ADVENT SERMONS.
Sixth in Series Preached by Rev. Or.
Blessing al Cathedral.
Why Catholics Honor The Blessed Virgin.
Objections Answered.

The sixth Of the Advent discourses at
ihe Cathedral was preached last even
| ing by Rev. DIR. Blessing, and, as usual,
| there was an immense attendance.
Father Blessing spoke in substance as
follows: I'm the heart of every Catho-
lie there burns a fire OF quest love
gHeaua4lea by the love OF any other
creature, surpassed only by the love OF
God, and for the blessed Virgin Mary.
Hymns of praise are chanted in her
honor, churches bear her name, while
nearly 60 times a year festivities are
celebrated by the universal church
with all the pomp OF mas,e and hymn
ody. Rich and poor, prince and pau
per, lowly priest and high, exalted car
dinals look up 70 her as a friend And
every day in reverence repeat the salu-
tation OF the angel Gabriel.
why is this SO? Why do we Catho-
lies give so much honor to a creature =?
Have we made OF her a deity. is she
equal to Almighty God? Or Is IL true
that we neglect our Savior Jesus Christ
in honorlng her who gave Him birth?
We honor Mary because God honored
her; we love her because God made
her because we know she is the noblest
creature OF the all powerful Creator.
we seek her interCeSSiOn because we
find in her a mother and n friend
Down through the ages came the word
while people sighed and patriarchs
poured forth their souls in fervent
prayer for her who was TO bear for
them Redeemer. She was the mother
of Christ, and Christ was God. II is
because OF this high dignity that we
Catholics do her honor. She had a
soul and body just as We have. but her
pure soul was never tarnshcd with the
stain OF SIN
She Is not only the most marvellous
creation OF Gods hand,work and mc.h- |
er OF the blessed Trinity made man. |
she Is also mother of the Redeemer of |
he world. Christ was the Redeemer |
VI the world, but from Mary He re- |
'eived His human body, the Instrument |

Manager Charles Comiskey, Of the st.
Paul base ball club. returned yester-
day from Dubuque without having
signed any contracts for the purchase
of the St Louis base ball franchise,
the sale of which was postponed until
next month.
They told me the club was to be
sold under the hammer" he said to a
Globe reporter But L find there
are other hammers"
And the magnate murmured some
thing about knockers clubs.
It's all right anyway he said.
Even if 1 don't get a chance at that
St. Louis franchise the St. Paul team
of 1899 is going to be the real thing in

ten the lines drawn tight, but it will
be the best aggregation that has been
seen here in long time.
Behind the bat there will be 'Beine'
Spies, the best every dav man in the
backstop in the league. He is not very
spectacular in his play. but he plays
the game every minute. and he will be
in the game most of the time. For an
extra catcher l have a Minnesota boy
named SWartZ, who has played with
some of the strongest professional
clubs in the state. and I think he is
going To be a good player. He bats
we'll and he promises well.
For pitchers we Will have DenZer,
the best in the league. F'ricken, who
did better work last year than he has
ever done before, and who seems to
be right in his prime. Cross, one of the
headiest twirlers on the diamond, and
last but not least, Chauncey Fisher,
whom | have recently secured for a
purchase price of $1,000. Fisher, as
much as any one else, has contributed
bn Of ha In 011 in
the last few years. He is one of the
headiest pitchers on the field. and is
able to so in at a critical time and
pitch out victory when few other men
could resist the temptation to lose
their heads.
''IsbeH will play first base, and he
will show some of the fans game that
will surprise them. GIenalvin will be
at second. Glen had an itching year
ago to get out of the business but this
has not been manifest this year, for
he has been well treated in st. Paul,
and seems to be anxious to play here.
