The address by Bishop Haid was a
fine effort.

annah, indeed, for the city itself.
For nearly 30 years the. Benedictine
Father labored here: first on the Isle
of Hope and Skidaway Island, where
some now rest, marthyrs to duty; then
among the colored people and in the
little church which they hope soon to
exchange for one more worthy of God,
and more in keeping with the wants
of their growing congregation. When
the sanity Father Oswald began on
Habersham street only a handful of
people gathered around him.
Slowly their numbers increased till
now, in spite of additions, the church
is unable to accommodate the congrega-
ton. To-day the cornerstone of the
new edifice was layed according TO the
grand ceremonial of the Catholic
Church, with thousands to witness the

supreme head of Christ's church.
They will bring no human mes
sage-no personal discoveries, inven-
tons or opinions-but be the ambas-
sailors of Christ, repeating only what
has blessed the world for nineteen
centuries. Before the altar your chill
dren will be inscribed among the SOL
diers of Christ in the Sacrament of
Confirmation by the successors of
Saints Peter and John, who confirmed
those who had received baptism at the
hands of the priests and deacons of
the Apostolic days. Your youths and
maidens shall kneel in this sanctuary
to receive the blessing of God and His
church on their marriage vows that
they may keep them in sanctity and
happiness.
above all will be fulfilled the holy
sacrifice foretOld by Malachy the
Prophet: For from the rising of the
sun even to the going down, my name
is great among the Gentiles, and in
every place there is sacrifice and there
is offered to my name a clean abba
ton. (Mal. LID. This clean ablation
is no other than the sacrifice of Cal
vary, renewed in every mass on Cath
Ollie affairs. With St. Paul we exclaim:
'Habemus Altare.' we have an altar,
and our hearts are filed with hottest
joy. And when life's ftful course Is
run, when nothing remains but the tab
ernacle of clay once the dwelling place
of the soul, it is reverently placed be-
fore the altar, that we may pray for
our dead where they worshipped in
life, and that our sorrow may not be
without hope and consolation for 1t is
a holy and wholesome thought to pray
for the dead that they may be loosed
from their sins? (II. Macha. xii, 46).
Catholics should Rejoice.
These are truly great reasons why
the members of the Sacred Heart con-
gregation should rejoice to-day, which
marks the beginning of their new
church. But Catholics are one-one in
faith, one in obedience, one in sacra-
mental graces. Hence, though for con-
venience sake. they are divided into
different congregations, they are one
in heart and soul, share their trials
and sorrows, their joys and triumphs.
For this reason all the Catholics Of
Savannah rejoice with their brethren
of this congregation. Our non-Catho-
lie fellow-citizens will likewise share
in the benefits which the new church
will bestow upon the city, not only in
a temporal way, as this striking evil
dence Of Catholic life and success will
attract the attention of many earnest
Catholics who may favor Savannah in
business affairs, but more especial
ly in a religious light.
Real religion leads to all virtues,
natural and supernatural. as irrelig-
ion tends towards sin and vice. A good
Catholic must be a good citizen. If he
permits his religious duty to influence
his life, the constant tendency is bene-

cut in the throat. The men, both of
whom are negroes, were at a dance and

make a new road and a new gate. This
latest gate was soon applied to the
same uses as all cityegates; it,became
a prison house. Ludgate was debt
or's prison, Westminster gatehouse
took charge of Westminster offenders,
the gates of York. Newcastle, Chester,
Carlisle, and SO forth, were all used as
places of durance. Newgate was early
styled "a heynouse gate" dark, pesti-
ferrous den, always greatly overcrowd-
ed and with captives of all categories.
1t retained this character well into the
middle of the nineteenth century.
There have been three principal pris-
ons upon thesame site. The gatehouse,
was "re-edified" by Whittington's ex-
ecutors, and was long known as
"Whit's Palace" and as such lasted, a
couple of centuries, being the prin-
cipal goal for the English metropolis.
Wren is said to have rebuilt it after the
great fire, and yet 100 years later, fol-
lowing John Towards philippics, it
was necessary to rebuild it entirely.

alike were squalid, ragged, half
clothed and unwashed. The only
chance of ablution was at the public
pump in the yard. No beds were pro-
vided; prisoners slept on rope mats
''in companies of three and four to
keep each other warm under couple
of stable rugs" The only discipline
was the petty, cruel tyranny of tho
wardsmen," selected prisoners, who
rode rough on their fellows, levying
blackmail on all. Fights and serious
ARRAYS were frequent in the wards
and public gathering places, when
many were badly wounded. The worst
part of the prison was the ''pressyard,"
the location of the condemned, of
those "cast" for death, where so or 60

the only place of execution for Lon

The actual origin of the New Gate
of London is lost in antiquity. One
chronicler, Maitland, declares that it
was as old as the Romans, and that the
Waiting street pointed straight to this
gate. Another, Stowe, tells us that in
the building of ST. Paul's cathedral in
1886 large enclosure was taken up as

were introduced now by the corpora

belonged until 1877, but the one remedy
which would alone serve, the rebuild

more commodious site, az was done
later at Holloway, was not undertaken.
Happily there were some private per-
sons, philanthropic souls, to act where
officialdom was still lax Elizabeth
Fry was not the first to adopt prison
visitation. She had been preceded in
this high mission by the great John
Wesley and by Silas Told, who labored
strenuously, chiefly amongst felons

ministrations proved blessing to
