preached by the Rev. Father Trainor. S. j. The
preacher took his text from Luke XIX, 4l-47 The
destruction the city Of Jerusalem was the tyne of
the greater destruction Of the which God wished
to cali attention to. God had placed His hopes and
expectations Jerusalem; nay He loved it with
love that only God have. He looked
around and many temples and shrines
in which His people had honored Him in spirit and
truth, what wonder that He should weep over the
doomed city. Tho old love was to pass away and
the new one to take it's place. We should remember
that the destruction Of this material city showed the

sin did for the soul. The enemy Of Jerusalem

stone would be left another. The enemy of man
would destroy the soul-that edifce which Christ
wished to be an honor to God. We should take
heed. ST. Paul tells us. that if any stand let
him beware lest he fall.' What were the conse-
quences OF sin? II God wept over Jerusalem. in
which He was honored how should we weep over
the souls destruction. Sin robbed the soul
Of its beauty. What that beauty

perfect purity that dehed all the opponents

Satan sought to have the mastery over Him, when

should have been washed by slave or some menial

He lett several things. He asked. Know ye what

desire that our service should be intelligent. In
different men pay attention to what Jesus has

what Jesus did His friends believe that He has done
all things right. yet what He did may not

lesson is just this that to be willing to do
