Annexed we give full report, taken
from the New York Irish Am<risan, OF the
eloouent discourse delivered by the Most
Rev. Bernard J. McQ aaid, Bishop of Koch
ester, at the festival Mass Of the "Cathoiic

on the I'D of February. The Bishop spoke

Epistle OF St. Paul to the Galatians: For,
what things a man shall SOW, the same also
shall he reap. For, he that sowetn IN his
flesh, Of the flesh also shall reap corruption.
| Bot he that soweth in the spirit, OF the
spirit shall reap life everlasting. And, in
doing good let ne not fail for in due time
we shall reap, not failing. Therefore,
whilst we have time, let Us work good 10
all men, but especially those who are of
the household Of the faith
These words Of st. Paul, my brethren,
were addressed to the people-to the first

with power, aIi with meaning - AS you
cow, so shall you reap, says ST. Pau. AS
you COW. in doing good TO Others. as you
SOW, in doing good to all men bat . espe.
