two Weeks MISSION
CLOSED SUNDAY night

The two weeks Mission given in St.
Johns r. Z Church was closed on
Snday evening by Rev. JnO. B. Hsr
ney, Paulist, Washington, D. q
In a powerful and eloquent sermon
Father Harney declared Faith with.
out works" as "dead In part his
sermon conveyed the following thought
and doctrines.
Intellect, Will and the Emotions are
so closely allied that except for the
sake Of analysis and definition they
should not be separated in the service Of
God, but all made servants OF His will
The intellect should predominant. but
we cannot serve God with the intellect
alone, for a man may be intellectual and
understand the Sacred Scriptures. the
Word CT God, to his own satisfaction,
and yet not live up to their teaching.
To serve Almighty God in truth we
must devote to Him all that makes up
the man or wOmRn-viz.-Inte
Will and Emotions. When we say
Thy Will be done on earth as it is 10
Heaven" must we not consider that it
is His will that we shall keep the holy
commandments, serve him wholly and
entirely, and love our fellOwmen "Not
every one that saith unto me Lord,
Lord, shall enter into the kingdom Of
heaven but he that dOetb the will Of
my Father which is in heaven" What
make up the emotiOns-hatred, love,
fear, desire, etc. All these may be and
should be used in the service Of God
1t is right to hate untTuthfulness,
selfishness and unehaTita bleness; to
fear sin and love God. We should love
and desire Kindness, Charity and |
Truth Truth that comes to US as rays
OF holy light which emanate from the
great center Of Gods loving heart. 1
Faith is necessary to sslvatiOn-but
something more Is required.
Some believe in faith without Works.
The devils believed in God-yet for their
evil works works we're cast into the
lowest depths Of hell.
Is it reasonable to believe that one
may. have faith.in. GVd, do evil works
and be saved The bible teaches that
Faith without works is dead 20 eye
see then how that by works 8 man is
justified, and not by faith only"
No one should judge a church, CathO.
lie or Protestant, by one Ofits exp0nents,
Or representatives, who walks, astray.
For one, whether Catholic or Non
may stand In the market place
and boast his faith in God, and in the
Doctrines and Creed Of his church, yet
n his daily life and work do evil deeds
going contrary to the commands Of
.he Almighty and giving scandal to
he Greed and Doctrines Of his church.
L. it fair or honest to judge a church
ly some Of it's members who protesting
o believe and worship, still do evil
leeds, acting in violation Of the moral
md religious teachings Of their church.
md neglecting to heed the precepts Of
ur Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ
He who would have salvation must
IOt only believe, that ls to have faith,
ut must bend his will, and all his God !
iven attributes to the Will Of God,
erving Him with all his heart and soul,
D thought, word and deed loving him
beve all other things, and Obeying
Lis commands c
In closing Father Harney said he d
Oped bis mission here had not been in 0
ain, and felt that it had not and that II
e trusted whatever ne had said might o
rove beneficial to Protestant and Cath q
ic alike il so, he was amply repaid d
Ot taking any credit to himself, as he "
simply an humble instrument in the II
ands Of God, but giving all credit and 81
Ory to Him alone. Il
