THE GLORY OF GOD.
Subject of Rev. Mr. Berry's First Sermon
at Congress Street Church.


There was large congregation IN at
tendance upon the SERVES at the Cong
gress Street Methodist church yesterday
afternoon TO hear the first sermon OF the
new pastor, Rev. W. +. Berry. Inc
music WAS of the usual high order,
given by the well trained choirs OF she
church. The pastor preached on 1.-The
Glory of God and took his text from IL.
Cor, 4-6.
In the course of his sermon Mr. Berry
asked and answered first, what is God S
glory? and again is it to glorify God
In the first instance the speaker showed
that Gods glory is His love. mercy,
goodness an d forgiveness, as shown to
man in the''face of Christ. ~
The second thought emphasized the
point that the true way for man to
glorify God was fer the individual to
help lift humanity toward God
at the close of the sermon many OF the
parishiouers and church members gath
cred about tho pulpit and extended a
wslcome to their new pastor, and in
many instances old acquaintances were
renewed, as Mr.. Berry is not an entire
stranger to his new charge.

crowded at all the services yesterday,
particularly at the solemn high mass,
which was celebrated at 10. 80 a. m. The
musical programme was one of great
beauty, and substantially the same as
that rendered on Easter Sunday. There
were many musical people present who
were lavish in their praise Of the excel
lent manner III which the programme
was rendered by organist and choir.

Gently erected during the mems mission.
This shrine was a bower of flowers
and tapers. The officers of the solemn
high mass were Rev. f. H. Lee, cele-
hrant, Rev. ". B. Hogan, deacon, and
Rev. J. A. Lynch, sub deacon. At the
CLOSE of tie mass the Rev. Father Hogan
preached a very eloquent sermon on the
evils of drunkenness. He citel many
examples showing the unspeakable mis-
cry and sin that drunkenness entails,
not only on the victim, but likewise
bringing ruiD and disgrace to his family.
1t was one of the seyerest castigations
of the drunkard that we have ever lis
tened to, and most effectively delivered.

DIVORCE.
Mr.. r. t. whitehouse Before the Equal
Suffrage Club.

Saturday afternoon Mr. Robert l..
"hltehouse delivered the sixth and last
lecture In his course before the Equal
suffrage. George Eliot and Travellers
clubs. The lecture was given at the
7 fraternity rooms and was largely at
tented. The subject of Mr.. Whitehouss' s
paper was "Divorce" and it was most
interesting and instructive discourse.
Inc speaker traced the history of divorce
from the earliest times until the present
day. he told of the condition of the
divorce laws in Maine and in the United
States and ascribed tae cause of the large
increase in the number of divorces to tho
loose character of the modern divorce
laws. Mr.. Whitehouse suggested as n
remedy to the largo number of divorces
legal separation without thu right of
remarrying, in place of tho hsolute
divorce which may be obtalnc pres
ent. He argued that many seek
divorce because they have to
marry someone else. ME- VI .lehouse
is most effective speaker and his leot-
ures before these clubs this winter have
been greatly enjoyed.
