three days in Eureka. On Sunday ne
confirmed d large class that had been
instructed in Christian doctrine for
several months by Rev. Father Man
ion, pastor of the Catholic church, and
the bishop found them well prepared
for the reception of the sacrament.
There were two masses on Sunday,
the first at 8 o'clock when the Rev.
Bishop was celebrant. At 10 O'Clock
the large congregation. including many
nOn-Catholics, filled the church. Rev.
Father Manion celebrated the mass.
and the Rev. Bishop preached force
full and effective sermon He first eX-
planned the glory and power of Jesus
so beautifully taught in the gospel of
the day-the forgiveness of the sins
and curing the sick man of the palsy
that had been brought to him. He
explained points of Catholic doctrine
and that the church used material
things in her ceremonies to spiritually
impress her children. The bishop re-
lated several incidents of his early
missions when as priest he was sta
toned in Nevada, and ne told of the
lessons of forbearance, charity and hui
mility they taught him. and he hoped
his hearers would always battle
against temptation. The bishop adj
dressed in simple and beautiful Ian
guage the class he was to confirm,
which appealed to all present He
urged them to begin life well and 10
live ar honest, modest, temperate,
charitable and humble life to gain the
final reward. He spoke in sympathy
with the family who the previous even
ing suffered the loss of their home by
fire, together with all their earthly be-
longingS, and he said the greatest COM
fort in our hours of sadness came when
we laid our crosses at the feet OF him
who suffered for us. Christians. ne
said, should accept as coming from
God Universities and misfortunes, as
we'll as gladness and prosperity. The
bishop referred to the hymn Nearer.
My God to Thee" which-was- sung at
his mass at o'clock, as his favorite
hymn, and said that every hour Of our
lives should bring us nearer to God.
In concluding, the bishop said he heard
at Salt Lake and at points along the
road that Eureka was to have boom,
and he earnestly wished that the hopes
and Iongings of the people who had
stayed in the camp all these years
would be realized, and that he would
rejoice with them upon the return OF
the good old days. The bishop then
