Tho day was spcclnlly observing In nil tin

Illshop Scnnncll delivered his sermon In
a low conversational tone without nny tit

Ill his opening remarks Illshop Scanned
briefly reviewed tho llfo of St. Patrick and
directed 'his attention to thn one character
istic of his labors, tbu permanency of his
missionary work. Ho suld in part:
Tho convention of the Irish people to
Christianity was a lusting conversion. Tho
Irish people, us a people, have iilwnyn hum
faithful to tho tnichlifg which St. l'.itrlcfc
proposed to tlu-lr forefathers fifteen cen
turies ago.
What greater pnilso can wo glvo n people
than to Hiiy of them thnt they have been
a faithful people thnt tlny huvu liei.n
faithful and trim to t.he ciiuve, or the
caiiHi'C, which they Judged the best nnd
the holiest"; And such n people, havo been
I ho Irish people. They have been true to
fa llh anil fatherland; and In this respect
the history of no nation supplies a nobler
record than dm-H that of the Irish people.
They wi-ru truo nnd loyal to God and coun
try, not only In the duyn of their pros
Verity, when Ireland whs the Iidund of
Huliits nnd Scholars, but also In thn days
of mlvoislty, Kor days of ndvoridty Ml
xipon tho Irish people dark days, and days
of hitter und prolonged sorrow. Thrlr
country was laid waste, their schoolH were
outlawed, their churches wero destroyed or
handed over to the stranger, tho religious
I'otnmuultlcH wero suppressed ami their
property conllscated, tho same price, v.'as

Thorn Is many iv dark page in tho his
tory of tho human nice many u pni:o that
tells of man's Inhumanity to man, hut In
ull human history there Is no record that
surpasses In barbarism and mullgulty that
of tho penal laws n Ireland. Tho Jews,
In tho days of their captivity, wept by
the rivers of Kaliylon over tho sorrows of
their beloved Jerusalem; nnd so did tho
Irish people, weep during tho penal days
over tho sorrows of their church and their
native laud. Who can describe the depth
of their sorrow and humiliation7 They
were robbed of their nil ami then wero
reproached with their poverty. A nrlco

Into exile. And tho ungenerous oppressor,
not satlslled with the ruin which tin had
brought on them nt home, pursued them
over the world with his reproaches and
calumnies. Kugllsh llternturo of tho last

Neal Dow, tho Illustrious Maine pro
hibition's!, waH eulogized by Kev. Clydo
Clay Clssell yesterday morning nt Hanscom
Park Methodist church, The approaching
anniversary of tho birthday of tho great re
former Inspired the tribute Hev. CIbscII
paid to his memory.
"Uvery ngo has its heroes, men who dare
to do what they believe, to bn right, men
who nro not afraid to slnnd nlono nnd dt
feud principles at which godlesB men scoff,"
sold tho preacher. "Neal Dow was notublo
among tho heroes of tho nineteenth con
tury. Ho had courage equal to that of men
who faco tho cannon and do not flinch In
tho faco of the enemy's bullets.
"Neal Dow was responsible for the pro
hibition law which stands on the statute
books of Maine. Ho succeeded In having tho
law enacted nnd created public Hontlmeut
which has enforced that law. To him can
bo traced tho relentless war which has been
waged ogalnst tho liquor trnfflo In tho
United States. Ho was tho father of pro
hlbltlon, tho greatest tempernnco worker
of his age.
"Tho world needs many Neal Dowb. It
needs men who nro fearless and do not
hesitate to denounce a wrong aud seek re
forms. And tho world has many men of this
sort. In city nnd state nnd nutlonal gov
ernments conscientious meu nro correcting
evils. Thero nro men In tho Nebraska legls
latum who havo been fearless In their op
position to bills which would have worked
ngalnst tho best Interests of tho public."
Importance of Faith,
llev, I'oter Itobcrtson of Cincinnati
preached at tho Firbt I'rebbyterjnn church
yesterday mornlug. "Justification by Faith"
was tho subject of the sermon In which llev,
Kobortson emphasized the Importance of
faith In Uhrlst and showed that It Is es
sential to salvation.
"Faith Is tho basis of n consistent Chris
tian life," said the preacher. "Without
faith tt Is Impossible to realize tho bless
ings of n llfo eternal. Good deeds and a
vlttuous life will not bring about the, sal
vation of a man, who has. not faith,"
Ura. George McLcran of Chicago, formerly
' thn purpose of reviving bitter memories,
i or of Intensifying national antipathies.
Such a purpose would tie unbosoming In

would not be Christina in nny plain or nt

nave iieen tun rurse or ine niininii rue.
Ambitious und unscrupulous rulers havo
always traded on these antipathies, and
for their own selfish purposes havo ar
rayed peoiilo against peoplo In Icadly
strife, urging" them on to sncrlflco their
lives and promising them glory us their
soln rownrd. Glory! As though truo

cre. Poor human racel Certainly I do
lot condemn nationalities, or object to
them. On the contrary, I should llko nil
peoples to retain their national chitruc
torlstlcs so far us these nro good In them
selves and helpful to the people. Hut thn
human race Is, after all, ono In origin
mid destiny, nnd nationalities but Indi
cate find hum! down ncldcntnl peculiarities.
All peoples have their faults, even the
Irish people. And It may be. If tho case
had been reversed and tho Irish had been
the stronger people. It may bo th.it they
would not have always acquitted them
selves with strict Justice toward tho
weaker nation. Kven wo Americans, with
our buusted love of liberty, ate we not
doing things today that many of tha best
nnd wisest of our peoplo condemn nnd re
pudiate ns far ns they can? iN'or do I
wish to Imply that nil Huglishmcn npprovo
of the dark deeds that hnve been dono In
Ireland In the past. I prefer to liellova
that to many of them those deeds nro the
source of shnmo and humiliation. And nil
history tenches that religious animosity,
especially when It becomes fanaticism, can
lead to frightful excesses. It Is vain to
expostulate or reason with fanatics with
those who think, ns h well-known writer
puts It, that through unbelievers' blood
lies their dlrectest path to henven, All
thnt wo enn do Is to reprobato their deeds
whlln we pity themselves. I refer to these
things of tho pnst solely to give you nn
Idea of thnt wonderful fidelity tn thnt
heroin fortitude which enabled the Irish
people, hh a people, to survive tho penal
days nnd to hnnd down to 'their dsccnd
lints the faith which St. Patrick bud
preached to their forefathers In tho fifth
century.
Present and l'liturc.
Respecting the present nnd the futurn
tho bishop said there had been n marked
Improvement In tho temporal condition of
tbo peoplo during tho past thirty or forty
years. Oppressive laws havo boon modified,
facilities for education Increased, nnd the
rights of the people In many ways secured
Hut tho Irish people, ho doclarcl, havo
within thnt period In many ways de
teriorated nnd have been losing many of
their best national characteristics. Ho re
joiced to know that concerted efforts' wero
now being mado to check the backwnrd
tendency nnd ro-establlsh thoso racial
characteristics which distinguish tho Irish
rrom other peoples. Tho chief means to
that end Is tho restoration of tho Irish
language ns tho common language of tho
peoplo. So well has tho Innguago movomcnt
progressed In thn last year or two that It.
gives reasonable assurances of success.
In conclusion the bishop snld:
If Irishmen do not always commund the
respect or tho confidence of their fnllow
clllzcus. It Is largely due to tho fuel that
they allow themsel cs, too often, to bo
led by unworthy men self-appointed lead
ers, for whose misdeeds they nro held re
sponsible. Irishmen hnvn never been re
garded us wanting In physical couragu.
Let them also not b wanting In moral
courage. I-ot them havo tho courage to
thrust aside and repudiate, In every case
anil without hesitation, thoso so-cnlled
Irishmen whoso lives nnd conduct show
that they are not tit to ussoclato with de
cent nnd honest men.
And never ullow your nice to bo reviled
or burlesqued If, by lawful means, you cun
prevent It. Never sit quletiy by whllo
th.it vulgarian, called tho stago-lrlahman.
Is doing his best to bring ridicule on your
people. If you enn do nothing elso you
can rlso ami walk out and absent your
self from such exhibitions In the future.
Anil If every other Irishman and Irish
woman will do tho snme. nnd they will
do It If they have proper self-respect, these
outrages will ceaso to be profitable and
will soon como to an end. Those who trulv
respect themselves will be respected br
others. For the Irish people, true to themselves,
truo to the spirit of their forefathers, loynl
to the best traditions of tho Irish raco
und fnlthrul to Uod I nugur n futuro that
will be worthy of a meritorious past.
