Father O'Brien's sermon follows:
I'm the book of the prophet,
Ezechial. we read how God revealed
in a vision to the prophet, the great
.,v Of Jerusalem. 1t was spread out
before him in all its grandeur, glory
and magnificence. The great temple
was there with its massive walls OF
chiselled stones. inc its guided dome
reflect cd the splcndor of the noon-day
sun He beheld its streets ~thronged
with abusy people, yea. a chosen peo-
ME. favored by Almighty God, be
cause He had revealed 10 them the true
faith. The magnificence Of that WIS
ion brought to the soul OF the proph-
of sentiments of the deepest love. ana
emotions of intense JOY. But sudden
Iv God drew aside the veil which
screened from his eyes all that was
going on within the walls Of that ia
rored CITY. He then saw all the sins
and crimes.-all the outrages and
denominations of every description con
ceiyable. and mediately all the JOY
that filled the soul Of the prophet was
turned into the bitterest sorrow, be-
cause that people had left the Lord,
their God.
"If. dearly beloved. it were given to
us 10 look out in vision upon this fair
land of ours, as it was given to the
pornhet Ezechial to look out upon the
CITY of Jerusalem. what q glorious
snectacle would be presented to us.
Opulent cities, thriving villages. broad
spreading p~rairies and high-peaked
mountains would all be spread before
uS. stately magnificent
churches and humble little chapels in
the country with their spires pointing
~heavenward, preaching by their elo-
ouent silence the great eternal truth
that mans everlasting destiny as not
in this world but in heaven. all these
would speak to our hearts and tell us
that we were in very truth. a God
fearing and q God-loviug people.
II Veil Were Removed
The hum of industry, the busy mart
and the crowded streets in the popu-
lous cities of our nation might well be-
speak to us q thrifty. tremendously
united and contented people. What
thrills Of joy would the splendor Of
such a scene bring to our very souls.
But if Almighty GOD were to remove
the veil that hides from our vision
and reveal TO us all the secret machi-
nations and p%lottings, all the chican-
cries and evil devices. all the misrep-
reservations and i~ntrigues. all the I'M
fair, unjust and unchristian acts that
are being perpetrated, thereby disin-
;egrafing Christianity and denying Al
mighty God His rightful place in the
world and in the hearts of mankind. All
then. would the joy that filled our
hearts be changed to feelings of sin
cerest sorrow. because We had forsak-
en-. we had left the Lord. our God.
God Almighty sent His only begot-
ten Son into this world to be the model
for mankind and to be the Light of the
world. This is my beloved Son. in
whom. i am well pleased, hear ye
