Oyster Dredoino Beains.

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
BOWERS BEACH. April 2.-This
was the opening day for the dredging
season on the natural oyster rocks OF
the Delaware, and. judging from the
finds made early in the day by the
oyster fleets where the young spawn
had accumulated and caught every
imaginable thing that could drift or
sink in water, it was no all-fools' day
excursion for the oystermen. Tie
weather was all that could be desired
and the oystermen were greatly en-
couraged at the growth they found.

c.. preached the Lenten sermon in the
Cathedral last night. There was a
remarkably large attendance. Dr.
Russelrs reputssion as a speaker Of
more than ordinary ability being well
known in this city The satisfaction
and peace Of good life we're enunci-
ated as the note of lubilation that
came with the self-restraint OF the
Ienten season. DR.. Russell used as a
striking antithesis the peace and JOY Of
the self-subjected Catholic and she
misery Of the one who yielded 70 un-
bridled passions and appetite He
said in part:
THE religion Of Christ is one Of sut-
fering. God has said. Take up The
cross and follow me- But let US re-
member that while ereligionis one Of SUI
fering and sorrow it is not one Of hope
\ less despair for God leads US 70
peace and eternal glory in the end and
win give you strength in this life, But
this VIII be only through humility and
subjection of yourself.
God desires that we shah suffer,
not because he has ceased TO love us,
but because all good rests on suffer
ing self-subjection. 1t is through your
restraint that God has protected you
from the evil that awaits you. II you
are above the brute. If you are not the
lowest of all creatures. 1t is because
God has bidden you 60 restrain your
self and you have obeyed All this Is
a reason why the self-restraint OF
Lent brings a message OF JOY to you.
Let us remember the bitterness. Of
the last,sin. Let those who are tempt.
ed remember the Word and stanC
against temptation. And then let then
know the peace and satisfaction o.
having followed Gods command. lie
us rejoice. therefore. in our suffering
Let US practice Gods commands il
this time of Lent. so that like soldiers
who drill in times Of peace, we shal
be able 20 withstand evil when
comes. Let US take up the battle nov
and every day. He that win conn
after Me. let him take up his eros
