FATHER ALLARD TELLS
OF CHURCH'S HISTORY
Says That Church Organized by Christ
is Here Today-lntereSt in Mis-
sion Still Continues.

"The Church" was the subject CT
Father Allard's sermon last night at
St Joseph's church, The great in
terest felt in the mission was mani
tested both by the large attendance,
and the close attention given the
speaker.
Rev Father McKeefry conducted
the services, offering evening prayer,
and giving benedicton of the blessed
sacrament.
Father Allard in his sermon said :
That Christ came on earth not only
to teach the people of His own coun-
try and day. but He wished to convey
to all men till the end OF time, the
same doctrines that He Himself had
taught. That this might be accom-
plished He founded a church to go
down through the centuries and teach
for Him. He promised that He would
be with that church till the end Of
time. Therefore two things follow;
that church which Christ founded is
in the world today. has been in the
world ever since He founded it and
must continue to exist till the end of
time. Furthermore. il it has been ap-
pointed to teach for Him. it must
teach as He taught j. e. with author
ity giving certainty, and teaching a
doctrine Of unity. The Catholic
church exactly tulfllls these condi-
tons. both by her continuous history
for nineteen hundred years. and by
her mode of teaching

lnfallibility of the Pope"
