    "ocrText": "each\ntime\nteachings of the Church The gospel of the day,\nJohn, viii.-treating of 10 insidious questions put\nto Jesus by the Pharisees and His masterly answers\nwherein He justified His doctrines and baffled His\ntempters-was briefly commented upon by Dr. Mc-\nGlynn. The sentiments of the Jews in this gospel,\nsaid he, aptly represent the feelings of our own\ntimes in relation to the Word of God, which\nas often falls flat from the pulpit upon\nthe hearers as did Christ's admonitions to the\nPharisees who mocked at Jesus, questioned His au-\nthority and identity, and even reviled Him, calling\nHim a devil, a heretic, a Samaritan-most opprobri-\nous terms in those times. Preachers of to-day may\ntake some small comfort from the idea that the dis-\nciples shall not exceed the Master, who also often ex-\nhorted in vain. But Christ minded not the jibc of\nthe Pharisees, but calmly and irrefutably answered\ntheir scornful questions. To them He answered,\n\"Before Abraham was made am -a reply that con-\nfirms to all ages His eternal presence. In return for\nthe wondrous love Jesus manifested to the Jews\nthese ingrate, carnal minded men, who ignored the\nspiritual kingdom offered them by Christ, re-\nviled Him, threw stones at Him, where-\nupon He was constrained to hide from them.\nThere are in our own days imitators\nof these Jews; men who by their pestilent lives\nthrow discredit on religion. They are a blotch and\na vile sore upon the body of the faithful.\nRELAPSES INTO SIN.\nIn St. Patrick's Cathedral the solemn high mass was\ncelebrated by Father Donovan, Father Lavelle\ndeacon, Father Kelly sub-deacon, and Father Mc-\nDonnell master of ceremonies. Archbishop Corri-\ngan and Mgr. Quinn were present. Father Connick,\nwho occupied the pulpit, took his text from the\nninth epistle of St. Paul to the Hebrews:-\"Not by\nthe blood of goats and oxen, but by the b100d of\nChrist which cleanseth our souls from dead\nworks to serve the living God.\" How often,\nsaid the preacher, are our sins wiped out\nin the confessional, and then how often\ndo we render fruitless the spilling of the blood of\nChrist by relapsing into our former crimes! By re-\nlapses I do not mean those repetitions of minor\noffences which are due to the weakness of human\nnature, but an actual continuation of old sins. True\nrepentance implies a change of heart and impels us\nto love that which is good and despise what is evil.\nOur sorrow must be a just, a prudent and a super-\nnatural one. The case of Lot's wife should be a\nlasting warning in this resp it. She did not dread\nthe wicked city of Sodom because of its crimes\nagainst God, but on account of the fire and brim-\nstone that were consuming it. She was warned not\nto look back into that fearful sink of iniquity,\nbut she disregarded the angel's voice and was\nthereupon made a terrible example for relapsing sin-\nners through all future ages by being suddenly pet-\nrified. Final impenitence is the usual effect of\ndivine love unrequited and divine mercy repeatedly\ntrampled upon. Relapses in physical disorders are\nthe most difficult to be cured. So it is with the soul.\nTHE REALITY OF BELIEF.\nThe Right Rev. Frederic D. Huntington, S.T.D.,\nBishop of Central New York, preached in the morn-\ning in Calvary Church, Fourth avenue and Twenty-\nfir street. He took his text from Paul to the\nE1 esians, ii., 4, and Matthew, X., 6. First, said\nthe preacher, let us know where we stand in regard\nto the world around us. Take, for instance, the"
