Rev. Bishop Gross.
The Bishop then arose, and in lofty but
easy manner addressed the multitude as
follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen-Lord Byron has
very eloquent piece of poetry, replete with
thrilling eloquence on what the condition of
this world would be if the great sun were hid
out from the heavens, or the darkness that
would cover the world over. All the despair
that would cover the hearts of men, and death
stalk abroad through the paths OF the world.
If tho sun should go into darkness, despair
would cover the earth, death would destroy all
things; but, my dear beloved friends, apart
from this what coRld the world do without
ohaFityf What, then, would this world be7
There 10 q nobler sun than the material SUI,
and that sun, ladies and gentlemen, is charity.
How strange that men do not feel the warmth
Of its influence. 1t pervades the humblest
cottage and the gilded palace. Those who
live in the humblest eotta9e will he preferred
to those in the golden palace without it.
The hard bed is sweet when charity reigns
all will be sweet, provided man lives in the
