Sunday after Sunday, the minds of
his people. This the remote prepara-
ton. The*studfes OF seminary days,
in one form or another, must be the
studies Of the priests whole life. 9th
erwise, his intellect is as the field
which has long lain fallow. Slothful
1t is and barren. There nothing new
has been implanted: thence has evap-
Grated even what at one time had
been there. No response will be given,
when the call is made for flower and
fruit, wherewith to beautify and nour-
ish souls. Memo dat quod not hab-
et.' The neglect Of serious and con-
ttnuous study on the part of the
priest more than ought else, is the
cause of that fatal plague in the life
of parishes - poor, unserviceable
preaching.
Then, for each and every sermon
there must be the immediate prepara-
tion-the appropriate reading of books
that treat on the subjects to be
presented to the people on the subse-
quent Sunday, the searching out of
such texts Of scripture and Of doc
trinal affirmations of the church as
bear on the matter under discussion,
the marshalling Of arguments into
harmonious order, finally the clothing
OF the whole structure with decorous
and attractive language. Here is the
work of the week preceding the de-
livery Of the sermon, or at least of
SO much of the week as can be
snatched from other ministerial occu-
pations. A sermon thus prepared will
both instruct and charm the hearer,
and to the priest himself it will be a
joyousness, in which he may we'll
repose complacency, saying to him
self-What l have done is we'll done
"a worthy Offering Of toll and good
will to the Savior Of souls, as the
priests own part in the great work
Of building up the divine Kingdom.
Connected Plan Required.
1.-THE other obstacles to effective
preaching is the random choice OF sub
jects for sermons. One Sunday the
subject is a feature in the life or the
organism of the church; the next, it
Is sacrament or a commandment;
the next again, the love Of God, the
love Of the neighbor or theme of
local gossip-the one subject or the
other, the offshoot of sudden thought
of the mind, or a suggestion in every
day life-frequently the subject being
that which at the moment requires
lesser degree of study, which follows
along lines ofrlesser resistance. The
I, people never acquire a connected
knowledge of religion. Certain truths
most necessary to be known are new
er brought to their attention. The
strength of one special subject lying
largely in the. link binding it to other
subjects, the full argumentative force
Of the faith is at no time pressed up

SERMON TOPICS
Given by Archbishop ireland to
Clergy Of Diocese.


Archbishop John Ireland has ad-
dressed letter to Catholic clergy Of
the diocese outlining a course of SER
mons for Sundays In the first six
months Of 1918, the object being to
obtain a uniformity in the teaching
u Christian doctrine in conformity
with letter OF Pope Plus. April Is
1906. Subjects are suggested for three
Sundays each month, the priests be-
ing given latitude in selection Of the
concluding sermon, one either related
to the preceding ones or otherwise
as best suited to the place and cir
cumstances. The following is the
letter from the Archbishop:
REV. Dear rA.ner-I beg leave to
submit to you a list of subjects of ser.
mons to be preached by the clergy Of
the diocese of st. Paul during the
first half Of the year 1918. Later
other lists, covering other periods Of
time, will likewise be forwarded to
you-those lists being the rule to
which priests are requested to con-
form themselves In the choice of mat
ter for their Sunday instructions. At
no other period Of time In the history
of the church, was there such abso-
lutte need, as there is today, that the
Catholic people be we'll grounded in
the teachings of religion-made to
know we'll what those teachings are,
made to be ready to defend those
teachings from all contradiction, to
be fitted out, through deep convic-
ton, to stand by them amid the perils
of combat and actualize them in daily
conduct despite the allurement Of all
temptations. And in no other coun-
try, today, Is the need Of this deep
and all-permeating instruction so
pressing in it's demands, as 1t Ia in
our own America. Today, in America,
the war against the faith Is violent
and insidious. Opponents Of the
faith Catholics meet at every step.
The atmosphere they breathe is
charged with the poisonous effluvia
Of unbelief and irreligion. Within
their ranks there is no security for
the timid and the ill-equipped. The
soldier, the hero, each one must stand
on his own feet, upheld by his own
courage. This the Catholic will new
er do who is not thoroughly we'll
grounded in the teachings Of his re-
ligion.
Priest the Source.
"From whom will come the instruc.
ton so sorely needed? From the priest
In the Sunday pulpit. The priest has
the divine commission to preach, to
teach. To the apostolic ancestry OF
the priest was the Injunction spoken:

by the Saviour Of men; he fails In
the first, the most important Of his
duties-that imposed upon him as the
successor of all apostles, the herald
of Christ's message to humanity.
"The measure Of the preaching, the
teaching, Of the priest, is the meas.
ure OF the faith of the people, the
measure Of their flrmness In their
religion and Of their ability to over.
come its enemies. Where the preach.
ing. the teaching, is null, or next to
null. through Incidence or inefilciency
on the part of the priest, there is
spiritual famine and with 1t spiritual

pool await the sick and the weary;
but none there are to bear them to

day, in America, the responsibility
to preach, to teach, worthily and eff.

the priest. Woe to him, woe to
souls. woe to the church, it this re.

"The impossible obstacles to effec.
tiveness in preaching, are the lack of
previous preparation, and the random
selection of subjects to be treated of
in the pulpit.
ITO hold the attention of the hear.
ers, to leave upon their minds an
abiding impress, the sermon neces.
sarily must be the fruit Of prolonged
thought and serious study. The priest
has to his charge labors so many
and so absorbing, that the peril con.
fronting him is the putting on the
same plane with other duties the

priest must be the scholar of studious

labors, to hold those books frequently

Temptation Removed.

TO this random choice of subjects,
We must attribute, in a very extensive
share, the lack of solid and enlighten.
ing religious instruction, from which
SO many of our Catholic people griev-
ously suffer, to the fatal detriment Of
faith and of morals.
ut is believed that the means of
removing obstacles to good and eff
cient preaching lies in supplying to
priests lists of the subjects to be
treated by them in their Sunday SER
mons. This done, the temptation to
random choice of matter no longer
runs. Within a few years the doc
trines and commandments of religion
are heard Of in proper consecutive.
ness and with fair degree of COM
pleteness. And, then, the subject of
the sermon for the following Sunday
being plainly visible, the week
through, to the eye of the priest, the
likelihood is, he will devote more
study to it than If it were simply
evoked into indefinite shape, some
few hours before the moment Is at
hand to take his place in the pulpit"
