commenced. Right Rev. Bishop Gibbons
delivered an excellent and entirely eompre-
hensiye discourse on the mystery of original
sin, its transmission to mankind, and the
consequent necessity and importance OF bap-
tism. His remarks on baptism consisted
mainly in an explanation and defence of the
practice of the Church in recurring the baD-
ti>m OF infants, giving authorities therefor,
and showing thatit was the nvarable teach
ing gand practice of the primitive Church. He
deprecated the reprehensible conduct Of Ca
thoIlc parents who, knowing the great ne
cessity for having their little ones purged Of
the sin OF our first parents by the waters Of
baptism, neglect to do so, and earnestly
appealed to non-Catholics who doubted this
necessity to give their children the benefit of
the doubt. The Bishop concluded with an
eloquent peroration, in which he referred in
POINTED terms to the glorious moral effect OF
baptism upon all maukind. ..-. ... ...
