The Observer had something- to 'ay the. other day about the love of Col.

But he hit the mark as the following remarks , svfll show: ""Blithe controversy over the doc trine iof the vicarious atonement." ald OoL Byers to an Observer man iSast nlcbt, "It is well to take our Ixtarlnn durine a lull In the pres- 4 nt transitional storm of theologlc dlscuealon, and consider the rellabit- Hty of the first book of the Chamesh V'r Pentateuch, accepted for ages as the -production of Moses." V, in other words, load your guns t, iwhile the enemy sleeps. - , Again: "The conservative Bible -student may safely concede that Gen- ,el or Bereehlth has several authors; " that the first chapter has a dlfter ' ent Style and author from the second nd third, and that the third has a "'.different author still; that the name Set the Supreme Being dlstlngrulshes ftha different autrjors the Elohlst. the , fjebertst and the Elohljehovlst; that ' !Moses was merely a compiler from eariler records.

The formal dedication of the hand ome O'Donohue Hall,' located at the corner of South Tryon and East Stone wall streets, took, place yesterday af ternoon at 4 o'clock. Bishop Ieo Held, of Belmont, delivered ' the dedicatory address. Rev., Father Joseph assisted In the services. The Sisters of Mercy and a large number of the members of St. Jeter's church' were present, Bishop Held paid -very high tribute to the memory of i,iennie u-jjonog- hue. the donor of the school building that pears his name. He . said: i" a "The' name of the beautiful hall; we dedicate to-day suggests the generous donor, Eh". iTDonoghue. i neea say. little of him: it Is only a short time since he left us, and his memory Is still green. -His was a really Catholic spirit. God was always nrst in his mind and heart. He loved the Church because the Church leads us to God. But God Is our Father, hence our own happiness and the happiness of our fellow-beings is intimately united to the service of God. Indeed. God ac cepts a thousand duties in life, if per formed in proper spirit, as homage paid to Himself. God is not Indifferent to our happiness and success in this world. This the good doctor wished to Impress by making the O'Donoghue Hall a kind of centre for the whole congregation. The Knlghti of Colum bus and our young people will And it a pleasant resort; the whole congre gation with their friends will often spend an agreeable hour here. All this Is well, for Christ never intended to make life miserable. We have earnest duties plenty of them but these faithfully performed, we have the right to relaxation and legitimate entertain ment. "Yet Doctor O'Donoghue was still more solicitous for the education of our children In the true sense of that word. I know the very fact of estab lishing Catholic schools wherever pos sible causes us to "bo misunderstood yes. often considered enemies of edu cation. People do not seem to remem ber that every Catholic, whilst paying for the education of his own children, as a taxpayer he is also helping to educate his neighbor's children. It Is a double burden to him; he does nt carry it for his amusement; he would never build and support a Catholic school, could he satisfy his conscience by sending his children to the public schools. Yet he Is no enemy to the public school system. He knows too well that vice and IgViorance are the two great foeB to human happiness. He feels that next to vice, Ignorance is his worse enemy. Hence his solici tude to dispel Ignorance. But vice also must be combat ted. To enlighten the Intellect and leave the will weak and unsupported the heart untrained la wrong. True education takes In the whole thing, enlightens the . mind, strengthens the will and trains the heart. This education must necessarily Include our duties to God. It must In clude a knowledge of our faith, a knowledge of our religious obligations. This means more to Catholics than others know or feel. 'Unless you be lieve, you cannot be saved.' These words of chrtst mean much to us. 'Go teach all nations, teaching them to observe all I have taught you.' This all. In Christ's command, does not mean a smattering of doctrine, but a thorough knowledge, a commingling of faith In our daily lives, a planting and fostering of the divine seed from childhood to old age. And a Catholic's religious duties! Not merely attending church at pleasure, but a worthy re ception of the sacraments, the patient carrying of the cross, etc., all Insep arable from the religion of the cruel fled God. How can they receive due. attention, unless learned and practiced from childhood up? "The education of the heart Is as MftKnuiinrv fi Ihn jwlunuHon fif the rnlnfl ...wl 11,.. Inlnllo,.! Th. OTnoeloneo f nearly 2.000 years teaches us this: the greater the dangers, the more neces- sary the safeguards. When a thous - and teinptatons face our young peo- pie. when the raging torrent of world- ly ambitions, and the destructive con- llagratlons and passions threaten their ruin, we must arm them with a strong and living faith In Ood and strengthen them with an Intelligent use -of the means of preservation established by ("lirlot Hence our solicitude for fi Catholic religious education for our ihlldi-'n. Even with It. many fall, at Ii-uhi for a time, without its restrain ing influence there would be little hope, i know the sacrifices required. We have fully 1.300.000 children In our schools to-day In the I'ntted mates. Not counting the heavy expense of school buildings and keeping them In repair, we are paying nenrly $40,000,000 for this fiithollc education. Heavy as Is the burden, we bear it patriotically and ot the same time pay our share of taxes for the public schools. We nr.- not foolish; we would not do this. Old not our conscience demand the sac rifice. "May 1. dear Catholic parents, Im- press upon your minds once again the Immense importance of supporting 'your Catholic school. It Is your duty, your solemn duty befor"e Ood, Huppnrt your reverend pastor and the good sls- Jnck Uogjters whose lives are worn uway In :your service by aiding them In their ; noble work. And as to-day we thank Uiod, the giver of all good gifts, for MIiIh new token of His favor, we also I with deepest gratitude remember our I generous Iwnefsctor, Doctor O'Donog hue, anil pray Ood to give light and I huppineis to his soul."

K; Boyer Preacliea on fWhraxrt" fta ' Arifinres to the " Theory of Salvation Through Christ' Alone A Meeting; fo ttegtn jncm Week , .g r i HiJ sr , "' J A. very large congregation was pres ent at Tryon Btreet Methodist church yesterday morning, and the subject- of the sermon preached by the pastor. Rev. H. K. Boyer, was "Prayer." In part he said: ' We must remember that man is born Into this world as an animal; ho Is a full developed ani mal, but he la a spirit as well. f , 1 call to your mind the Infants the most ignorant and the most helpless; the most dependent of all God's crea tures, for even the birds and the ani- kmals of the field have in them at birth I - . . , . - -- n mi.A murw jiiBuiiiH- iruui nu muun in fant da the "most helpless creature born into the world, and yet in him are powers that lie dormant, and that when awakened and developed renoer man God's highest creation. "In man is the motive power the will, which makes it possible for him to return to God even after he ha a drifted far away Into the pathe of sin. This motive power, this will In man, makes it possible for man to live In harmony with God. And that is what the atone ment means, the bringing Of the will of man under subjection and Into har mony with God's will, and this state of harmony can be brought about by no other means except ' by prayer. Christ is our pattern-man. He Is our model and he has nromised to lead us not into part of the truth, but Into the whole, truth. And If Christ is our pat tern-man. If He Is our atonement, and He Is, then what we need Is to study Him. to study His character, ana tasn- lon ourselves according to this divine pattern. Jesus Christ was a man or prayer. He spent whole nights in prayer, and He rose early In the morning and spent the early hours of the day In prayer, and if we areto be like Him we must spend much time In prayer. As to the atonement, there are vari ous theories, and In all of these theo ries there is truth, but the grea-t ques tion of the atonement centers In the Son of God, through whom alone we can come to God, and be saved from sin. This Is the great foundation fact. Jesus Christ Is the foundation rock, and the only means of salvation from sin. And we con come to Christ only through prayer. The nower of prayer has been reit and recognized since the beginning of the world. The greait men of the worla have been men of prayer. 'What in prayer? Prayer Is the bring ing of ourselves by desire Into per fect harmony with God. This is not Im possible, but you can do It. If I could get you as a church to pray earnestly for ten days for a great outpouring of God's spirit upon this church there would be such a S-". tual awakening as we have never before witnessed. We should rmember that God Is not a wayfaring man who Is a long distance from us and only to be sought in time of trial, but He is ever present and ever ready to hear us when we call to Him, and we need Him at all times. We need the strength which comes from prayer, and we need the submlls slve spirit In prayer. We need to come to God in prayer, and not to dictate to Him. but to listen to Him. "'There are some limitations to pray er, and It is useless to pray against such limitations. God can't save a man who Is out of harmony with Him and has no desire to be saved. God can't use, a man who... Is out of har mony with Hi in. It Is uselese to pray for a, man to he delivered from evil habits and for his salvation If the man himself has no desire to give up his evil h:iblts and he saved. "Prayer Is is necessary to the growth and development of the spirit ual life as e n lug and sleeping are to the growth ami development of the physical life. And when we put our selves in perfe-t harmony with God, there are no limitations to prayer. God will give ns a much as He can, and the reason we do not receive more blessings is hecaiiHe we are out of har- llnonV With HIS Will 'Whe ever you find a mun of power, vo "d man of nrayer, and this has j t"1P f"v, rv f the world, I Our power In ir hrlstian life is ( measured by our prayer, (lod grant Mint we ns a church may come to b ; recognized more and more as men and : women of prayer. ... !
