In the death of DIR. Joshua Riley, this Society

whose fifty one years Of uninterrupted labors have
adorned the profession and brought continued

by the profession of the District Of Columbia and

St. AloysIus-Father Jameson.

Yesterday morning a very large congregation
was assembled at st. Aloysius. Very many men,
hers of Congress were present; and for the first
time since their marriage in this church, Lieuten-
ant and Mrs Fitch were there. The gospel of the
day was read from Matthew, 4th chapter, from the
first to the eleventh verse inclusive and presenting
the termination of Christ. The sermon Of Father
Jameson was an able, eloquent and exhaustive
treatise OF the whole subject and the following is
its mere outline.
humiliation. 1t was greater than his incarnation,
which St. Paul calls his humiliation. He then
referred to the blessed Virgin, to her supreme ex
cellence and to the graces that God conferred
unop her in PREPARATION for her dignity for mater
nity: but for ali this st. Ambrose and st. Angus
tine have confessed themselves astounded that
Christ should have become man and taken on
the flesh, to lie exposed to the humiliation OF his
life and death at the hands Of men, and for whom
he pleaded with the Father for forgiveness. In
this Gospel Christ is presented as approached
by the evil spirit, the enemy Of God, the leader
the rebellious hosts. one who had said he would
place his throne above the North Star. Some
have supposed that the incarnation Of the second
person. the Trinity, had been revealed to the evil
spirit, and that Lucifer refused TO DO homage to
the incarnate God, and that he abused. the graces
he had received from the Holy Ghost who had
adorned him with singular gifts. Father Jane
sen drew a beautiful picture Of the department OF
Christ in the exercise OF all ms divine virtues,
especially that of humility, and Of how, when ap-
preached by the enemy Of God and mankind, he
refused all temptation, and then made the appli-
cation that in Christ's example we md the true
rule Of life. Mans life is warfare and he must
expect temptation. The enemy is ever seeking to
bring ruin upon u.s. Our Lord told us TO watch
| and pray. We cannot trust to ourselves. We
have need Of the grace Of God, and to obtain it We
must make use OF the means He has given US.
This season OF Lent is designed to prepare US to
resist temptation and to secure for ourselves the
graces to make US strong in the path Of duty.

THE GREAT JUBILEE.
Pastoral Letter of Archbishop Bay,

Pastoral Letter of Archbishop Bayley.
Archbishop Bayley has issued q pastoral letter
to the clergy, secular and regular, Of his diocese,
based upon the plenary indulgence Of Pope Plus
TX of the great jubilee for 1875. The jubilee is
church solemnity celebrated at Rome by the Pope
at specified Intervals formerly of one hundred
years and Iatterly Of twenty-five years, at which
plenary and extraordinary indulgences are
granted by the Holy Father to the universal
church, and especially to those good Catholics
who during the year visit the churches Of ST. Paul
ard st. Peter at Rome, The pastoral letter,
based on the encyclical letter Of the Pope, sets
forth that the plenary indulgence of the jubilee
may be sought only by those Of the diocese in
Baltimore who visit and comply with the pre-
scrlbed requirements once day for hfteen days
the Cathedral and the churches OF st. 1gnatius,
ST. Alphonsus and ST. Vincent de Paul, those Of
the diocese who live in Washington the churches
Of st. Patrick, st. Matthew, st. Peter and st.
Aloysius; those living in other parts Of the do
cese to make fifteen visits to their parish
churches, and these visits may be made consecu-
lively or at intervals. Cloistered nuns and indi-
viduals with corporal infrmities, or prevented by
other causes are dispensed from this obligation,
prayer prescribed by their father confessor. The
pastoral letter Of Archbishop Bayley refers to
the incompatibilIty of "mixed marriages, q" to the
virtual apostacy from the faith in sending chill
dren to schools where "the al-important teach
ings of religion are shut out, and the violation
ofparental restraint and duty IN allowing young
people license sin the matter Of keeping company,
OF the books and newspapers they read, and the
places OF amusement they frequent"
