The Prospective Archbishop
of this Diocese.
Opelausas Courier.

Opelausas Courier.
A general belief amounting to a
conviction now exists Oil the Cat
holic minds of Louisiana that
Right Rev. Camillus p. Macs, BIZ
shop of Covington, KY, will be
the next Archbishop of this Do
cese. We take the following ex-
tract from an article anent the
Rev. gentleman published in the
Picayune of the 18th inst:
I'm his appearance and bearing
there is a nameless something
which at once inspires the great
est veneratiOn and respect. None
who come within his sphere but
feel the benign influence of his
life. To make others happy, to
impart something of that holy Joy
which comes to the sanctified soul,
"that peace which the world can
not give, and which passeth all
understanding" is part of his dali
ly creed.
An intellect, analytic, compre-
hensive, keen, marks him a leader
men. His infinite tact, his know
ledge of human nature, his grace
and charm of manner, render him
forceful factor in the conduct of
action. His splendid executive
ability is the logical sequence Of
his we'll directed plans.
He is fine linguist, having had
stimulus and opportunity for the
cultivation of this taste. In addi-
ton to his profound learning, he
possesses that rare gift Of elo-
uuence which enables him to
reach and hold his bearers, while
his propositions SO logically pro-
we'd, seldom fail to carry convic-
tion. The keystone to his won.
derful success in his apostolic la
bors is found in the eminent sane.
tity of his life, which is at once
an example and an inspiration"

THE REIGN OF FOSTER.

l..
days of the glory Of MARKHAM,
there was chief of the pullwyres
in the city of the Crescent, who
was in sore travail, for he needed
not the truth, yea, he swore false
ly, not once but many times.
2. And therefore the people
were much wroth, and clamored
that he be punished for the wrongs
he had done. Then the wise men
held a council and writ upon
parchment that he had regarded
not the truth, even unto seven OF
the screeds did they write.
3. Then the people clapped
their hands with many shouts
cried, behold this man Maurice
hart, the boss, should have meted
out to him his Judgment. Great
are the ways of justice"
4. Upon hearing of the multi
tude, Maurice, the son of Hart
was in sore travail and he tore his
hair and wept aloud for he liked
not to wear garments with stripes
on them, neither did he wish to
crack stones with a hammer for
the glory Of the land ruled by the
great Murphy Foster.
5. And when the shouts OF the
multitude did cease and when the
people thought that Maurice would
be delivered over unto the judges,
he betook himself under the cover
of darkness and by devious ways
unto the palace of Murphyfoster,
the ruler.
6. And he spoke unto the great
man saying: Behold thy good
/
servant is in sore distress, for the
wise men say he swore falsely, and
his hair is in danger of being crop
ped and coarse garments with
stripes OH them will be placed up.
on his back. Yea, and he ever
will be made to eat corn bread anC
fat meat"

Polls Wonderland Theater.

Manager Poll has arranged another
great treat for the patrons this week.
1t is in the line of straight vaudeville,
and as the headliner he presents Miss
Kitty Mitchell the dainty little comedi-
enne who has been making such big
stir at Roster & Balls and Hammer
STEMS. Her style of work is a sort of
hodge podge Of singing, talking, imita-
lions and recitations, and it is of the
most gingery kind throughout. New
York theater-goers have pronounced
her the most magnetic soubrette that
has appeared in the metropolis during
the present season, and she is pro-
nounced one of the greatest vaudeville
successes of the year Another great
feature is Mark Sullivan and Miss
Rillie Deaves, who present a unique
sketch, entitled THE Alimony Club. "
Mr. Sullivan has appeared in New Ha-
ven number of times with prominent
legitimate companies, and enjoys a
high reputation for comedy acting.
Others on the bill include Johnson,
Davenport and Lovella, Hasten, Duey
and Hasten, Weston and Beasley, John
and Lulu Keegan, Collins and Collins,
Fisher and Carroll, and Coakley and
Huested. Prices, 10 and 20 cents; ladies
in the afternoon, all parts of the house,
10 cents.

MI. Griffin,s Farewell Words.


Large audiences gathered both morn
ing and evening yesterday at the Ep-
worth M. E. church to wish their pas
tor, Rev. D. N. Griffin, farewell. After
the evening service many fingered to
say few parting words Contrary to
what was given out in the Saturday
evening papers, Rev. Mr.. Griffin stated
that owing to his Illness and the
Strengthened financial condition of the
church he had voluntarily requested to
be removed from the present pastorate.
The best of feeling exists between pas
tor and people and the church was new
err so prosperous or had so bright an
outlook as at present. In the evening
Rev. D. N. Griffin chose a most appro
pirate subject for a farewell sermon.
'The Conclusion of the Whole Matter"
the text being In Fec. IL, 10, IA, and the
reverend gentleman said, in part:
''These are the words of the wisest
man that ever lived; a man who desir
ed not riches and honor but prayed for
wisdom. He was great as far as this
worlds goods are concerned. In Christ's
remark, Solomon in all his glory was
not arrayed like one of these there is
q hint of the vanity of his riches So
great was Solomons glory that when
ever there has been a great king his
reign has been called Solomonic reign.
"The writer of Ecclesiastes is some
times called The preacher He took
a text, Vanity of vanity, all is vanity
which he repeats many times. Finally
he comes to the end and this is the con-
clusion of his sermon, Fear God, and
keep his commandments, for this is the
whole duty of man.
eff ever there was a man who was
able to understand what this world is,
and what it can do for a man, Solomon
Is that man. For he tells us he has
tried many things. He sets out to find
the 'summum bonum, yet he did not
find this highest good, though, he sought
for it in all spheres of life. He had
everything that heart could wish and
still came to the conclusion that all is
vanity
81 have wondered many times why
we are such dull scholars. Why don't
we learn from this man and accept his
conclusion? But every man wants to
try the experiment for himself. If we
would learn this lesson we would be
saved much trouble-be saved from
wasting much time on that which is
only transient. or worse A man may
gain all wealth, yet 1t does not satisfy
The gold of that land is not good. We
have not found a true treasure. Yet
all men try this and all equally find
that fall is vanity and vexation of
spirit.
ITO a casual observer our text may
not seem to be a very profound state
nnent. However, here we have the
whole of religion; everything is sum-
med up in this: Fear God and keep
His commandments
Fear God? What is this fear? Not
physical fear, not the morose of a sin
ner but rather filial fear as to father.
This fear is the beginning of wisdom.
Let us now ask, What are these COM
mandments which are the beginning of
wisdom?' The first commandment is.
Thou shalt have no other Gods before
me; thou shalt worship God with the
whole heart.
''ELany have not got as far as this.
This is the beginning. Without it no
man can experience religion. The sec
ond commandment is, Thou shalt not

THEIR FAREWELL SERMONS
Continued from First Page.l


especially so, We have labored among
and with grand and good men. Sympa-
thetic, kind and true. True ministerial
courtesy has been practiced by all and
we shall live in each others affections,
Every word Rev. Mr. Mulch said In
his address last Wednesday evening
awoke hearty amen in our heart. The
only change we would make is that
what he said of us is more emphatcally
true of himself. This everybody knows,
A truer, kinder man we never want to
know How pleasant it has been to
work side by side during our ministry
here! We come and go; he abides,
Probably no one man in hundred
could sustain himself so we'll during so
many years. The relations between
these two churches are just what they
should be-fraternal, friendly sympa-
thetic, stimulating. The one is con-
slant help to the other. May these
truly delightful relations never change,
The same may be said of the Baptist
church and her pastors. We have en-
joyed sweet fellowship in our worship
together. And one of the strong spirit
ual men of the community, and with
whom we have taken sweetest counsel,
is the Rev. Mr.. McCrea. He came in
late from a preaching appointment
Wednesday night and would have spoll-
en- word had he been discovered.
1t is not easy to separate oneself
from such men and churches. Should
the association ever be renewed by
Gods providence in future days it will
be especially pleasant to the retiring
pastor of 1.-THE HILL
That Grace church will continue to
grow and prosper we have no doubt
The day will come when she will have
a thousand members. Her mortgage
will be paid, her audience and lecture
room enlarged, and she will more and
more become a center of spiritual in
f1uence in the city and conference. One
of her members has alredy been called
to sit in the highest body in the
church, and her members are found in
the vanguard of all good works of the
city. More and more will they fill posi-
tions Of honor in both church an6
state. As the ancient Jew looked to-
ward Jerusalem and his heart swelled
with pride as he thought of the temple
there, so may all the members of Grace
turn toward their church with in
creasing pride and joy. We bid yor
good-by in the name of our Lord, whose
presence we hope and trust will always
be with you. United in the bonds 0,
the love of Him who loved the church
and gave Himself for it, no weapon
that is formed against you shall pros
per; you shall be strong to overcome
all obstacles; you shall eat of the hid
den mama; the secret of the Lord shall
be with you, and you shall become pill
lars in the temple of God that shall
stand forever.
For a while we labor, but the heav
emily rest will surely come; we bea1
the cross to-day and receive the crown
tomorrow; if we suffer, we shall also
reign; and out of weakness we shall
be made strong. All things are yours

all belong to God our Saviour; anC
again in His name we bid you all ar
