The Xavier Alumni Sodality held Its regular
monthly meeting yesterday In the hall Of st.
Francis Xavier's College, Fifteenth street. between
Fifth and Sixth avenues There was very large
attendance Of members. The Rev. DR.. Brann.
pastor OF St Elzabeth's church. Fort Washington,
delivered an address to the association, In which
he impressed upon his hearers the duty they owe
to the Church as co-workers OF the clergy. He
said that the laity were part OF Gods royal
priesthood, and, although they were not in
vested with the authority OF the priest
IN all matters OF religion, yes they were author
leo 70 90 good in many ways as religious teachers

omces, In their counting rooms In their stores.
lie declared that there never was q time In the
history OF the Catholic Church when the priests
were 80 united all the world over as they were at
present. 1t was true that prosecutions were being
carried on against the Church in various tries
but this did not proceed from the clergy. The
hierarchy were never more devoted to the Pope
and the interests OF the Church generally than
they were In this, the nineteenth century. All
from the laity, who were lax In their duty a.

Young Catholics to join hands with tue priests and
help them to do the work that God had entrusted
to them to do.

countries to-day wreath the tombs OF departed
friends with flowers they but assert their immor-

living are alike in HIS sight. To partake properly
OF the emblems IN tie holy communion in the

SEVENTEENTH STREET Baptist CHURCH.

Miss Smiley ON the Atone ment OF Christ.
The congregation OF the Seventeenth street
Baptist church yesterday morning listened to q
sermon from the Rev. Miss Smiley. This lady took
for her text the words s:-"Behold the Lamb OF
Cod who taketh away the sin OF the world.n She
sketched out the circumstances under which these
words were uttered by John the Baptist He goes
on to tell US how ne had known Christ. 1t is
doubtful II John knew Christ's nature until the
day OF His baptism. This ceremony implied
more than q mere rite. 1t was an absolute
admission that Christ assumed mans nature and
identified himself with fallen humanity and took
upon himself their nfrmities and their weakness.
God took this moment to introduce His representa-
tive to the world. Christ had been called by His
disciples the Son OF Man but at that moment, as
He came up out OF the River Jordan, God took
occasion to proclaim :-"This is my beloved son, in
whom am well pleased" God on that day took
into His heart
GREAT, SINFUL WORLD.
Whether we are called upon to Introduce Christ to
confidence as the Lamb OF God Men when they
begin great careers in this world generally choose
the digni1ed and authoritative method: but Jesus
was not to save lost world in that way. He came
as q teacher OF almost abject humility. he came
to teach the world that the majesty OF conquest
was 10 come by patient, individual effort Gentle
ness is greatness, weakness Is might. A wonder
ful religion this which finds its chosen symbols in
lamb and dove 1t had been teaching OF the
there could be no remission or sins SO Christ came
TO offer himself as
THE AroNEMENT OF BLOOD.
Centuries before, we read that q father and son
started for Mount Moriah the father offer up the
son for q remission OF sin. History repeats Itself
In the case OF Christ, when God gives up His son.
Even the heathen insist upon human sacrifices in
atonement for sin. Jesus the Lamb OF God, has
taken the place OF this poor, wounded wretched
sneep. All redemption on the night when the de-
stroying angel went over Egypt was to be
secured by the blood OF the lamb. The
most wicked man could have been pro-
tected by that blood ON the door. There
was no investigation of the religious condition OF
the families; their sins were not remembered
against them. In our cases the blood mad been
she'd and 1t only remains for us to appropriate II
and show 1t In our lives to be saved.
THE FORGIVENESS HAS BEEN GIVEN.
You are saved, so far as Gods mercy goes. All
you have to do Is to claim your title to redemption
God SENDS this message to us BE ye reconciled to
Christ IL Is but step which brings you into the
household OF Christ. You all intend, sooner or
later. Let the step be taken at once.

Sermon on Purg atory by the Rev. Father
Lake.


Lake.
The festival which Is so honored by the Catholic
Church, and which is held annually in commemo-
ration OF the souls Of the faithful Departed under
the name OF All Souls Day, formed the subject OF
sermon at this church yesterday BY Rev. Father
Lake. He said that compassion for the anlicted iB
q natural feeling in the human heart. No earthly
suffering can be compared to the pains OF purga-
tory, which must be endured by the greater num-
ber OF those who die without having fully satisfied
the justice Of God Tor manifold transgressions
in life. He spoke eoquently on the duty
we owe the souls OF our departed friends to pray
for them, and by acts OF penance and modification
and by the holy sacrifice OF the mass to alleviate
and shorten their suferings. The "Kyrie" and
.Gloria" OF Durands mass, q thoroughly French
work, formed the first part OF the musical services
and the "Credo,n 'Sanctus" and "Agnus Del" OF
Dachauer's ''Messe Solennele, No. 2" the latter
The work OF Mr.. Dachauer occupies position OF
merit lully equal TO tnat which he composed many

voices, followed by strongly chorded passages

aDEe mere is apparent, however, In the choir an
absence OF vocal ambition, which doubtless is the
cause of the slipshod manner in which the music
OF the service is rendered. The congregational
singing OF the hymns Is likewise capable OF greas
Improvement under more judicious and dnigent
leadership.
Saturday being All Saints Day, and yesterday
the service OF the holy communion being per-
formed, the Rev. DR.. Dilar devoted the time i'm.
mediately after the morning prayer, gospel and
epistle to the delivery OF q running commentary
on and explanation OF, the meaning OF the festival
OF Al-Haloween, and OF the peculiar doctrines Of
the Church Of England respecting resurrecuon.
lie argued that the soul never eternsny
separated from the body but that tn6
parting is only for time and that at length on the
aay OF the great uprising they are again united ID
heaven. Human beings could never be angels
because angels were wholly and only spirits. <The
tendency OF his reasoning was that the Delights
ana blessings OF the flesh were revived in that
glorious afterfe when the trumpet should rouse
the dead from their long sleep. 1t was mistake,
ssnGagn snaS w6 % common alacy to suppose that the
goou VINO dled became angels. They only became
SAINTS SAINTS; Much OF this erroneous belief could be

children were taught to sing
want TO be an angel and with the angels stand

| Many mothers also said OF their little ones de-
parted that they had gone to heaven, and were
| now angels. Neither OF these statements was
true, as no one reached heaven until after the res
| direction. Jesus, we had 1t distinctly told to us

The popular but mistaken notion OF All Saints' Day
| arose from the above delusion 1t was not q day
for the commemoraron OF the lives and good deeds
OF the saints and martyrs who have been canonized
IN the Re Church nor IN a. honor Of ns angelic hosts
tion ofall good souls who had departed in the love
OF Christ. He wished the simile OF tho
soul parting from the body only for time to be
joined with it again, to impress itself the hearts
OF those who mourned dear ones lost for life was
but BRIEF like the period between death and resur-
recton. We should think OF them only gone
away for . little time and to return again. Tho
service Of the communion gave intercourse
with their love, as well as thax of God and the
angels. Therefore were to live so as to partake
| often OF that communion, and in the end to meet
God and our loved ones face to face In the grand
| reward OF eternity.

Dentistry in Japan.

The Japanese are very ignorant Of
medicine and surgery. Like other
people, they have many aches and
bad pains; and as everybody knows,
one of the most torturing pains is an
aching tooth. In Japan, like all the
rest of the world, there are persons who
now and then want tooth pulled out
and the only Japanese contrivances for
this are a wooden mallet and stick.
The professor of dentistry, instead OF
sitting in his office with stock OF
mysterious and frightful instruments,
goes travelling over the country, carry
ing box covered with brass ornaments,
and containing some little mallets and
wedges. When he meets with per-
son who wishes to part company with
an aching tooth the wedges are pressed
in between the tooth and the gum, and
then forced down with the mallet, until,
by hammering and prying, the tooth is
made SO loose that it can be pulled out
with the fingers. The poor patien
suffers very much. Sometimes piece
of the jaw are broken away with The
teeth, and it is said the patient die
from the wound

Draining Quicksands.

The subject of draining quicksands
has recently been discussed IN the col
umns of the New York Tribune. The
directions generally given by the cor
respondents of that paper have related
to the manner of making a sound arti-
fetal bottom on which to lay the drain
ing tiles. Our own experience in the
matter has been considerable, and we
have never found this necessary.
These sands are quick only because
they are net, and if the water can be
withdrawn from them they will form
the best floor that is posi-
BILE to secure in such land. For lay
ing tiles, the only thing necessary is to
deepen the drain very slowly AS soon
as the depth Of the water is reached,
let the drain be opened for that depth
it's whole length then, commencing at
the lower end, deepen by a single
scoopful at a time, IN this way drawing
off the water slowly, and without at
any point gong SO deep as to have a
pressure of water from the soil at the
side. Opened in this way, little by lit
tie, there will be no difficulty in secur-
ing good foundation, and in laying
drain in the most slippery quick
sands.
