Lieutenant Colonel Coursen, who OBJ

Colonel Coursen is one of the best

SERMON ON CONFESSION.
Delivered by Father Bucholx at tho
Cathedral

At st. Peters cathedral last evening
before large body of young men Rev.
Father Bucholz delivered forceful
sermon on confession"
He said that those who offend God
must make use of this divine institu-
tlon" If they would be freed from their
sins. Confession, the speaker said, was
by no means n modern institution. 1t
has existed ever since Adam and Eve
dlsobeyed God In the Garden of Eden
and were forced to confess their trans
gresslon. In the books OF Moses 1t Is
related that the sinners of those days
made confession. and when the Savior
of mankind was on earth he merely
made changes in the form of confess
sion and raised II to the dignity of one
OF the seven sacraments.
st. John tells us that on the Sunday
when the Savior had arisen from the
dead he said to his apostles, Receive
ye the Holy Ghost; whose sins you
shall forgive they are forgiven them,
whose sins you shall retain they are
retained" He did not give this power
to His apostles only that the sinners
Of that day might have the means of
salvation, but intended 1t for mankind

5. q. KERR'S LECTURE.
Spoke ut the Providence VI. l.. Church on
His Trip 10 Ireland.

HIS Trip 10 ireland.
The Sunday school rooms of the
Providence Methodist Episcopal church
was completely filed last night when $.
c. Kerr delivered his lecture "A Trip
Through Ireland" lie was introduced
by Rev. ID. NJ. Fuller, who said II gave
him great pleasure to be able to hear a
talk on that country which has given
so many prominent men to the world
in all classes.
Mr.. Kerr sailed from New York on
July >. 1892, for Londonderry, which he
reached in about seven days. He gave
Il number of humorous anecdotes of life
on the steamer, there being about l,G0O
passengers on board. Londonderry is
situated on high hill and is still sur
rounded by the old wall, twenty-one
feet thick. which did great service in
the time of James IL.
The city contains many other valu-
able relies. among them being the Epis-
copal cathedral. built in 1852, in which
is an old organ made in 1883 from ma
hogany taken from the Spanish Arma-
da. In most respects il is very much
like any city of its size in the United
States, but soon after he arrived there
Mr.. Kerr was forcibly reminded that he
was not in the land of the free by see
ing one of the Dublin jurists going
home from a session of court attended
by guard and preceded by the high
sheriff.
He then proceeded to his native town,
Donegal, where he was very kindly en-
tertained by the natives, as the tie
which binds Ireland and Amerisa is
very close. there being but few families
in Ireland members of whom are not
in this country. To say that you are
an American is all that is necessary to
assure for yourself the best treatment
possible, Mr.. Kerr said.

They were successful after the Giro ilt
