THE COMMUNION OF sAINTS-SERMON BY BISHOP
LYNCH, OF CHARLESTON.
Bishop Lynch. of Charleston. occupied the pulpit
in st. Patrick's Cathedral. In the sanctuary were
Vicar General QUINN Father Farley and Father Kear-
ney. The solemn mass celebrated by Father
Demiseux. of Montreal. After the first gospel Bishop
Lynch addressed the congregation the dogma of the
Communion of Saints in connection with the HUasts
of All Saints and All Souls. celebrated on Friday
and Saturday respectively The doctrine of the Cath
olic Church inculcaed he said that shall be tried
by fire. and one Of its most cherished dogmas is that
it is holy and wholesome thought to pray for the
this doctrine of the communion of saints we have
incentive to persevere in good works and to be faith
full to- the end. We shall certainly have to
suffer, not here in this world, though
brethren have suffered much here in many
ways. There is suffering in running counter
fractions. There be exchange for mans saliva
ton, for the Scripture asks "What doth it profit
man il he gain the whole world and lose his
soul p 1t is only he that to the end that
shall be saved. We should so strive that lives
may be full of faith OF piety and OF charity that
after death may not be severed from communion
with the saints. We should engage ourselves in the
practice Of every virtue and initiate the example of
the saints If expect to be admitted into commu-
Mon with them. Our lives must be continual war
fare, for beset every side by enemies.
The communion Of saints means companionship
with the blessed, reward for good deeds, share in
the prayers Of the faithful not only in this world but
only practise good work. but give good example to
neghbor, that may be found worthy in the sight
of Heaven to be admitted into the companonship of
the elect when our career in this world has ended.
