The mass was said by Father Lynn and
the sermon was preached by Father
Dockery from the gospel OF st. John =
Prepare We the way and make his
paths straight before him." Father
Dockery, like the seneible gentleman
that he ia, never trespasses upon the
indulgence OF his auditors with long SER
mons, and in this case he outlined the
advent of tie Savior in his, usual terse
and epigrammatic style. He dwelt
chiefly upon the humanity OF Christ,
showing it co be the divine intention
that. for the redemption of the sins OF
the world, he must be made man and
suffer as men suffered on earth.
