ders under a heavy load when he undertook the
erection OF this noble structure, yet he has carried
an tho good work in the teeth OF all difficulties,
Tho solemn mass at half-past ten O'Clock,
waa celebrated by the Rev. Father McSwi-
nev. The sermon was preached by tne
very Rev. Dean Byrne, OF Trenton, who took his
text RON the parable OF the mustard seed. He
congratulated the, pastor and the congregation on
the great work they had accomplished, In rearing
so noble q temple TO the honor OF the living God
After vespers in the afternoon, the Dean preached
a sermon on the Importance Of religious cduca-
tion for the Catholic youth OF the country. He

Church on the question OF education. without reli-
gon, education instead OF being blessing, De-
comes curse. He exhortcd the congregation 70

Gospel that when some one tried to lift up his el-

NEARER TO GoD AND TO HEAVEN.
III they could give nothing else they could give a
smile, and that might cheer some one; II ihey
could give nothing else they could give kind
word and that might console some one; II they
could give nothing else they could give little OF
their personal labor, and that might help some
one. Children frequently asked why the Lord did
not supersede all the weary missionary EFFORTS by
giving the Bible at once TO heathen lands but
their very efforts were meant to cultivate IN them
Christian spirit aud kindly, benevolent nature.
Might the sweet little children who were present

A Mission by the Jesuit Fathers
Startling Words 10 the Rich-sermon
by the Rev. DR.. McGIynn.
The high mass at this church yesterday was
celebrated BY the Rev. Father McQurk and the
music sung Dy the choir was Meiner's Mass No. 2,
in minor. This was the first time Ia this church
that this mass attempted, it being difficult to
master the IDEAS OF the composer and TO get
choir willing 10 undergo the preparation neces-
Bary for even q fair rendering OF the many intri-
cate parts After nine previous rehearsals it was
presented yesterday, ana was brought to a close
without single jar having occurred. The mass
abounds In opportunities for the singers-solos
duets and trios beng plentiful. For the labor ex-
pended in the production OF this novelty the
Drganist OF the church, Mr.. Danforth, deserves
appreciation.

pied the pulpit and after making the usual an
nouncements said that on sunday next mission
by the Fordham jesuit Fathers would be opened in

the "Forty Hours Adoraton," which would con.
tinue until Tuesday morning, when this devotion
would be brought to a close. The Jesuits' mission
would last for a month, the first two weeks being
especially intended for women and the remaining
two weeks Tor men. Masses were to be said
daily at hve,. six, seven, eight and half-past
nine O'Clock, a sermon TO be preached after
