THE PRICE OF HEAVES-A SOLID SERMON BY
THE REV. THOMAS p. DELANEY.
Yesterday forenoon there a large congregation
assembled the Church of ST Francis dc Sales Broad
way, East New York. The Sermon which was preached
by the Rev. Thomas F. Delaney, OF the Order of the
Fathers Of Mercya missionary order Of the Catholic
Church recently located in Brooklyn-was based upon
the text Convert thyself with thy whole heart 10 the
Lord and quit this world and thy soul shall end rest
He said:-During the passage through the
trials OF this life the heart will despite
all earthly distractions which surround it, look up
to that promised home OF eternal bliss which the
Saviour by the efuson of His sacred blood has opened
for mans reception if We will but repent and sin no
more. How often does the human heart filed with
Christian sentiment cry with the royal prophet -
"Oh when Will my exile be at end, when will | in
reality contemplate you, oh my God, in that eternal
delight of your homer" In our sorrowful moments
when feel these sentiments and dwell on the joys OF
heaven, have not questioned ourselves to find out

THE BROTHERHOOD OF MEN-sERMoN BY REV.

JOHN HALL.
Rev. John Hall preached yesterday morning to a
congregation much thnned by the rain from the text

souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto

not Of corrupble seed but Of incorruptble, by the
word Of God, which hveth and abideth forever" In
his Introductory remarks the reverend preacher dwet
strongly the brotherhood Of men. The brotherhood
of nations encouraged by the Bible; but it aims at
something higher than is usually involved in this idea
You know how in tie revolutions OF Europe nations
yearning after the blessings which they had not
and the cry raised "Liborty fraternity and equal

as we can procure them through no other means And
how can we enter into The brothership with God 2
Through the truth; and this word has as peculiar
meaning in the Bible as the word interest has
in the bank. 1t is not an equivalent for
good counsel given by the Koran, but
It is the divine truth revealed by God. Therefore
there is constant necessity Of preaching the truth.
