WISDOM OF THE LEPER
Greater Than That of Men in Latte Days, Rev. T. A. Grumby Tells St Patrick's Congregation.

The miracle of the leper made clean and that of the healing of the centuri- ans servant were narrated in the gos- pei for the 24th Sunday after Pente- cost from which Rev, Thomas A Grumbly preached at the high mass in St. Patrick's church Sunday, These accounts of the curing of the body fig ure that healing of the soul from sin which must come through Christ.
 The preacher pointed out the fact that had the leper delayed to go to the Saviour to be made clean his action would have seemed unaccOuntable and foolish; yet in these days men care lessiy remain with souls diseased with theterrible leprosy of sin and do not hasten to seek the one and only cure.
 It is the practice of St. Patrick S organist and chorister, F. l., Farrell, to make his musical programmes on stormy Sundays even more attractive than usual. Yesterday his effertory so- loist was Miss Florence Northrop, whose sweet and sympathetic voice was heard to good advantage in Luzzis Ave Maria.

TAFTVlLLE PASTOR
 SPEAKS AT Y. M. C. A.
Rev. D. B. MacLane Addressed Men
 Upon The Manliness of Christ.

Rev. Donald B. MacLane, pastor of the Taftville Congregational church, was the speaker at the Sunday after- noon service for men at the Y. M. c. A., and in spite of the rain there was a good number present. An entertain ing programme was given by Swahn' 8 orchestra. Rev. MT. MacLane took as his subject The Manliness of Christ.
 He read the 18th chapter of St. John, taking as his text the words of Pilate, Behold the man" These words, said the speaker, were uttered in ridicule and contempt of the Christ. Pi1ate felt the Christ was too insignificant to cruelty as he pointed the finger of scorn at Jesus. But time has made many changes and today it is not with scorn but with admiration and worship that we say Behold the man." He was the one true man, for he measured up to what man should be.
 A true man must be courageous, for a coward is counterfeit. Alone in the midst of enemies ChriSts lips never quiVered; when he was surrounded by the mob in the garden at midnight he did not seek to escape, but asked Whom seek yer" and 'I am he." The true man must speak the truth always Jesus was a man of truth at all costs. When the chief priest asked if he were the Christ, the son of God though he knew it sealed his doom, he bore wit uSSS to the ITuCH. f16aNen ana SaTlU shall pass away but his word shall never pass away because it is the truth.
 The true man must be wise to see the truth he must know men and be of sound judgment. Christ was wise he knew the vanity of the world, the strength of God, and that by losing his life he would save it and the world. The true man must have self control. Behold this man who was his own master seeing the agony of the death which was before him yet controlling himself to the end, refusing stimulants offered him by the soldiers. Strong men make enemies, they say, but 1 would say that strong men make friends, and friendships are a test of the mans strength. Christ seeing death approaching spent the last night comforting his disciples and his last hour helping friends The true man must not only be a man of friendship but must be friendly to all classes and conditions of men, with a warm, sym pathetic heart Jesus laboring under the fatal cross had the fate of the people in his heart He prayed for the forgiveness of his enemies on the cross and comforted the dying penitent thief at his side with This day shalt thou be with me in paradise"
 The world reveres a man who will die for his duty as Christ died He wrought everlasting salvation by dying for it. Behold the man; be like the man, for he is all that we should be- he is Gods ideal of man.
