FORTY HOURS DEVOTION.
The Service BcGun at ST. Pntrick's
Church.

The Service Begun Mt ST. PntricL's
Church.
The forty hours devotion was began at
St PatriclS's Church at high mass yester-
day. The Blessed Sacrament was carried
in procession through the church, preceded
by the acolytes. censor bearers. and altar
boys The inmates of st. Josephs Orphan
Asylum. little girls dressed in white,
strewing flowers before the holy host, the
rendering of a specially prepared musical
programme by an augmented choir. ban
ners. flowers, a flood of dazzling light, and
soothing incense made the scene one of
solemnity and impressive splendor.
Rev. DR.. Foulier celebrated high mass,
assisted by Rev. Father Dolan. deacon, and
priest of the order of the Marist Fathers
sub-deacon. Rev. Father Gloyd, the pastor
OF St Patrick's. and Rev. DR.. Stafford oc-
cupied places in the sanctuary. William
A. Shreve acted as master of ceremonies
with Albert Ridgeway assisting. Joseph

Rev. Father Dolan preached. taking foI
his text the 10th chapter of St John, 1881
verse. and said in the course of his sermon
that notwithstanding our transgressions
and sins God loves us. and notwithstanding
his love we decline to serve him. This re-
fusal comes with the declaration of war on
the part of the creature OF original sin
against the Creator. God decreed to raise
human nature to a supernatural order of
love and friendship with himself with a
right and duty of aspiring to him as our
supernatural end. and being preserved from
death. of finally possessing him in heaven
No sooner did God create Adam than he be-
slowed upon him, as head of the whole
human family, all the supernatural gifts
called holiness and original justice, to be
transmitted. together with human nature
itself to all his children. Unhapplly,
Adam, by his disobedience. rejected that
original justice, and we, as members of
the human family. of which he was the
head, are also implicated in that guilt of
self-spolation, of rejection, aud depriva-
ton. of those supernatural gifts.
God deprived Adam of the gifts of
grace. stripped man of all ordinary gifts
When man came first from the h nds of
God he was perfect piece of Gods handi-
work. but now he was cut off from the
possibility of reaching the destiny which
God intended for him. Even his chosen
people he sold into captivity, and he allow
ed the heather to trample upon them. God
had declared war against sin. But not
withstanding all the punishment he sent,
God still loved the world. He desired peace
and reconciliation with the creature of his
own image, with the creature that possess
ed an immortal soul, and which resembled
him

business to be transa tied this evening by

During the past week the names of many

dates to fill the executive chair of the com

chairman and secretary. hut the number is
so great that the members say it is use

Thus the miracles in the hands of the
living God cease to be impossible and fall
into the category of probability. The

not deceived. They saw and wrote what
they saw, and their testimony must be re-

At the II o'clock service yesterday at
Hamline Church, the pastor. Rev W

from the text, Il have craven thee upon

Of the 10th verse .-.e.-.--.. a ..... ..-

Control of Nature.

Many suppose that in bringing a sick
man to recovery some law of nature must
be broken, or that in turning the water
into wine the exercise of creative power
must be exerted. But is this 50? Man
himself controls nature and by so doing
changes the order OF things about him.
BY simply manipulating the forces o;
nature he is enabled TO change their di-
rection and cause them 10 serve his will.
Man even interrupts the course Of nature.
He plows up the soil Of the field which
only brings forth thorns and thist!es and

by proper cultivation, the field becomes
