LAST NIGHTS SERMON.
Father Dunn, of Great Bend, Preached on
the Consequences of Sin.


the Consequences of Sin.
One of the largest cOngrega tons the
cathedral has held was present last
night to hear the sermon delivered by
Rev. NJ. II. Dunn, of Great Bend.
Father Dunn was formerly rector of the
cathedral and he had not been heard
here before in a number Of years. His
text was from the eighth chapter of
st. John, twenty-first verse, you shall
seek me and you shall not find me, and
you shall die in your sins" In part
Father Dun spoke as follows:
OF all the virtues shining forth in
the life of our Savior none Is more re-
markable than his admirable patience.
This he manifested toward the greatest
sinners whom He received with the
greatest benignity 1t was only after
Jerusalem, unmindful of her visitation
and rejecting alike His warnings and
His promises, that divine patience and
mercy would seem to have been eX-
hausted and no longer able to stay the
anger of God toward this stiffnecked
people. He employed all the attractions
of His love to soften their hearts and
induce them to believe in Him who
was to be their Redeemer
But this once chosen people rejected
all the efforts of His mercy and love,
Notwithstanding the predictions Of his
prophets which marked with clearness
the precise time of His coming; not
withstanding the numerous miracles
which attested His divine mission. He
came to his own and his own received
Him not So, too, with Christians of the
present day. Christ comes in person
as he did to the Jews, seeking to gain
admission to their hearts; but blinded
in their passions and sins they render
themselves liable to that divine oracle,
"you shall seek Me and you shall not
| find Me, and you shall die in your sins"
Father Dunn eXhorted his hearers not
| to copy the sad example of the once
| chosen people of God. but to return to
! Him by true penance and thus avert
| the awful fate of the unrepenting sim
ner. Delays are dangerous and there
| are some sinners for whom God does not
wait. His mercy Is infinite, no doubt,
but IL has its fixed time. There are
sinners whom, in His just just wrath,
He permits to die as an example and a
warning to others. For others time
is fixed and beyond that no mercy is
shown to them. "Oh, then" he said
permit 1t not to be said. that Christ
died for us In vain, that all the benefits
of redemption are null and void, but
return to Him by true and sincere re-
pentance You shall then seek Him and
shall find Him, but only when you are
converted TO Him with your whole
| hearts.

attractive appearance these days with
the fine array of instruments on eX-
hibiton, from which suitable holiday
presents for the musically inclined of
every class may be selected.
Among the leading styles in pianos
that may he seen are the Shaw, Emer-
son, Krakauer, New England and Erie.
In cabinet organs may be observed the
Clough & Warren, the Carpenter, the
Waterloo and the Crown. These instru-
ments are sold upon easy terms on the
installment plan, so that no family of
even moderate means need to be with
out an instrument in case any member
of the household has taste for music.
On both new and secondhand pianos
and cabinet organs prices have been
fixed that defy competition The fol-
owing reference to the Shaw pianos Is
one of the many testimonials that have
been received regarding the qualities
of this excellent instrument
after the severe and critical test
which | gave the Shaw upright | can
unhesitatngy say that for power and
beautiful singing, quality of tone, and
an action which responds to every de-
mand upon it, the Shaw piano stands

BIDS FOR THE BRIDGES.

Linden Street Bridge Can BE Built for
Less Than the Estimate. but Spruce
Street Bridge VIII Exceed IT,
The ordinance providing for the sale
of the bridge bonds provide that any
surplus remaining from the expense of
building either bridge shall be applied,
If necessary, to the cost Of the other
structure, and that the final surplus
shall be placed in the sinking fund to
be used for paying interest on the
bonds. An approximate made in the
office of the city engineer yesterday in
dicates that l9,664.39 will remain from
the building of the Linden street bridge,
while the Spruce street or South Side
structure shows a shortage of $1094,
The estimates are unofficial but are
based upon the supposition that coun-
ellis will decide upon an asphalt floor
ing and that contracts will be awarded
to the lowest bidder on each bridge ac-
cording to the proposals now in the city
clerks office. In detail the estimates
are interesting and show final surplus

be represented by four members equal

1t could not be determined at last
nights conference whether the chair
men Of councils shall appoint the COM
mission or whether councils shall elect
the necessary number of members.
The opinion prevailed that the COM
missioners should be appointed under
a procedure identical to the method of
appointing councilmanic committees,
but the point was not clearly estab-
lished and the city solicitor will be
asked for his opinion.
City Solicitor VIII Decide.
The creating of the commission will
be dealt with in the ordinance ac-
cording to the city solicitors opinion.
While in some minor details the or
dinance may be changed, the facts
given substantially cover the measure
as it will be finally presented.
1t is believed by the promoters Of the
paid service idea that the creative or
| dinance will fully satisfy few coun-
cilmen who might have opposed it on
the question of expense.
1t is known that many of the city's
most prominent business men will urge
that the measure be supported.
They contend that the cost of insur-
ance will be reduced, that better fire
protection will be offered, and that the
! saving in fire losses will counter-bal-
ance the increased cost of maintain
| ance.

Hints to Young Authors.

The first thing you need is to have
something to say. If you have nothing
that you are burning to tell, keep silent.
Next, you must remember that the way
OF saying thing is very important, and
SO you must cultivate style. To gain a
good style you must read the best au-
thorS. You will learn how to write only
by reading, and not by writing out your
own thoughts while you are young, but
by taking III great thoughts, the thoughts
and words OF the great of all ages.
Read Dante, Milton, Shakespeare:
have always on hand task, in the " y
OF a history or an essay, or some other
volume which you cannot read hastily.
Gradually, by reading the best literature
you VIII gain good vocabulary, and
learn to express yourself as the masters
do.
When you write, do not choose a high
flown subject which does not interest.
and is in no way real to you, but de-
scribe something with which you are
familiar. Take your fathers house, or
the street your school stands on, or your
own room, and try to make pen picture
OF either OF these. Write IN plain, simple
language, as you would speak. Always
write as if you were talking to somebody.
a child, or dead mother, or your cousin
Bob, who is in Madras, or your aunt En-
incline, in the frontier fort, weeks Jour-
ney from home.
Never think especially of publishing
your work, or Of making money by it.
Money is paid only to those who under
stand their art, not to beginners. You
will spoil your work and ruin all your
chances if you let the thought of money
enter into your first writing.-Harper's

Inc far white peaks of the mountains look

Inc IaQlng sails on the sea look back through

Inc traveller, leaving at night, looks back at

AND nigh on the fiery mountain Fame's
noble sons and daughters
often return their eyes TO the rustic path and

Yet give TO me not, o Muse. a song of the
backward looking!
Give TO me not, . Spirit, a thought by discour-
agement lent!
And forgive me, o Fellow ToileIs, if here is q

For oft what our lip; have said is not what

When that our eyes are turned and we seek

And feel our hope rise within US like n tide
that sweeps all before it,
For better the mountain than vale, and bet
ter the manhood than youth!
