IN SACRED HgART cHuRcH.

Rev. John r. Nicholson Delivers a Ser
mon on Education.
In his sermon yesterday morning at Sa-
cred Heart church, Rev John II. Nicholson
said. In part, using the following as a text:
''And the people that sat In darkness saw
great lights and to them that sat In the re-
gion Of the shadow OF death light is sprung
up" Matthew ", 16.
The light spoken OF is the Eternal Son
Of God who in turn communicated that
light to others. To His few chosen follow
ers He said: you are the light Of the
world. Go, teach all nations The sclenee
which He taught was not the science OF
mathematics, or astronomy, or geology that
perpleN as often as they enllghteu; He
taught the science Of temporal and eternal
happiness. Efforts have been made TO dis.
place or disproye II, but they have all equal,
ly failed. The ridicule OF CELSIUS IN the
Second century has failed as dismaliy as
