Archbishop Keane chose as the text for
his sermon. Render unto Ca sar the
things that are Caesars, and unto God the
thiuEE that are Gods" The discourse was
an explanation OF the laws OF love and
justice, as being the fundamental etht
OF Christianity. After having expanded On
the charity that has the special character
ist3c of ChTists nature, he spoke Of the
obligations incumbent on man as mem
ceTu. first, the family; second, the fel ON
man, and third, the state and obedience
10 its laws
The Archbishop showed the various re
latiOus that should exist between the
members CT a family, stating that harmony
was absolutely necessary to peace and
happiness lie said that a husband should
acquiesce in the wishes of a wife, and
that the latter should implicitly obey the
commands Of the former or their marriage
VOWS would be a mCckery He said that
an estrangement between parents resulted
IN future misery for their children, and
would lessen the love of their children for
them a husband" the Archbishop said
should attempt TO amuse his wife as the
constant mCnOtony ci domestic life is
enervating and frequently ruins health,
disastrous and irreparable catastrophe to
the family" The wife. the speaker said,
must evince appreciation for the husbands
gifts. for men are abashed and deferred
by uathankfuIness and ingratitude. The
Archbishop said that the observance of
these little rules CT life is not a tTiiing
duty: on the contrary, he explained, it
IS the sole cause Of happiness.
Archbishop K6ane spoke on the duties
Of parents to their children. The characters
Of boys and girls. he said, are formed
when young by their mothers and fathers,
who have a great responsibility. Through
careIessaess or neglect children frequently
become criminals and menaces to society,
when. if properly trained by their parents,
they would have been good and useful men
and women.
The duty CT the mother to her child is
to inculcate in the mind a love for virtue
and adherence for evil. The father is
obliged by the laws of society and the
Church to have the child educated. Par
ents must choose the associates of their
children. CT years Of toll and money will
be wasted. Bad companionship. the Arch
bishcp said is worse than the temptations
Of evil.
"AH men" the Archbishop said. are
members OF certain classes Of society. and
10 each is due faithful observance Of its
rules. which epitomized, amount to this
grand principle: Do unto others as you
would have others do unto you A man
must be s0ciable; his wife needs the re-
Taxation which is found in parties and
balls; the children require such functions
for their education, and he improves his
business BY going into society and max
ing acquaintance" Magnificent balls.
however Archbishop Keane said, are
causes Of running men. Fortunes are Of
ten spent by families in the endeayor TO
emulate their neighbors. Such profigacy
is injurious TO mans family and 10 so
cieJy.
The Archbishop said that man is com
PEELED by the laws of God TO obey the
laws Of his country. He IS not permitted
TO doubt the business Of them; they must
be obcyed without murmur. The ruler Of
@ country is a sovereign instituted by God
who is his Judge.
