OYER 1000 PRESENT LAST NIGHT
''The Day of Judgement Elo-
quently Pictured by
Father Burke.

Over two thousand young men crowded
st. Mary's r. c. church last night dur
ing the single mems S mission services that
are being conducted by the Paulist
Fathers and listened to a splendid SER
mon delivered by the eloquent and earn
est Father Burke.
After the sermon signed coupons of
Total Abstinence cards distributed the
night before were collected. BY actual
! count 512 were collected. Father Ken
nedy said number of the young men
had told him that they had forgotten to
bring their cards with them. He believed
he said, that at least six hundred of the
coupons had been signed. and that this
would make St. 2Iary's the banner Mis-
sion.
Father Burke's sermon was on ''The
Day of Judgment He drew a horrible
picture of the day when mortal sinner
faces God and finds that he is lost for
ever. He said that when the sinner was
before God and found out that he had no
chance for repentance he would plead for
mercy and to go back to earth, and his
pleadings would be pitiful to behold. BE
would beg piteously for only few hours
to go back to earth and atone for his sins.
Satan would look ON with cleaning coun-
tenance and say to God, '.You made him.
but he has sold his soul to me-" He pic
tured the contrast between one before the
bar of Judgment who had lived all his
life in a state of grace and the sinner,
even he who had repented. God, he said
would welcome the one who had lived in
grace all his life and he would be admit
ted Immediately into His presence.
1t was unnatural, he said, to believe
that one who had sinned often, even
though he had repented. wou.- be on the
same footing with him who had lived and
died in a state of grace. He must fur
ther atone for his sin after death before
he could be admitted to Gods presence.
The sinner who has failed to repent on
earth is often not the one. who is really
responsible for having committed the
sins. Some one else had led him on
How many, said the speaker, are there
who will, when before the bar of judg-
ment, say to God, II would not have
sinned had / not been led into sin by
Others" How many women will say,
"Oh, God, had no thought of SHINING
until led on by this or that man." He
also pointed out the great number of
men who had been led to drink through
the persuasion Of others and who had
they led sober, temperate lives, probably
would meyer have committed the sins
charged against them.
YeniaL sin, such as backbiting ones

sins need long repentance. Few realize
