HOLY, ALL POWERFUL, Is the Name of Jesus-ReV. F. L. Fitz- Patrick Breaches Against It's Irrev- erent, indifferent Use.

The ingratitude, as well as the sin of profanity and irreverent use of the name of the Saviour was convincingly set forth on Sunday, the feast of the holy name of Jesus, when at the high mass in St. Patrick's church Rev. r. l.. FitzPatrick preached from thes epistle for the day,Acts iv.S T., ,basing his ser mon on the concluding text: For there is no other name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be saved.
 The preacher considered the name Of Jesus as most holy and most powerful. directing attention to its origin, it's significance and Christ'S own promises as to it's efficacy with His Father.
 The name first spoken to Mary in the salutation of the Angel Gabriel, and thou shalt call His name Jesus" the name which was the sole means by which the apostles conquered the known world for Christ, has ever been the strength of the weak and the tempted, the solace of the sorrowing, epitomizes the gospel of Christ's sacri- flee for us, is the final message of hope and cheer for the dying Christian
 Realizing it's meaning then, the speak CT urged his listeners to improve the opportunity on the recurrence of the feast to pledge themselves against it's irreverent and indifferent use.
 The high mass was celebrated by the Rev. Joseph E. Mccarthy. The offer tory was sung by Roderick F. Sullivan, accompanied with customary sympathy and effective registration by the organ iSt MT. Farrell.

 Tablets Sent Free.
 Man inhabits every part of the globe where external influences can be sucr cessfully resisted. Food is an import ant element in effecting this. and na- ture has provided for it accordingly. The colder the climate the more ani- nal food and oily substances are re- quired; the warmer a preponderance of vegetables and fruits is necessary in one's diet.
 The whale blubber of the fur-ciad Eskimo. and the rice of the nude Afrl- can, are as much necessities of local ny as matters of choice. The same indications exist in civilization. Thus, the diet in America and England is essentially different from that in Italy, Spain and Egypt.
 The effects of universal communi- cation are nowhere more obvious than on the luxurious table. TO furnish the refined cuisine, all climates, both tion, and the stomach is expected to digest. without assistance everything that is put into it. Combining to- eether such varied products. and the neglect of the relation between clim- ate and foods. are very active causes Of dyspepsia.
 The heavy substantial dishes Of this climate accord badly with the ther- mometer at ninety degrees; and an infiexibility in regulating the kind and quantity of food is q cause of a large proportion of the i'll health and stom- ach troubles among the English and Americans.
 Thousands of people who have suf- fered from stomach troubles. and n general ill-health resulting therefron. because of a badly regulated diet, and the ingesting of an excessive amount of food at the table, have obtained speedy and permanent relief by means Of simple expedient-that of using one or two of STUART'Sf DYSPEP- SIA TABLETS after each meal. or whenever any of the we'll known symptoms of indigestion are present.
