sermon on Hell" was vigorous de-
fense of its existence and he answer

His text was Matthew X:2S. One
argument Father Condor answered
was the following: Did God ever
create a man 10 damn Him? And yet
doesn't God know from the beginning
that you are going TO help So. no
man can believe that God ever created
man to damn Him" The answer is.
God wishes every man TO be saved I;

.the same sentence as before; will he
appeal No; he submits, of course.

At THE GARRICK.

Boyer's girl minstrel trouple, which
is filling an engagement at the Gar
rick Theatre this week, is providing
quite a novelty in vaudeville enter
tainment. There are seven members
of the company all girls, and they ap-
pear to have made a thorough study or
minstrelsy. They are good singers
and dancers and have plenty of jokes.
In fact, the act would do credit to a
male company, while II has the added
novelty of being given by girls some
of whom take the parts of "end men
with the same good result as If these
parts were taken by men. This is one
of the novel features of a most inter-
esting bill which is pleasing the Gar
rick patrons this week.
