DESTINY OF MAN.
Rev DR.. Stafford Delivers the Second OF
His Lectures on This Topic.

Rev Dr. Stafford Delivers the Second OF
His Lectures on This Topic.
The second of the series of sermons by the
Rev. DIR. D. J. Stafford on the DESTINY of
Man was delivered last night at st. Patrici's S
/ Church, The attendance at the first lecture
was notably large. Last night hundreds of
people failed to find accommodation. the
! church having been crowded early to the
| center doors.
| In general terms in his Introductory lee
ture Dr. Stafford's object was to convey the
! idea that mans destiny could not be fulfilled
| on earth. Last night his contention was
that that destiny must be in God, since by
! the frivolty of mans nature man tends
| towards God.
In proof of this position he considered the
three great faculties of mantle intellect,
the WILL and the Imagination. As man
| passes from youth to age he finds that he is
| disillusioned of his dreams and eventually
! arrives at the conclusion that no creature or
| creation of God can satisfy his ultimate
| aspirations He cited st. Augustine as an
! example of this argument. narrating the cir
! cumstances which led st. Augustine TO
adopt this philosophy as the only solution OF
| the problem of life.
It was the history and experience of all
mankind tha; when all is exhausted they turn
to God as the last and only hope. Christ
taught the same philosophy to the Samaritan
woman and to the Christian world when he
told her that should she drink of the waters
| He offered. she should thirst no more. Thus
the mind the first faculty of man. is pro-
gressive principle. and experience shows that
the higher the attainment the more lies be-
fore us to be attained. as in the cases of the
geologist, the astronomer. or the physicist.
Yet some truth is better than no truth, and
| God has designedly left mans mind in state
of uncertainty in order that our submission
| to him may be the reward OF virtue.
The second faculty of the mind is the Will,
which influences US through the good.
Whenever we cease to be go influenced we
cease to be human beings. II, then, every
creature and creation Of God has such an
influence over US, what should be the effect
! upon us of the infinite goodness and beauty

wEDLoCk Is SACRED.
Sermon Of Vice Rector Garrigan. Of the
Catholic University, on Marriage.

Catholic University, on Marriage.
Rev. DR.. Garrigan, vice rector OF the
Catholic University, preached another OF
his coursse of sermons on Marriage" at
St. Augustine's CoIored Catholic Church,
Fifteenth street. between L and NJ streets
northwest. yesterday afternoon at half
past four O'Clock.
Dr. Garrigan spoke OF wedlOck as some
thing IndissoIuble, under both Divine and
natural law. From purely natural stand
point, he cOnteHded, we find a series of
principles planted in the human heart that
make the union of man with woman sacred.
Man has passions and has many OF the
elements found in the brute creation, but
these instincts are not what should guide
the Christian. God gave Eve to Adam, so
that through them the human race might be
perpetuated, for that which cannot bege5
itself is imperfect. The Father said that
IL was not good for man to be alone. He
likes and needs the society OF his kind, and
so woman was given to him as a companion
and helpmate, that through their union chill
dren may be born into the world Here We
have another natural reason for the
sanctity OF wedlock. for when a woman
brings into being "a child, you do not see the
animal instinct, but rather the love that
comes only OF a higher and grander knowl-
edge

of the Creator? The will seldom stops half
way In its pursuit of what it considers the
good. Certainly there arc some so constf-
tuted that there is no middle ground; they
must be either great saints or great devils.
The trend of the will is as directly and nat
urally towards God as is that of the intellect.
The third faculty is the Imagination by
which We know ard appreciate beauty. By
beauty, but never attain il in this life. No
sculptor, painter. or musician ever achieved
his ideal. No finite Imagination can COM
to the world his ideals in melody on har-
mony. Apelles was disappointed in his
masterpiece in marble, ana Virgil desired
/ that the Eneid be destroyed as an imperfect
poem. All concrete aspirations after ideal
or Infinite beauty. experience teaches Us,
are impossible of realization by man IN his
finite condition.
God then is at the end of all by whatever
road we travel and consequently outside OF
God no man can find his destiny And God
is everywhere, and man will find Him where
ever he is or goes, on earth. in heaven or in
hell
How much better IS it, DR.. Stafford said,
"to acknowledge with st. Augustine, Our
hearts are not at rest until they rest in Thee. >
than to believe the vile stuff OF some of the
scientists that man can not get beyond mat
ter and that he must perish with it.
DR.. Stafford will on next Sunday night dis
cuss the thought OF the possibility of the loss
of destiny, and in the concluding lecture will
answer the question Will God respond to
the cry OF the human heart? 2"

spoke of the idealism as an element that
enables the man to think of something
high and noble, and make the concept q

The special tendency in America, he
said, was to materalism, and the mission
of the irish race is to infuse into the

pastor of Salem Baptist Church, Champlain
avenue northwest, at IL O'Clock yesterday
morning.
The preacher referred briefly to the
severe winterthrough which we have passed,
and the suffering throughout the length
and breadth of our land, and other Countries.
He spoke of Washington as being one of the
most favored cities in the Union, first, be-
cause there are so many government
employees here whose income is not affected
by financial Stringcncies or changes of the
seasons; secondly, because the people OF
Washington are, as q rule, industrious.
Notwithstanding the advantages, he said,
there had been more suffering here than
had been known before in the history OF
the city, which would have been greatly
increased bat for the charitably disposed

Rev. Adolos Allen, associate pastor OF
the First Presbyterian Church, delivered
an address yesterday morning to the class
of young men in whom he has interested
himself, and regarding whose moral welfare
he has been specially solicitous.
Rev. Mr.. Allen spoke from that part of
the third chapter of Revelations, beginning
with the verse, Behold, stand at the door
and knock" He made plain the fact that
Christ in His infinite mercy, desired the
man made in His own image TO simply
whisper at even the keyhole Of the gates
OF pearl and obtain the light which
emanates from the throne of Jasper,
whereon is seated the Lamb OF God. He
showed that every good deed done by man
