The mission which will be held at St. Mary's Cathedral during this week was commenced yesterday morning with sol emn services.

 Archbishop Riordan, in eXpounding the subject of his address, brought out in of repentance as a means of redemption. The objects of the mission" he said, "are to bring the indifferent and stray sheep to repentance, and by cleansing their souls bring them nearer to God. The mission is to instruct and point out the necessity of a thorough hatred Of sin as means to eternal happiness. The preacher cited various characters of the Bible and spoke of the mission as highly essential both for the good and bad, and not merely for the sinful, as many think
 At the conclusion of mass bened1ction of the blessed sacrament was soemnized, being said by the Archbishop, assisted by the various priests.

HEROIC SELF SACRIFICE.

Christian Missionaries" was the sub ject of the address given by Rev. John Stephens at the Simpson Memorial Meth odist Episcopal Church last night
 The words of the text" he said, fur nish the most startling romance of the nineteenth century; the facts of its his tory are stranger than fiction; the power of Christ over men was never more glo- riously exemplified than in missionary ef- fort. We see the workings of an over ruling providence subduing the rebellious kingdoms of the earth, and God has caused the wrath of men to praise him.
 The story of the occupation of Fur key, Siam, China and Japan is a marvel ous narrative of the operation of divine grace, the missionaries themselves ex- hibit the fairest types of Christian char acter that. the century has produced, in their heroic self-secrifice; the work of such men as Mckay, Livingston and Moi fett have been unequaled in the world. ,,, The power of the gospel Is wonderfully illustrated in the conquests that have been made over heather depravity; mira cles have been wrought in the transfor- nations Of degraded natures

 Thus it is written, and thus 1t behooved Christ to suffer. to rise again on the third day, that repentance and remission of sins might be preached in his name among all nations. beginning at Jerusa- lem" The sermon was on Christian missions, and he said in part: The ob- jection is made that the results of for eign missionary work are so inadequate.

OUR ALLIES IN THE FIGHT.

"our Allies in the Fight" was the sub feet of Rev. pr. Hemphill's address last night at the Calvary Presbyterian Church. The text of the address was taken from the Fifty-fifth Psalm, in which David tells of his victory over his enemies. It was at time when David thought himself unbefriended and did not expect any to be on his side, when suddenly he heard the tramp of an army, and he breaks forth with the utterance of glad surprise, there were many with mel"

 .'Did the Spanish Government blow up out battleship and our brave boys in blue? If she did she may squirm and play for delay, but the United States Government will not suffer her brave boys to be blown to o.. atoms to make al Government will protect her citizens and soldiers and punish those who outrage them. If we are fighting for the right. we have Gods angels on our side. and they tell for many. They turn seeming minor ities into real majorities. When conflicts deepen on earth other worlds send hosts of eager combatantS to the fray Hell will do It's worst to ruin us: but be com forted heaven will do its best to save us. The Kingdom of Righteousness is the most powerful kingdom in the universe and none may outrage citizen of that kingdom with impunity. The world is on our side The system of nature has never been false to the right. The ordinances and means of grace are on our side. They who stand on our side tell for many The forces which are leagued against us are not the master forces of the universe The master forces are on our side. and if we give them full play nothing can withstand us. When word was brought to Plymouth that the Span ish armada was in sight Admiral Sir Francis Drake was playing a game of skttles, and the great naval hero insist ed on finishing the game, saying There will be plenty of time then to beat the Spaniard.' A man of that mettle was very likely to beat the Spaniard. There is another Spanish armada rushing across the Atlantic. at present, but we are not afraid We have a few American heroes who can play a game of skttles and whip the Spaniard in the bargain. And it is time to whip the Spanard. Not because of the blow ing up of the battleship and the boys in blue. We have to prove that yet, but be- cause of Spain's inhumanity to Cuba and the Cubans In the name of humanity let the inhumanity cease. We do not want war, but we want the bloody inhu- manity to stop, and 1t must stop. Spain has always been inhuman. We are not
