REV. Father Kiely's sermon was
from the text: %. grave. where is tiny
victory? o. death. where is thy sting?
| He said:
"rUnder circumstances like these. my
brethren, and with our present imper-

Of st. Paul seems very strange. %,

where is THY sting? This is the chal-
lenge which the inspired apostle of the
| Gentiles propounded in behalf of the
human race. TO death. and death an
swered back in firmer echoes, and with
a triumphant voice: My victory is in
all places. At all times. and under all
circumstances; among the children OF
men, my victory Is evident.
death takes us in spirit to the bat
tlefield, and shows us his victory over
| the human race. He invites us to the
| cemeteries which are scattered through
out the entire world. and he says:
| Here is the evidence of my victory

These, says Death. are my agents

death Is victorious in this life, and AFT
ter THE victory. then he takes US In
spirit to the homes that are desolate.
and to the friends whose hearts are
broken. and he says to us: Here Is the

we need further evidence. my friends
Have we not evidence before US to-
day that death is victorious? He has
stilled forever that voice that was so
sweet and loving in the family circle.
He has frozen the head-that manly
| hand that never weakened before. and
he has taken from the body all that
was mortal. and he says: Behold my
victory Does not the dead join with
| Death in saying To-day for me, to-

I'm all circles of life Death is the
conquerer of all. He is in the palace
of the king, no matter what barrier

gone. disappearing only through the

| %, Death, where is thy victory?' What
defense can we make to the words OF
| the Apostle, st. Paul? There is a de-
| Tense, and that defense consists in
| this, that in the very victory which
| Death achieves when man dies, death
| itself is conquered, for death is but the
| gate that leads from this life to life
| eternal. Death shortens our temporal
life, but 1t gives US life eternal. Just
| like the seed thrown into the ground.

man race. before they put on immor-

Our friend is not dead. The soul
is immortal. and to-day / can say to
you in the words of the Savior TO the
| maid in the Gospel: He Is not dead;
he sIeepeth. The soul OF the deceased
went out Of this cold body with all its
| affections, al its desires, all it's aspira-
| tons, the same as you left your homes
this afternoon and came to this little
church to attend this funeral. The soul
that is immortal, while this scene is
| being transacted. looks down on us
from heaven and says: %, Death, where
| is thy victory? because the soul is i'm
mortal and can never die.
How consoling. my friends, Is re-
ligion in its teaching. Through IL:
teachings. the hope OF blissful immor-
tally forever springs in the human
heart. Through that hope religion tell:
us we are not going to separate from

when that union takes place there shall
be no sorrow, there shall be no parting
