1.-The priest pressed his interview.
What, for instance, would your people
in America say if one of our padres
would go to one of your funeral cere.
monies, OF interrupt your church ser.
vices by telling your people: All that
is being told you by your preacher is
false?
Why l said, we would mob him.
"'Of course said the good Father:
laughing, yet most Of your mission
aries seem to think it their duty to tell
our children that all we have taught
their fathers and mothers during these
years is false. And yet we do not at
tempt to mob your missionaries
"When I attempted to get at the mo-
tive Of such an intelligent man as the
Father spending all his life among the
Indians, the old mans face beamed
with a bright, sad smile, as he an
swered:
"'My son, if can but hold this cru.
cifix to the eyes of single dying In
dian, am satisfied fully And he ST.
lently uttered prayer"
Mr.. Kerbey continued with empha-
sis: "When l am in these countries
I always stand up for my country
right or wrong-and, finding the old
man had the best Of the argument, I
fell back on the familiar quotation,
heard in missionary meetings:
eco ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature
II felt that this was a settler, and
would justify all our missionary ef-
fort, but the old padre gathered him
self together and looked at me benign
ly, as he said with a significant smile:
"'Yes, my son; but that command
did not come from America
"What more could be said?
II am glad to give this old Fathers
message to the people,"
This is the substance of the story,
as I heard it from Major Kerbey, and
there is no reason to think he exagger-
ates, especially as he himself is not

A NEGRO PRIEST.
A Sermon BY Father Dorsey to the
ColOrad CAtholie0.

Celored Catholics.
High mass in the only Catholic church
i'll this city exclusively used by the
colored people, says the New Orleans
Picayune Of a recent date, had more
than it's usual solemnity and interest
for the very large concourse of wor-
shippers that filled the sacred edifice.
They came to assist Mt the holy sacri-
flee in which priest of their own race
| was both celebrant and preacher.
There are only two colored Catholic
1 priests in the whole United States
Rev. John Henry Dorsey, at present
in New Orleans, and who officiated in
st. katharine's yesterday, and Rev.
q. Il. Uncles, a professor in college
in Baltimore. Father Dorsey was
born in 1874 in Baltimore, and was
ordained in June last by Cardinal
Gibbons. He is making tour of the
Southern cities to find out how the
sentiment is with regard to a priest
Of the colored race, and up to this
time he has met with uniform kind
ness OH the part of the people.
| He is of medium height, spare built,
and of an intelligent and amiable
cast of countenance. His voice is
sonorous and under perfect control
and his diction elegant and flowing.
Father Dorsey preached just before
the last Gospel was read.
His theme was ",rhe Holy Sacrifice
of the Mass" elaborated from the
text:
Il have no pleasure in you, saith the
Lord Of Hosts, neither will 1 accept
an offering at your hand For, from
the rising of the sun until the going
down of the same, my name shall be
great among the Gentiles; and in
every place incense shall be offered
unto my name, and pure Offering:
for my name shall be great among
the heather, saith the Lord of Hosts" ("
-Malachi j, 1O-11.
After proving by the records of the
distant past that, in all ages, man ha s
had an idea of the Almighty Shirt
that rules the universe, and that all
races of men had, in some form or
other, attempted to show their rcvcr-
ence and fear of God by Offering sacrl-
f1ces, Father Dorsey said that the
Church founded by Jesus Christ as
sisted by the Holy Ghost, has sur
vived prosecutions and troubles and
calumnfes, and will go on until the
end of the world, because it was insti-
tuted by God, and because it is found
cd on truth which is of the essence of
God himself. The Catholic priests
have always stood by truth, and have
ever been the champions of oppressed
humanity. More, they have saved to
civilization most of the priceless litera-
ture of the past ages by hiding from
| the vandals and other bnrbarians
many precious manuscripts which
otherwise would have been destroyed.
Here Father Dorsey digrcsscd from
his theme to say a few words about
himself, Il cOlorcd priest, and to tell
his people how he has been treated by
the white people of the North and
South.
