DIR. HoGE ON CHRISTS MISSION.
DR.. Hoge preached two impressive and
interesting sermons at the Second Presby-
terrain church Sunday, ana they were
heard by large congregations. His morn
ing theme was Christs mission 10 the
Jews first and through them 10 the whole
world, and at the afternoon service he
spoke OF the danger OF following and in
being afraid TO deviate from .the broad
and easy path which leads to destruction.
His great parallel was the vast host of the
children of Israel led out of Egypt. TO
whom was given the injunction which
formed his text, "Thou shalt not follow
a multitude TO do evil" Their march
through the Arabian wilderness was but
the type of the march of all those who
have followed them across the plains OF
time. Their falls and transgressions.
which in their camp life so quickly spread
from the individual to the collective. were
but another type Of what is to-day inten-
sified to the greatest extent. The inter
communication of all people and nations
has made national and individual dam
gers and transgressions mutual. has null
tplied the responsibility of individual ac-
TONS and has necessitated more and more
the courage to say mo- to even those
things which seem sanctioned by all.
AMONG THE CATHOLICS.

Dolors of the Blessed Virgin, and an elo-
quent sermon on this solemn feast was
