BISHOP HA1D LAST NIGHT.
An Able and Eloquent Lecture on
Human Suffering.

An Able and Eloquent Lecture on
Human Suffering.
1t is seldom that an audience is able
to enjoy so rare a treat as was pre-
sented by Bishop Haid in his lecutre at
the Opera House last night Pointing
with a master hand to the sufferings of
Job he proceeded to explain the curse of
Job, and all human suffering. God had
not intended human SUFFERING human
tear was never to have been shed. Sim
begun in Adam and multiplied in his
children, is the source whence suffering
proceeds. But christianity, not only
affords the explanation OF the source, but
gives the key to its present purpose-to
redeem men, to aid their sanctification,
to enable them, to obtain the everlasting
happiness of heaven. BY sorrows, by
self-denial, by pains and Affections, is
this accomplished.
Among the questions placed in the box
the following were most notable:
'Is there fire in help II have never
been there" said the Bishop, smilingly
"and as the Catholic church has not de-
fined the matter, cannot tell We must
not forget, with regard to this, that in
speaking to men, God accommodated
himself to the understanding of men.
Had he been speaking to the angels, he
might have used different words. The
object OF such words, though they may
not mean such material fire as we have
on earth, was certainly to convey the
meaning OF most terrible torment.
''St. Johns Epistle says: 11e that is
born OF God, committeth no SIM do you
know that a man who is sanctifed can
commit SIM" "We cannot" was the
answer, ''detach a few words from por-
ton OF scripture and explain them with
out reference to the whole context and
the rest OF scripture. To do so would
lead to numberless errors and infinite
nonsense. An infdel once urged that the
scripture itself used the words, There
IS no God but he failed to mention
that tho scripture asserted that it was a
fool who said the words Numerous
texts in scripture show us that man, as
long as he is on earth, is always liable
to fall from grace, and the explanation
of the words Of st. John is that a man
who is in the state Of grace committeth
no evil as long rs he remains in that
state"
If Catholics are forbidden to marry
with on-Catholics, how is it the mar
riages take placer "a dilemma, I sup
pose" said the Bishop, and the audience
laughed. Catholics" continued the

A LIVELY BRIDGE FIGHT.
The Battle Bridge Question Again NJ
Before the Commissioners.

The Battle Bridge Question Again up
Before the Commissioners.
At the meeting Of the county commits
sioners yesterday there was lively time
over the old Battle bridge and the Mial
bridge across Neuse river, some ten
miles east OF here. Both factions were
represented and there came near being
a personal encounter between some Of
them.
The Battle bridge was washed away
about a year ago. The Mial faction
then petitioned for the bridge not to be
rebuilt and asked that in its stead a
bridge be built about three miles below,
on the new road leading from Shotwell
to Clayton. This the Board refused to
do, though they decided not to re build
the Battle bridge, but to establish a.
ferry there instead. The Mial faction, or
advocates OF the new bridge, then asked
the Board to pay half the cost of a
bridge on the Clayton road. The Board
refused to do this and decided to build
the Battle bridge Then the Mial faction
went to work and built it's bridge at it's
own expense. The Mial bridge has been
completed and the Battle bridge is in
course OF construction.
Now the Mial faction comes forward
and asks that the county accept it's
bridge and pay half Of the cost. But
the Battle bridge faction objects to this
and charges that the Mial bridge was
built by the merchants Of Clayton in
order to turn the trade OF that section
from Raleigh to Clayton.
The Board have heard both sides fully
and viii to-day decide what they will
do about the matter-whether they viii
accept the Mial bridge and stop work on
the Battle bridge, or whether they will
refuse to pay for the Mial bridge and
complete the Battle bridge.
The following additional township con-
stables fled their bonds, which accepted,
and were yesterday sworn in:
Cary township-John w. Warren,
$500; signed by l.. B. Woodall and ].

Bishop, "are not absolutely forbidden
to marry non Catholics, but only when
there are not sufficient reasons, and
when no dispensation has been previously
obtained Anyone understands that the
same authority that makes a law can
dispense from that law. So If there are
sufficient reasons for a Catholic to marry
a non-Catholic, the church may grant a
dispensation if it is applied for.
"Why 90 You use LatinY' Latin is
used by the church," the Bishop an
swered, 'only in the official prayers Of the
church, and OF these prayers there is
always n translation in the prayer book
of Catholics so that they know exactly
what is being said. In other circum-
stances-in preaching, in dealing with
the people, and all prayers not absolutely
official-the common language of the peo-
pie is always used. The Catholic church
is 1900 years old 1t had Latin as its
official language long before it converted
the present nations of Europe to chris
tianity-long before the present Ian
guages were formed and perfected. 1t
prefers a dead language as official, be-
cause such n language never changes,
and preserves better it's prayers and doc
trines through the different ages. Liv-
ing languages are perpetually changing.
Who to-day, for instance, could under
stand the English Of Chaucer's time,
though it is our own mother tongueT'
