We are in love with the dear ones there

man is chapel church, and cathedral who
worships within himself, who praises God
when, where, and how ho pleases. Christ
was intensely human because He was divine.
For more than one thousand years the sew
eral places where Christ suffered and per-
formed His wonderful deeds have been cult

we are not able to say truthfully and posi-

THE CURE OF THE LEPERs.
SERMON OF FATHER O'sULLIvAN AT S
PETERS CHURCH.

SERMON OF FATHER o'sULLIvAN AT ST.
PETERS CHURCH.
st. Peters church, on Capitol hill, is the
Oldest existing Catholic church in the city of
Washington. The building was erected in
1921, since which time several prominent
dvines have oficiated as its pastor, among
them Fathers Van Horsigh, Knight and
Boyle. The congregation of old 81. Peters is
the largest of any denomination in the city,
numbering 5000 white and 1000 colored
Catholics from all parts of East Washington,
Three priests are constantly stationed at the
church to attend to tho spiritual wants of the
above large congregation, with Father O'Sul.
livan in charge, who is n talented and
strongly logical speaker, The members of
st. Peters church have made efforts recently
to wipe out an old indebtedness, and last week
$4,000 were subscribed to pay a sum upon
which heavy interest has been paid. There
yet remains an indebtedness of nearly Sl5,-
900, upon which no interest is demanded.
During the past five years the debt of the
church has been lessened $4,000, which is an
excellent showing. Father O'Sullivan spoke
the following brief but eloquent words to a
large congregation yesterday from the cure
of the ten lepers, as narrated in the gospel OF
st. Luke, chapter xvii, verse2
The gospel accounts of our Lords miracles
always suggest some great spiritual, practi-
cal lessons.
The tender mercy Of our divine Lord opens
His ears to the prayer of the ten lepers
Jesus, master, have mercy on me, and His
divine power, called into exercise by their
fervcnt petition, works their cure.
The Saviour is as merciful and as powerful
to-day as when He healed the lepers He has
not forgotten His ancient mercies and the
might of His right hand has not been short
ened
In all afiictions OF soul and body we can
approach Him with faith and confidence, and
If we cry to Him with the faith and fervor OF
the lepers-"Jesus, master, have mercy on
us His ears will be open to our prayer and
His right hand will be extended to grant our
petition.
In the case of the Samaritan, his cure is
Ascribed by our Lord TO his faith-"Arise, 20
thy way, for thy faith hath made thee
whole "-though evidently the cure was
wrought by the almighty power of Christ
Were our Lord seeker for the esteem OF

we speak when we do favor to our fellow
mon: II is "Idid this" ~ gave this" &c. 1t
is better my brethren, 20 follow the example
of our Divine Master, and glory not in what
we do.
Of the ten lepersiwhom Christ healed only
one came TO return thanks, aud that the
failure of the nine to return and give eN-
preston to their gratitude, was painful to
their boneiactor is evident from His asking
the Samaritan, "Were not the ten made
clean; and where are the niue?" Here was
an opportunity for the stranger" who bad
returned to givel thanks TO launch out into
discourse in praise of his own fidelity and
gratitude and in bitter censuro of the nine
who went their way, unmindlul Of their ben
efactOr; but he is silent. He speaks not in
praise of himself nor IN ccnsure Of them. How
many Christians, my brethren. would let pass
such an opportunity of saving something in
praise OF self and in ccnsurr oi Others?
Nor should We ne severe IN our GnusurcS of
the nine who did not return ~ give glOry to
God. We often limits them in their in
gratitude. All material things arc intended
for our use and benyf. all spiritual
things. even the angels, are intended to min
lister unto those vino shall receive the in
hertanoe Of salvation. Times without num-
ber our sins have been blotted out in the blood
of the Redermer. How grateful should we
not he to God for all these iavOs2 His praise
should be ever in our mouths, and our lips
should declare His infinite goodness. Blessed
be the name of the Lord, bcnediction and
glory and Thanksgiving and strength to. our
God for ever and over. Amen.

"AND THE IRON DID SWIM"

REV. JOHN A. MULLIGANs EXPOSITION OF
THE ABOVE TENT YESTERDAY MORNING.
Ga ibraith chapel "A. NJ. Z. Zion church)
was crowd ed yesterday morning TO listen to
n sermon preached by Rev John A. Mulligan.
He took his text from Second Kings, vi, g.,
"And tho iron did SWIM" lie said true ro-
ligiou tourished in the days of old as well as
now. This great event, this wonderful mira
Gle occurred in The neighborhood of Jericho.
This casting Of the AK and helve into the
stream and the fact of the iron floating was
used by the prophet as miracle, typefying
that the great antitypo should como into
that same river TO condemn sin.
1t is useless TO ask how did the
iron swim. You may AS we'll ask how or
why did Christ rise from the dead. 1t is
sufficient for you to know and believe that
the iron did swim. But if you do ask tho
question, it can be answered-flith in God.
The prophet had faith in God. The iron
represents sin. 1t was given back to its
rightful owners. Men are the owners and
possessors of sin. God can take sin away
from man just rs easily as the profit took back
the iron from out the water and restored it
to its proper place The way to rid ourselves
from sin is to pray and have faith in God.
The speaker related several anecdotes
illustrative of the point he wished to make
and then the coming of Christ, His work,
sacrifices, troubles, temptations, death, burial,
resurrection, and ascension were portrayed in
very graphic and forcible manner. Con-
tinuing. he said Christ is now sitting at the
right hand of the Father interceding for u.s.
Sinner be warned in time. Wait not until
you are cast into the river, there may not be
helping hand present to save you. Seek
Christ, find Him. after which fear naught, for
those who are protected aud guarded by Him
no danger can intimidate and no harm can
come to.
At the night service tho reverend gentle
man preached highly interesting and instruc-
tive sermon from Judges xiv, 1I-"Out of
the eater came forth meat, and out of the
strong came forth sweetness"

A Mysterious Shooting.

Between and 2 o'clock yesterday morning
two pistol shots were heard in the vicinity
of Pennsylvania avenue in front of the
Presidents house. Going in that direction

running across the street, while another man
was leaning against the fence, the blood
flowing Copiously from a wound in the face
There were two other men supporting the
wounded man. passing carriage was
hailed and the party driven in the direction
of Georgetown. The men referred to would
not give any information as to the shooting
but it was learned that the wounded man was
named Wheeler, while the man who did the
shooting was said to be Sam Ward. A re-
porter reconnotered the battle field yester-
day, and found one Of the balls in large tree
near by.
