Pointed and Practical Sermon at st.
Marks by Rev. ID. G. Garrett.

Pointed and Practical Sermon at St.
Marks by Rev. ID. c. Garrett.
At st. Marks church yesterday morning
there was very large attendance, every
seat being taken. The singing by the boy
choir was unusually excellent. Deep at
tention was given to the sermon by the
rector, Rev. David Claiborne Garrett, who
took as his text Luke xviii 10: Two
men went up into the temple to pray, the
one Pharisee and the other publican. I"
Mr. Garrett drew several very practical
lessons from the story of the prayers of
the Pharisee and the publican. The
former thanked God that he was not as
other men were, while the publican said,
"God be merciful to me sinner"
One lesson was that of tolerance. The
Pharisee belonged to that wing of the Jew
ish church that laid great stress upon the
observance of outward forms. He thought
that unless a man thought as he did and
came TO God in his way, that man was be-
yond the pale of religion. And yet, after
all. Christ in the parable had said that the
publicanss prayer was the one accepted.
The speaker then reminded his hearers
that though they had joined in the service
of the church and had taken part in an
historical ritual. nevertheless. their prayer
might not have been so true one as that
of some wretched outcast, who, in mis-
cradle hovel, might have prayed, God be
merciful to me sinner" The true Christ
ian must have tolerance for those who do
not pray in his church nor in his manner.
Another point made by the preacher was
that the Pharisees of modern times are
disposed to regard other men as sinners,
but themselves as righteous. The true
spirit to have is the spirit of love, such as
the publican possessed, for he forgot that
other men were sinners, remembering
only his own faults. Men should be
binder to the failings of others, reader to
forgive them, but at the same time keener
TO their own shortcomings, less prone to
find excuse for them.
On Tuesday evening the Kings Daugh-
tiers give social at the rectory.

Rev. Father +. X. Prefontajne, pastor Of
the Catholic church Of Our Lady of Good
Help, South Fourth and Washington
streets, addressed large congregation at
morning mass. He preached upon the
text: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as
myself" He showed, first, the obliga-
tons of one to another, and gave the rea-
sons for the admonition in the text. 1t
was the voice of nature that everyone
should love his neighbor; it was the voice
of grace, and, best of all, it was the pre-
cept of the Almighty God. Father Pre-
fontaine then showed the manner in
which this love should be manifested.
We should love our neighbors as ourselves.
But as our love for ourselves was some
times Initiated, our Savior tells US we must
love ourselves as He loves us. His love
was supernatural, universal, constant,
sincere and afiectionate.

Central Labor Union Library.

The library committee of the Western
Central Labor Union deserves much credit
for the manner in which it fitted up the
free reading room in one of the unions
halls 1t is kept in excellent shape and
affords workingmen who desire to do so 8
quiet, nice place to spend an occasional
day reading, when idle. The stock Of
books is constantly increasing and on the
tables may be found nearly all the leading
trade and labor journals in the country
and the principal daily and weekly news
papers as well. In addition there are q
large number of magazines and scientific
journals and a few economic works. There
is but one thing especially wanting in the
room and that is larger number of work
ingmen to take advantage of the oppor-
tunities it affords for self-improvement.
