sLEcTURE.

its capacity last evening at the mis-
stopary services being conducted by
tho Dominican fathers. Instruction
% the nosary was given by Father
Akert. The sermon was delivered
by Father Leprenteur Thou shalt
nnG bear false witness against thy
nA4hbo"' was the topic of the lecture
given by Father Leprenteur. He said
In part: "A fallen woman was taken
before Christ. with the request that
she be stoned to death 1t was the de-
cree OF the Pharisees that woman
ah0uld be punished in this manner.
and knowing this. the woman was
he0ught to be Judged by Jesus Christ.
Chnst saw their plans, he saw their
righteousness. Christ said: He that
10 without sin among you, let him
cast the first stone He wrote some
thing on the ground, and one by one
thes party departed Christ, turned
to the woman and said, Woman. hath
np man condemneth thee, then go and
SIN no more
&Trom this we should take les
son OF kindness and gentleness Of
speech. It has been often repeated:
Many are called but few are chosen
Many are called but only few par
take Of the blessings Of Jesus Christ.
There are few real Christians in the
world. We may see people who lead
Christian life in every other way
but are not exempt to criticize their
neighbor. The evils of the tongue are
the worst
Control the tongue and you control
the whole being. The tongue is like
the helm of large ship, when the
helm is out of order the ship may be
wrecked. The tongue is used to bless
and curse God, but we know that two
waters cannot issue from one foun-
tain God gave us man to know
Him, heart to love Him. but above
all He gave us speech to sing His
praises here on earth and as angels
In heaven. God made us social be-
ings, that we might enjoy one anoth-
er's company. How dismal the world
appears to the deaf mute, who has not
the use Of hearing or speech. Life to
them is lonely and melancholy The
sun OF life is gone from them How
much abused is the freedom of speech.
1t is used often to blaspheme the only
God. The tongue leads others into
sin. There are few evils worse than
the unruly tongue.
1T is used often to cry down the
character of man. good name is
better than richness. Riches cannot
