There is considerable dissension and dissatisfac
tion existing among the various Irish societies in
Brooklyn attendant upon the ways and means OF
making arrangements for the celebration of
ST. Patrick's Day. The Mutual Alliance and
the Father Mathew Total Abstinence societies OF
Kings county refrained last year from participating
in the parade because of their inability to agree with
the Ancient Order of Hibernians upon the all
potent question Of "Grand Marshal" and
which society was entitled to ''the right

ST. PATRICK'S CATHEDRAL.

PREPARING For LENT-sERMON BY THE REV.
FATHER KANE.
At the Cathedral the Rev. Father Mort celebrated
the high mass, and the sermon preached by the
Rev. Father Kane. In making the customary
nouncements before the sermon Father Kane read
circular from Vicar General and Chancellor Preston
announcing that by directions of His Emnence the
Cardinal the annual collection for the support Of the
Provincial Seminary Of st. Joseph would take place
in all the Catholic churches of the archdiocese
the first Sunday in Lent. The letter said NO work
can be more essential to the interests of religion
than the education Of students for the holy priest
hood. The wants Of our own archdiocese very
great and the largest share of the expenses Of the
seminary necessarily falls upon us. During the
past few years the collection has not been
sufficient for the proper support of our students
and the honor OF our religion, and the in
creasng needs of our missions demand from all
greater zeal and more liberal offerings 1t also
stated in the circular that during the past year the
expenses for seminarans S21 901 IA. while the
amount OF the collection in October 1877, was only
$l1,963 50. Father Kane urged upon the congrega-
ton. in neompliance with the Cardinals request that
the collection this year be an unusually liberal one
He then read the Regulations for Lent" pre-
scribing usual the obligations and the reasons
sufficient for excuse from the fast.
THE SERMON.
The preacher took his text from the gospel of the
day-Quinquagesima Sunday-and said that as Lent
would commence this week the Church appropriately
selected that portion of the Scriptures for the
which narrated how Jesus told the apostles of the
sufferings He to endure, and that on the third
day He would rise again. But the apostles did not
understand Him, for they could not comprehend
why one so gentle and amiable should suffer
nor why who by His acts showed Himself
to be so mighty should be so humilated
The Church put on to-day the veil of sadness to
memorate this sorrowful time in the Saviour's his
tory and invited all her children to with her
His suferings. This a time for repentance
At the beginning of Lent would be reminded that
this life was but eeting passage to the grave The
time was sure to come when we should have to
word and act. and this Of penitence was set
apart for the purpose OF special prayer and fasting
that We might gain the pardon OF sins. The
preacher then went to speak of the examples
given in the Scriptures OF the temporal punishment
which followed sin, and said that fasting was one
means which God pleased to accept full salts
