 world a mystery unexplained.''
 He said that religion is the greatest
 need of man, that the heart of man
 the world over, be he savage or civil
 ized, seeks it.
 The archbishop then spoke of the
 church as the home of the Living Presence, and he discussed the mys-
 tery of the incarnation. He pointed
 out that nothing is impossible to the Deity hence the incarnation was not a matter of speculR tion as to it's pos sibility, but merely a question as to
 whether God had willed it to be. And thus came most marvellous answer to mans 1ongings," said he.
 He spoke of Christ's institution of
 his church, of his bidding his humble
 fishermen to go forth to spread the
 gospel. Not by the sword, for he re-
 buked him who drew the sword; nor
 by legislation, for that is merely in
 cidental to the propagation 5f the
 faith; but by the revelation of His faith.
 The archbishop became most elo-
 quent in speaking of the divine na-
 ture of the Catholic church, and of
 the eternity of the love of Christ. Who is there, said he, with twelve whom he may call friends; whom he can expect to sacrifice life or riches for his advancement? The speaker ventured that there was none. None who is Q6Ad, Sd1Q ne, IS ION0Q. I 6L CnT1SC,
 he said, ..has claimed the love of his people for 20 centuries, and from the days of the Roman Empire, down to today, men, women and children have gone forth willingly, and eagerly, to lay down their lives for Him and for His faith. This he held up as con vincing proof of the supernatural character of the faith.
 He extended his congratulations to the pastor and to his assistants for the realization of their ambitions, and re- minded the congregation that they would receive rich blessing for their splendid work.
 The archbishop referred in eloquent
 terms to the zeal. of Father NfhilI, of his assistants, and of the cooperation given them by their flock.
 At. the end of mass Bishop Milan his joy at the dedication of the church, and reminding the parishioners that they will be rewarded a hundred fold for their gifts to the church.
 He spoke of the potent influence of the Catho1ic church on the characters Of men, dwelt with especial emphasis on the education the Catholic church gives it's children. He told the people of St. Patrick's that while the church was splendid triumph, their work was not complete, and that they must resolve to build a sckool where the children of the parish may be fitted properly to assume the duties of citi- zenshfp, to become men and women whose ideals will serve to protect and safeguard the state.
 The yesper services at 7:30, despite the continued unsettled condition of the weather, brought a sti11 larger at- tendance, with many priests who had not been able to visit the new church In the morning. The choir amplified to exceptional strength rendered a splen- did program. fRey. Joseph A. Molry, the eloquent Jesuit educator and mis- sionary of Jersey City, preached the sermon.
 He took the text: 'sI have sanctifed this house which thou hast built and my eye and my heart will be there a1- ways With characteristic e1oquence l he preached a stirring sermon on the Catholic faith, referring to St. Pat l rick's church as a symbol of the re- Iigion founded by the Saviour.
