The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1889-01-31

There was 1880 mass during which the
sacrament of the Holy Eucharist was ad
mnistered. At 1890 His Grace. Arch
bishop Ireland conducted the sO.emn and i'm
pressive ceremony Of the Sacrament of Con
tirmation He was assisted by Father NJ.
E. Murphy. Rector of St. Michaels and
Father P. j. McCarren. his assistant. A
commodious chancel had been erected and
the complete sacred paraphernalia OF the
church was in position. The many candles
shed soft radiance over all and brought
clearly into view the many holy elnblems
and symbols of the church. AS the Arch
bishop arose and slowly advanced the audi
ence observed deep and reverent silence.
One indeed felt that he was in the presence
of one of Gods most holy messengers.
There were twenty Of our number cOn-
tirmed. Before the ceremony, the Archbi-
shop gave clear, succint explanation of the
services. His sermon followed. which we
give below; and also the lecture which he
delivered in the afternoon. In condensing
the addresses to the limits of The MIRROR
we have endeavored to adhere both to his
argument and language. We cannot but
feel, however, that the spirit and elOQuence
suffered in the transcription.
THE SERMON.
We live in God; we move in Him; in
Hin we have our being. And yet. alas. as
we move through the world, our thoughts
are often far from Him. God is everything.
Without Him there is nothing in this world,
and no hope for future one. All our
thoughts should bring home this great truth
to us: that there is God on whom we can
depend for all things. 1t is our thoughts
that show us how near God is. There is
no effect without a cause. The cause is
equally as important as the effect. and if i'm
our thoughts We think of God, we must
study the cause. or origin OF the thought.
Every intelligent being is all arrangement
of means, to an end. Wherever we observe
order and harmony. we recognize power.
In building house all the small parts go to
make up the unity OF the whole. He who
designs work. cOntemplates it's compile
ton. And the builder when the walls are
being laid, has the end in view. He who
produces order must be an intelligent being.
This is just as true in nature as in art. If
you were travelling through a desert and
should find watch, would you believe that
it was mere matter of chance. a prOduc
ton of nature? No. you would say at once
as you examined the intricacies of the
movement and saw the perfect adjustment,
that it was the work of an intelligent being
Under the surface of the earth and at the
bottom of the sea there have been found
ruined cities. with temples and buildings of
different kinds. streets laid out in perfect
order. Upon discovering these evidences of
a former civilization would you say that
these were the production of mere chance?
No, you would say at once that these struc-
lures were reared by well-trained artisans.
If you were riding along far western
plain and should see for the first time a

ROASTED HIM,

Salina Daily Gazette:-The woman suf-
frage convention at Salina didn't have
much to say about cooking, but it roasted
Marsh Murdoch just as brown.-K. c.
Star. Yes, but they got into a stew and
made mess of it, as usual. However,
they're done now.
As the centuries roll on and man be-
comes more fully rounded out in char
acter, less selfish and purer in his con-
ceptions. the divinity of womanhood is
realized more and more, her love appre-
ciated more and more, and the fact that
in her centers all the harmonies of our
earthly existence, understood more fully
and better. With the knowledge, there
fore, that eight out Of ten of all the wo-
manly women of his state is with him
in his antagonism to woman in public
life, with all the bad women Oh the side
Of those who denounce him, Murdoch is
content that the Salina crowd should
proceed with their roasting, convinced
that at the end of the conflict will find
him on top.

CIRCUMSTANCES THE TEST OF
MEN.

From the June Scribner.
The nature of every imam is SO mystic
rious, so Unreasonable and unfathom-
able, that what seems to others the mar
rowest mental organization may contain
within itself unexpected resources. This
is the hidden cause of the invarible ap-
pearance of great men in times of ma
tional trial and disturbance. AT such
times, quiet unpretending Individuals
come to the front by the forces of nature
that formerly lay concealed wltiln
them, and they win fame, perhaps inl-
mortal fame, like Cromwell, Grant. Lin
coin, for qualities that would scarcely
have attracted notice in common life
and in ordinary times. The fact OF
such appearances of great men
ought to warn us all against
the presumption of setting bonds to the
future of any one, except in matters
where technical excellence is necessity.
If man can not play the fiddle at thlr-
ty years of age we may safely predlct
that he will never become an accom-
plished violinist, but when there is no
technical obstacle the limits cannot be
fixed. Scott fell into novel writing &C
cidentally, and a very trivial clrcum-
stance Ia search for fishing tackle that
made him stumble upon the unfinished
manuscript of "Waverly') caused him
to resume it after a first abandonment.
George Eliot spent her time in translat-
ing German philosophical books, not at
all suspecting the existence of her own
gifts as novilist, unit! Lewes urged her
to make experiments. 4 posi-
BILE external cause i'll either
of these cases would have jeff
the gift dormans forever. If Byron had
not appeared Scott would have remained
the first poet, SO that he would not have
turned to prose: for Shelley and Keats
counted for hardly anything In those
days, and Wordsworth was unpopular.
If Miss Evans had married a rich Ordin-'
airy man the intellectual side of her ma
ture would have overshadowed the ar
tistic, and she would never have been
more than a student and eA-
FOUNDER of philosophy.
Unthinking people express an aston
at examples of this kind which
is in itself unreasonable. They think 1t
very surprising that anyone should sue
coed In pursuit for which he has not
been trained, but that never happens.

THE EDITOR OF THE EAGLE SCORED
BYA WOMAN.

To the Editor of the salina Gazette.
Marsh Murdoch talks about chen con-
ventions" yet. He characterized the
meetings of the Wichita ladies before
election as chen conventions" Marsh
sets up to be oIiginal--he would have
been had he published the American
emblem of freedom a hundred years ago.
The trouble with Murdoch is that hes
too late with his originality. There is
something alluring i'll Mr.. Murdock's
classic elegance and diction, but when
Kansas women are in possession of full
suffrage-and it's coming-and Mr.. Muir
dock wants something that comes by
votes-a governors chair or some such
tritie-he will refer to meetings held by
women in terms that will be meant to
allure, but probably will not allure many
votes, on account of the fact that women
have memories as long as their tongues
Mr.. Murdoch squeaked SO when the f.
S. a. dished him up in little jokes and
poems, that we felt sorry for him-poor
fellow! but really he could not help it;
sauce to be palatable. He complained
that we ''obncxiously personalized" him.
Queer he does not like little of what he
~ otilbHto " give. hitCi ictiuiuR his
pitiful wall we thought to leave him to
his own sad reflections; but when he
poses before the public with that ante
deluvian epithet ''hen convention" even
wholesouled- E. S. a. cannot keep
silent.
We come, Mr.. Murdoch, dear Mr.. Muir
dock, not to intimidate, but rather we
would beseech you on our Bonded knees,
if you have no love or respect for the E.
S. A., heve mercy on the reading public
and rack your poor brain for an appella-
ton for US not so Rip Van Wrinkle as
''hen convention"
We do not wonder that Marsh Muir
dock imagines our reporter went through
mental a physical tortures' keeping a
correct report, etc.-'righteous judg-
ment," you know-but our reporters are
men of brains and understand parlia-
mentary usages. Should the Wichita
ladies conclude to follow our example
and hold convention they would not
be so favored
Mr.. Murdoch, let US have peace, or
give US something new. Au revoir,
SALIVA E. S. A.

DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE
TALKING ABOUT,

The Topeka Capital, Emporia Republi-
can and other papers are doing a very
foolish thing by their narrow expression
touching the Wichita rates; expressions
which only tend to embarrass the board
and encourage the traffic managers in
their fight in the interest of Kansas City.
We are utterly surprised at the position
of the two papers named. The Wichita
rates embrace classes, and were based
on diversity and tonnage. With a like
showing nobody would pretend to deny
Topeka and Emporia exactly the same
ruling. But their dog in the manager
policy would embarrass the only city
in the state powerful enough and
with pluck enough to make the neces-
sary move to open the way for their
future or anybody eIse's future. These
papers would do well to read Wichita's
Board of Trade memorial and then the
decision Of the commissioners before Of
fering further opinions, which opinions
are narrow at the best. We commend
