Professor Felix Adler yesterday explained the aim

TO him by many persons as 10 what all this peculiar
education would lead TO. Combating In advance the
theory that depended for its sustenance upon
any creed whatever. and setting in tho foreground

THE HUMILITY WE OUGHT TO HAvE-sERMoN
BY REV. FATHER BYRON.
Al st. Stephens Church, East Twenty eighth street,
the sermon At high mass was preached by the Rev.
Father Byron, who made the virtue OF humility the
subject Of his discourse. In the gospel OF the Sun
day. he said, we road how the Pharsees went to
St John, asking MIN questions about himself and his
mission, and how they were repulsed by the humble
answers the evangelist who told them that he was
worthy OF loosns the latchcs OF the shoe Of Him
who had been In their midst The answers Of st.
John astonishcd the Pharsecs, who were unaccus-
toned TO hear among themselves such an expression
OF sclf-abnegati In our own day wo see many
unlike to the Pharisees, Tor wo constantly witness
men striving to oxat themselves, 10 mako 1t appear
that they are superior IN every way TO .ner
neghbors, and seeking even ut The expense
oil others profit and aggrandizcment TO them
selves In tho thirst tor the gralincatlon
vantage OF illegtimate means 10 accomplish their
sensh purpose TO pander TO the pride That In their
winch would toll them what really was the object or
their life here below, and how they should act SO
that they would merit the appreciation Of the Divine
Master Humility is not In their hearts. nor Will they
suffer themselves TO be guided by the manifest ex-
hortations OF Christ Himself IN this regard.
The preacher sad that Christ told now necessary
humility when He pointed 10 the child and said
that should be like unto such little one IN order
enter the Kingdom OF His Father. From the vir
tue OF humility, the othcr hand, arose simple
beauty OF soul, most pleasing 10 God. The better
we owed to ourselves and how much to tho
goodness OF God, and how utterly helpless
We should be without His sustaining mercy,
the easier and would bo appreciation OF how
becoming in that humility which Christ incu
Gated. No method OF reasoning part could
force from minds the honest secret conviction that,
alter ALL merely poor, fccbc creatures In tho
hands OF tho Almighty, without o single attribute
that was not OF HIS bounty. How positively foolish
therefore, It was to see man setting themselves up as
to themselves asuficlent This foolishness ought
to be 10 US an example Of how the heart might be
pulled up with falsites. With humble and c0ntrite
hearts should pray that might be conscious

And cheerfully follow my labor.

| With happier hearts to morrow.
Oh, the debtor is but shame faced dog,
With the creditors name on his cola,
While am king and you are queen,
For We owe no man dollar.
Our neighbor you saw in his coach to-day,

While We sat down TO our coverless board

Though you tried your best to conceal it

Why, the man is the veriest slave alive,
For his dashing wife and daughter

So he goes like lamb to the slaughter;

Though he said he was not at leisure.

And, now you smile, for you feel the force

In that gentle heart was beating!
Tomorrow I'll rise with giants strength,
To follow my daily labor;
But e'er we sleep let us humbly pray

When the poorest shall lift up his voice
