THIRTY NINTH YEAR
SABBATH LESSONS IN ELY'S CHURCHES
AT SACRED HEART.

/ Rev Father ". f. Ryan of st.
Mary's Catholic cathedral, Salt Lake,
arrived in Ely Saturday night to con-
duct a mission here during the en-
tire week. His first sermon was
preached yesterday morning at SA-
cred HaeTt Catholic church. which
was crowded with worshipers.
"Christ's Message to tho World"
was the topic chosen for the morning
sermon. The message of the beauti-
ful doctrine taught by Christ has re-
eeived great opposition from all
classes and still is has trlumphed
This opposition of the Catholic
church is still going on, said the
speaker, and in every sphere of life
the Christian doctrine remains the
most beautiful that ever fell from the
lips of man
The reason for this opposition is
because of the subsection which 1t
imposes on man because of his pas
sions. II forbids man from becom-
ing the slave to those passions.
AS IL is with the individual, so
is il with the nations This was real
lied AT different times by the nations
of the world. At the time Of the Re
formation it was realized in England
and Germany. and it is now being
realized in France. The same doc
trine will be prosecuted to the end
of time.
The speaker then coDtrasted the
conditions of France, England and
Germany with that of ireland, where,
though the people are poor In ma
terial things, because of their spiri-
tual purity and their pure lives and
the honesty of their purposes. they
adhere to the church, work for heaV-
emily rewards and are happy peo-
pie.
Father Ryan exhorted his hearers
to faith. and said that the best sign
of the friendship of God Is the per-
secution of their faith.
At the evening service, Father
Ryan spoke of Gods Grand Gift to
Man" This is the gift of an Inn
mortal soul He recited the incident
when Mary and Martha were with the
Saviour Martha busy preparing
simple meal and Mary listening to
Christ's teachings, while seated at
His feet, Martha complained be-
cause Mary was not also husIed about
the temporal things. and Christ re-
buked her gently, saying that she had
chosen the better things
Father Ryan asked what Christ
would say If He came to the world
today and witnessed the mad struggle
for gold ana temporal power. Would
He be as gentle in His rebuke as He
was with Martha?
The greatness OF the soul was then
dwelt upon. its origin from COO, and
the price God paid for 1t Father
Ryan also showed the value of the
soul by reoiting the offel made by the
evil one. o1 the whole world for one
pure soul lie exhorted his hearers
