BIsHoP HAIp,s MIssIoN.

Bishop Haid delivered the fourth lee
ture of his series in st. Patrick's Church
last night before the largest audience
that has yet greeted him. He lectured
on Confession taking as his text the
words from st. John: Receive ye the
Holy Ghost, whose SINS you shall for
give they are forgiven, and whose sins
you shall retain they are retained" The
bishops discourse was clear and force
full, and was listened to with the
closest attention throughout. The lee
ture seemed to make profound impress
sion on all, and it is safe to say that
not one who listened to it will ever be
duped into giving a "silver Offering to
those who revile and falsify for revenue
only this Catholic practice, bearing the
impress of Christ and his apostles The
bishop is delighted with the kind and
thoughtful attention given him. He
will lecture tonight ON the Real Pre-.
mier."
