The architect is Thomas Harding. The
work which God hath begun in us, may he
finish and perfect. Amen.
This ceremony being conclueed, the vast
throng of people commenced to move to

the large and shady trees, platform or
speakers stand had been erected, and where
seats for ladies had been provided. The
audience having assembled and the Bishop
and priests having ascended the platform,
the Rev. Mr.. Caliaghan, of Cincinnati, pro

At the conclusion of the sermon the
choir, assisted by a chorus of members of

THE SISTER OF MERCY.
BY REV. DIR. PATRICK MURRAY.

We live in our lonely cells,
We live in our cloisters gray,
And the warning chime OF the convent bell
Tolls our silent life away.
1hs loud worlds busy hum,
Murmuring evermore,
Breaks on our dim old walls
As waves break on the shore.
Like the voices we used to hear
Long ago in childhood's prime,
Are the ties of long dead world,
The thoughts of q long past time.
2hey tell of fife's sparkling sea.
pf it's dancing billows, where
pe voyagsrs laugh rings merriiy
From heart as light "a air.
INT they tell not OF the storms
THAT swell it's angry wavos,
%he sunken rocks, the hidsous forms
THAT lie in the ocean caves;
The wrecks that toss In the gale,
The lost that are buried beneath,
The struggle, the gasp. the drowning wall,
That follow so oft the sunbright sail
Oar the pitilees realms Of deathI
They number US with the dead,
With our hearts 70 cold and dryi ~
sfnog US the sky ia q roof Of Lead, -.
Ind earth slike the sky ~. Z. -. go.
Bpt tho sinlsss soul hath wfnga to soar
Above these prison bars
To glorious home of its own.
Beyond the golden stars.
The light of this seeming, dyirg life,
Faded cut from the eye of clay,
CLOVIS in the frsnchised spirit.
Never TO feel or fear decay.
They speak of o mothers delight,
They tell of welded bliss,
They paint . world 80 warm and bright,
And say that W orld is this.
But the true world We sometimes see
Life in itS house OF withering bones.
Life on iis couch of agony,
Asst hsAves and weeps and Groans;
The fathers broken heart,
The mothers about to break,
Tie crushing blow. the stinging smart,
owedded love, we've seen what thou art,
And not what dresmers IN Ike
We live in our lonely cells,
We live in our oloisters gray,
And sweet as the chime of the convent bells
Glides or life with God away.
In the roar OF q maddene1 world,
In battling passions thrill,

Our endless portion still.
Could you bat q moment share
OF q bliss, like that above,
OF q life of silent prayer
A life Of working love-
Tie glory of earth would seem
Black rs the tIodden leaf.
False aS the dream Of dream,
As the fash of the lightning brief.
All must pass away,
And wither and die and rot;
But the love of God abides and burns
In the heart that deserts him not.

Then leave US hero to love,
