CLOSING OF THE MISSION IN SOUTH
BROOKLYN.

The mission which mas been in progress during
the past two weeks at st. Mary's star Of the Sea,
Court street, near Luqueer, closed yesterday.
High mass was celebrated by the Rev. Eugene
Cassidy, assisted by Rev. Fathers Callahan and
Sheehy as deacon and subdeacon respectively.
sermon was preached by the leader OF the mis-
sionaries, Rev. Father Garesche, S. j., upon the
doctrine OF Reconsideration, or the civine mys-
terry Of the holy eucharist in the sacrament on the
altar He depicted In his wonted fervent, iorciDle
logical style, the grandeur Of the gift OF God to
man, as realized in the eucharist. He
severely censured the SINFUL negligent people who,
usurping the name OF Catholics absented them
selves from mass on Sundays and days of oblRa-
ton. The neglect to hear mass was growing
sin, and many OF the evils that aflict tnose who
commit this mortal sin are sent as judgments by
God in punishment therefor There were those,
VINO, after remaining away from the tribunal Of
confession for five, ten, fifteen or twenty years,
became penitent; and when asked by the priest.
'Have you eaten meat on Friday 2n replied,
"Neverp' And yet Of the two sins not hearing
mass was the greater offence.
In the evening there was brief lecture and the
Papal benedlcti0n was given by Father Garesche.

The Evening Service.


After the opening services In the evening, MIR.
Beecher selected his text from Matthew x 30
'For my yoke is easy, and my burden Is light"
We are not to understand this as preliminary
figure that lifts men into undsturbed conditions
In life. 1t would certainly be great misnterpre-
tation OF our Masters life and language, which
was mentally, spiritually and ideally with
out literal sense. We are to understand
that the life He came to promote is full OF rest and
enjoyment; but l should not be understood If
should say that religion, in the highest sense OF
that term, was very easy to bear. There be many
who think religion is good for a medcine-better
than much that is worse-and they will take 1t
rather than be damned. Others think 1t Is like an
insurance policy. IL is a safe provision
AGAINST FIRE,
and that religion consists la getting the Juice out
OF this world and then get ready at last to carry
both of. Now, when speak OF q religious life as
being ull OF Joy and gladness, people think Of some
folks they have seen, and their practice contra
diets what | say. They look at persons
who are Christians, and it seems as II they were
all Of them tied up. They think OF what
they must do and what they must not do, and men
that are large in sense Of personal liberty don't
want to be tied up in that way. They are like
eagles, and want the whole air. ~ don't like to

cookery, IL no more. He was wont to say tn at
there wac no country in the world where mate
rial for food was so abundant as In America,
and no other county where SO much splendid
material Was utterly spoiled by being badly
cooked. He argued, and with reason, that the
preparation of food is vitality important as I'M
DERIVING health; and that to bsd cookery is at
tributsble half OF the diseases from which
Americans suffer. The Americans were in too
much of hurry, however, to heed his coun-
sis, and so the poor fellow died without having
accomplished the reformation he longed to
bring about.
