Yesterday the mellow sun OF Pentecost shone

went forth from their many homes and moved in
great streams animate with bright and cheerful
color to the temples, from whose bell towers rang
musical invitations to devotion In clear and
happy tones Under the softly dazzling sky
magnificent in Its depth OF mystic beauty, feeling
of Thanksgiving must have been inspired in the
hearts OF the church.goers. Their paans OF praise
and humble supplicatons wree more intensely de-
vout than usual. Every edihce OF worship was
dlled by multitude. Whether the preachers were
inspired to higher eloquence and fervor than
Is usual for them can be judged from the sketches
OF their sermons, which are published below. Pen
tecost, with its eloquent memories and associa
tions, was the rich topic upon which many OF them
spoke. The Catholic and Episcopal churches espe-
cially celebrated the great festival OF Whitsunday
with splendid ceremonies. In the former
also reference was made to the annual
collections for the Holy Father. Next Sunday will
be devoted to this mission by the priests Of all the
churches of this diocese, in accordance with the
circular which Archbishop McCloskey has issued to
them, and in which he strongly appeals to the
charitable for this noble cause:-
REV. DEAR SIR beg 10 notify You that the
annual collections for the Holy Father will be made
In all churches OF the archdiocese on Trinity Sun
day, the Sth OF june
~ piS"oOu w hohC VIC pioPOi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
and TO eXhort your people at the same time to
contribute with even more, If possible, than their
accustomed generosity. There are urgent reasons
why they should do so. The temporal necessities
of our beloved Pontiif keep pace with the
daily increasing trials and suierings which he is
forced to endure. He still sees the work
OF sacriege and spoiaton carried on around him
with holder effrontery and more bitter impiety;
he sees defenceess religious OF both sexes driven
from their peaceful homes robbed of their little
sOute destitution. No wonder that his paternal
heart is overwhelmed with sorrow, less even for
himself than for his afflicted children wonders
health and strength which have seemed to be little
less than systematically sustained should begin to
succumb beneath so many and such heavy bur-
dens. Let none Of US. then, at such "a moment,
falter in our best and most earnest efforts to al
tions. Very truly, your friend and brother
in Christ tJOHN, Archbishop OF New York.

Ghost-"Thy sins are forgiven theel" 1t was not
sire to receive its blessings; for mankind were
like men with food before them and having an
earnest desire to partake OF 1t, and yet were
unable to appropriate It, They might offer the
prayer-"O God feed me with the bread OF life"-
but the Spirits influence must first quicken the
soul into new life. When the Spirit spoke with
wlstful eloquencs to the heart the disciple OF
Christ rested upon the promises OF God and had
10y and peace in believing.
In conclusion the Doctor said that these ministra-
lions of divine grace could not be purchased by
silver and gold, nor could refinement and position
claim them We must love the truth and practice
It, and by so doing we would secure the comforting
influence OF the Spirit which was the gift OF God
unto eternal lite, through Jesus Christ
Al the close OF the sermon the Holy Communion
was administered by the rector.

ST. PATRIoK's CATHEDRAL.

The Descent or the Holy Ghost and His
Continued Presence with tho Church
Sermon by the Rev. John j. Kean.
At the above named ediflce, yesterday, solemn
high mass was celebrated by His Grace the Most
Rev. Archbishop McCloskey assisted by Fathers
McNamee, BrOphy and Kearney, who officiated as
deacon, sub-deacon and master OF ceremonies re-
spectively. The performance OF the choir was
Schmitz's Mass No. 4, the composer himself pre-
siding at the organ. At the appropriate hour the
Rev. Father Kean assembled the pulpit and took Tor
his theme the gospel of the day, John XIII, 30, 81.
This Gospel contains
PROMISE MADE
to the Apostles the fullnlment OF which the Church
commentaries with JOY on the Feast or Pentecost.
He told them that the Paraclete should come and
teach them all truth. The Apostles were wander
ing. as it were, in the twilight Of that dawn which
Christ had raised around them, and they were
waiting for the advent OF the MONDAY light to
lumne them. And on the anniversary OF the day
on which God Numbered from Mount Sinat on the
birth day OF the old law, the Holy Spirit came as
day was the birthday OF the Church. He came like
the sound OF mighty wind to teach them that
they should 60 forth and triumph over every OBJ
Stacle in carrying His name to the uttermOst bounds
OF the earth. We can plainly behold the zeal with
which the apostles were fired when we contrast the
fear or
THE POOR FISHERMAN
on the night preceding his Masters crucifxi0n
with his courage on the day OF PentecOst, when he
went forth boldly among the enemies OF Christ and
converted three thousand OF them In single day.
And from that day TO the present the Church has
continued to make similar triumphs despite the
Vaccinations OF enemies, and the result OF her end
less struggles and victories is to be found In the
promise OF her Divine Founder that He would be
with her until the end OF time, and that the gates
OF hell should never prevail against her. Great
reason. then we have to rejoice IN this festival, in
the consciousness OF the eternal presence OF the
Holy Ghost in the Church. But 1t would Ill become
us to so rejoice were We TO remain deaf to the
VOICE OF THIS HOLY SPIRIT
Often has he spoken to us-not, perhaps, like the
sound of the wind that alarmed the Apostles, but
through the silent dictates of conscience. Let US
harken to this voice. and beSeech Him to purify us
and cleanse our hearts from the stain OF sin let us
beg or Him to come and dwell within US and sane
tfy u.s. the better to enable us to overcome every
obstacle in the way of our salvation Let us sup
plicate Him for all those graces which can prepare
us to behold Hion face to face and rejoice with Him
and the Father and Son forever In the world to
come.

The preacher concluded by saying that to-day
the anniversary OF that day when the Church was
launched forth into the midst OF society," praise
and thanksgiving should be the watchwords. That
lttle glorious band OF disciples were gathered to-
gether that they and their influential teachings
might be scattered abroad Let all profit by the
opportunity by feeding the hungry, clothing the
naked and leading such virtuous and edifying
lives as will be examples to the unchristian people
OF the earth and serve to lead them, too, to the
Kingdom Of Heaven.

Action of the Conservative State Commit
tee. Organize for duty.

The resident and consulting members of the
Conservative State Committee met in the Office
of the clerk of the House of Delegates in Rich
mond on Wednesday last to determine the time
and place for holding the State Conservative
Convention. The Committee appointed Rich
mond as the place. and Wednesday, the 9th of
August, as the time. In the language of Rich
mcnd Wing, now that the day has been de-
signated for the assemblage of the Convention,
we would appeal to our Conservative friends
throughout the State to bestir themselves and
prepare for the onslaught of our enemies
Would that We could regard the hosts arrayed
against US as political opponents simply, who,
whilst differing from US upon great national is
sues, might yet be trusted with the administra-
ton of the State Government, should they attain
to power But this, unfortunately is not the case
far from it. Composed as is the Radical par
ty in the main of the late enfranchised slaves,
whose prejudices against their late masters and
the white people of the State generally have
been excited by their evil disposed white lead
ers, whose impecuniousness aud groveling am
bition have rendered them oblivious to every
sentiment that should actuate the patriotic citi-
zen, we find ourselves confronted by a party
formidable in numbers, whose success would be
| the death of every.hope that we may have fond
ly cherished of the future. Enemies We repeat
they are; deadly enemies, whose accession to
power would result in not only the white man
degradation, but 10 their own ultimate ruin
1t is essential then that we should grid up our
loins, and burnish our armor, that we may be
in readiness to resist this renewed effort to place
the white man beneath the feet and at the
mercy of the negro. To stand idly by, indiffer.
ent to such fate, is but to proclaim ourselves
worthy Of lift subjects to become the serfs o.
the meanest of our slaves. Again we say. Or
ganize Organize or else
Throw down your arms at the negroes feet in

And they'll forge the letters for your sons IN
