REV. FATHER MOTION.
A sermon In the Cathedral on the Crea-
ti0n of Man.

eVss W HHMHe
Yesterday at High Mass In the st. Louis
Cathedral, the Rev. Father Mothon, Domi-
nican, who breaches the sermons at the
Cathedral during the Lenton season, chose
for his subject the creation of man.
The eloquent preacher said: will speak
of mans material creation, that Is. his body.
Man is too prone TO ENJOY without thinking
the bouDties of God, and he ought from time
to time to think OF the One who has created
him.
considered In material point OF view. His
formation Ia divine, such as no architect can
rival. Man has his muscles, his flesh, his
bone, which assume all forms and act ac-
cording to his will. Mans body is not only y
miraculous structure, but 1t Is a formation
so extraordinary that mans genius, however
excellent cannot initiate 1t la the invention oi
the most complicated and perfect pieces Of
mechanism.
We must, when contemplating the organic
structure of man, recognize the stamp OF the
divine moulder, who has, as 1t were, impressed
his mark on his sublime work. The circula-
tion Of the blood, the mesh of arteries and
veins the sensitive muscles, are the master
pieces Of the One who has created, framed and
organized these parts.
And yet all this is nothing compared to the
expression of the face of man, for when his
brow lghtens with the glow OF intelligence,
when his eyes CLEAN in anger or become
dimmed with tears, when genius virtue and
love shine upon his brow and impress upon 1t
beauty that has no parallel In the wonders
Of creation, then we recognize and revere the
wonderful ways Of the Creator.
The face Of man Is the mirror OF his soul
and the soul is the mirror of God. Our body
is truly only q little mass OF clay, but 1t is
welded to our soul by an indssoluble band, a
piece OF clay upon which our soul imprints
all It's virtues and all its vices. Very often we
feel some kind OF irresistible attraction and
sympathy for avery ordinary looking person
Why2 Beca, Sc probably that person has q
face expressing ingenuity and innocence. And
very often we turn with disgust In seeing
certain faces which, as by Especial providence
of God, seem to hear the imprint of evil In
stincts and habits.
The Church always speaks OF the feeblenesa
OF our instincts, and when she points us the
right way not only does she save our souls, but
she tells us to take care OF our cOrporeal
structure Of our future, Of Cur honor and OF
our entire life.
II we wish our children to sustain our name
with honor not only before God but before
men, let us make them virtuous men. The
ancient sages used to say In speaking Of the
prosperity Of people that the commonwealth
needed "me7,s sa11d IN cOT,pOre sanO," or a
healthy soul Ia healthy body.
The Rev. Father Mathon is very popular In
New Orleans. This is not the first time that
he has preached here, and those who heard
him last year at the Cathedral did not fail to
greet him again this year.

trusted with the tesponsiblo position OF the
