Few Changes HereabOuts.
Announcement was made from some OF
the Methodist pulpits yesterday concerning
the thirty-seventh session of the New York
East conference which will begin on Thurs
day, April 2nd, and continue one week. 1t
will be held in the Asylum street church in
Hartford. Bishop Stephen NJ. Merrill, of
Chicago, will preside. Arrangements for
the accommodation of about three hundred
clergymen have been made and families out
side of the Methodist churches have kindly
consented to assist in entertaining them.
Bishop Merrill will be a guest of Hon. John
R. Buck. At every session of the confer
ence about one-half of the ministers are sent
to new fields of labor, some having preached
the three years limit and some for other rea-
sons. The conference has met in Hartford
three times before, in 1862, 1864 and 1877.
This year several changes will take place.
Rev. R. H. Loomis, formerly of Fair Haven,
who preached in the North church, Hartford,
for three years, expects new appointment:
His place will probably be filed by the Rev.
David G. Downey, graduate OF Wesleyan.
Rev. R. S. Pardington, of the Asylum street
church, Hartford, has been invited by the
Fleet street church of Brooklyn. None of
the New Haven pastors have preached here
the three years limit. Rev. Drs. Peck and
Goodseil and Rev. Mr.. Wyatt and Rev. Mr..
Rogers of this city came to their respective
charges year ago Rev. Mr.. Ford has been
with the George street M. E. church two
years. Rev. Mr.. Rogers health is not very
good and his physicians have advised him to
take change back in the country and get away
from the seaboard. Rev. Mr.. Wyatt's health
on the contrary has improved since residing
near the salt water

AT ST. FRANCIS, CHURCH:
Father MuIholland breaches an Ele
quent Sermon ON SsThe Passion &


Father MuIhOlland breaches an El0-
quent Sermon on s'The Passion Sf
Christi,
Rev. Mr.. MulholIand preached at st.
Francis church, Fair Haven, yesterday
morning, upon "The passion of Christ as
perpetuated in the sacrifice of the Mass. ~
We see to-day the images covered with a
purple veil in commemoration of the passion
of our Saviour when he suffered for us in the
garden We owe gratitude to Christ for the
payment of debt contracted by our first
parents, and from which, without Christ,
we could never have been freed. Christ
prayed for sinners and washed away the
stain of sin with the necessary sacrifice,
which was not in the power of man, thereby
restoring the human race to the Inheritance
which had fallen from him.
Christ's sacrifice was offered for both the
living and the dead, and we have daily
perpetuatiou of it in the mass, which brings
us before the altar of God, where we seek
and find forgiveness of sin. God gave
instructions to his apostles to offer up
the same body and blood in the form of bread
and wine that was offered on Mount Calvary,
The ssBread of Life" received at Gods altar
saves men, no matter how great their sin. So
the priests of the Catholic church are COM
mandsd to offer up the sacrifice of the mass
where sinners can come and ask Gods for
giveness.
We are Gods creatures, our very existence
is his: therefore we must offer all we have
and all that we are to God Christians should
be in unison and forget all earthly wrongs
when they kneel before the altar, turning
their thoughts to Christ's suffering for them.
The sacrifice of the mass is the same that
offered on Mount Calvary and those that OBJ
serve that sacrifice and mediate on the pas
sion of Christ shall have the great consola-
ton of hearing our Lord speak to them the
words "Come ye blessed of my father and
possess the kingdom which have prepared
for YOU"
