joiced at t'ie things that were said to
ine: we shall go into ttie house of God
and supplemented it with several bib
lical extracts. He said:
"Among the pravers whieh the cer
emonial proscribes for the dedication of
a church is to be found in the psalm
from which our test is taken. It was
written by King David for the Pilgrim,
who annually visited the temple at
Jerusalem on certain great feasts
VVnou the time for those pilgrimages
was approaching, those intending to
participate would call to one another:
'We are going to the temple of God!'
We have today come into this new
house of God; hence our joy and glad
ness so truly expressed by the psalmist.
I rejoiced at the things that were

"First. A
exchanged an
one.
"Second. A supernatural
which is based in four motives.
"First motive. We have done a
good work. We have reared a temple
to God. Glory, honor, peace to every
one who doeth good, Rorn. 2, 10.
"Second motive. God has aecepte l
onr good work and taken up his abode
this day iu our new church. 'Behold
the tabernacle of God with men.'
Apoc. 21, 3. 'How terrible is this
place,' we must exclaim with Jacob,
'This is no other than the house of
God. and the gate of heaven.' Gen.
28, 17. For there now dwells here 'II
whom the heaven of heavens cannot
contain. Kings 28, 17.
"Third motive The C d who dwells
here is not merely a God of adoration,
hut also a God of grace and every help.
From this altar, the throne of grace.
He wishes to transmit grace and help
to all, through holy mass, through tho
aacramenU. Even the dea l are not
forgotten. Your new church jnst
dedicated ia a honse of grace, became
Ood, who dwells in it, is pre eminently
the God of grace.
' Fourth motive The God who
dwells here is tho Ood of truth and
justice. Truth and justice yon will be
taught here in the sermons and in
structions. 'Going, therefore, teach
ye all nations, teaching them to ob
serve nil things whatsoever I have
commanded you.' ftlath. 2S.29, This is
the priest's divine commission. He
must teach yon God's truth that yon
may believe His will that you may ful
fill it."

your worthy pastor for what he has

in the selection of the pictures, the

MOTTO DECORATION3.
Au U'.d English Fashion and Colonial Idea
It. is Ilt-en Uevlved.
The motto fashion, if one may be per
PiiUed the wnrd, that for a timo seemed
to find its only expression in stiff, inartis
tic illuminations formed and set with
ungraceful rigidity mid hung on the
walls of our houses, is, in our modern ar
tistic homes, in quite different evidence.
The simple rustic prayer of "God Bless
Cur Home" and others of the same sort
have yielded to fine bits of decorative

work effectively introduced in handsome
apartments. It is thoold English notion,
and colouial idea as well, again accentu
ated after it long interregnum.
Attention is called to tho foregoing
fashion by tho New York Times, which
tells that in tho home of ono of our
well known illustrators, over the mantel
in tho large und airy dining room, tho
inscription, "A Table Full of Welcomo
Will Score Ono Dainty Dish," is picked
out in the wood in old English text with
admirable effect.
In another artistic home, cited by the
authority quoted, is an ornamental pair
of closet doors betting tho text, "Fust
Bind, Fast Find." It is not only deco
rative and i llcctive, but tells a story of
system, method nnd careful housekeep
ing that means good liomemaking.
The motto idea is capable of consider
able application. W hero wood carving
is not suitable or attainable, a panel or
banner can be accomplished of silk,
satin or linen, either in somber or gay
colors. On either of these three a motto
l. UA.J i ii i a ft M . i .,,
vain uu in liquid gold mat will
prove most attractive when finished. A
quaint and graceful design of lettering
should be selected. In a breakfast room
the motto, "Now, Good Digestion Wait
on Appttlte and Health on Both," or
over tho family hearthstone the senti
ment, "East or West, Home's tho Best,"
is happy in its tender suggestion.
Workers in hammered brass will find
tho employment of their art specially
artistic in producing mottoos, and sneh,
framed with a simple molding or not
framed at nil, are uuiquo and desirable.
