Last night Rev. Father Wissel, @. 8. s
R., spoke on sin. He proved that some
sins are of greater malice than others and
hence there is distinction. Some sins do
not destroy the friendship of God. There
are called venisl Other sins are 80 mali
cions that there can no more, after the
commission of them, exist between God
and the criminal any friendship what
ever These latter are NOR
tai sins. because they kill the
soul by taking away the life oft, which is
the Grace of God. The Rev. Father show
ed what the malice Of sin is from the just
punishment the fallen angels received.
This was sin of thought. There was no
delay. Their punishment was swift in
execution and 10 eternsl in duration. be
showed how evil thing is venial sin.
There is no atoremeut, for even il, except
through the precious blood of Jeeus Christ
He stated that God required hearty BOZ
row for sin before it could be forgiven.
That man, father or mother, forgiyes not,
unless there is hearty sorrow for the Of
lenses committed.
This hearty sorrow necessarily includes
firm purpose of amendment and without
this there is no forgiveness for sin. He
pictured the awful state Of a soul dead TO
God by reason of sin. He showed by the
"Proiigal Son" how God desires the con-
version Of way~ard, siufnl child, and
calls for its return to Him, the Father,
who waits for it with outstretched arms
He described how our dear Lord hung
nailed to the cross praying for the CONVEX
sion OF man, and said, had / crucifix in
my hand, would say to you, my dear
friends, behold what sin has done. He
appealed to them TO think Of their life aud
Its shortcomings; to prepare to efface what
~ evil in the past By a reconciliation with
God, through the means instituted by
Christ for this pupose, viz: The sacred tri-
bunsl of penance. Again was the church
crowded with an attentive congregation.
In the morning after o'clock macs the
Rev. Father gave an instruction on con-
fession.
Yesterday morning, 4th September, the
reverend pastor, Father Mattingly, offered
up the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for the
repose of the soul of his brother, Rev. Q.
A. Mattingly, who died few years ago
He was pastor of st. Francis Church, Of
Nsnticoke, Pa.
ALMOST A FATALITY.
On Saturday last Mr.. Kenworthy
Hcgue, a well-known and highly respect |
ed Quaker gentleman from Mt. Pleasant,
had narrow escape from fatal accident |
at Wellsville, o. Mr.. Hogue, with q
number of other Quaker people, was re-
turning from Damascus, o., where the |
yearly meeting of the Wilburitss was held
last week. At Wellsville change of cars |
WAS made, and the train Mr.. Hogue |
wished to take was on track somewhat |
removed from the depot platform. He
started to walk to it, and by misstep |
caught the heel of his boot in switch |
frog, in such a way that he was held fast
A train was coming or the same track only |
a few yards away, and the engineer seeing |
Mr.. Hogue caught in the frog tried to stop
his train, but did not succeed. The pilot
struck Mr.. Hogue's leg, but fortunately
the blow knocked the boot heel loose, and
Mr.. Hogue with all his members fell off the
track. He was badly bruised and scratch
ed, bat is considered lucky to have
escaped alive.
STRANGE COINCIDENCE.
A strange coincidence occurred in the
little town of Smithfeld, Jefferson county,
on Friday. Mrs. VIM. Cole had Just re-
turned from Quaker yearly meeting on
Friday, and was to all appeara ices in as
good health as ever before in her life.
Shortly after arriving at home she sat
down in an armchair by window, and in
an instant gasped and fell dead.
The same day and at almost the same
hour, Mrs. Mary Ross fell dead, without
apparent cause, while standing at door
in her own home. Mrs. Ross had done
large washing the day before, and was en-
Toying excellent health. She was an un-
commonly hearty and strong woman. Both
funerals were arranged for two O'Clock
Sunday afternoon, neither the Ross family
nor the Cole family knowing of the other
death. When Sunday came, it was ar
ranged for one funeral to be postponed an
hour, so that friends of both families might
attend.
